  • Wait up, I just checked and you’re technically right - PTFE is definitely a PFAS. Dunno if it’s dangerous or frequently breaks down into dangerous PFAS, but FWIW I’ve long suspected that nonstick pans can’t be good for you. I’ve never seen a nonstick pan that doesn’t have a single scratch in anyone’s kitchen before.

    You could probably stand to improve the clarity of your arguments though haha

    People like you fucking disgust me. Either you’re willfully ignorant or maliciously so. Both are equally pathetic.

    Not gonna get very far talking to people like that. Lucky for you I empathize with your intentions,










  • Every Russian bot says that though, but then they start saying ‘oh actually Western media is all lies and glorious Russia is totally winning the war!’

    Lucky for you, I don’t believe that either.

    Let me guess, it actually says that Russia is totally winning and actually not getting humiliated by Ukraine?

    No, it doesn’t; Russia is getting humiliated by Ukraine. But it also says they’ve expended only about 1/3 of their armed forces:

    Of the 360,000 troops that made up Russia’s pre-invasion ground force, including contract and conscript personnel, Russia has lost 315,000 on the battlefield, according to the assessment. 2,200 of 3,500 tanks have been lost, according to the assessment. 4,400 of 13,600 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers have also been destroyed, a 32 percent loss rate.

    Before the invasion, Russia had a total standing military of approximately 900,000 active-duty troops, including ground troops, airborne troops, special operations and other uniformed personnel, according to the CIA. Since the start of the invasion, Russia has announced plans to increase the size of the armed forces to 1.5 million. The Russian Ministry of Defense has announced several rounds of conscription, including its regular fall conscription cycle on October 1.









  • Yes it is, it’s attacking the source for being Chinese.

    No, it’s attacking the source for being integral to propaganda arm of the CCP. I’d hope to see the same response to state-run media of any non-democratic country. It’s also not intending to discredit the news whatsoever, so it isn’t an ad hominem attack. They’re encouraging you to use more trustworthy sources.

    Suddenly the news is more real because a western source reports on it?

    No, this news is real regardless. There’s probably a post about it on 4chan; that doesn’t make 4chan a news source, either.

    Ironically people will think they’re immune to propaganda because they’ve been trained to automatically distrust non-western sources.

    There are countless well-trusted sources outside of the western world. They just don’t require a stamp of approval from their authoritarian government before they can publish.
