@mushroom_soup The cat is not mistaken. YOU are the real treat.
@Bad_Banner That looks like shit.

RIght... when they decide to issue arrest warrants for pretty much every leader of an Islamic state, a couple of African leaders, for Xi the Pooh, for Kim Jong Un, heck throw Putin into the mix too, then I'll start taking them seriously. Until then, every one of these international institutions can suck my hairy balls.
@smugumin That is a good point.
@grey She's still a woman, so it's hard to say what will happen. Women > men.
The crazy part about Pekora getting nominated by The Game Awards is that, depending on how the jury decides to interpret the DEI pyramid, she might actually have a chance of winning.
The sad part is that she probably deserves the award, but she's likely gonna receive it because she's an Asian woman, and not because the jury took the time to look at her work.

And how cheap are these treatments? Do you support these being offered as free healthcare (as in paid with your tax money)? Do you support these treatments becoming mandatory? (cause otherwise I foresee a lot of people not going to the dentist to get them, even if they're free).

> every dental product says DO NOT INGEST CALL POISON CONTROL.
That's because
1) toothpaste has other stuff in it besides fluoride, that are likely significantly more harmful
2) toothpaste has a higher concentration of fluoride than water does, so it's not as safe to ingest as tap water
3) it's their lawyer approved messaging so that they won't get sued if you do ingest toothpaste and get an unforeseen reaction.
In massive amounts, sure fluoride is gonna be bad, just like everything else. And I've heard it recommended by fluoride advocates that it's a good idea to look for unfluorided toothpaste for children, because tap water will already have plenty and if they accidentally ingest some toothpaste (which children are more likely to do), they could go into overdose zone. Though I think the child needs to be extra toothpaste hungry for it to actually have some effect. But it's one of those "better safe than sorry" situations.
As far as I'm concerned the fluoride fear is overblown. Worst case scenario, compare your tap water concentration to what other European countries are doing, and if you're an outlier with a much higher dose (I've heard some people say this is the case for USA), advocate for a reduction.

My main theory is that the people who reached 100 didn't spend their entire lives in polluted urban hellholes. How often do we see a centennial giving an interview from his New York flat, and how often do we see them give an interview from their house in a small town or village, in the middle of nowhere, in some place you've never heard of. I've seen cases where they don't even live in fully modernized areas. And it's almost a trope to hear them say "I've lived in this house my entire life".
I think we underestimate the stress of living in urban environments and the effects it has on our bodies.

inb4 your system becomes addicted to python.
@IcyGrillz The closest we'll ever get to an Episode 3.
@k1tteh From my understanding, the new update brings an option to restore some visual effects, like fire, to pre-Orange Box status. But I don't know if Alyx' eyes are a part of that.
@k1tteh
I assume you meant to say "fix". No clue. Haven't launched the update yet. I wasn't even aware there was a bug with her eyes. But there's a whole list of stuff they fixed, so who knows.
And if you actually meant to ask if they've foxed her eyes, I'm pretty sure they didn't.

If for some reasons you don't have it yet, you can get HL2 for free now. Oh, and the game now also includes the two episodes. So it's a 3-in-1 deal.
@PinochetsCommieCopter
It sounds like all parties involved fucked around and found out.
@matrix I hate that I understand the reference.
@matrix You might find this interesting.
