  • ho-ly shit. this was a good read and it damn well predicted where we are almost 9 years on. 2 things that stuck out

    1. “It’s not like I’m predicting that airliners will fly slower and Nazis will take over the United States, is it?”
      this one… just like, reading it was like oh boy little do you know.

    2. “It might be Facebook or Twitter messages optimized to produce outrage, or it could be porn generated by AI to appeal to kinks you aren’t even consciously aware of.” This one really hit the nail on the head. Whether its boomers on Facebook watching fake baby interviews, or everyone else on Reddit and TikTok falling for rage bait (and the gooners on X). Just… man. Why don’t people get off their asses and fucking do something about this stuff? Why didnt they? I try to vote, and call local electives, participate in my community and keep people informed but Jesus. i dont know where we’ll end up by 2036 if we aren’t enslaved by that point.








  • There are other sources but the reason I linked corelle directly is because they admit that pre-2000s plates have trace lead amounts. They use weasel wording sure, but it says it.

    Are Corelle® products lead-free?

    … Corelle was first introduced by Corning over 50 years ago and in 2000 started to be manufactured by the company known today as Instant Brands.

    … Before 2000, and before tighter lead content safety regulations, a small amount of lead was an ingredient in the decorating process of many household products.

    There are other sources, but most of them are websites ive never heard of. Figured corelle was the easiest source to link. Ill point you towards this one because its closer to what I stated and remembered happening I almost wonder if corell has changed their FAQ because i remember it being more specific at one point in time.
