They probably should question them. Even something as seemingly benign as Paracetamol is not without its issues if used too often, or after alcohol. It can do serious harm. Most medicine can.

Another fun medicine fact. Australia banned the sale of pseudoephedrine from store shelves quite some years ago to try and reduce domestic amphetamine production. Ever since, all of the major pharma brands have sold phenylephrine based cold and flu medicine as a replacement. Our Therapeutic Goods Administration recently found that this preparation is no better than placebo. We’re talking about a billion dollar industry that has been knowingly selling snake oil for ten years.

I guess what I’m saying is a healthy dose of skepticism and knowledge seeking should be applied to anything you are putting in your body or exchanging money for. The pharmaceutical industry are not saints. They’re just as driven by profit incentives as every other business.

The way that he talked about spending 100, 200, 300, 400, even $500 of staff time on re-testing not being an option, when he rakes in THOUSANDS per video is pretty illustrative of where his head is at.

I was pretty excited when Linus announced that he was stepping aside, but he clearly still has way too much say on the direction of LMG and his motivations are entirely too obvious. Go away, Linus. We’ve had enough of you.

Can’t speak for OP but where I live it’s downright dangerous and often impossible. Single lane in each direction, no overtaking lanes to speak of.

I find the arrogance of RV drivers with 40 cars behind them refusing to pull over and let everyone pass to be one of the most illustrative aspects of the boomer mentality. I want them to die so bad.

It’s not just common, it’s the entire basis of the platform.

Every dumb fucking talking point they want their users to regurgitate in the real world goes to the moon. Speak the truth and be silenced.

It’s a nightmare platform.

It was fine. Thanks.

They went easy on you. Some overzealous mod permabanned my entire account for talking about Lemmy. Allegedly against their ‘content guidelines’

Can you please ban me for 5 days so that I know what it looks like on this platform?

What an absolute legend. Also, I do so solemnly swear that any instance caught federating with meta is going straight in my hosts file.

You have been warned.

Seems like a fair and reasonable response to a cartoon.

The religion of peace strikes again.
