@Eric_Conn The one good part of Mormon doctrine was their view on blacks, sad day.

@realannapaulina @SecRubio Now that you mention it, yeah he is the current SoS isn't he?

I genuinely believe @SecRubio will go down as one of the greatest Secretary of States in US history.

@SCHIZO_FREQ I think 99.999% of whites know you shouldn't enjoy the smoke of a treated wood bonfire and also cook on it lol.
English
Pressure-treated lumber is made by forcing a bunch of chemicals into ordinary lumber with high pressure. This helps it resist rot, termites, etc, so it's frequently done for wood that's going to be structural or exposed to the elements
Prior to 2003, about 80% of the pressure-treated lumber used in the United States was made with chromated copper arsenate, which contains arsenic
So if you have a deck made of this stuff, and then you demolish it and use it as fuel for a huge bonfire with all your friends where you cook 50lbs of meat, it is very possible that you will give everyone arsenic poisoning
If you suspect this has happened, you should call the poison control hotline. They will set you up with a 24-hour speciated urine test, which can determine the difference between inorganic arsenic from toxic lumber fumes and the slightly-less-toxic arsenic from seafood. This is apparently relevant to medical practicioners
If it's determined that you have arsenic poisoning, the hospital has 2 options
1) Do nothing, and just kind of sit there cheerleading you. (They actually do this in response to a shocking amount of conditions, and it's kind of wild we let them get away with charging people 25k a day for this)
2) Chelate the arsenic out of your bloodstream. This is basically taking a binder that will attach to the arsenic and make it easier for your body to excrete
Unfortunately, the commonly-used chelating agents bind to more things than just arsenic, so you'll wind up forcing your body to extrete a bunch of electrolytes or other useful minerals too, which feels pretty awful and can technically kill you if were to go full-retard on dosing
"Lukas, but why would I ever need or care about any of this information"
That's a fair point. I would have said the same thing 2 days ago

They actually believe blacks weren't allowed to vote until 1965.

@JoshuaLisec A white man going for a black woman is working some unkown angle.
A white woman going for a black man is just a retärded coalburner.

White men with black women is the LOWEST divorce rate.
But swap the race and gender, and you get the HIGHEST.
Interesting.
Grok@grok
The 2008 Bratter & King study (2002 NSFG data) found White husband/Black wife marriages had ~44% lower divorce hazard by year 10 vs White/White couples (after controls for age, education, etc.). White wife/Black husband pairings were over twice as likely to divorce. This specific pairing was notably stable among Black-White combos in older data. Sample sizes were small, data predates recent decades, and many factors drive divorce rates. Solid cite from your book research.

more than half of all adults read below a 6th grade level?!
how's this even possible
Athenaeum Book Club@athenaeumbc
54% of US adults (age 16-74) — roughly 130 million people — read below a 6th-grade level. Why is nobody talking about this? To fight back, we started an online book club to study the great texts of Western Civilization. If the collapse in reading is not addressed now, we risk losing everything. Every 4-6 weeks, we read a new great work together: we've covered texts like Homer's Iliad, Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, and Don Quixote. We're about to start reading The Brothers Karamazov. We are reading the great works slowly, intentionally, and in dialogue with each other. If you'd like to be part of this, please join our reading group. Consider a paid subscription if you'd like to support — it makes a HUGE difference to the time and resources we can dedicate. We are entirely funded by our members. You'll get: - Live book club discussions (biweekly) - Access to our incredible community chat - Essays to guide you through the Great Books - All past recordings, essays, and podcasts - Ability to vote on what we read next athenaeumbooks.com/welcome Welcome!

@_Link_ @EarlHarbinger42 Yes, it's well known that telling women to "calm down" works wonders and they respond well.
English
@EarlHarbinger42 I imagine it probably looks different from marriage to marriage and woman to woman.
One example would be your wife losing her emotional control and temper with you or one of the kids and you stepping in and telling her to calm down and to treat you/kids with love/respect.

The Trump administration just gutted the endangered-species-protection regime in the US.
He really is the human version of some kind of particularly horrible parasite.

JUST IN: The Pentagon has released a photo of Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, a 19-year-old U.S. soldier from Carrollton, Texas, who was killed during Iran's ballistic missile and drone attacks over the weekend.
Gonzales was supporting a U.S. mission against the Islamic State group when she was killed while helping defend against incoming Iranian strikes.
Her death comes as fighting across the Middle East continues to intensify.
U.S. forces launched their ninth consecutive night of counterstrikes against Iranian targets as the two nations continue to battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz.

@bilbosfootcomb Regardless of how you arrived there, at least you are on the right track questioning universal suffrage.
English
If you genuinely think deporting half of the population of the United States would lead to anything other than a second Great Depression you are either an actual child or so stupid it makes me seriously question my belief in universal suffrage
Mr. Reply Guy@GenericSnarky
You cannot begin to fathom how much better your life would be with 150 million deportations.

NEW: Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett details the chilling threats her family has faced, revealing the terrifying moment her 12-year-old son discovered a bulletproof vest in her bedroom during the fallout of the Dobbs leak.
Barrett also recounted a recent "swatting" incident at her home and receiving threatening anonymous deliveries, warning that while federal judges continue to do their jobs without fear or favor, the current threat level is "really high."
"I didn't expect that performing this service was going to put me in the position of explaining to my children what a bulletproof vest was, and why I had to wear one."

@StephenFleming Yeah kids these days amirite? Missing out on driving and socializing at the local mall that's either closed or overrun with non whites.

Yet another friend with a child turning 16 next week. Hasn’t gotten a learner’s permit. Zero interest in a driver’s license. I keep hearing this same story.
What’s WRONG with these kids?!?! On my 16th birthday, my mom took me out of school to take my driving test. Same for everyone I knew.
Even if you couldn’t afford your own car, you could beg the use of the family station wagon occasionally. Freedom. Independence. Heck, privacy on a date! Are these kids giving all that up for scrolling TikTok and an occasional Uber?
