Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue. Always open to hear good-faith counter arguments. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

  • Like I said, I’m not for this ban. In my view what ever reason is used to ban TikTok should then apply to every other social media aswell. I don’t want the government to dictate which content I’m allowed to consume - I should be free to decide for myself. I simply don’t view this issue thru the lens of free speech.

    It’s similar to banning porn. While it’s objectively bad for you, so is drinking gasoline and that’s not illegal either. If you want to drink gasoline you should be allowed to.




  • So other than destroying your teeth, it sounds like the conclusion here is more or less that being overweight is unhealthy and overweight people tend to drink sugary drinks. It’s just empty calories. If you’re naturally lean despite drinking sugar-sweetened drinks then the negative health effects of it are probably significantly lower.

    Personally, I just tend to consume mostly artificially sweetened drinks. It takes the edge off when I desire something sweet and to get any significant negative health effects from aspartamine you’d need to be consuming insane amounts of it.
