well you might just slowly brush away your enamel

I just meant some big name brand toothpastes being very abrasive to (imo) a point of detriment

Last year I learned from independent consumer product testing agencies that at least here in germany the best dental care is provided using the most basic and cheap toothpaste from discounter chains, so now I use those. So much cheaper, so much more toothpaste in the tube and actually doesn't secretly fuck your teeth up.

A measurement from the human rights campaign (hrc.org) it looks like. I assume it's a survey where lgbtq+ employees are kindly encouraged to answer "correctly" or they get mystery fired, but maybe the office jobs at Tesla were genuinely pretty good before elon came out as a nazi, who knows

EDIT: https://www.hrc.org/resources/corporations/tesla-inc. here are the current ratings, 55/100

That's just surprise seasoning

Well, shit.

National parks are kind of hard to monetize for VCs if private capital isn't allowed to own them

Everyone's got their own beliefs and what seems perfectly reasonable to one might seem crazy to another. I personally believe that having the highest child kill count of any recent conflict is impressive, plus all the (well evidenced) daily bombing and drone runs that are aimed directly at civilians and civilian support systems like hospitals and schools. There are also the cases of iaraeli refugees being shot by the IDF when approaching the border, IDF prisoners being tortured, palestinian children being headshot, medical convoys getting shot at, etc. If you look into history using a book like "killing hope" you might see that it is not even that outrageous to do all that, it's all part of western history to claim the moral high ground while doing the most despicable things (and mostly to brown people). I think nobody can justify any of that reasonably. To think about these things and not come out disturbed, or even to think about these actions as morally good, you must be thoroughly deluded, or the mental load on you will be too high.

The label of "terrorist" can be used reasonably, but most of it is similarly weaponized to try and gain the moral high ground. It really means challenging the status quo. Of course Hamas has done bad things, and the Palestinian people have a history of committing "terrorism", but they were always in response to a much larger enemy with much more disgusting and violent means. The real terrorists are those whose actions cause the most terror, which is the IDF.
