Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Please tell me you aren’t one of those anti-fluoride people.
I just suggested putting a medicine in the water supply. Why would I be against putting a mineral in the water supply?
Well for starters, ozempic does have common adverse side effects. So that’s one major difference.
So does fluoride... It turns your teeth brown.
It's just that collectively, as a society, we decided that brown teeth are better than cavity riddled teeth.
So the intended effect's value outweighs the negative side effects.
Exactly like semaglutide.
Nope I am not engaging with this nonsense. Fluoride is perfectly safe in the water supply. Nobody batted an eye until the right latched onto it as another stupid culture war masking as concerns over personal health. Stop watching xXJoeFreedomXx videos and listen to health professionals. That’s all I’m saying on the matter and it’s for the benefit of onlookers more than you.
Have a good rest of your week.
Hey buddy... You're the one spouting damned nonsense.
I was attempting to help educate you.
Look it the fuck up.
I don't get my knowledge from YouTube and I suggest you stop trying to do so yourself.
You are being duped.
The brown spots are purely cosmetic and a minor trade off for the benefits.
Now I’m actually done. The fact that mom‘s for liberty is the biggest force behind this ridiculous “movement“ should indicate to you how bullshit it is.
That's exactly what the fuck I said... I literally never mentioned anything about it being "unsafe"... Only that it was one well known side effect of fluoride being in our water.
You're just not paying attention to what I said because you want to defend your silly position so badly.
FWIW, the most commonly known side effects of semaglutide aren't particularly dangerous either (and in fact, most are more temporary than brown teeth).

Stop muddying the waters for an internet gotcha moment. God what an asshole. Blocking
Do you need help figuring out how to find that block button?
