DDT doesn’t cause cancer. https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/clusters/fallon/ddtfaq.htm

“Workers heavily exposed to DDT have not had more cancer than workers not exposed to DDT.”

Has anyone made the argument that new atheism was a forerunner of woke? A lot of the new atheist schtick was arrogantly poking into people’s customary beliefs and identities and maligning them as the root of all evil

The novice says "it would be amazing if X could do Y", while the master says "all I need is for X to do x'"

I don’t know how to tell you that if you really care about people you should stop being extremely online and go talk to your damn neighbor.

Hunting pest rats to kill them, hunting rabbits for meat, hunting foxes for furs and hunting unicorns for magic parts are very different games for very different players
