see, they always make the wrong argument. it boggles my mind how they're getting such shit legal advice.

the court doesn't even care if banning in-person services would create "irreparable harm", which is basically what it said. what the court cares about is if it's going to work or not. this is an administrative review case, not a constitutional challenge; the court needs to defer, but only to the point that it's rational.

so, does it make sense to ban drive-in churches? is that going to reduce case counts?

frankly, i actually think the drive-in thing was fairly innovative, and probably sufficient. while it's clear that religious services are one of the primary problems, and you'd have to be daft to go to a church right now if you're at all vulnerable to this, which most people that go to church regularly truly are, sitting in a parking lot is a different issue. even talking outside after is probably mostly safe.

i have no solidarity with christians. at all. but i think they would have won this if they had made the right argument.

no punk, no anarchist, no socialist, no leftist would stand with isis.

not for a second.

not even as an aborted thought.

so, go out and find these isis sympathizers.

label them as they are.

and treat them as they should be treated.

how it is that we've allowed a bunch of media savvy nazi-sympathizers to flip the situation over is beyond me, but it reveals something deeper about the population, something that needs to be seriously addressed.

if you're willing to see these women as victims, you need psychological help. and, if you don't recognize the threat that their children pose to the stability of the region, to the people in it that want freedom, than you're a fool - or worse. 

maybe, deep down, you're on their side.

it was true in the second world war that a large percentage of german-americans harbored nazi sympathies. and, it seems to be true today that a large number of americans have hidden sympathies with isis.

it's a scary realization that the enemy is here at home, as well.

and, i will say this again: if you stand with these war criminals, these nazis in kkk hoods, then that is what you are - an enabler, a sympathiser, a war criminal, yourself.

i've been over this before - i stand with the secularists in the region, the socialists, the atheists, the freethinkers, those that need to fight against religious tyranny and oppression in order to merely exist.

and, i stand with them to the end - as gruesome as it is.

they know what needs to be done.

they're a bunch of fucking nazis.

and, the only good nazi is a dead one.

maybe i should clarify a point.

i have indeed called for the bombing of isis "refugee" camps, and my attempts to defend the point have been censored and altered. i've even been accused of supporting genocide, which is a preposterous position that distorts truth and reality to absurd extremes.

to begin with, i reject the claim that these people are refugees - they are war criminals. so, we need to begin with that difference in definition. i reject the premise that they're civilians; they're combatants. i'm consequently not calling for the bombing of civilian women and children, as some would claim, but for the bombing of enemy encampments.

and, i would show them no mercy - as they would show us none. they don't deserve any mercy - they need to be wiped off the face of the planet.

second of all, i'm not calling for the extermination of an entire people, i'm calling for the elimination of a group of war criminals. and, what are the crimes of these people? in fact, these people are themselves guilty of genocide, and genocide against the people in the region. not only am i not calling for the extermination of syrian or iranian or kurdish people, but i'm calling for the extermination of a group that would exterminate them. to equate this with genocide is beyond a false equivalency, it's ridiculous.

i've continually made comparisons between fundamentalist islam and nazism, and think those comparisons are well rooted and deeply grounded. did we show mercy to the nazis? no - we obliterated them. and, did we accuse those who would wipe the nazis out of war crimes? did we accuse them of genocide? that's ridiculous.

i understand that my calls are in contravention of the geneva convention, but it is in the context of improper treatments of prisoners of war, and not in the context of improper treatment of civilians. they are not civilians, and cannot be seen as though they are - they are guilty of the most heinous crimes imaginable, and must be brought to justice by whatever means necessary.

and, the only conceivable option is to just wipe them out.

i will continue to call for the whole sale annihilation of these camps and the "people" that inhabit them, and will continue to call you a retard if you accuse me of supporting genocide over it.

this is potentially the last update to what is now a ridiculous oral care routine that i hope strengthens and reverse the decay.

- sleep in the early morning, if i have to.

every three months:

- fluoride varnish

and, if i'm using close to a gram with the sensodyne several times a day as well, and it's .104%

1*.00104 = 1 mg.

so, i should throw that in the spit bowl as well. why not. there's nothing scary in the ingredients list there, either. 

the internet really, honestly doesn't know how much toothpaste the average american uses per brushing.

that's hilarious.

so, i may have taken a few strong doses of fluoride. 

i'm ok.

i needed it, anyways.

ok, because i can't find any useful data about how much the average amount of toothpaste that people actually use weighs (rather than the amount you're "supposed to use" weighs), let's flip the question over - how much do i need to use to get to 4 g and actually produce a usable source of fluoride to put in my drinking water?

x*.005 = .004 <---> x = .004/.005 = .8 g.

so, 800 mg. i'm going to presume this is going to fill up the brush fairly well.

there's 37 ml in the tube, and it's probably around 50 g.

i'd definitely want to sip that over the day, not down it at once. the best thing to do is partition it into the water i'm drinking, anyways. that should effectively fluoridate my water.

so,

so, what are all the things i'm looking at?

- sleep in the early morning, if i have to.

every three months:

- fluoride varnish

i think that's solved. 

if i can hold to it.

or am i using more than that?

i'm getting widely divergent estimates. if a pea-sized amount is 25 mg, i'm using roughly 50 mg, which is only .05*.005 = .00025 g, in the end - half as much as a glass of water.

but, some estimates suggest that the average person uses as much as a gram of toothpaste at a time, which would be .005 g, or 5 mg, if i swallowed it directly. that's higher than the fda's rdi and could conceivably produce a reaction, for sure.

another number i've seen is 400 mg, which is .4*.005 = 0.002 g = 2 mg.

well, why don't i just take it in two doses, to be sure, until i can get a better measurement? i'm feeling something, and should ultimately react to that more than anything else....

my scale only measures in increments of a gram. so, i'm trying to find an average amount. like most people, i don't use a "pea-sized" amount - nobody does. i fill up the brush. and, no, i'm not reducing that - i need more fluoride not less. how much is that, actually?

it's proving surprisingly difficult to google. you'd think it'd be an easy answer, but google just wants to push down "expert knowledge" of how a bunch of people wish the world was, rather than how it actually is.

in the meantime, i found this lovely nugget:

this is from a 2013 document by colgate.

https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00021197.PDF

i've definitely been reacting to the fluoride, but i don't know what to think of it.

how much fluoride do i need to eat to get a basic glass of normal tap water?

at .7 ppm of 750 ml, using a 1:1 conversion ratio (it's actually a little less at room temperature), 750*0.0000007 = 0.000525 g. so, that's how much fluoride is in a cup of fluoridated water - a half a milligram. that means you'd need about 6-8 cups to get enough fluoride.

at 5000 ppm (.5%), how much fluoride do i need to get .000525 g? and the answer is

x*.005 = .000525 <---> x = .000525/.005 = .105.

that's 105 mg of high potency toothpaste just to get the amount of fluoride in a cup of water. and, while i'm having difficulty measuring how much i'm using, it's nowhere near that amount. it's maybe 50 mg - probably more like 25 mg.

why am i reacting to this, then? i'm feeling it in my eyes and in my chest. it's initially a feeling like i'm being stretched out, almost pulled apart, and then a feeling of contentment. so, am i feeling it depositing? or is it just in my head?

if it's less than tap water, am i actually reacting to a "deficiency"? will that fade over time?

it's reflective of what i've been saying for years - the democratic party is a fundamentally conservative party, and what it represents is a fundamentally conservative movement.

msnbc has long been the conservative mouthpiece of the country.

i guess it took staring an actual conservative party in the fact to see it and realize it.

i hate being tired like this all of the time and wish i knew what the culprit was so i could reverse it.

for now, i'm going to blame it on the edibles and swear off them entirely.
