“You seem deeply upset”

nope I forget you’re here until you comment again and I have to correct you all over again.

correcting people is fun for me, so this isn’t particularly upsetting.

“your opinion”

not my opinion, dozens of accurate numbers from two articles, one of those many numbers in one of those articles you have picked out to focus on.

One of the articles overestimated a budget by 100 million, four instead of three, that’s not going to bother me too much.

you seem deeply upset by one source’s overestimate.

“that number seems preposterous…a totally bogus number detached from reality…”

yeah who the heck could write four instead of three?

how could anyone make that mistake? they must be nuts!

adding one number in hundreds of millions of dollars of asset valuation?

how could that even happen?

guess we’ll never know…

“giving some sort of response…”

you keep whining about receiving a response (desperate), but you still haven’t asked a question.

do you know how responses work? (that was a question. see the curly thing at the end? there’s another!)

go ahead, check your comment. not a single question, you’re just rehashing you’re earlier mistakes I have to correct all over again.

which is fun.

I’m down.

yeah, anecdotally people use all kinds of oils, mct oil among them, coconut oil is just the most popular. I think people like it because it’s so easy to get organic, one ingredient coconut oil for cheap

so they discovered that the algorithm loves one thing.

more than? how?

The apple shape is pretty indicative for me.

aren’t you tired of being a liberal?

don’t you want to be a liberal who doesn’t understand the point of politics?

free your mind from pesky knowledge and political context, all it does is get in the way of forming autocratic groups and exploiting the people around you!

judging by your username, you share certain similarities with Bruce Willis.

and he seems to forget who he is these days, so yeah you might actually be Bruce Willis.

no, I’ve never heard covid victims called “those left behind”, that is a rather morbid bit of prose from your part of the world.

this video convinced me that oil pulling is antimicrobial even though the professed conclusion of the video, as espoused by the dentist working with the YouTuber, is that oil pulling doesn’t work, even though there are less bacteria present after the oil pulling.

before oil pulling: every squiggly purple line inside the empty spaces is a separate spirochete.

I counted well over a dozen spirochetes wiggling around before the oil pulling.

it zooms in on one little corridor near the end of the “before” microscope analysis, and in just that one little corridor, you can plainly see half a dozen spirochetes wiggling together.

after The oil pulling:

there’s very clearly only one in the entire slide, and the dentist mentions this specifically, but says since there are any spirochetes at all, there’s no difference before and after.

after the oil pulling with that on screen, the dentist specifically says “there’s no such thing as one mouse” while examining the patient after oil pulling, so you know he’s looking at one spirochete on screen, and you can also plainly only see one on screen, while before the oil pulling, the dentist videos are full of spirochetes, zoomed in or out.

by what you can count on screen before and after, there are more than 90% fewer bacteria found after the oil pulling, so it seems like oil pulling works for gum disease, at least for this patient.

I’d love to see more studies on this.

or a follow-up to that video.

you don’t have to use a lot, like 1 tbsp is fine, and then you just swish it around.

it’ll be pretty difficult to keep tge oil inside your mouth while brushing, but I don’t see why you can’t try it out, who knows?

since there aren’t a lot of scientific studies, there aren’t a lot of dogmatically proven methods, so you could be the first!

in fact, if it works, tell me, because I am going to start oil pulling again because I was very encouraged by the results and after the first couple times it doesn’t even feel that gross, it’s just a routine thing like brushing your teeth in the morning.

and I was kind of lacking days ago about it, so I think I’m going to do mornings and evenings and just try and really see a difference.

I’m a fingerist.

no…no I don’t like that word.

a digitist.

less upsetting.

“bad faith”?

I’m responding directly to your questions and quotes with factual information and course-correcting your tangents, implications and assumptions.

that’s not bad faith.

“you’re…calling someone saying “smile more” literal rape”

nope, you are making that up.

or making a connection that isn’t there.

“you do you”

i do!

“rape isn’t as bad when women do it”

this is literally your argument for why women shouldn’t be upset about sexual assault.

because it didn’t bother you when women “raped” you.

If it makes you upset, don’t make that argument.

I couldn’t answer about the coconut milk. you mean the thick opaque milk, right, not coconut water?

it’s specifically swishing around the coconut oil for 5 to 15 minutes everyday that people say leaches out the yellow color, but I haven’t heard anything about the cumulative effect of long-term coconut milk drinking.

I’ll add that most YouTube dentists say that oil pulling doesn’t work, but they all specifically mention that it can’t work because there are not enough scientific studies on it, which isn’t a great argument.

and after meeting a few people who have done it and seeing their teeth gradually whiten to movie-star white, plus my own very debatable 1-2 shade whiter after a couple months, I’m convinced that it does work on some level.

especially because the people I know are hippies who would never go to the dentist or whatever, so I doubt they got their teeth whitened artificially.

for it, it’s not a requirement.

oil pulling is specifically for people who want to whiten their teeth, not for everybody who drinks coffee.

it is puzzling. what are your theories?

I have been convinced oil pulling, swishing coconut oil around in your mouth(there’s a few recommended oils) works by people in the real world I know who have done it and it worked for them, although I did it for 3 months and I believe I noticed a small difference but I didn’t keep it up.

as far as regularly consumed food or drinks, no, not that I know of.

If it’s just for compatibility’s sake, I haven’t had any problem uploading any images in any format I’ve tried to Lemmy so far, and I upload a lot here, so I don’t think you’re going to have any trouble there.

If that’s your only concern, I don’t think you have much to lose by trying to upload stuff and then seeing how it goes.

“how about…let others have their own feelings on what happens to them?”

because you’re attempting to speak for others by replying with your own offensive, not-credible a anecdotes.

you’re doing exactly what you’re complaining about.

nobody cares if you like pretending that rape wouldn’t bother you or being constantly sexually assaulted wouldn’t bother you, that’s not what this thread is about.

it’s not some imaginary thought experiment about you or for you to project your own very different circumstances onto.

this is about real women who don’t like being sexually assaulted and raped, and you’re implying through your unbelievable stories about how rape is fine for you and then imagining hypothetical situations where you have no ill will toward the potential rapists assaulting you constantly, which is ridiculous and offensive.

you are being called out because you sound like you’re making everything up, and even if you somehow aren’t, your own feelings immaterial to this topic or other people who have this happen to them in completely different circumstances than your stories.

fine, you want to believe you like rape. that doesn’t mean other people should be raped because you like it.

you’re narcissistically making a completely different situation concerning different people about yourself and how you would be fine within awful circumstances, which is simply not credible and offensive.

also, you’re(likely) pretending that you were raped by women, this is about being assaulted and raped by men.

put your orifices on the imaginary line there and see if you still feel the same about your rape fantasy.

but after you do that, keep it to yourself because I don’t care and nobody in the real world cares about your fantasies, those are for you.

this practical topic is not for you to share your fantasies or your narcissistic dismissals of real life sexual harassment.

I’m not sure what you’re asking, you mean if you use a copyrighted image and tweak it slightly?

or like drawing Mario and you’re worried Nintendo is going to sue?

is it just fan art?

in all those cases, yes, uploading to a different site and then posting the link here would remove the instance one separation from liability.

i tried to find its origin but it’s everywhere going way back, and it’s the thumbnail for a video, like a video compilation, but the video isn’t it.

all of that rings untrue, and if it is true; it’s clear that you are not understanding or empathizing with any perspective other than your own, you’re only looking at it through your own understanding of the world, which by what you’ve written is extremely limited.

of course the situation feels different to you from your perspective, you are living in a different situation in different circumstances.

in your imagination land, sexual assault is a compliment.

If you talk to women, they view sexual assault as an assault.

they view sexual harassment as offensive and unwelcome, not as your imaginary compliment.

get out of your own head, this is not about you.

oh, got it. what’s it originally from? I mean when you say ancient, what do you mean?

thanks

I haven’t seen it before, so I assumed.
