Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

"Don't take vaccines, they have weird chemicals in them and might not be tested long enough to know the true impacts"...

Meanwhile...

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

Who is going to tell him most vaccines are peptides?

Gonna laugh my ass off so hard when some voodoo shit he pushes actually does cause autism

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

More likely cancer, but yeah.

[–] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I dunno, I think I'm at the point where I'd only be mildly surprised if they started pushing thalidomide again

Oh shit, I'd forgotten about that.

I'll upgrade my answer from cancer to horrific birth defects.

The problem with injecting random peptides is triggering an auto immune response.

This happened to Bryan Johnson, and he will eventually die from this.

That article doesn't mention peptides at all, nor links then to AIG.

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Or that shit they added to cow feed that killed and or injured all those people some decades back. Then tired to hide it as a researcher figured it out. Edit: it transferred to the milk.

It won't...

But a lot of them (especially the steroid ones) imitate teatorone and other natural hormones.

They're literally on gender affirming therapy.

Keep in mind that he is an expert in this area because he used to snort coke off of toilet seats.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And he collects raccoon penises.

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 3 points 2 weeks ago

That is normal.

peptide antigen injection ❌️
peptide agonist injection ✅️

Eat some more roadkill and hopefully the worms will rid us of you.

Someone just gave me a huge bag of collagen peptides, been meaning to look it up.

There are cool peptides, tree frog toxins are peptides and many are pretty sweet. One with a super opiate, albeit short acting, in S. American deserts, one in russia with antibiotic action, one with hiv drugs in the carribean or something. I forget some of the others.

Obviously these ones sold by these marketers and influencers are going to be almost all bullshit, presumably.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

One with a super opiate, albeit short acting, in S. American deserts

super painkilling, super breathing impairing, both?

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I don't believe so, it is the waxy monkey tree frog, Paul Simon references it in "girls with a necklace of tears," and around 2010 horseracers in the NE US got caught doping their horses with it, as they are always at the forefront of trying out new and exciting drugs. The article I read said regulators were "hopping mad," about it.

They used to be available on order. I think they need dry air if I recall and it's super humid, and cold, where I'm at so I didn't order any.

I feel a little different about MGM, it's a full agonist, capable of delivering overdose respiratory inhibition, and WAY more euphoric than even 7. I'm partially accepting of the 100/1 mit to 7 ratio, sort of the way Canadians get Tylenol 1, because 300mit/3 7oh is a useful enough dose. But when I tried MGM, psuedo, idk if those are anything besides recreational drugs, and unfortunately we can't have those. It's just too easy to argue that it has no medical value when 7 is right there and technically exists in nature.
