The whole seed oil thing isnt that much of a conspiracy as it is completely blown out of proportion.

The core of it boils down to: An imbalance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids causes and/or worsens inflammatory conditions. Seed oils (sunflower, canola, peanut, soy bean), especially the highly refined varieties, typically contain was more O-6 than O-3 fatty acids. So, if you stop your brain there "seed oils bad, use olive, avocado or (as our chronically online right wing twitter users probably prefer) non vegetarian or vegan fats like butter or tallow".

This however ignores and oversimplifies things massively. First of all, the balance between fatty acids is just one factor for inflammations. Secondly, hardly anybody consumes only one type of oil exclusively and especially not necessarily in the relevant amounts. Fried your mushrooms in canola and added them to a salad dressed in olive oil? Shouldnt be a problem.

The real issue that doctors warned against was the amount of (seed) oils hidden in already highly processed foods - every type of fat is replaced by a cheap, neutral tasting oil, most often canola, sunflower or soy bean oil.

An extinguisher that can actually handle Lithium fires though. A regular CO2 extinguisher wont do anything against burning Lithium

Programming is quite literally creative problem solving, so I doubt that programmers lack creativity.

This picture only shows that both of these cars have lights, a rear window and possibly rear wheels. Also they are both red

So you mean you are a dedicated tool?

Counterpoint: be consequential and go from most generic to most specific with year-month-day.

If something is obviously in the current year, just leave the year part.

Disabled nsfw for now, before that I tried blocking all the creepy celebrity-communities. There's one for every third rate female celeb under the sun and the guys posting there are spamming every picture with a hint of cleavage or leg.

There might be some good deals, but since it'd involve shopping at Bezos', I'd try to avoid it nonetheless
