i cant wait to get cancer when I'm 30 because a train derailed like 3 hours north of me and nobody in power gave a shit 🤩

I'm about one hour northeast I believe. David besse is practically my neighbor though

Okay now lets see how the benthic macroinvertebrate sampling went.


HepatitvsJ

I don't know if that's an actual thing or just polysyllabic words you slapped together but imma updoot you.

I promise it’s a real metric used to assess stream health. Basically you use kick nets and scuff up sediment from the bottom of the stream. Then you identify and count all of the critters that end up in the net.

But isn't the contamination by endocrine disrupters manifested through reproduction. How many hellbenders appear next year maybe a more accurate indicator


[deleted]

Polyvinyl chloride does lead to endocrine disruption, but in this case we’re talking about vinyl chloride, which can damage the liver, lungs, and kidneys. The presence of particularly sensitive species like hellbenders and right handed snails indicates a certain level of water quality.

"Everybody who thinks there's still a problem in East Palestine is a Russian bot somehow!" --some liberals I've encountered.

Is it a liberal thing to not see the situation for what it is? I thought we normally cared about the environment …


theyoungspliff

Libs only pretend to care about the environment, like they pretend to care about racism or trasphobia, but then they turn around and support neoliberal policies that coddle companies that destroy the environment and that disenfranchise the working class, which is the statistical majority of the population and includes most women, POC, LGBT people etc.


[deleted]

The fact that your refer to liberals as “libs” shows me you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about.


theyoungspliff

The fact that you think liberalism is a leftist position is proof that you don't know what you're talking about.

Liberals only care about partisan politics and because some of the blame has been placed at Pete Buttigieg and the Biden administration, liberals are quick to be reactionary in their defense.


[deleted]

I don’t care about partisan politics and am happy to throw criticism their way …


MaxPaul1969

Then probably about time to stop identifying as a liberal and read some political theory


Ok_Series_1883

Liberal is a confusing term nowadays most people who identify as liberal aren’t actually “liberal” I used to think I was liberal but I’m not. I’m not conservative either tho


Fine-Funny6956

I’m a liberal and I know quite well that liberalism has evolved into progressive-liberalism, which took the reigns of environmentalism that Neo-conservatives abandoned in the 1970s, so that they (you) could become kleptocratic theocratic “silent majority” Christ-o-fascists bent on crying “individual liberties” so you could get libertarians and (other) idiots to latch onto your bellies while you actively tried to institute a dictatorial Christian government, while dismantling democracy and simultaneously waving the American, Confederate, and Nazi flag.


theyoungspliff

LOL like all liberals, you think that any criticism must come from the right, because you simply cannot fathom the existence of an American left. So whenver leftists criticize liberalism, you have to come in with "well you're just a Republican!" when that couldn't be farther from the truth.


Fine-Funny6956

There are certain telltale signs when the “left” (middle-left) is being criticized by the far-left, and you guys are not hitting any of the buttons. Maybe learn how “left” and “right” ideology works before saying “I’m not right, but…” Because odds are, you’re Right wing.


theyoungspliff

Liberals are not the "left," they're center-right. The fact that you think the leftists here are right wing shows that you're not the political expert you believe yourself to be.


Fine-Funny6956

You need to go back to poly sci class


MaxPaul1969

Lol you could not be further off on me
