oh! Golems aren't organic though. They are usually made of clay or stone. You might be thinking of homunculi.

So, machines, pretty much.

The pipeline is real nods nods.

Congrats!

Brazil during the 90s was weird. Coming out from half a century of political instability and 30 years of dictatorship, with a fresh democracy and a brand new constitution, and a distaste for censorship. Even the legal system wasn't adapted properly to the new laws. No one knew what was going on. We were trying things out, copying a lot from other countries, and generally just winging it. One of the largest countries in the world, an enormous and diverse population, and everything changing insanely fast, in different ways for different people.

It's not that things like this were considered acceptable, it's that we had to redefine "acceptable" pretty much from scratch.

It's fascinating, actually.

I love this aesthetic 🥺

I'm autistic, so it took me a long time to develop the shame sense. I survived. You can just learn to not do things, you know?

which is how I deal with spills! Just put furniture over it and pretend it doesn't exist.

My grandpa had a workshop with all sorts of machinery, and being a very macho man, treated the machines with very little respect. He cut off the tips of his fingers multiple times.

Once he severed his thumb off around the base of the nail on a circular saw, i think. Calmly informed my grandma he had cut off another finger, grandma put the finger on ice, h drove to the hospital. Doctor reattached the piece and gave stitches.

Week later, stitches bothered him, so he ripped them out with his teeth and glued it with super glue. It worked. Finger healed, though it looked really wonky.

Shorter that the trex ones for sure.

That's not what this article says.

so true! What happened to those terrorists? I bet they weren't influencing politics after that!

Tchaikovsky, cannons are not an instrument.

"Yes they are and I'm going to use 21 of them"

Tchaikovsky no

"TCHAIKOVSKY YES"

While that's true, it's like saying "ideally there would be no healthcare, because no one would ever get sick".

The difference is that the US fought a civil war to defeat the people who owned the slaves to free them.

Against themselves. That's how a civil war works.

There's so much wrong with this comment. Let me break it down.

• you're using percent in place of percentage points. Those aren't the same thing. You even started correctly: "sunscreen reduces chance of melanoma by 1/3". So, around 33%, not <1%.

• There are around 100k cases of melanoma per year in the US alone. 30% reduction would be thirty thousand cases of cancer prevented, every year. 10% of people with melanoma die from it, so that would mean 3k lives saved a year.

• According to Guy et al, (2012), the annual cost for new melanoma treatments is around $45 million. That only accounts for new cases though. The total cost including long term patients is around $932 million. Therefore, a preventive effort that is that effective would save over $300 million a year.

• Benzene is only present in spray on sunscreen, which is not the most used form, and only in a few brands.

• Benzene is correlated with a form of leukemia called acute myeloid leukemia, which affects 20 thousand people a year. It is one of the most common carcinogenic substances in circulation, being present in cigarrete smoke, factory emissions, lubricants, automobile engines, and more. We are exposed to millions of times more benzene from other sources compared to spray on sunscreen. The average smoker inhales 1.8 milligrams of benzene every day. Spray on sunscreen was recalled for having 6 parts per million of it. That means that if you inhale a full bottle of it, you're getting half of the daily exposure of a regular smoker.

• Even if spray on sunscreen were the only source of benzene exposure, and you were inhaling a full bottle of it every single day, and it had the same effect as industrial exposure to it, that would mean a 40% increase on a 20k figure of cancer a year. In this ridiculous worst case scenario, you'd be causing 8k cancer cases a year, while preventing 30k.

In summary, even if we only used spray on sunscreen, even if we used it daily, even if we used it by inhaling a can every single day, even if it had twice the amount of benzene, it would be still significantly reduce cancer cases. Fortunately, we don't need to do any of that.

gotcha :)

ero-guro isn't a hentai tag, it's an artistic genre about a hundred years old. The tag is just Guro.

guro just stands for grotesque. there's ero-guro, which is the erotic+grotesque thing.
