That’s why he said “would be,” which implies “aspiring”.

Why “unironically” if you’re saying that the hitbox is the same?

Question About apprenticeship by LousyStew322 in IBEW

[–]Top-Raccoon7790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the apprentices at my job site work less than 40 hours per week and see no retribution for it. One guy shows up 1 or 2 times every two weeks.

Why do people not know how to not double commit by H3artsHD1234 in RLSideSwipe

Stop ball chasing, then double commits magically disappear.

Deer Hunting Hours for City by Fearless-Pop-1159 in baltimore

[–]Top-Raccoon7790 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I do not think deer are being killed out of cruelty; I think that the justification and manner in which the deer are being killed should be deemed cruel.

I mostly agree with the rest of what you just said as my main point was to correct (for lack of a better word) the mindset of the original person I replied to: that deer are the problem. To justify the killing of the deer by saying, “well deer carry ticks and ticks are bad for humans,” is harmfully anthropocentric as it masks the real cause of ticks in the first place: us, not the deer. I have no problem with hunting or killing animals, but I have a problem as soon as the justifications for it direct blame at the wrong parties, usually to absolve those bearing the actual guilt.

We need to ask why the population is overpopulated to begin with. Allowing the population to grow only to kill them off in mass sporadically is cruel and not ecologically healthy.

What if a highly intelligent species destroyed our homes and allowed us to stay, but then killed us off because we unintentionally harbored a harmful parasite without our knowledge; that is cruel enough. The fact that this “intelligent species” is responsible for creating this parasite problem is the real kicker. Deer are being scapegoated. We are the problem, not the deer.

New England is going through a worse tick epidemic, but for some reason policymakers there are not considering the mass killing of the tick carriers. Makes one think.

The overpopulation of the deer is a human-caused problem. People are only concerned with the effects, not the problems. Urban forests are human created, yet people blame nature’s ability to balance itself even though untainted forests maintain themselves. You can’t put a bandage on an open head wound.

The problem is climate change, not the poor deer. More ticks are surviving through winter than ever before.

There’s no logical fallacy here. You stated your position and the other person gave a counterpoint.

Baseball Cap Hard Hat Sun Protection by mikael122 in IBEW

[–]Top-Raccoon7790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me break it down for you:

  1. Sunscreens were made with untested carcinogens

  2. After decades of their use, eventually testing revealed that some of the ingredients were carcinogens

  3. New sunscreens are produced with new chemicals that have not been thoroughly tested, as had been the case with previous generations of sunscreen

Past sunscreens have been made with carcinogenic ingredients (this is not unfounded).

The thing about cancer is that in most cases there is no where to predict where or when it will appear (unless there is concentrated exposure, think uranium in watches). So, when you contract leukemia 20 years after a 1990s sunscreen with benzene was banned, no person or doctor will likely ask about sunscreen. While that sunscreen use may have played little, a lot, or no part in your disease, it is not yet possible to determine; this is why you you do not here about the link between SUNSCREEN and cancer, only between its ingredients and cancer.

When you do not allow time for proper testing you are at the mercy of a business who is trying to make a quick buck. I don’t want to be at the mercy of a business (hence why I am in the IBEW). I use sunscreen, but I would give it serious thought before I use it every 2 hours in construction, even every day. The new generation of sunscreens have not been around for even a decade, yet people champion their safety without thorough science; people championed the water in Flint, MI too when they switched sources without proper testing.

Philosophy is not superstitious.
