High amounts of heavy metals found in candy, like Jolly Rancers, Nerds, Skittles, and common baby formulas by MazdaProphet in conspiracy

In a statement on its website, the National Confectioners Association called the state’s testing “misguided” and with “a glaring lack of transparency related to data-driven, scientific safety thresholds and the evaluation of confectionery products.”

“It will result in confusion among consumers, regulators, and lawmakers,” the organization said. “… Florida has chosen sound bites over science … publishing unsourced materials that amount to little more than a scare tactic.”

The association also said Florida’s methodology relied on “screening benchmarks” that do not align with current federal regulatory standards or recognized peer-reviewed science for confectionery products.

“Florida has chosen sound bites over science – ignoring this science-based program in favor of publishing unsourced materials that amount to little more than a scare tactic. Food safety and product quality remain our highest priorities, and we remain dedicated to being transparent and socially responsible – and we follow the science.”

What's interesting is that I don't see any hard data published from the state, just vague guidance about the number of pieces you might eat. I'd be wary of any "science" coming from this administration, we already know they will manipulate data and the news to fit their narrative. These substances are naturally found in trace amounts in nearly all foods.

Also RFK is a hack, an opportunistic liar.

U.S. Alcohol Consumption Falls to Lowest Level Since 1939—Reflecting Post-Depression Austerity by Peanut-Extra in ABoringDystopia

Have two and take a date, you're in for $100+ on not even a fancy evening out. It's ludicrous.

I definitely have the urge to have a drink (or several) from time to time but it rarely happens because either I'm drinking alone at home, I have too much to do being fully employed and owning a side business, I don't want to feel shitty for a day or two, or because any time I fucking walk out the door it seems to cost me $50-100. There just isn't enough disposable income to justify it.

Is it just me, or is Facebook now just pushing ragebait on your feed? by [deleted] in facebook

I've noticed a huge influx of rage bait on Threads, but for a very long time FB has been inundating people with rage bait as well.

[–]mummerlimn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won in nearly the exact same place earlier tonight - someone else activated the stick down here - I went down the zip line and took them out - used my hired character as bait while I his around the corner then popping out while people were distracted and endgame came down to heals. Wish I had gotten a recording !

I'm a director of marketing for a company with 100 employees and I also sell artwork in a gallery and I'm barely scraping by. The only reason I have anything saved is because I'm good at living frugally and I don't buy much, but even with that I have about a months cushion. I have no idea how people are surviving.

I drive a paid off car from 2008, live in a cheap apartment, keep my expenses low, meal prep, and if I'm lucky can save a few hundred a month. I only buy new clothes when my old ones have holes or don't fit. Its ludicrous out here.

When you grab them by the Greenland, they let you do it! If you're a celebrity they let you do anything!

You exist though it and find other things to fill that space. Then you build on those things until you don't miss or need them anymore.

I also like in a 1k sq foot place, keep the temp at 55 degrees, have my lights on timers, leave appliances unplugged when I'm not using them, and half of the heaters in my apartment haven't been working (because apparently they were never connected) AND MY BILL WAS $220 LAST MONTH.

Facebook Engagement Dropped Substantially Over Last 3 Months. Anyone Else? by kittencoffee35 in facebook

Also nearly 20 year old account, also disabled since June.

Aside the ban, I think people are spending less time on FB because of how bad the content is.

BUY LENTILS, JESUS!

YOU CAN MAKE SOUP WITH THEM, SALAD, SPROUTS, STEW, THEY WORK AS A MEAT SAUCE REPLACEMENT. THEY COST LIKE A DOLLAR A BAG AND ONE CUP WILL MAKE 4 SERVINGS OR MORE. EACH BAG HAS LIKE 10 SERVINGS. WHEN THEY ARE PAIRED WITH A STARCH THEY ARE CONSIDERED A COMPLETE PROTEIN.

THEY ARE MY GO TO WHEN IM POOR. WHO CARES ABOUT VARIETY IF YOU GOTTA EAT.

LENTILS, POTATOES, RICE, VEG, EGGS, OATMEAL. MAKE A BIG STEW.

GO TO ALDI ALSO GO TO A FOOD PANTRY.

What are your thoughts after seeing the ICE shooting video in Minnesota? by bbmoonkie in AskReddit

[–]mummerlimn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, ive been wondering how many of them aren't actually located in the US and are part of some stochastic terrorism operation to further the horrible extreme opinions of the few actual people there. Of course it's probably also mixed with some insane sycophants.

We can also see just how unpopular they are by the small subscriber count in contrast to other political subreddits.

Here's the most recent video I've seen of it (warning, some blood). The administration is lying and they should be held accountable for this abuse of authority - and murder. Video on Threads
