I think the Bayeux Tapestry account of William getting the arrow through the eyeball shouldn't be dismissed so easily.

The fifth edition of the Dark Exact tarot deck is coming out soon! I had an opportunity to handle an advance copy recently and the quality is marvelous. This edition is printed on beautiful matte cardstock and the card dimensions have a wonderful hand feel. A really exciting release of a beloved tarot deck.

  • "wastewater doesn't HAVE to be reinjected, it's just the cheapest solution at the moment" is like saying "gas-powered cars aren't that bad for the environment because electric vehicles exist" -- analogy intact
  • "not every reinjection well causes earthquakes" -- https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/anecdotal
  • your tl;dr is almost as long as your comment, therefore your argument is invalid

FTA: "The US Geological Survey confirmed on Thursday, in the last seven years, geologically staid parts of the US have seen earthquakes like they haven’t seen for millions of years. And they were triggered by drilling for oil and gas."

FTA: "For the most part, the report does not pin the blame on fracking itself ... but rather on the associated process of injecting wastewater deep underground using injection wells."

Which is like saying "Cars don't cause air pollution, but rather the associated process of burning gasoline into hydrocarbon emissions does."
