Hello, my name is Cris. :)
I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff
Yeah, direct health impact aside they’re still disposable products that poison our water to manufacture, and poison the people who make them.
Like thats profoundly awful, one really doesn’t need any more reason to avoid them, that’s a very reasonable choice
Not who you replied to, but thank you, I misread the quote initially
This is a great thread, thank you so much for posting! I’m excited to go look at all these sources!
Thank you for the additional info, I will have to look into that at some point :)
From what I understand the risk associated with Teflon pans is mostly with manufacturing with them, and the chemicals affecting manufacturing workers and getting in waterways, not cooking and eating from them.
The risk from heating them up is generally considered to be minor, and an uncommon accute risk, rather than something that happens regularly and that affects long term health. Adam ragusea did a very well reseached video on the subject where he spoke to experts about where the risks do and don’t lie (actually it looks like he’s done two, this is the more recent one)
But do know that buying them facilitates their manufacture, and the impact on workers and the environment is pretty horrible.
The chemicals involved are often called “forever chemicals” because they basically never break down, meaning they’ll pretty much just accumulate for as long as we manufacture things with them, which includes A LOT of different products. Rain coats are often made with them, and aren’t supposed to shed pfas or pfoas, but evidently do anyway at alarming rates, and our water sources are already fairly contaminated. This video does a really good job of covering that side of the conversation about “forever chemicals”
Not entirely sure why you’re being downvoted to be honest.
Also not entirely sure I follow exactly what you mean, I think there are a couple ways that comment could be interpreted. But I don’t really see why folks are downvoting you 😅
It seems kinda appropriate to me. Somehow the republican party is the “patriotic” one, but they seem to be anti-democracy, anti-seperation of church and state, trump fucking hates folks who serve or served in the military, and they pay constant lip service to the Constitution, but in office Trump tear gassed peaceful American protesters practicing their freedom of speech and assembly.
I don’t think it’s a bad strategy to take the “patriotic” label from them, they sure as hell don’t deserve it.
I don’t know what ads you’re seeing, but basically every ad I see for Harris is about materially improving people’s lives 😅
Watch mojo presents: top ten reasons not to elect a fascist
I definitely am. Just voted today
Fuck yeah, congrats on the progress!
If you’re interested in photorealistic portraits, I recommend learning face geometry! It’s a super helpful starting point, and once you have a sense for it you can look at a face and see how it compares to the norm, which helps you recreate what makes it unique. Or if you’re drawing fictional faces, give each face defining structural characteristics that give them their own distinct feel
In these examples, your eyes look a little bit too high, and the forehead a little bit too small, which is an extraordinarily common mistake (assuming it’s not what you’re going for, in which case it wouldn’t be a mistake). The eyes actually sit at about halfway up/down the face, which intuitively feels way too low, so many folks place them a bit high.
That might be a intentional stylistic choice though, but even if you’re going for something stylized it can be helpful to know realism :)
These look fantastic! Sorry if this was advice that had already been given, I didn’t see the original thread. Keep up the great work! ❤️
Huh, learned something today, thanks for the explanation
Windows really do be like that
Not a phrase I could have expected to hear today, but here I am 😅. Milf inflation.
I really love something about the color of the bridge, the framing, and that typeface.
Thats a great photograph
We’re happy to have you! 😊
Damn, I hadn’t heard that, that’s actually really nice to hear!
Yeah, profit incentives have warped the world in a lot of not so pleasant ways, but man do you really feel it with journalism. Even when it’s good journalism or a compelling story :/
What a cute video idea. Not an Ubuntu user but seasonal theming sounds like fun
