There's a personality type that enjoys abusing power over others and deals with shame (usually due to a strict religious upbringing) by deflecting what shames them most on others to prove they couldn't possibly be one of "those" demonized Bad People.

Science geek here. Bangs head on table and then screams into the void, “Organic by definition means something with carbon in it! Which means that H2O (2 hydrogens one oxygen) can never be organic!” Steps off soap box.

So if you hold up a bottle of water and claim it’s organic and therefore free of chemicals, you aren’t holding water alone. And if we ever see chemically free water? That better be an empty bottle.

So what is organic?

Organic pertains to living matter scientifically. In agriculture it pertains to chemicals or artificial ingredients not being used in growth or process.

Water does not grow. Water is not living matter. Water is its own thing from two compounds that are

CHEMICAL ELEMENTS.

If bottled water is labeled organic it’s because of additives being organic. Such as lemon.

I feel like there’s a lot of water nuts kinda getting screwed by the bottled water industry here.

Water cannot be organic because it does not contain carbon.

It isn’t organic water just because it doesn’t have additives or pollutants such as pesticides. Water can scientifically never be organic.

They know something real is making their lives hard.

It's easier to blame trans ppl, or immigrants, or Black ppl than to accept that whiteness is inherently violent and that capitalism is killing us all.

They want to think of themselves as good and pure and they can't if they accept the truth.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Negotiations require two sides. Johnson & Co. are like “my way or the highway”. The republicans are playing with people’s lives, and their lack of empathy is on full display.

Trump’s doctor says his latest physical shows phenomenal cardiac health. His only problems are obesity, black hands, fluid build up in his lower legs, extreme difficulty climbing stairs, and a diet of constant fast food.
