It's the same way they cured COVID. Just stop testing for it and you'll have 0 reported cases.
I see nothing to contradict the idea that this administration's goal is to do the most morally abhorrent actions possible.
Seriously where is the next Luigi? I know you're out there, forget the school and it's bullies or the mall full of mindless drones, or any of you who are seriously considering taking your own life, if you're willing to do that then you're willing to do anything right? Don't be a villain, be a hero.
Be the change you wanna see in the world.
I don't have the means, they banned that here in 1997.
They only banned murder in 1997?
Guns. They disarmed the UK in 1997 and told us to "Keep calm and carry on."
Usually it's good advice to commit only one crime at a time, but in this case that might not be possible.
Heh, just was going to say I think this a lot too when I noticed it's you from that other thread we were just talking in. Yeah, the least someone could do if they're suicidal is take out an objectively evil person or two. I guess the problem is that if you're emotional enough to commit suicide, you're probably not thinking super clearly to begin with.
Yeah that's a hard one to parse, but is a clear level head in time of catastrophe considered sane? I mean if a fireman was screaming at me to get out of the burning house I wouldn't be like, "Jeez keep your voice down."
Yeah, I just mean that people who thinking fully rationally would normally not kill themselves unless they're in a lot of pain.
Describes every friend I had commit suicide.

Start donating plasma. You make money, help people, and get the PFAS filtered out of your blood all at the same time.
and get the PFAS filtered out of your blood all at the same time
How does that work, do you know?
Blood letting basically. You get all the good and bad out, but your body doesn't replace the plastic. So you're down X amount of blood internally but when you regenerate it via your bone marrow it's now your own body and not half human half barbie doll.
I'm no doctor so I can't delve any further but that's my basic understanding of the way it would maybe work. Like having a bucket of dirty water with a hole in it. Sure some good water gets out but a lot of dirt does too. Then it rains (replenishing lost blood) and dirt doesn't fall back into the bucket.
In plasma donation, you get the blood put back without the plasma, so I wouldnt count on it actually filtering out the pfas.
According to these guys the opposite is true.

Probably because you can donate plasma more often so even though you're getting your cells back more volume of PFAS is removed overall.
