  • The article says the source is Russell Edwards, go look into his research if you want to know more about the claim and refute it, stop relying on the name of the news outlet.

    Dude is an author so obviously he has reason to want this to make the news, you aren't wrong for not believing either of them, but it doesn't stop at the name of the website

  • This logic is baffling.

    Most news outlets are owned by billionaire assholes who are very much invested in controlling what you see and think. Don't judge the veracity of a statement based on how much the news covered it, or even people's outrage or interest.

  • Someone was literally arguing that they removed "tesla* from the papers but that it was always going to order electric vehicles, and theyre just removing it for the woke idiots who see collusion everywhere.

    I don't think theyll ever understand oligarchy, to them it's completely normal to take advantage of your power, Trump convinced them it means youre smarter.

    Gonna be a long 4 years, that's if they ever allow democratic elections ever again. Luckily cheeto will croak soon, so he won't be able to perpetuate his reign like Putin does but someone else might pick up for him.

  • I agree it's pretty irrelevant to the fentanyl problem, but it's a good way for people to estimate how much 40mg is. I think they meant a similar mass in this case. 40 mg of fentanyl is not necessarily 40mg of aspirin, but 40mg of fentanyl is the size of half a tablet. You see this all the time especially in the US, again with football fields or something like "which equates to about 3 large elephants". Nobody know what that means but it gives some picture.

    I'd completely agree with you if they said "less than half a tablet of aspirin worth of fentanyl can kill you", but they are only showing what 40 mg looks like and not what it takes to harm someone. Harm is not in this article (or i missed it). The point about 40mg being arbitrary is made later in the article, where they say it's often sold in 100mg doses so it's just a trick to get everyone.

    Not saying youre wrong, just saying how I perceived it.

  • Because they are providing context on quantities not how lethal it is.

    40mg of fentanyl is 1.6% of the 2.5 grams allowed in BC. For those wondering what 40mg physically looks like (for context), it's about half the size of a

    <common pill people know the size of>

    .

    If they had said 0.00000001 football fields, they weren't comparing the lethality of football fields to fentanyl.

  • He got really rich out of his one business. He wasn't a billionaire 20 years ago and he could have if he decided to become a mogul. He isn't there making his money injecting ads between clicks and milking it either. He made it by mostly pushing technology that benefited the world more than himself

    While I agree there should be no billionaires (no single person needs that much), there are much worse people than gaben. I'm sure he'd be the first to give it up if that was the law.
