No, what I’m saying is that if you drink a gallon of vodka you’d have alcohol poisoning. If you drink a bathtub of water you’d have water poisoning, a real thing. If you eat a shit ton of concentrated capsaicin… You’d have…?

My take is that the people who were treated were treated for symptoms of poisoning, and that pretending they weren’t is a stupid, petty, and useless line to fixate on. They were exhibiting symptoms of poisoning. They weren’t poisoned in the traditional sense that immediately comes to mind when you hear the word and imagine the action, but what happened to them was the same stuff that would happen to someone who was. We can all move on now.
The problem is that the ban is a fucking stupid idea as compared to better labelling and/or age controls.
Being an asshole is a bad look, but even worse when you’re a confidently incorrect one.
If that kilo of cheese were artificially somehow shrunk down to a single serving and marketed to cheese enthusiasts as “the cheesy challenge”… Maybe?
You would still have some kind of poisoning if you’re lactose intolerant, importantly.
I think my own point is that someone showing symptoms of poisoning in this context is valid, even if banning a super-spicy food is a heavy-handed reaction to what would probably be better solved with better labelling and in an extreme case age restriction.
To the doctor treating a patient, they don’t care about the legal definition. A poisoned patient is a poisoned patient.
Additionally, “causing symptoms of” a thing is a very different statement from “causing”. Covid causes symptoms of the flu, for example.
We all do, no worries. Thanks for clarifying!
You’re allowed to be pig-headedly wrong.

Form, not function.
And to top it all off, release codenames are Discworld references!
You want this person to write in?
Seems… Like it wouldn’t help matters.
You’re right, those people deserve to learn something special too.
Here’s my personal favorite mix that they’ve done. Not a lot of people who know them have heard it, but it’s absolutely stellar.
It can be, sure. But when used in a limited manner where it makes sense it can be the more readable option. I’ve used it in a try/catch to retry the operation after changing a variable. One label (“reconnect”), one goto, totally easy to understand on a surface level.
It’s a bit more consumer focused, easier for Grandma kind of thing. Syncthing isn’t hard, but does have in my opinion a bit more difficult of an initial setup with features like introducers that can make things difficult if configured wrong.
Love how you equate commenting numbers with ability to do anything, and the reframing of my “pathetic” comment about being inflexible in your arguments once you were made aware of their disabilities as me saying you should have known from the start.
One big love-fest here!
Oh well then, that certainly does help both this person and america in general. Glad we cleared that up and justified your incredibly inflexible approach to telling a disabled person to “get off their lazy ass”. You’re expressing democracy, got it.
I agree, and strongly believe that the most helpful way forward in this respect would be to implement ranked choice voting, which is just about as out-of-reach to most Americans as a viable third-party candidate is today.
Maybe the next try at democracy will be the one that sticks.
I ignore like 80+ NSFW communities, there’s a whole button for it. Super easy.
THE CREAM ALL WAYS RISES TOO THE TOP
I didn’t get much sleep, so the tone of my posts today has been fairly aggressive.
For the purposes of making myself entirely clear, because it seems like I’m being misinterpreted, I’ll tone down the typical internet rudeness-for-rudeness and plainly state my feelings about this directly. If you disagree with them at that point, that’s understandable, but right now you say that you believe that I believe things that I don’t believe, and my entire point in continuing to reply is that I want to make it clear what I’ve been saying from the beginning:
If the doctors had literally said “spicy is poison”, they would have been wrong and dumb. They didn’t. If any politician has said that “spicy is poison”, they’re wrong and dumb. If any news sites have said that “spicy is poison”, they’re dumb and wrong.
I don’t want to continue to send messages with the intention of clapping back or being an ass, and I’m genuinely happy to continue the discussion in a way that doesn’t make both of us into assholes going forward, if there are more points of my position you’d like me to clarify or would like to continue to talk about, but if things are gonna keep being weirdly insulting for no good reason, then Imma dip.
