Remember how we found out that not only are people fully conscious the entire time when they are converted from matter to energy and back (which makes that scene in TMP even worse), but there are CREATURES that can ATTACK them while it happens?
Interesting! TIL.
Trump brand fake boner pills. Gold with a big T on them.
If this reaction were physically possible, I would have made it after reading that:
That is a level of lack of self-awareness I haven’t seen in ages. No wonder these idiots believe AGI is right around the corner. They’re modelling it after themselves.
And with that added bit of incivility, you have made your choice.
I can’t give you numbers, but it’s a federal regulation. A lot of reports have to get written and a lot of research has to be done, especially in the field of federal regulation as a whole, which is so insane that we literally have no idea how many federal laws there are. And then all of that documentation has to be read by other people and approved all the way up the chain. So we are talking a lot of people’s time and effort (which translates into taxpayer money) that could have better been spent on things which are causing active harm.
If they were doing their job, they would remove dangerous “herbal” remedies people are giving to their kids and hurting or even killing them, not something that has a small chance of causing cancer if you feed a shit ton of it to a rat.
As I showed to someone else, it took ten years for the FDA to get a company to voluntarily recall a product that was causing seizures in hundreds of babies. https://www.statnews.com/2017/04/13/homeopathy-tablets-recall/
Nah, how about you stop trolling before you get banned for it?
Again- are your needs everyone’s needs?
Except that it’s ridiculously unregulated and it’s not even actually “homeopathic” half the time, it contains actual pharmaceuticals or even just straight up poison.
Here’s an example. It took ten years for the FDA to get this company to do a voluntary recall despite their product giving babies seizures.

I’m amazed people aren’t aware of this stuff.
I’m not playing Devil’s Advocate, I’m saying this is a really minor good in the greater scheme of things and I imagine the cost and time breakdown in terms of what it took to accomplish took a lot away from other, more important things.
Because this took a hell of a lot of time and effort and taxpayer money that the FDA could have spent on so many other more important things.
This is barely “the good.”
A 1990 study concluded that “chronic erythrosine ingestion may promote thyroid tumor formation in rats via chronic stimulation of the thyroid by TSH.” with 4% of total daily dietary intake consisting of erythrosine B.[10] A series of toxicology tests combined with a review of other reported studies concluded that erythrosine is non-genotoxic and any increase in tumors is caused by a non-genotoxic mechanism.[11]

Humans are not rats and no one is eating that much Red Dye No. 3 a day.
How could you possibly know one way or the other? Are you psychic? Are your needs everyone’s needs?
Once again, read:
Or are you going to actually claim that you talked to “everybody” wherever “down here” is and they all told you they faked their cover letters and none of them lied about it?
Oh sure, you loved that movie. The people in the movie, not so much.
No, I won’t “trust you” on that because you are wrong.
People for centuries have developed extremely deep and personal friendships through the mail.
Furthermore, we now have decades of people in long-term stable relationships where they fell in love over the internet.
Even before the internet, I met a girlfriend from another school via BBSes in high school. We didn’t meet in person for months and it was no different when we met in person in terms of how we felt about each other.
Again, just because you can’t make personal connections on the internet doesn’t mean no one can.
Sure. Ban Red Dye No. 3, but let’s allow all the homeopathic bullshit we want because hey why regulate that stuff? They just give it to kids.
It’s harder to lie. And easier to detect lies.
That is an hilariously naïve thing to say.
Also, I have met many real friends over the internet who I have only interacted with over the internet. I have a friend in Turkey I have never met in person but we feel like family to each other.
Just because you can’t make personal connections here doesn’t mean no one can.
How is that a deflection? I don’t agree that they are doing their jobs.
