So, I don't know that this is political, but this is something that is so utterly, completely, beyond my life experience that it baffles me: People who still believe stuff they read on Facebook.
It came up this morning because apparently people are now eating their dogs' heartworm pills because someone posted that it prevents/treats coronavirus, and the FDA had to make a formal announcement asking people to please stop.
And it took me under 30 seconds to Google that, find the official FDA site, and link the guidance.
But honestly. Anyone with internet access anywhere in the world should have heard by now that Facebook spreads lies like mosquitoes in Minnesota in the Spring. So, your Facebook friend sends you an official-looking article saying that heartworm medicine has been proven to treat or prevent coronavirus.
And you don't double-check?
I... just... don't... get it.
Shiro sends me stuff. I've known Shiro for over a decade now. I still fact-check what he sends me if it sounds fishy.
Because the internet is full of lies.
And the idea of just accepting everything everyone tells you at face value and acting on it to the point of eating heartworm medication?
Just beyond my comprehension.

Addendum to this: DO NOT USE MEDICATION FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN THE ONE IT IS INTENDED FOR.
Medicine is an extremely refined, exceptionally specific, singular purpose tool. Just as you absolutely should not - ever! - use a rotating table saw to fix your electrical outlet wiring (an obvious and impossible action), medicine only has certain things it is to be used for. While you can sometimes find inventive uses for other tools, those tools are not part of your biology - medicine affects you. If a medical professional that you personally know and trust and can verify with in real life clears the use of taking medicine for other purposes, you can probably believe them.
(And, thank you autocorrect for the reminder, don’t use medicine for any porpoise, other than what it is intended for.)

It may not be political for you, but it very much is here. Nine times out of ten, my family believes Facebook because any other source (besides Fox News, which much of their Facebook feed is just parroting anyway) has "a liberal bias" and thus isn't considered trustworthy.
This includes fact check sites.
This includes Snopes.
This includes any Wiki besides Conservapedia.
This straight up includes Google.
If my mother wasn't employed in a medical field and thus no longer had SOME pre-existing medical knowledge, I'm sure it would include the CDC itself if they say anything contrasted against Fox or Trump. I know there's several people around here who already do ignore them for not following Trumps lead.
If it's information that doesn't come from an approved source, it's dismissed outright as propaganda by the "liberal media". Facebook culls all unapproved, contrary content from their feed and is where they keep in touch with and circulate rumor around among their conservative contacts, so it gets to be an approved source.
After all, the culture down here has spent years demonizing education in favor of "common sense", [sarc]so a bunch of "common sense" folk brainstorming together on Facebook has to be better than some "liberal elite", right?[/sarc]

Yeah, that actually came up with my homeroom check-in hangout. Kid who comes from a similarly-minded family asked if I thought the media was overblowing the situation.
...which meant the entire class got to sit through a 5-minute sidetrack into comparisons to the 1917 pandemic and a lecture on the dangers of politicizing a pandemic, wherein you essentially declare "my team being more special is more important than saving lives."
Kid: "...that was...more than I was expecting."
Me: "[Kid], you asked a history major about a direct parallel to current events. That was as short as it was gonna get."
The fact that I managed to keep it to just historical parallels and statistical trends without directly blaming the party needing blaming was a minor miracle, but I'm not in the mood for angry parents re: political opinions.

Which is infuriating, because all the major news outlets in this country are conservative biased, largely because they fall into the traps set by Fake Fox, and conservative think tanks and politicians. Despite already being demonized as the "liberal" media, they're terrified of coming off as biased and so they interview known liars and then at most timidly suggest they might be "mischaracterizing" the situation.
Even NPR, I love 'em and their hearts are in the right place, but they're hopelessly naive about reporting on bad-faith actors.
America unfortunately has no large and savvy left-leaning news media.

Nope. It is, apparently, properly pronounced so the middle syllable sounds like "add". Saying it with the Spanish inflection of "ah", despite the state being naked after the Sierra Nevada mountains, is incorrect and locals will respond with either annoyance or mockery.

I hate wasting food but the even-lower-than-usual rate at which I am getting groceries now threw me off the loop. I just discovered that the piece of pork shoulder meat that was waiting its turn in fridge (and got skipped a few times when I had more short-term products, and delayed a few more times when I didn't bother with making a full dinner) is terribly overdue. When I opened the packaging it was definitely smelly and slimy. I could have try to make something out of it, but decide not to risk food poisoning.
Meh. Over two pounds of meat (and approximately an hour of minimum wage work) went to trash :(
Hate that.
Slime is a sure sign of bacteria.

Also water based is also always safe for your toys.“Just don’t aim too high!” = link to the old film ale Voyage de le lube from 1902Now THAT sounds like a Freehold movie if I've ever heard one.water based lubrication is the rule of thumb for most, however there have been amazing developments in silicone lubricants. Uberlube remains the king there, although Gun Oil, its biggest rival, has aloe as an extra ingredient, which is great for more unusual play. Spilling/leakage is an issue for many, and so Boy Butter, which is a mix of coconut oil and silicone as a semi solid lubricant, is great as it makes spillage impossible.
As ever, if you are allergic to any ingredients, do not use said lubricant(which is why water based lubricants remain the rule of thumb despite their habit of evaporation).
indeed.
Also, do not forget to clean your toys. Maintenance is important.
One of the extra joys of having a dishwasher now. Just put them in, set it to rinse at 70 degrees celcius for half an hour (no soap) and relax.
