So, I was speaking with Moony and he has given me permission to made this thread.

As you all might have noticed by now, /Townhall/ has been officially closed and will not be returning. However, there is a concern that I brought up with Moony: the inevitable bleed through of politics within this community.

Ponychan.co/ef/ is our Everfree Forest board. It's purpose was suppose to serve as a place for politics as well as serve as a random board, but is leaning more towards the former. Think of Ponychan's /chat/ as to your /pony/, and /ef/ as Ponyville's /townhall/.

To get to the point, I wanted to extend a hand and offer a place for the former Public Servants of /Townhall/ a place to continue their discussions. The rules would essentially be the same, just more lenient: Discussion is allowed, whether I agree with you or not. (Or anyone else for that matter.) While I would encourage people to be civil and not throw mindless insults, things do happen and you're not going to be banned over it. If you want to make posts shitting on Trump all day, be my guest. If you want to tell me to go die in a fire because I disagree with you, go right on ahead.

While we've had our disagreements in the past, I feel it is important for people to talk about these things.

It isn't exactly in the best condition at the moment. I am going to be cleaning it up and culling old threads that don't really fit anywhere else, but, it is something.

Should there be greater disclosure requirements for restaurant practices known to produce toxic aldehydes, such as keeping high-PUFA deep-frying oil at high temperatures for prolonged times? E.g., should restaurants be required to provide written notice (such as on menus) of the type of oil used and their practices to limit toxic peroxidation products (such as how long the oil may be kept above 300°F or max TPC before oil is discarded)?

RFK versus autism Wacky Snake 07/21/25 (Mon) 21:10:31 No.16277[Reply]

So, RFK Jr announced the ambitious project to map and study the causes of the great autism epidemic this year.

While nobody knows yet what the outcome will be, what do you expect the results will be like?

> We found some brain chemistry stuff that nobody probably understands properly, but it may help us a bit more to identify what causes autism in the future.
> We found and identified the exact cause of autism and will work on a vaccine / medication that will cure patients.
> It's vaccines all along. Wakefield was right and we're gonna stop the mandates and the development on new dangerous vaccines, while we look to mitigate the damage done to society by years of malpractise.
> Autism can be fixed by a strict military disciopline, instead of feeding our kids pills and giving them unbridled access to therapists and disability checks. People with autism looking to be cured can report at the nearby wellness therapy session to work and live under military discipline.
> Autism in the most cases is a perpetuated scam made up by big pharma. Except for the extreme cases, the average person on the ASD spectrum is willingly or unwillingly defrauding or system. Handouts to support people on ASD financially, or programs to adapt to people on ASD are now scrapped indefinitely.

The september deadline is getting closer.

>A post saying "Republicans aren't terrorists and aren't Nazis, and they don't want to Holocaust the opposition." generates Republicans whining that terrorists and Nazis as well as trying to Holocaust the opposition are all not that bad and not that much of a problem.

>Saying that Republicans don't hate gay people and don't hate disabled people make them go "How dare you!" as they bring up that both hatreds are supposedly great ideas.

Are we now at the point where you guys can't even let yourself fucking recieve compliments? Compliments aren't allowed now? Agreement isn't allowed now? You're not allowed to be agreed with?

Can I say "Republicans oppose child molestation."? Or "Republicans oppose cannibalism."?

If you guys aren't even able to let me agree with you and complement you, then what the fuck do you expect? What do you even want?

What the fuck do you guys even believe? Are gay people evil subhumans that should die? Or are they not? Are disabled people evil subhuman that should die? Or are they not? Why do Republicans hate people saying that they're not bigoted? Shouldn't that be a positive thing? Right?

Why is it so fucking hard to just say "hating people is stupid"? Why is that so fucking impossible? Why is that so fucking offensive?

Why aren't I able to even fucking agree with you? Why do you even oppose people that agree with you? Why is that so fucking offensive to you?

Suppose (1) you were in charge of the FDA and (2) you could get any relevant legislation enacted. If you want to decrease the cost of regulatory compliance (for bringing a new drug to market) by a factor of 10, how would you do so?

Wasn't there something about forcing other countries to abandon socialised healthcare as it creates unfair playing field?

Sure, it doesn't do shit to decrease the actual pricing but at least you'ld no longer be the sole king of having shitty health care.

I don't recall anything like that. Closest is Trump's proposal about preventing charging Americans higher drug prices than Europeans, which would decrease prices in America and increases prices in Europe. But this is a zero-sum game. I'm looking for positive-sum proposals, where we decrease costs for everybody by eliminating excessive regulatory costs. There is a lot of low-hanging fruit for decreasing the costs of clinical trials.

If I was up to me, I'd eliminate all trade restrictions that exist whatsoever between the United States and all of the countries of the world with the singular exception of evil dictatorships that're adversary nations to humanity itself and enjoy killing innocents for fun (such as China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia as well as some other countries).

All trade restrictions.

You want Canadian pills? French wines? German cars? Japanese sex toys? Mexican snack foods? Polish sausage dinners? Anything else?

Go for it. Fuck big government shitheads and fuck their restrictions of individual freedom as well as of personal economic liberty.

I wouldn't call burning down your own communities 'manly.'

>I would speculate that masculinity is inherently illogical and violent, and the more masculine somebody is the more of a chance of them not just being a criminal but also being a violent predator.

There are toxic shades of both masculinity and femininity. Neither are inherently evil. Just as you claim that masculinity could be seen as illogical and violent, it could be argued that positive masculinity is that of the stoic and logical thinker, and one who uses violence as a form of protection. The guardian. It has also been historically and traditionally seen as the active trait associated with intelligence, the thinker, and reissuance man.

To be honest it sounds like you've gotten the traits of masculinity and femininity mixed up. Femininity when positive takes for in its own intelligence, as well as nurturing and empathy. Though even those can't be strictly defined to femininity. As for violence, women are very much capable of violence and are only limited by physical weakness in many cases.

In truth as one unknown anon said: each are two different instruments that play the same notes. They simply have different frequencies.

Most murder is intra-racial (i.e., perp and victim are of the same race). So, you can use murder victimization rates to test your hypothesis. It turns out that your hypothesis fails to explain most of the difference between black murder rates and white murder rates.

The core, nightmare thing for me is that some Russians living in Russia will talk positively of Stalin's Soviet Union same as how some Japanese individuals will talk nicely of the old fascist Empire and even some Germans speak nicely of the Nazis.

When it's a matter of the original countries in which the militaries exterminated countless innocents, it's pretty dark stuff.

A lot of seemingly decent organizations have horrific issues regarding bloody histories, like with Japan once again you can look at this recent-ish news story: https://www.nippon.com/en/in-depth/d01143/

Should It Even Be A Commercial Product? Wonderful Armadillo 08/01/25 (Fri) 07:26:41 No.16356[Reply]

The more I think about recent news in the context of summer in the United Kingdom and the United States, the more I wonder whether or not things such as air, sunlight, water, or other "fuzzy concepts" should be commercial products that get bought and sold by both companies and governments.

There's an extremely convincing argument that basic human rights should include breathing air and drinking water alongside having sunlight shine on you.

There's also an extremely convincing argument that if the American and British legal systems don't treat the likes of air and water as commercial goods with some price set on them then usurping entities (such as literal criminals acting on behalf of foreign businesses and/or regimes) will make these worth nothing, artificially setting a price at zero, and destroy the public trust.

Do you view air as a product? What about water? What about sunlight? What about other such things?
