according to “science” getting jabbed and boosted with experimental gene therapy is super good for you, regardless of the fact that there is exactly zero long term data regarding the subject.

if you give a fuck what “science” thinks….fuck you

By contrast, reading non-fiction makes you racist!

Obviously anything which makes you realise people have their own minds, just like you do, will make you a bit more considerate.

    This comment section shows exactly why Saidit will never be a good platform. It’s filled with right wing fucks that love to push politics onto everything and think they’re being censored when they’re basically saying we should go back to the 1820s!

    Also, what happens if you read nonfiction? 🤔

    i knew a guy in california, a stoned strung out i.v. heroin addict... he was always reading.. stoned out of his mind, but he was always reading.. only non-fiction.. he told me once that he can easily read one to two hard cover nonfiction books per day, mostly history books..

    that boy knew every thing about every thing.
