Centrist take: If you can’t get a decent sear on a gas stove you need to learn how to cook.

    Damn. Well, enjoy your disconcertingly pale steak. Try not to get mad cow disease.

    Honestly, why do these assholes regard acts of self-endangerment as “owning the libs?” “I’m gonna run outside without a mask, get COVID, and die a miserable death! That’ll show those commies a thing or three!” Yes, I’m very “triggered” by your easily preventable deaths. Please don’t kill yourself with your own stupidity. I couldn’t go on without your fourth grade insults and desperate, performative machismo. Stop. Please. Oh no.

      I agree with your point, but I hope you’re not seriously buying into the whole “gas stoves are a health risk” bullshit.

        I assumed the beef with gas (pun partially intended) was it’s burning a fossil fuel and releasing CO² whereas electric could potentially be drawing from carbon free sources.
        Not that gas stoves are a direct risk to the user (although the one in the OP might be if that’s the best it can do)

        No? Really? You don’t think gas and its combustion byproducts can ever be bad for you?

        What are the known health effects from NO2 exposure?

        In a 1992 meta-analysis of studies on this topic, scientists at the EPA and Duke University found that nitrogen dioxide exposure that is comparable to that from a gas stove increases the odds of children developing a respiratory illness by about 20 percent.

        (…)

        In addition to acute effects such as asthma symptoms, long-term nitrogen dioxide exposure has also been linked to chronic lung disease and increased mortality in general.

      what boggles me is that politicians encourage it! like sure they have no empathy and just want power, but in what universe is it a winning bet to make your voter base actively endanger themselves?
