"You know what would make this poison really pop? A fistful of active charcoal and prompt medical treatment!"

The most important thing to keep in mind with celebrity actors is that they make a living pretending to be someone/something they're not. And they're damn good at it too.

Not to cast doubt on everyone in that profession. Rather, proceed with an abundance of skepticism when considering celebrity endorsements.

Gwyneth seems to mean well albeit ignorant, but I don't know how Chris Martin put up with her for so long in their marriage. I don't even know what he saw in her if she is a cuckoo from the start.

Giving this much benefit of the doubt to people will be the end of us all.

I'm serious. Hanlons razor, that stupid rule of thumb, has probably caused the most harm of any phrase ever uttered.

I am of the opinion that Hanlon's Razor best applies to isolated or infrequent occurrences. When something has been going on for ~~monrhs~~ months or years that hurts or takes advantage of people, the more likely explanation becomes malice.

Edit: just the typo correction evident in the text.

What is the use of a rule of thumb that is only useful in exceptional cases and requires so much additional filtering?

More than, that, I'm not sure I agree as many types of manipulative behaviours thrive of people using your ruleset. Think many things sales people do, basically most police questions, and on and on.

Pen testers for companies regularly abuse the fact so many people think like this to breach companies with tactics as simple as "aw shit, I forgot my badge at home".

Just an aside, you can make Alkaline lemon water.

It do it:

  1. Peel a lemon using a vegetable peeler
  2. Squeeze the bits of peel (pith side up) into a glass or bottle. This allows you to express the oils from the peel.
  3. Add your Alkaline water to the Glass, the oils will rise to the top, some of it (very little as oils are hydrophobic) will mix with the water, giving it a lemon flavor similar to lacroix.
