things twitter has managed to whip itself into a weird hysteria over but are actually perfectly ok:

- seed oils
- antidepressants
- hormonal birth control
- lasik
- gpt-5

- antidepressants have side effects and don't help everyone, effects are very bimodal, but are actually pretty fucking amazing for tens of millions of people. the increasing stigma around them is totally out of touch with reality.
- hormonal birth control has side effects and is maybe pushed too hard, but it also dramatically improves QOL for hundreds of millions of women. not just in terms of not getting pregnant, but hormonal balancing, better emotional regulation, acne, negating extreme period symptoms, etc. again it's bimodal, it helps some and hurts others, but the meme of "birth control is evil" is just not based in reality
- lasik is perfectly safe, there are literally zero confirmed cases of total blindness from it. everyone on this site seems to have some cousin twice removed who had lasik and went blind and killed himself, but those are literally just lies. it quite seriously has lower risk and complication rates than most elective surgeries and certainly plastic surgeries. it's insanely safe and effective
- just enable thinking high bro it's easy
