Would you say what you're seeking is "more intimacy," up to, potentially, the most possible intimacy?

I would suggest looking at his different interests and getting curious. If you're interested in the guy, it should be pretty easy to find reasons why this film or that game are endearingly-this-or-that in a way that makes you like and respect him even more.

Then, you bond over it; by trusting his taste (intimacy) enough to check out that show or whatever interest, you now have an opportunity to get deep (intimacy) into what you each individually felt (intimacy) about it, and maybe you felt something in common. That's some foundation for intimacy.

Animals raised for consumption generate 32 percent of the world’s methane emissions, and agriculture is the largest source of anthropogenic methane pollution. Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas after carbon, and it’s 80 to 90 percent more powerful than carbon in its first 20 years in the atmosphere. This is why many scientists believe that aggressively curbing humanity’s methane pollution would be the fastest way to slow planetary warming. And methane isn’t the only environmental problem associated with meat and dairy. Even though animal agriculture provides 17 percent of the world’s calories, it accounts for 80 percent of global agricultural land use and 41 percent of global agricultural water use, which translates into an outsize impact on biodiversity.

Similar words, both would work. Look them up if you're interested. Exponent connotes more of a "believer" to me, whereas the proponent is an advocate.

I think it could very well be dissolving at least a coating. I would use more dilute IPA. 👍

Being a Group 1 carcinogen, let's analyze it with other carcinogens in the same group: is there such a thing as "won't actually harm you" amounts of asbestos? What about "won't actually harm you" exposure to ionizing radiation?

We don't know which DNA damage will turn into cancer, but each exposure to a group 1 carcinogen is another lotto ticket bought to see if you won cancer. You will never buy a lotto ticket that doesn't have a chance of winning.

ETA and then there's the non-cancer effects that just increase cardiac problems and stroke risk.

I think it's actually you who are misinformed, to an extent, as you're painting with a brush so broad as to disregard the value and integrity of journalism entirely.

The news having changed is certainly true. For instance, the abolishment of the Fairness Doctrine in the US in 1987. It "required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters."

Furthermore, as "the fourth estate," at it's best journalism serves as a check on the power of the state and power - especially corporations. The muckrakers of the early 20th century, like Upton Sinclair, raised public awareness of corporate monopolies and unsafe worker conditions. Journalism was instrumental in fostering the knowledge and will necessary to claw workplace rights and protections from the rising capitalist class.
