Dark mode is such a dumb trend and I'm waiting patiently for it to die. It's not easier on the eyes unless you're in a dark room with no windows.

It's cute, but my first thought was "is this AI generated handwriting?".

I would still rather recieve a physical hand written card in the mail.

Some these aren't broken and don't need to be fixed. Waiting for the mailman is a feature not a bug.

They shouldn't. Science has been captured by industry and the military industrial complex.

Antibiotics are extremely overused and lead to chronic illness via gut dysbiosis. Geo-engineering won't work and will just cause more unintended consequences (drought in other regions, chronic illness from heavy metals in the atmosphere)

Cancer rates and chronic illness are rising and people are dying younger for the first time. The writing is on the wall.

These facts aren't revealed often because there's no corporation that benefits from marketing it, there's nothing to sell, only bad technologies to opt out of.

They've been doing it for decades, and the news reports on it, but then gaslights anyone who talks about stratospheric aerosol injections. Therr have been ongoing tests of these geo-engineering tools for decades.

Are you a native Chinese speaker?

I've noticed Chinese are very loose with their puns, and it helps that there is a lot of regional dialect variation in pronunciation.

For example a common one is 520 (wu er ling) being used for "wo ai ni" (I love you)

So I wouldn't put it past them to consider the two words as "similar"

Overregulation is also a cost that can only be bared by large companies, it's contributed to the shrinking number of family farms and small businesses.

FDA needs to stop pursuing useless things like this and bab the use of glyphosate as a dessicant. There's plenty of other safety concerns in the American food system. This ain't it

Scientists need to stop mucking with nature. First the "edible vaccines" genetic modification, and now this? I'd rather live in a world where agencies don't have absolute control over us. Perfect enforcement doesn't need to exist.

its more of a politically correct vs. heterodox detecting test.

We already had mass censorship of wrongthink on social media coerced by federal agencies. This is petty by comparison and Orwell has been spinning for years now.

Definitely not the vaccine

More likely it's just a scheme to increase usage and they'll figure out the rest later, once they have more data to work with

It keeps techies out of comfy libraries.

I've bought a round trip ticket for 1/3 the price of the one way ticket. I literally couldn't afford the one way... It was 3000 and I had just graduated and was moving back to the states. The round trip was 800

> Sure. If they were otherwise identical, that'd be a good point, but they're not.

You can say the same of opium, heroin, morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, and Naloxone. Many of which have had i ical trials done and all of which are abused and addictive.

I simply don't trust clinical trials by large pharmaceutical companies any longer.

A professor I follow once said Nature isn't as prestigious as people think, they just publish such a high volume that people have gotten that impression

How was that answer even bad exactly? Is white culture racist now?

You know twitter requires a phone number now right? I don't have a Twitter account because I don't use twitter. Why do you assume a a closed off platform so accessible to everyone?

But you still should trust the science

Most academics are struggling to get tenure. They're not Feynman who has the good fortune to not have the threat of perishing.

I can't see this because twitter has a log in wall. Post better links please.

Why discord?

Or maybe it's because the new name is less relevant and not used as much anyways? If you want to hardcode in these updated names and make judgements about what is REALLY relevant you should stay on Google

It's not a "dog whistle". By that same logic , both dogwhistle and disinformation are "dogwhistles" too. People who distrust MSM tends to use phrases such as "real truth" and people who read and repeat MSM tend to use phrases like dog whistle and disinformation.

This isn't a flaw in the search engine either. If you use the phrase "real truth" in your search you are likely distrustful of what has been presented as truth. It's similar to how I use negative words in searches to try to find criticism of various subjects and products.

It's shocking on many platforms. I can't find a citation but I swear I read a study (or small experiment, more likely) which showed the first two votes determine the fate of most posts on reddit. You can use bots on twitter to similarly guide "the hivemind", I receny learned the intelligence term for this practice is "consensus cracking". There's even guides on the internet: https://edith.reisen/computers/security/forum_shills.html

I'm liking Elon's twitter so far.

The majority of users don't comment anyways.

And they're paying it through microtransactions. Most populations follow a power distribution like that, not just gaming. The most loyal customers spend way more than the tail. They don't spend it all at once usually, it's over many transactions. But they are still the group you target. This phenomenon is true in all lines of business not just gaming, and it's due to loyal customers who keep coming back (regardless whether it's a premium purchase or not), not single large ticket purchases...

Sports have super fans that come to every game Airlines have business travelers Etc etc.
