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.
