The expression "this is why we can't have nice things" comes to mind. Like their FISA powers, spying on communications of journalists with surveillance powers, political abuses within the IRS, etc the government has massively abused asset forfeiture as well and we should return to a liberty centric mindset. No forfeiture without conviction by a jury.

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself."

The government has proven they aren't angels we can trust.

I hate everything about our anarcho-tyranical state.

Blue checkmarks still got hacked when all it meant was the person was "popular".

The buzzword bingo management "Deliver on a integrated streamlined customer experience with inline analytics to deliver sharedholder value" culture strikes again.

What's the appeal of allowing US state propaganda?

I don't understand this result. How would this experiment be able to detect the "antigravity" of antimatter? If the Earth is curving space time in one direction and then antimatter is curving space time in the opposite direction, would not relative impact of the antimatter be so negligible to be undetectable? We are talking about the ability to "unbend" space time of what a particle or two relative to the mass of the earth? So what if it falls, that just means its barely unbending space time.

To use an analogy, Let's say I am on the Amazon river (fastest river according to google). You want to detect which way I was swimming. Would you even be able to detect the marginal effects of me swimming upstream relative to the massively more impactful force from the river?

I am sure the problem here is me, so if someone can correct my thinking.
