  • This is the completely rational discussion that is entirely appropriate to be having.

    However, this is decidedly not the discussion being had.

    The voices making the rational arguments are either completely outnumbered, or intentionally squelched by corporate news because rational discussions do not sell adverts.

    Personally, I'll always take the side of "burning books is bad."

  • I kinda wish these schmucks would spend their billions on Mechas and battle it out anime style.

    It's an entirely pointless undertaking, but think about it - it would be an outlet for their sociopathic and narcissistic need to win; it would keep them relevant in headlines as they desire, yet far enough away from the political sphere; the news media gets their headlines; the people would get both work and entertainment out of it.

  • He really would have done well as the lead in a fictional Michael Jackson biopic that's an alternate retelling of how his life took a turn in the mid/late 90s, when he discovers that he's actually in the Matrix and is the one. And instead of Annie, we're asking "Neo, are you okay? Are you o.k. ne-o? -- Sha-mona"

  • Adguard and pihole rely on DNS redirects - googs has already implemented "secure DNS" for Chrome in Android, which circumvents network level/local DNS by connecting to a Google owned DNS, serving content using those listings instead.

    They'll likely bring this to all flavors of Chrome.

    Yes, one should use Firefox. Yes that could also avoid the android problem, but also no, because Google forces chrome at weird times (eg, some apps will load a minimal web viewer for hyperlinks links, without leaving the app - sometimes apps don't respect the default browser setting and instead just use chrome.

    🤷

  • Fentanyl is dangerous because it is exceptionally potent; for reference, it is cited to be between 50 and 100 times more potent than morphine. It's typically dosed in 100 microgram (mcg) increments, with a potentially fatal dose is around 2mg (2000 mcg).

    Carfentanil is around 10000 times stronger than morphine, dosed at 1 mcg increments.

    A fatal dose is essentially invisible to the naked eye.

  • Though I have opinions, I will not take the bait, as it is not relevant to my point whether humans distancing themselves from nature is "good" or "bad."

    I think my signal is pretty clear - Your "it's natural" argument fails entirely when one picks and chooses the aspects of human life to which they apply it.

    As an example - you wake up in your climate controlled house, put on your synthetic fiber clothing, jump into your Ford F150 Pickup Truck, Drive to a gas station, pick up a mountain dew in a plastic bottle, and buy a slice of pizza - in all that context, your big brained argument is that it is more natural for that pizza to have animal pepperoni and dairy cheese, vs plant-based alternatives.

    Tell me, who is the clown in this situation?
