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.

Fantastic way to get people to not trust scientists.

(And let's be real here, most scientists suggested a wildly different approach to solving climate change. This smells more like the behavior of capital than science.)

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

Part of the opposition to this is that there is a certain part of the environmental movement that more than wanting to solve global warming, wants to use it as a stick to go back to a more “natural” state for humanity. They not only oppose geo-engineering but many also oppose nuclear and even solar power installations.

Sorry, the natural state sucked. It was without antibiotics. A tooth infection could kill you. Women were abused by men since they were in general smaller and weaker in a system that placed a premium on physical prowess. Childbirth was painful with high infant and maternal mortality.

No thanks.

We need a massive amount of technology to support our population of hat we have now. And we have to innovate ourselves out of this situation.

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.

I stand by 'ish' - B is plosive & M is not; that difference is if anything more apparent in Mandarin than English.

Then 'im' is read flat and not like 'ià'.

Of course 'bo' is quite like 'bāo', but that's your 'ish'.

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"

As far as I can tell, this is what happens any time a new restriction is introduced without specifying who must bear the financial burden.

Checking for allergens has a cost! Who is supposed to pay?

If you want the general public to pay for it, then mandate that every bakery certifies the amount of allergen in their bread: all the bread will cost more and the allergic people will be able to choose safely.

Otherwise, what else would you expect? Bakeries run their calculations and saw that certified sesame-free bread would cost too much for their customer base to keep buying from them, and opening a separate production line is not warranted by the predicted demand. What else could they do to stay in business?

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.
