All I can find is a 1983 study on rats that show some negative effect on reproduction and physical activity with significant amount of it in their diet, while non-dose dependant effect where also measured. The sample was less than fifty rats for each group, and the results where all over the place (2.5% of the diet caused similar to more damage than 10% of the diet).

You’d have to eat ton of the stuff, almost exclusively, to even reach levels that are considered still safe for humans. Beyond that, it’s not more dangerous than chili.

Red cheetos weren’t killing people, that’s why they looked into that. Cancer-can here, with a proven history of being deadly, would look a-ok to them if they were still made. They’d probably issue a fake commercial made under the name of whatever agency should definitely not approve of this where whey literally spray this on burning meat on a bbq then gobble it with a glass of old refried grease.

We can. Plenty of good stuff. Or at least, not terrible stuff. But it makes more profit to get something out quick and see how it goes than do long, serious, costly research before releasing a product.

Cancer… in a can. That would make a banger ad.

Man I wish. We’re all bland flavor, non-furry, (supposedly) non gay, people at work.

you are underpaying them

I’m not their employer, so I’m ok with that.

Firefox, despite all the suspicions around Mozilla, still works well, is still user friendly, privacy friendly, and well maintained. You can either pick a fork that includes a few more things, or just go with vanilla Firefox and ublockorigin. This extension alone (which is highlighted as a recommended extension on the mozilla add-ons website), on its default settings, already sets you up for most ads and privacy hostile sites.

If you want to go further you can look into noscripts, but it’s already way more involved, because it will break some sites until you look into what to allow or not.

So, you agree there’s no good reasons to use it, thanks.

Yet another reason to switch to brave

There is no good reasons to use brave. It’s based on chromium, propped up by suspicious individuals, uses predatory marketing tactics and have an history of not caring very much for privacy in favor of hijacking and inserting referrals. And that’s only the most prominent issues. Their last stunt of willingly adding annoying features and offering people to pay to remove them should tell you all you need to know.

Do people not believe their own eyes anymore?

Well… yeah. When news outlet can show a video where something happen while claiming the opposite happened, and people will cheer, yeah. It’s not even that people won’t believe what they see, it’s that it’s overwritten by “some dude in a suit said so”.

I’m extremely cautious around Mozilla (a bit aggressive, even), and don’t have much trust in them for the future of Firefox at this point. And yet, it’s only worries for the future; as it currently goes, there’s some major annoyances in Firefox, but they still give most/all the settings needed to have a privacy-enabled browser (at least enough for most users).

And, obviously, I’d rather take “it currently works well but I’m worried about a potentially bad thing in the future” over “it’s broken now and operated by crooks”.

This place loves her

Everytime anything from this person is posted, there’s a swat of people that actively come in to say “I don’t like that”. Which is both, like, ok, why are you telling me this? And also, not exactly fitting your statement either.

Most people, faced with something they don’t care about, just ignore it instead of clamoring it in public.

Vance criticizing something tells me the thing in question is probably correct one way or another.

I’m not sure having games made for you would be better than having games you can play. There’s plenty of shit out there that’s not marketed towards me anymore, but I still enjoy it. And yes, it’s rarely AAA games. Even more enjoyable AND cheaper.

Frankly, it’s not that good. Checkmate!

Wait-

Uninterruptible sleep entered the chat

Asked for comments, they kept saying “Rest assured there is no death ray plans”

Well, child labor is still a thing, and doing a comeback in unexpected places, smoking inside has “forbidden” in most public places for decades… too bad there are STILL people that don’t give a fuck, and slavery, well… I guess it is illegal too.

Big woop. Over the last year or so, it moved from “can reliably set a timer” to having to yell at it, multiple times, crossing an unexpected amount of hurdles, to get it to maybe understand that you want to set a timer, and god forbids that you want it with a specific name and duration. Oh, and the icing on the cake : it worked perfectly when it was locally running on the phone, and started going downhill when they pulled the plug on that.

I wonder why people aren’t sold on such wonderful tech.

Can’t do a blood test if there’s no blood to begin with.
