Adding "the fuck" or "mother fucker" changes it, I think.

It still implies you're the only person aware of it and not like that very article on global temps was on the front page today. So yeah, it actually does make you seem a bit crazy.

Reptilians: Notice I didn't list that one? And how I said "most"? Thank you for demonstrating the lack of reading comprehension and context I was specifically pointing out. May others look at your comment as a perfect example of being dense and obtuse.

Fyi, "chem trails", or "cloud seeding", as it's actually called, is very much real. When you search by it's real name, you'll find programs going back to the 60s. California, for example.

MANY conspiracy theories are based on a shred of truth. UFOs are mostly classified craft(the Blackbird was one, once known as the UFO "Aurora").

Flat Earth was just a group that liked to jokingly entertain crazy ideas for shits and giggles that got coopted by people who took the satire seriously.

We'd do ourselves a great service if we stopped seeing every issue in broad strokes and saw the nuance and context behind it. You're no better with your rant broadly denouncing a wide array of topics in mass.

Bruh, you're still doing it in your edit to your OP. Chem trails are real. They release the chemicals via rockets or planes.

Are all trails chem trails, NO. Are chem trails how they get the chemicals up there? Well yeah.

Seriously, go look up the history of cloud seeding.

You keep trying to say "well the people who support this are ignorant because it's not 100% the crazy conspiracy theory, only 95%".

I get your point, but we also need to change this behaviour of treating all conspiracy theories as being full of crazy people. Is every plane spreading chem trails? Absolutely not. But some absolutely are and the people who try to bring attention to it get lumped in with the Flat Earthers. It's very hard to talk about the legit programs going on without being dismissed as crazy or "ignorant". It's long been a tactic to paint the other side as dumb or crazy and thus stifle actual discussion. We as a society need to rise above this.

Um, cloud seeding is solar geo-enginerring. What do you think clouds are doing? You realize they change the abeido, right? You're trying to be pedantic, but it's just wrong.

You say it's based in ignorance. It's not. Weather manipulation is real. This isn't just "let's not spray pollutants". It's very specifically targeting weather manipulation. You're seeming to say "well they're doing it because of a conspiracy, but at least it helps the environment anyways". No, we're doing it because of real tech that has been used since the 60's and is completely unregulated. This is intentionally a good thing, specifically targeting an issue.

Um, no it's not. There are legit weather manipulating programs. Not the conspiracy chem trails bs, but legit "weather manipulation isn't illegal, so private companies have started getting into it for creating snow on mountains or clearing the sky before a concert" things. It made the news awhile back when a, I believe, California company, started doing it.

Beijing did it before the Olympics. It wasn't a secret by any means.

As it stands now, there is very little regulation in that area if the things you are spraying aren't already considered toxic substances. But should just anyone be able to manipulate the weather? Won't that cause more widespread issues? Maybe, maybe not. But should we leave that decision in the hands of corporations?

ETA: If you want to know more, start by looking up "cloud seeding". You'll see we've been openly testing it for decades. Source: Google

Seriously. We already have the legal concept of "acts of God" in every form of insurance. Great idea, but you'd have to uproot centuries of legal standards, and I just don't see the opposition allowing that. It would open the door to so many more lawsuits.

Great idea, but I'll wait to hear if it passes and what actual teeth it has.

Sickle cell anemia would like a word. Some diseases are absolutely more prevalent in certain races. The problem is we as a society fail to distinguish between "being racist" and "acknowledging differences". You point out differences and suddenly you're racist, even if it is relevant. In this case, it seems not to be relevant and is good it is being removed. But let's not pretend there aren't factual reasons for it to exist in some crcumstances.

Another example is pulse oxygen monitors being worse on melonated skin. It's a result of the physical properties of the skin. Is it racist to acknowledge this and have different method for people with different skin types? Absolutely not.

Not everything is an identity issue. And it's not "your platform" you egotistical prick. Fuck off yourself.

Oh look, bullshit filling my feed. You know this just means I can't trust anything you post today and will proceed to ignore any actual announcements, right? And anything cool that does actually happen today will be ignored?

Pranks need to be actual pranks. Not "I'm gonna lie to you because it's April 1st". That's just lying during the one day everyone expects you to lie. It's the most basic and lowest effort "prank".

Lol try saying that on someone's April 1st post. You'll get a lot of angry people because you think it's annoying and you're just "ruining their fun". It's been a fun morning lmfao

You mean there's not still a team of developers working full time to make sure your 8 year old hardware is still getting software/security parity? Color me shocked. Shocked I say! They should support your hardware for free forever! How dare they advance in such a way that it's not possible for my 8 year old hardware to run the exact same as modern hardware that's been updated and iterated hundreds of times since then.

It shows. They did this same article a decade ago.

I've found the free editors, including Firefoxs, will often treat an Adobe/AutoCad made PDF as a flat single image. Everything has been merged together. Adobe was the only thing that would let me still treat every line and box and text as individual.

Any suggestions?

Many users don't log in. After the fall of the 3rd party apps, I only use the rdx webapp if I want to view reddit. I don't log in with an account at all anymore. So all of my data looks like some anon browsing from the same VPN server as hundreds of other anons. Yes they can analyze all of that traffic and individualize it, but that takes work. I'm glad to make them expend more effort, even if they get the same data in the end. Every step that makes it less cost effective for them is better, even if not perfect.

No need.

Lol no
