  • reminiscent of a malware site

    Well, that's because it is malware.

    it, is to me at least, right leaning

    It's not right leaning.

    It's disinformation malware whose sole purpose is to move the Overton window as far right as possible.

    It labels anything short of outright fascism as far left.

  • Jupiter is quite more flattened than Earth due to how fast it spins and it being made mostly of gas.

    If you want spherical, look at Venus... or, even better, the Sun (not directly, though, of course; use some kind of filter or reflector).

  • On university computers, using Netscape Navigator, browsing the information superhighway (i.e., mostly Geocities) filtered through Yahoo and, as soon as I found it, AltaVista (whose user experience was much more similar to what Google's would be), and reading hardcore erotic stories between classes...

    The World Wide Web has only gone downhill from there. It probably died around the time when the blink and marquee tags were deprecated, and we've been browsing it's dessicated corpse since then, like maggots on a carcass already way too rotten to provide any nourishment.

  • the totally not evil company Bayer

    Ah, yes, the totally not evil company that (together with BASF and Hoechst, forming the cartel IG Farben) developed chlorine gas for use in world war I.

    The same IG Farben which was the single largest donor to Hitler's election campaign, and main contributor to the construction of Auschwitz, where they produced synthetic petrol and rubber for use in the war and performed all manner of human experiments, including testing their own Zyklon B gas.

    The same company that decades after the war was still chaired by well known nazis, and profiting from chemicals developed at Auschwitz.

    Yeah, I'm sure Monsanto is in good hands, and feels right at home there.

  • Half a million is within reach for people who didn't start out dirt poor, got an education, and a professional gig.

    No, it's not.

    To have that kind of money you have to have been born with it, be corrupt, have won a lottery¹, and / or have been born back when the world wasn't yet as FUBARed as it is now.

    1.— By winning a lottery I don't necessarily mean a literal one. I mean that out of the million people with your exact same abilities, opportunities, and circumstances you're the one lucky bastard who made it out without being chewed up and spat out by the world.
