You are exactly the type of person I'm talking about 🤦‍♂️.

The technology of GMOs is awesome, it will help us solve several problems, some related to food supplies, and other problems in different areas like healthcare. We can develop food with more nutrients. Crops resistant to most common plagues. We use it to create insulin without needing to harvest tons of pig's pancreas. The technology itself is completely safe and full of potential.

But most uneducated people think that "GMOs = mOnSaNtO" and want to ban all of them only by the actions of a company that no longer exists (yeah, now owned by Bayer, but whatever). And even most of that bad reputation was caused by myths and defamation. Just because one company that developed GMOs was a dickhead doesn't mean that GMOs are bad, in the same way that electric cars should not be banned because of Elon Musk.

Edit to add: like with any technology, it needs to be extensively regulated to prevent monopolies or other abuses.

Being against GMOs is like wanting to ban electric cars because Elon Musk is a dickhead.

Mexico is so hard-as-fuck that was not included in the list.

Exercise and diet. That allowed me to lose 15 kg.

For exercise: I bought Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch at the start of 2020. That's the only thing that has motivated me to exercise. Now I even do some additional weight lifting and cardio exercises. This has helped me the most to lose weight.

For diet: I have gastrointestinal issues. Since 2022 I started a diet to alleviate those problems. This helped only a little for losing weight.

One day on my main Arch installation I created a container inside a directory, and "booted" into it by using systemd-nspawn. When I was done with it I decided to do a rm -rf / inside the container just to be funny. Then I noticed that my DE on the host froze and I couldn't do anything. Then I realized that systemd-nspawn mounts some important host's directories on the container, and I deleted those when I did the rm -rf /. I didn't lose anything, but it was scary.

This wheel chair looks out of place for the setting. I love what Psychonauts 2 did: there is a disabled character that uses psychic levitation for his "wheel" chair.

No, this is a photo of gold ingots.

It's random existing weapons, right? So there is no possibility of getting a Hydra with zip caster, right?

Thank you!

Also, oh gods, I'm two thousand days behind ._.

Dang, some years ago I read Questionable Content in its entirety. I stopped reading when Faye started dating Bubbles, because the page was blocked where I work. I want to read it again out of curiosity, but knowing that I need to read thousands of days just to catch up dampens my enthusiasm.
