Those will just make you depressed in other ways

I'm guessing just for transport of super-expensive/illegal fish during a deal. (like the cliché silver briefcase)

Just use cloth ones.

When soiled, just add some water and a bit of Dreft, shake and rinse out.

Isn't that just for stopping the previews only when hovering over a title from the home screen, for instance? Doesn't that exclude when you open the page for a show/movie, like to read it's synopsis/cast? (the point the OP is making)

To my memory, there is still no option to stop the auto-start.

I don't disagree on the symantics of the term. I'm just alluding to the fact that selective breeding/hybridizing foodstuffs can be similar to genetic modification from an outside perspective.

There are a lot of people that will completely discredit anything that that says It has been genetically modified. What they don't necessarily realize is that GMOs and selective breeding/hybridizing can both carry similar, if not the same risks/benefits. You can make your "all-natural" seeds (for instance) sterile. They can both carry similar risks for allergies. They can also both have the same benefits of of disease/pest/drought tolerance. (see the Great French Wine Blight)

It's also not good, not being able to feed your people without imports.

There are also times when honesty can only get you so far. This is especially true when dealing people that don't believe in validated facts/science. (We still have flat-earthers, don't we?)

Yeah. Those were just two examples that came to mind. Tangelos or any "seedless" produce are some other ones.

I see GMOs as just another form of agricultural development to decrease issues/problems with production. (like splicing in a gene that makes them less appetizing to pests so you would use less pesticides or one that makes them more drought tolerant)

One of the largest drawbacks to GMOs though (aside from the capitalistic approach of introducing sterility) is due to allergies. This could however be easily mitigated by listing where each gene comes from so people who may be allergic to the gene of the donor would know if it should be avoided.

Less votes from his super-conservative followers maybe?

The ones not going for him already have a multitude of other things which make him a no-go.
