Palm oil cultivation is wildly harmful in many cases. And palm oil is not a replacement for olive oil.

Have you spent any times with bees? Beekeeping really changed my opinions on bees. They are quite industrious and very gentle.

Are those body builders controlling for other variables? Changes in diet, exercise, performances, routines, etc? I'd believe any number of things could correlate with body builders…

I believe it's possible to improve things. I don't think this is an example of a material change. I, personally, find both the incoming and outgoing administrations to be truly rep…

Civil asset forfeiture, including by the DEA, is still very much a thing. Having a President end it in airports affects some tiny fraction of the broader problem. And it only ends …

Exactly what I'm saying!

The U.S. has funded terrorist organizations since forever. You think this is novel?

Maybe if your leader is a dictator and it looks like you are losing, defecting might be a better option than fighting to the death for a leader who doesn't care about you.

I don't know that I agree with this characterization. Was Assad particularly stable? Was he able to prevent rebel groups effectively? HTS of today might be different from HTS of th…

If by "for years" you mean "since its inception" then yes, 100% agree.

Did they stop it? Maybe in airports, maybe. The practice is still very much alive.

In general, I find the concept of originalism to meet this criteria. Especially as originalist justices are turning to tradition over originalism. The bend from "the words as origi…

So... nationalism? We like our surveillance state and demonize their surveillance state?

It's absolutely pseudo science. People love it, and it's useful as a tool to recognize "different humans problem solve differently", but like, taking it more seriously than that is…

This ban has always felt so silly. If it's privacy and data harvesting as a concern, don't a million apps do that? If it's anti-China sentiment, why TikTok and not a million other …

The latter, but it's always been the latter. But usually they've been better at using the former to hide the latter. Recently, there's been a much thinner veneer of "legal principl…

I'd be shocked to see a leftist still on Twitter, tbh. I'm sure there are plenty of Liberals, but I doubt there are many Leftists.

I talk about MySpace and Digg regularly, they are unpopular, and they are the exact thing happening here. I think we're in the interregnum period between X and whatever picks up th…

Then it's a good opportunity for you to reflect on why it doesn't make sense, go and educate yourself a little. Congrats, you learned you need to learn a little today!

X, as a platform, is absolutely cooked. I'm sure it will remain around the same way Truth social is around. A small group of right wing folks will hang out there and argue to their…

The author might be wrong. It can actually be racist in ways beyond "African people are genetically inferior." I didn't find the author to be particularly deeply invested, they see…

This CEO, in particular, has almost certainly taken actions that resulted in preventable suffering and death. To some degree, that's the nature of running health insurance companie…
