• Treating opinion as fact and fact as opinion - You are entitled to your opinion, in most cases, but you are not entitled to your facts.
• Overgrowth of identity - It doesn’t make you any more ‘legitimate’ or more of an authority on anything.
• Social media influencers
• Treating depression like a quirky personality type
• Mommy and Daddy wine culture - You have to drink to deal with life and your children? REALLY?!!!!!! GET REAL!

I HATE this one!
I have an unpopular spin off to it... stay at home moms that NEED their coffee to deal with life/kids. No, not everyone has to be caffeinated 24/7. Also, you can't both "need" something (i NEED coffee t shirts) while claiming that it doesnt give you any special advantage over not having it. Its one or the other!

Everywhere I look Jeffrey Dahmer all of a sudden. I find some true crime interesting but for some reason his case never intrigued me. And now I avoid it like the plague.

We've reached the point where everyone is famous for 15 minutes. I guess Andy Warhol was right.

Extremely annoying trend is when you are grocery shopping for food and are confronted with deceptive packaging that tries to lure into buying fake meat. Every day they getting sneakier too. Plus just recently the CEO of one of the biggest fake meat companies was either indicted or convicted of some serious charges. And they overusing the term plant based foods. Now they calling stuff we have been eating all our lives " plant based " just so they can charge us more. Plus a lot of stuff called organic is no different than the rest except the price is higher. I am surprised that they even are still requiring companies to label their food with GMO. I remember reading somewhere that they tried to stop that. I am also wondering how much GMO crap is in our food anyway labeled or not?

The stuff that is gmo'd by a new method (CRISPR) instead of using viral vector dna doesnt have to be labeled at all, if i understood correctly.
We discussed it briefly in this thread
Weird Stuff In Food Now Includes MRNA Vaccines?
Gee thanks I feel so much better now LOL. well, theres no time like the present to quit eating something bad!
Top 7 consumption habits where people forget to “weed out” GMO
Eating “GMO” daily means consuming bug killer and weed killer chemicals regularly. Genetically modified organisms are utilized heavily in conventional food products to make corporations more profits by using deadly chemicals and plant toxins to exterminate worms, beetles and weeds. These...gmo.news
Different LONG article blaming everything on global warming, gene editing CRISPR to the rescue. Bonus points, doesn't require labeling, since it's gene editing not gene splicing. Written over 4 yrs ago, so who knows what theyve done since then.

TLDR Lots of things are gene edited and in stores and not required to be labeled gmo.
This article alleges that some organic farmers are in favor of using gene editing. Thankfully they are in the minority. Article from 3 years ago, biased pro-gmo site.

As for the stupid fake meat, ive noticed that theyre charging more for it than real meat. I seriously have no idea what incentive anyone would have to buy that garbage if its not even to save money.

So crispr is a way to make even non-gmo food become gmo?The stuff that is gmo'd by a new method (CRISPR) instead of using viral vector dna doesnt have to be labeled at all, if i understood correctly.

Yes.
The previous method of gmo-ing involved using viruses to insert foreign genetic material into a different organism in order to give the new organism certain traits, like resistance to pesticides or resistance to low temperatures, for example.
Crispr involves deleting/inactivating genes or activating dormant genes that are present in the organism. So technically it doesnt contain genes from a different organism, but its still gmo in the sense that its genes have been modified to do things or manifest traits that it wouldn't have otherwise.
Like if there was a gene to stop growth at a certain point, for example, but overriding it makes it grow much larger. But unregulated cell growth is pretty much cancer, so you can see how it could be problematic. Especially if much less testing is involved, since crispr is seen as "less bad" than combining dna.

Why are those predator locsI saw this look in a store window downtown the other week, and I honestly don't get it:
They even had a mannequin with coloured socks on like this guy below (minus the Predator dreadlocks):
How is this look any different from Pee Wee's:
A gangster could be dressed liked this, garner a gun, and I'd still think he looks like a sissy.

I still don’t get it!
Was Tiktok originally JUST a platform to upload and share music? Thus the logo? Kinda like Spotify? Something along the lines of imitating your faves «artists » and influencers or whatever? Kind of like a sub Spotify but with much more freedom between artists and their « fans »?
Uugh, why do my brain do all these weirds connections >< ?! I don’t get it.
Need to revise history on Tiktok….
How would you qualify TikTok platform?
Now TikTok is a wasteland trash of whatever. Every weirds and normals people go to this Trashland.

They could be using natural methods to produce delicious hybrid produce to feed people instead of this! Mad Scientists abound these days it would appear...

Tik Tok is a tool for the CCP to monitor/mine peoples online activity/data globally and a method for population control and suppression within Chinese borders.

QR Codes. Why does everything have to be scanned especially at restaurants? It's sucks if you have an older smartphone or a flip phone. Is there an agenda behind it?
