Blanket Anti-GMO hysteria is bad of course but there are arguments to be made against things like terminator seeds being used as monopoly tools and pesticide resistant GMOs enabling overuse of them.
Having skimmed through the article mediafactcheckbias linked, it’s kinda weird. At first glance it seems like it’s raising legitimate concern, but it never specifies what.
It sounds like it’s making a case that modified Bt toxins could cause unexpected problems in the ecosystem or for other crops on the long run by targeting more insect species than what it’s designed to, a seemingly valid concern, but never actually reaches any conclusion, instead it uses handwaves like "unexpected toxicological properties " and “protecting public health and the environment” which make it look like they want you to think GMO are poisonous to people without actually saying it.

Those downvotes are confusing. Biden has very openly talked about being a Zionist and how much that matters to him both recently and throughout his political life.
Are people just now realizing that’s a red flag but haven’t connected the dots ?

I don’t like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...
If you look at how many times liberals staged a coup and put a dictator in charge because a country decided to democratically elect a vaguely leftist president you start to realize they much prefer fascism to leftism. Now they’re just doing the same thing domestically.
A pro-Palestine Jewish activist group has had its bank account frozen in Germany for the second time in seven years, after the bank requested a full list of its members’ details in what experts believe is a breach of German law.

That’s a pretty selfish thing to say. To borrow from the stupid metaphor, I don’t want the driver to continue to run people over on the way to the ice cream parlor
I’d have thought that after Andromeda bombed they’d try something else. The reason I like ME in the first place is that there was nothing like it at that scale.
Here’s the thing though, when you’re CPU-limited (and a lot of the games that struggle on current gen are) the upgrade won’t do much.
You should expect better resolution, ray tracing and possibly better image quality if devs implement PSSSR and it’s better than whatever upscale solution they’d use instead. Maybe if a game is pretty close to hittong its frame target it’ll give you a smoother performance but don’t expect much last that
Even if we were in a world where PCIE 4.0 SSDs faster than PS5’s internal SSD (and 5.0s that are twice as fast that are launching this year) didn’t exist, what is the PS5 doing with all that speed that couldn’t be done on PC?
If you want to say the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles punch above their price bracket, that’s very true, specially at launch; but no console has been more capable than a contemporary PC since the Xbox 360 (or arguably the PS3)
If Microsoft is working on an enhanced model it’s a new development, their console development plans leaked during the Activision purchase thing, it had their next gen plans and the digital only Series X but no enhanced model.
Is that the same magical loading that Ratchet and Forbidden West DLC had that made it impossible to run anywhere else but then it came to PC where it runs better?
If they have something shouldn’t it be on the document they shared with developers? I just wouldn’t expect it unless you really wanna risk disappointment.
People can be stupid for free. In fact, they’re the best people to sell right wing ideology to. And overpriced food supplements that will make you a real man.
