The sooner you switch away the better. Yes, it’s a bit of a hassle, but it’s a hassle you deal with once, unlike the gimmicky bullshit Microsoft adds to Windows every few years in a desperate attempt to boost sales.

This administration is too stupid to write coherently without the aid of AI. It’s a way for them to dress up their low IQ ideas.

Oh boy, I can’t wait until I have to submit my government id to some random “age verification” provider just so I can read Oglaf.

I wonder when some large company is going to do the math and realize it would be cheaper to take out a hit than to suffer through wildly swinging tariffs for the foreseeable future.

I’ve been reluctant to seek out the Lenire since a number of people claim it made their tinnitus worse

Did you use the Lenire? I was hoping the Susan Shore device would be available by now since it supposedly had a much better study backing it but it seems to be stuck in limbo. I’m not even sure if it’s been submitted to the FDA yet.

Because there’s a literal army of China boosters all over social media. China also controls the social media app most popular with that demographic. “Nobody knows why” my ass.

New comment by inverted_flag in "'Second chance': convicted US chemist Charles Lieber moves to Chinese university"

inverted_flag — Sat, 17 May 2025 23:14:21 +0000

> Between 2012 and 2017, Lieber received around US$200,000 for work at the Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in China, funds that he allegedly hid from the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS). He also told US investigators that he was not associated with a Chinese recruitment programme, called the Thousand Talents Plan, when he had been selected through it to lead a laboratory at the WUT.

He made his choice long ago.

I think the opposite is true, and that China knows there won’t be serious repercussions from this.
