Exactly, he could just be a cop.
So still a reason to break up with him, but a different one

Well twango and dopper are different. Indigo is kinda like magenta, and could be described as a blurple. But dopper is more like gwave, which can be described as an experience

You mean indigo?

If you have experienced something that can’t be currently explained by science, it doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t believe there isn’t a scientific explanation for it we just haven’t found yet.
For example, if in an imaginary scenario you and 5 other credible people you trust and know experience, idk, an apparition that looked human appearing in full detail appear out of nowhere, say “I am real”, and then vanish, would you suddenly lose all your reason and no longer trust any science at all? If so, you are not scientifically minded at all, and would contribute no significant progress to science with such rigidity.
Someone who practices science, and seeks to advance our knowledge into that which is unknown, would instead first try to rule out possible known causes, such as by confirming with others if they saw that too and to immediately make sure no one says anything, then instruct them to all write down what they experienced. After confirming indeed that everyone had the same experience (and this ruling out multiple known causes), you’d probably inspect the environment for any possible other explanation.
Finding none, would that mean your work and understandings of science would no longer be credible? If so, then you never understood the point of science and research. Your work would be tainted not by having experienced something many consider paranormal/supernatural, but by your inability to understand that it’s simply yet another unknown phenomenon that perhaps can be explained in the future with further research and advancements in technology (after all, we already struggle figuring out testing intelligence in things that are known such as animals - in something we can’t even easily observe, it’s currently not possible). Unwillingness to entertain a widely reported phenomenon makes you no different than early scientists who refused to consider that reports of what we now know are pandas and gorillas to perhaps be something. It is actually that thinking which holds back humanity, rather than advances it.

If you’re being targeted by 5 eyes and you and your group don’t know enough about tech to set up your own local communication servers or going serverless / not using internet, you’re already caught or known about

Not all English speakers are from the “west”, since it’s a lingua franca.

You literally put in that the only option in developed countries is factory farmed meat, which is also not true. There’s even European countries where the factory farming of the USA isn’t allowed.
-
you imply by saying only developed countries have this option, as if developing countries don’t, and for some reason bring up fucking scavanging as one of developing countries alternatives? Really? You think that lowly of them that just classic old ranching didn’t come to your mind??? The fuck dude. You just pulled a “those kids in Africa” or “the doctor is the male nurse” moment even if you didn’t mean to. You clearly haven’t traveled much.

we were talking about chickens not beef.

The ones where of the aphid strays too far from the closed in pack it becomes an instant snack (hey that rhymes).
At least we cook our chickens first (/s)

You vegan? Apparently y’all are fine with meat too according to some:
- Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 4 months ago:
The majority of humans don’t scavange meat from already dead animals, even in poorer countries wtf
Soy Salvadoreño y nadie en mi familia ni los vecinos ni el pueblo estaban comiendo animales muertos ni cuando tenían zapatos. Chele morongon, que crees tan bajo de los pobres???

Those ants are farming aphids. They keep them in close quarters. Ants are nature. Ergo the meme

🤣 go to the Lemmy vegan community and say that. I’m sure you’ll easily get 99 upvotes and only a single downvote

Image Well if the ants can do it, why can’t we?
(Btw, I’m opposed to caged chicken egg cultivation, and even had my own chicken in the past before I couldn’t anymore for eggs. Now I just pay the premium and researched which were the most ethical eggs in the store available. Happy hens make better eggs anyway. I’m just pointing out we’re not the only ones that raise animals for consumption in nature).
- Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 4 months ago:
No it wasn’t.
Otherwise humans wouldn’t have been smart enough to figure out farming in the first place.
Also humans were already humans when farming was invented. We’re not pokemon.

Yup, momentary lapse in memory. Thanks for the correction

Now I’m wondering if I should switch or wait to see if he’s ousted.
On the one hand, and least it’s a Swiss non-profit organization now that’s open sourced on the code.
On the other hand, the CEO support JD Fucking Vance and now none of the data feels secure despite what they say about their tech.
The most charitable interpretation is that he’s pulling an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” move, but considering Proton AG is located in Switzerland, and not the USA, that would be a profoundly stupid move since Big Tech doesn’t have the same influence in the EU as it does in the USA.
The crypto shit was already making me wary in the first place too, though knowing Proton’s previous financial difficulties I kinda understood why they might make a paranoid decision to have a crypto back up.
At this rate, I’m really gonna have to host my own server, aren’t I?
I think instead I’ll wait and see if they sack him as CEO. I’ll give them 3 months to respond and decide while I start backing everything up for migration.

*A flower with seeds, unless you want a bunch of sterile future humans too.
Growing an embryo is easy. Growing an embryo into a fetus is hard. Growing a fetus into a baby is still very very unknown. There’s a LOT of signal pathways to figure out with many hormone mixtures as well. It wasn’t until recently that only one aspect of sex development was even somewhat figured out:
www.sciencedaily.com/releases/…/181215141333.htm
And that’s not even getting into more complicated things. It’s still not understood why some people are born heterosexual, others homosexual, bisexual, etc. But it is thought to have something to do with development in the womb (look up how the odds of being a gay man go up the more kids a woman has). If something like orientation is affected by womb development, what else is? Intelligence? Empathy? Facial Features?
And if you get it wrong, the result can be unethical. You could end up with many humans who have no empathy, or as I mentioned, sterile, or whoops everyone is hetero now, or all of them have severe learning disabilities.
And if you get it right, guess what the rich will do? Gattica btw.
A lot of progress has been done, yes, but there’s still way, way more. People forget the human genome wasn’t even mapped out until the early 2000s, and less than 50 years ago people could still smoke in a lot of hospitals.
- Comment on Anon makes a troubling connection 5 months ago:
Just want to point out, even with billions, an artificial womb would still not be seen for decades.
Even something like growing a kidney has been incredibly difficult. A whole human would require essentially first fully understanding the whole process of pregnancy and how a fetus affects the body, and then maybe artificial organoids as well. It would probably be easier to figure out how to grow a brain first.
Basically this is like the old saying of how you can’t make 9 women make 1 baby in 1 month.

Wait, are you using multiple accounts to support your argument? The OP comment is under a different username but you just responded to that person as if you made that initial content presenting the data.
