Ancient Greek Historian Herodotus (484-425/413 BC), often criticized for inaccuracy in his Histories, but on the customs of Persians is regarded as accurate. He is also accurate in his description of birthdays as important annual events as Persians and also of instituting serving of desserts after meal. He is also correct in his passage in same chapter on Persian love of wine and their policy of making decisions drunk and then reevaluating same when sober.

In 1925, Coca-Cola released a souvenir shaped like a swastika, a symbol of good luck in the U.S. and India at that time. This item was actually a watch fob, used for advertising before the swastika became associated with the Nazis.

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.

The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.

This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .

You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.

Going to have to learn some new tools.

@raucao idk, from what i have seen of health there is never a 100%. It's always tradeoffs..

@raucao i have found a significant drop in tooth issues since i turned quasi carnivore. Not recommending that necessarily but the point is it would be better to attack root causes. There's a paper on this lemme see if i can find it. Then ofc there's weston price

@raucao because of the associated risks you pointed out for example the gut biome. You're introducing a genetically modified foreign species into your eco system. Default position is thats dangerous.

@raucao imho not worth it, unless it is a derivative of a traditional practice. Easier to just clean your mouth regularly

Hello Mr. Stallman, I have a question.
Should people be taking mRNA vaccines to end the COVID-19 pandemic? I understand the vaccines are based on mRNA "code" which is in fact proprietary.

Is it ethical to take a vaccine if it is going to end the pandemic and save millions of lives, yet the vaccine itself is based on proprietary code?

I think this is a very important question.

@Aether this entire idea of invasive species is a fake problem made up by greenies
