Inside the Junk Food Lobby's Plans to Derail RFK's Agenda

RealClearInvestigations has learned that representatives of companies that make snack foods, sugary beverages, and cooking oils are already meeting to discuss how to thwart the reform agenda of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the former consumer rights attorney Trump has said he will nominate to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
...
Although much of the early criticism of Kennedy’s nomination has focused on his skepticism regarding some vaccines, the nominee is a longtime critic of the food industry, which he says is a leading contributor to America’s obesity epidemic. In recent months, he has called for a crackdown on food additives, limits on certain crop protection chemicals, stronger guidelines regarding what he says are conflicts of interest among regulators and business, and a review of any substance causing, what he argues, Americans to be “mass poisoned by big pharma and big food.”

The vaccine stuff really sucks but maybe there's a silver lining? It would be amazing to see a big crackdown on stuff like corn syrup being added to everything.

New Stalker 2 thread

I'm bummed out! It's not great. It's not even good. Maybe a year of patches and community mods can fix it but it's a hot mess right now. Bugs everywhere / broken quests. The AI seems missing. You'll clear a camp and then 5 dogs spawn right behind you and kill you as you loot the first dead enemy. The controls stink. It runs badly on UE5.

If anyone has any tips or fun stories about it I'm down to hear them... this was like my most anticipated game on GP this year and it's a letdown.

Good grief. I’m new to this mortgage thing. But ours was sold again. The 4th time. We have only had it for 5 months, lol.

This can’t go on for 30 years. When does it stop?

When this becomes true due to AI (like AI that creates its own social media accounts and those accounts go on to post and create their own accounts, etc.), will you still engage with the Internet in the same way?

I think if I knew for certain that like 90% of content was AI and bot generated I would not really get as much enjoyment out of the consumption. I wonder if there'll be a movement back towards "craft" human-made content.

It always gives me the Black Mirror shivers to think of engaging with an Internet that's basically all automated algorithms and AI (I assume a large portion already is).

25% off currently as well. The newest patch, 1.4.0 apparently fixes a lot of stuff, and gets rid of stealth almost across the board from what I'm reading. You can still do it, but it's not "a stealth game" anymore..

This Title Update brings changes to combat and stealth allowing for greater player choice, the ability to now keep pick-up weapons in more situations, visual options to allow for a sharper image and much more to improve your journey across the galaxy.
