It's not really a conspiracy anymore, per se, of how things are designed to make you addicted. But you can conquer these addictions, not learn to live with them.
The first thing I quit for good, except for Easter, Christmas, and Halloween is candy. Refined sugar hits that spot in your brain.
Then, with the grace of God, I quit porn years ago. It was a bit difficult at first, but anybody can quit that jew filth if they try.
I recently am coming up on one year without video games, and if you think that would be easy, honestly, it was harder than quitting porn. Having come to the end of that one year, I will trying out Minecraft for the first time, having shown to myself I can do this with a bit of grace.
I will be taking a year off social media with the start of the 40 days before Easter, also called Lent. Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Substack, this backwater...they all want your eyeballs and you have come to love that dopamine hit of some notifications. You know it and I know it.
This will be the last thread create or comment on before logging off this cul de sac of suck next Wednesday. I might come back after a year, but I might not.
Don't let Silicon Valley rule your consciences.

70% of it is grown in Africa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_bean
Lead and Cadmium have very different contamination patterns and sources. Cadmium (Cd) is taken up by the roots of the cacao trees and deposited in parts of the fruits. Mitigating this contamination includes changing the Ph of the soil, switching out tree stocks, reducing metals contamination from fertilizers and other inputs including water.
Lead has a more surprising origin. Lead contamination occurs from lead contamination at various stages of cacao production including the handling stage when cacao beans are removed from the pods, which are covered in very sticky mucilage, and fermented and dried often on the ground or on the side of the road. The origins of lead are generally human caused and may arise from the burning of leaded gasoline and diesel fuel, from leaded paint, the burning of plastics and/or garbage, the operation of smelters and other industrial processes, use of fertilizers, and emissions from coal-fired power plants, among others. Lead moves through air and gets mixed with dust particles ending up on the ground adhering to the sticky beans. These lead particles are primarily introduced during the harvesting, drying, and fermenting processes, and remain on the chocolate beans during transport to manufacturers, where they can contaminate chocolate batches during other manufacturing steps, including from deshelling and other handling processes.
Square the circle, so to speak.
My take, again, is that Trump is a boomer evangelical protestant who is reflexively pro-Israel like most protestants who marinate in their Schofield Bible, but not pro-jew per se.
Most women would rather be Elon's 3rd wife rather than the only wife of a Walmart shift manager.
If plural marriage ever becomes legal, it will have massive dysgenic consequences. Older men, the ones with the money, have lower quality sperm. Even if they are banging young hotties, this leads to a decline in the quality of the offspring.
Luckily, plural marriage isn't normal, nor are there that many billionaires with impregnation fetishes.
Lastly, without some sort of primogeniture, it wouldn't be long until you had some sort of violence issues.
He won't be dead in two weeks like Joan Rivers.
Trump prioritizes white South African resettlement to America.
How did the force (((Claudia Sheinbaum))) of Mexico to send troops to secure the border?
Theories?
Best guess, he is a boomer protestant who supports supports Israel not "the jews" per se.
What possible purpose, or gain, could China obtain from putting in a back door on hospital monitoring equipment that displays a user’s vitals?

At least the NSA has the good sense to put backdoors in important software, like your graphics cards.
lol
Everyone who is not a farmer or a miner is ultimately a "middleman." Yes, even the tradesmen fixing cars and HVAC system, much less lawyers, bankers, and politicians.
Ultimately, is only the great bounty of the earth, giving us a surplus of food and raw materials, that makes human civilization possible.
There's nothing you can do about it. So why should you care?
It's proof that massive changes happen to the earth with zero human input, so it's a good point to bring up with those who say humans cause climate change.
Also, we're fucked if the polarity shifts too much and too fast, as a civilization that is. Pray that God is merciful to us.

Trump and Musk are going after the money first...because in a unitary executive, he can. The political appointees are secondary, but that also happening to a lesser extent.
Reforming voting with same day and voter ID? You need 60 in the Senate to do that.
