Do not trust anything I write down. I have this horrible habit of not checking sources.

  • And both arguments are valid. However, when discussing privacy with somebody “who has nothing to hide”, the security concerns argument usually holds more ground.

    “Fine, you don’t mind microsoft and their 961 partners to know about your computer usage patterns. But how about the criminals which will have your data as well? You may trust microsoft with your data - “because they have it already” - but do you trust each of these 961 partners? Do you trust all their privacy policies? I have read some. They are horrendus and allow sharing with third parties. Do you trust their privacy and security?”

    Relationships are no jokes. Neither is racism. Depending on how I feel about her, the video might leak. I would certainly not stay.

    Big red flag to me.

    Edit: I have broadened my mind. I had not considdered receiving such a video from somebody whom of I am certain has no racist mind at all.

    In that case I would reciprocate by deleting the footage.














  • the plants are cross bred for generations. Each time the seeds of the plants with the best desired properties are kept.

    the seeds can also be treated (see "feminizing marijuana seeds) with chemicals to produce certain traits.

    the producers of these seeds (like monsanto, bayer, basf, …) have large R&D groups where the dna of the seeds can be further tracked and modified if required.

    these producers have large green houses just for breeding the plants and collecting the desired seeds.

    these seeds are patented. The plants produce fruits to specifications. To protect the intellectual property, patents and business, they are made not to produce further offspring, so the farmer needs to buy the seeds year after year.

    another trait that’s being developped in the plants, for example, is making the plant immune to glyphosate, allowing the farmer to wastefully spray the herbicide on the field. It will kill all plants except for the desired crops.
