As a kid I always thought a lot of stuff taught was like, duh, so obvious. It took being thrown in the adult world to see hmm... I guess... not obvious enough???

that's the same people who later get to helm companies and say "who the fuck needs market research when you have the force of will"
AI is a great idea and everyone in our company must use it!
It's fun in my organisation. We get "Use AI, it's the future, your manager will assess your use of AI" alongside "only use the AI tools on this list" with a list of tools completely useless to my, or my team's possible needs, along with "don't give AI any sensitive information" where everything my team works on is IT systems which makes everything too sensitive to be given to copilot

IMO: GMOs are sus. Fuck the rest though.
Most of the foods you eat are GMOs and have been for centuries because that’s another term for selective breeding. Modern GMO tech simply speeds up the process.

The problem with GMOs isn't the GMOs themselves, it's why they've been GM'd. If they've been modified to be "roundup resistant" so they can dump a truckload of glyphosate on them, or something similar to that, that might be a problem.
If I'm buying fresh produce it's not a problem, I can can make double sure to wash it properly. But if it's processed food, I definitely do not trust food manufacturers to get all that shit off the vegetables.
Looking for GMO free canned fruit/vegetables, frozen fruit/vegetables, or anything with fruit/vegetables in it is, in my opinion, a good idea. But a fresh cucumber? Just wash it.
