One side says your silence on social empowers the darkness.
The other side says your lack of silence conveys your need to have a public position on everything when no one is asking.
If insanity is doing the same thing while expecting different results...
And we’ve spent years hoping and praying for things to change, and they aren’t...
Then continuing to do the same things the way we’ve been doing them is insane.
Woman who's raised horses in Ohio for 30 years: “I've never had to deal with these many ticks.”
“I can't take the tick situation anymore. The tick situation in this state, there are ticks everywhere.”
Nearly everyone points the finger at Bill Gates. Why? The Gates Foundation is funding tick research.
They even backed a biotech, Oxitec, to study genetically altering cattle ticks.
Farmers say they're finding whole “boxes of ticks” on their land.
People argue that because Gates funds tick research, a surge in ticks could benefit vaccine and product sales.
There’s a well-documented tick explosion hitting Ohio this spring (of 2026), especially for livestock owners.
Ohio now has a new tick species — from basically one medically important species 20 years ago to five today, some of which expand rapidly.
Lyme cases have exploded: 40 in 2010 → 415 in 2020 → 2,800+ in 2025, with 2026 already looking high.
Keep in mind, a Lyme vaccine is in development — no ticks, no market for it.
You're not going to believe who's making it: Pfizer and Valneva
@SNAFUPERMAN@SpaceX People have also been using chemical warfare since WWI, so in and of itself, longevity of use is not really a logical argument supporting safety.
@Buzzard2002@SpaceX Its impressive that you hold no concerns in your life except the one single issue of nuclear war. What is it like being the least burdens person on earth?
Per Grok:
Exhaust effects depend on propellant. Solid rockets release chlorine & alumina that deplete ozone. Falcon 9 (kerosene) adds black carbon. Starship's methalox (methane + LOX) mainly produces water vapor & CO2—far less ozone-depleting than older tech, though water can indirectly affect it slightly. At today's ~200-300 global launches/year, impact is tiny. Studies project that 2,000+/year could thin ozone ~0.3% globally (up to 4% seasonally over Antarctica), slowing its recovery from CFCs. Reentries add NOx too. SpaceX's multi-site plan spreads this out, but growth needs monitoring.
