Who decides what is a conspiracy theory? Who decides what is a "crackpot" theory that should be suppressed? Who defines "alt-right"? Who decides who gets labelled "alt-right"? Who decides the difference between honest criticism and "hate speech"?
As a random example: The theory of continental drift took almost 50 years to gain any kind of acceptance after it was proposed. If YouTube had been around then would they have suppressed Alfred Wegener's video channel because it was a crackpot conspiracy theory?
Not to say that all (or any) conspiracy theory channels have any reality behind them but WHO DECIDES? Why should I trust some lefty lib-tard communist SJW censor at YOUTUBE to make that decision for ME? What about a conspiracy theory channel that claimed the Trump-Russia collusion was just a hoax invented by the Democrats? Would that be censored too? Hmmm?
Will it show me a horizontal split screen of the same document so I can look at and edit it in two places at the same time like Homesite did 20 fucking years ago? No? Then fuck off.
Actually you and everyone else should read up on how the EU parliament actually works. The EU parliament cannot propose laws, only veto proposed laws. Who gets to actually propose the laws? An unseen group of unelected bureaucrats that are not under any elected control. Who runs them? Who knows? George Soros and company I guess. The EU is built along the lines of the Soviet style politburo. It is designed to give the ILLUSION of democracy while keeping actual control in the hands of a select, hidden few. Welcome the the Soviet Socialist Republic of Europe...
These were NOT "movie reviews before the movie was even released". This was the "Want to see it or not" score which shows interest in seeing the movie for when it DOES open. The score was tanking because Brie Larson went full man hating SJW third wave feminist in her comments before and during the press tour for the movie. Fans disliked her man hating opinion and expressed their OWN opinion of her and her Mary Sue character and her SJW politics by saying they weren't going to see the movie. They were NOT trolls leaving fake movie reviews, they were (formerly) paying customers voicing their opinion of the MCU's infestation by SJWs by saying they didn't want to watch the movie when it DID get released. The main stream media keep lying about 'fake review bombing' - which it isn't - because they are all left wing SJW intersectionalists themselves and they are trying to spin these posters as trolls because it backs their biased narrative. That it is an intentionally misleading phrasing just shows their complete lack of integrity. RT removed this because they probably buckled to pressure from Disney/Marvel because they are owned by Fandango which sells movie tickets and even if it wasn't direct pressure from the studios, they certainly know which side their bread is buttered on and they CANNOT be objective about it.
So... experimental genetic manipulation over some self discipline on your eating habits? What could possibly go wrong?
As to long term effects of keto diet: you are right - we only have about the last 100,000 years of human evolution as a trial. We should wait another 100,000 just to be safe and instead stick with the over processed, refined sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial sweetener, carbohydrate and empty calorie diet that has only been around for the last 50 or 60 years and has made everybody obese and diabetic. Yeah, sure that sounds good too.
This is a desperation move because the entire diet, obesity and diabetes industry has utterly failed us for the last 100 years.
The whole eat less/move more idea (cut calories in, burn more with exercise) does NOT have lasting effects. Studies as far back as the early 1900's have shown this. Every major study around the world that has looked at this has shown this is the case.
It's complicated and this is a super abbreviated explanation but: Insulin creates fat High sugar (carbs, carbs, carbs) create insulin. Excess insulin over time causes insulin resistance - meaning MORE insulin is needed to lower blood sugar, causing more fat.
The body has a certain 'set point' that it likes to have for its weight like a thermostat in a house. Too much food causing weight gain? Body burns off the extra naturally. Too little food? Body does EVERYTHING it can to preserve existing weight, starting with it lowering body temp and other things. Insulin resistance over time causes this weight set point to go up and up and up and.. obesity and diabetes type 2 here we come.
So eating less just causes the body to burn less. No weight loss. Moving more: the body burns way more energy just maintaining body temp and basic functions day to day than it does with exercising. You need to exercise a LOT to get any real calorie burn. And if you burn more in exercise, the body lowers other activity elsewhere to compensate so on a daily basis you don't actually burn much more energy. Other health benefits exist so you should exercise but weight loss ain't one of them.
Ketogenic diet = switching the body to burn fat, not sugars. This reduces actual fat and over time will lower the weight set point so the body will KEEP the new weight by itself. Intermittent Fasting = not eating for varying periods. This causes certain effects in the way the body handles cell growth and calorie burning and works with Keto diet well to lose weight.

I think you need to pay better attention to Canadian Forces fighting record and Canadians in general. We punch way above our weight class and have done so since long before WWI.
Some historical context: From Captain J.B. Paulin in a speech given at the Empire Club of Canada, Toronto, Ontario, on May 23, 1918.
"The officer to whom I previously referred said, "There seems to be a fear back here in Canada that the Germans are going to make a frontal attack upon the Canadians, but the Canadians at the Front are afraid they won't (laughter) and," he continued, "they will get the biggest reception they ever got and pay the biggest price"; and it is interesting to us to know that the only part of the line that the Canadians fought for so strenuously and won which is still in the hands of the Allies, is that which is being held by the Canadians themselves. (Applause.) They are called "The storm troops of the British Empire" by the Kaiser, and his own "storm troops" are the biggest men of his various divisions; and when he speaks of the Canadians as being the "storm troops," it means that in his estimation, they are the best troops of the British Empire. I think the Kaiser has come more nearly to the truth there than he has ever done in anything else."
And this: "THE CANADIANS WERE MARKED OUT AS STORM TROOPS; FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WAR THEY WERE BROUGHT IN TO HEAD THE ASSAULT IN ONE GREAT BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. WHENEVER THE GERMANS FOUND THE CANADIAN CORPS COMING INTO THE LINE THEY PREPARED FOR THE WORST."
--BRITISH PRIME MINISTER LLOYD GEORGE, AFTER THE CAPTURE OF VIMY RIDGE
And that history has continued in every military engagement we've been involved in since then.
So, we are nice and polite to people who treat us well. But don't piss us off - we WILL fuck you up.
They found dark matter that was half the missing matter that isn't dark matter but was too dark which is why it was missing and that matters but we still haven't found dark matter.

I use PostgreSQL as my main DB of choice and have done so for years. Yes there can be certain hangups with stored procedures when it comes to doing something on the back end (ie: NOT through your nicely programmed front end) but there is also the trade off in data integrity.
Two points: 1) I use stored procedures mostly to keep data integrity throughout the DB where a simple FK isn't enough. I got the concept years ago - I think inspired from Joe Celko - to NEVER put data integrity in the front end. Or specifically, to never RELY on the front end to maintain data integrity. Front ends change, get updated, rewritten, etc. The database is the last line of defense where your data is concerned. The DB is where you keep the data integrity. Mostly that is correct table/relationship design and correct use of FKs but if that calls for stored procedures so be it.
2) Someone earlier made this point too but I agree - sometimes it just makes way more sense to use backend procedures for something. Once compiled they are far less overhead than doing it in a front end usually. Plus - again - if your front end changes or you have multiple interfaces that hit the same database then why write (and maintain) that functionality in separate areas when the single stored procedure will do it?

The knowledge that it has WON best in show by CNET is what was being censored.
