Not if you care about that fact. I may think most of the anti-GMO arguments are nonsense, but other people care about these things.
And we already have not one, but two labels that tell you if something doesn't have GMO food: GMO-free and Organic. The later even has a USDA definition.
If we use your reasoning, then we should label any non-kosher food as treif and any non-halal food as haram. Yet nobody actually does that. Instead they simply label it if it meets the demands of those religions. There are two dead simple ways you can avoid GMO food with present labeling:
- Buy organic - Buy GMO free
Food manufacturers prominently label both of these terms. Both of them are a waste of time (and in the case of organic, a waste of money) but don't let that stop you if you find that your god gets angry at you for eating GMO crop.
In addition, I note that none of the chucklefucks claiming that breeding and GMO are the same thing
It occurs to me that I haven't ever seen anybody claim this. What has been mentioned however is that the argument against GMO often amounts to "we don't know, therefore bad" while completely disregarding the fact that natural reproduction produces a LOT more unknowns, and in addition to that, also disregarding the fact that GMO changes are precisely known.
Even if you think that GMO is the greatest thing since sliced bread, you pretty much have to accept the argument that most GMO is Monsanto-related, and that Monsanto is literally evil.
In the future we might call this argument "the strawman that broke the back of the green revolution". Since I live in a first world country, I don't have to worry about starving any time soon though.
Regardless, if you'd rather pull the product than relabel it then you know in advance that your product can't survive with an accurate label. People are stupid, but tough - that's just the way the market is.
The label isn't less accurate if it's omitted. Whether or not it's GMO is completely immaterial to the product. Another analogy is requiring mention of whether or not somebody died in a house prior to you selling it. Mentioning that fact will probably reduce its value, however if they never find out then there's no harm at all, and even if they do, there's still no harm, other than maybe it bothers the buyer's religious view, but nonetheless all 50 states in the US have laws preventing civil suits against people who don't mention this (or other immaterial facts, like whether a previous resident had AIDS.)
They aren't concealing anything. Food manufacturers already make it a point to label it non-GMO if it isn't, because they know that people who follow the food religion will prefer it, even if it means paying more. The same applies to kosher and halal labels.
Anyways, requiring a GMO label is intended for nothing else than to stigmatize. It is every bit as asinine as the California proposal a few years back to require cell phones have a radiation output level, which is retarded because cell phones emit all of zero sieverts, but some dumb fucks think it's a wonderful idea to have to put manufacturers in the position of making phones that emit less EM energy, and for no good reason whatsoever.
This is the same plan as those wanting GMO labeling, not to mention that fighting GMO food is dumb and even counterproductive from an environmental perspective.
I'm always in favor of seeing celebrity gossip "news" sites in pain. Honestly, who gives a fuck about what time Tom Cruise took a shit last night? If you read celebrity news because it gives you something to gossip to your friends about, then you are a piece of shit. This is (even if it's not gossip) by far the worst form of "journalism" that exists, and people have to have no life at all and/or a huge inferiority complex to even care about it.
I don't know what the "extend" part will look like yet (I'm guessing proprietary API additions) but I already know that Microsoft intends for edge extensions to become a walled garden (that is, you can't install any extensions without Microsoft's blessing) which is what the extinguish part of the plan might end up being.
Few people know this, but Hillary Clinton is the final boss of the Democratic party. Also called the Queen of Corruption, she is currently a level 100 Democrat. All level 100 Democrats have the the Corrupt Soul ability, which allows them to corrupt anybody 10 levels below them. If you want proof of this, Obama was a level 90 Democrat when he was elected. He's currently level 100, but because Hillary is a raid boss, her stats count as 3 levels above him, thus making her the final boss.
Bernie of course stands no chance against her, because he's only a level 34 Democrat with quest greens. Hillary's ass is so big, she can literally one shot him.
That's a little pedantic. This is a US-centric site. It should be assumed unless otherwise stated.
Well if you're from Europe, you typically do a few things:
- Identify yourself as "the rest of the world" even though the actual rest of the world doesn't typically share the same cultural values as Europe. - Get angry when any website, even a US based website, assumes the reader is living in the US. (Notice how people from the US aren't bothered if, for example, The Guardian assumes the reader is in England.) - Assume that every country in the world, except the United States, shares European political views.
I live near Tempe, Arizona, a city that Google had just legislatively cleared to officially make one of their Fiber cities. Just after that happened, Cox sued the city to prevent it from happening.
Meanwhile, guess what's currently going on? Just about every neighborhood in that city has signs near it saying that Cox is beginning a fiber rollout. That city, and that city alone, and none of the surrounding ones. There were already a few deployments in the more affluent areas in neighboring towns, however in Tempe it seems every neighborhood is getting it.
My guess is that this is one of Cox's cash cow markets and they dare not risk losing it, so they use the courts to make sure that they get ahead of the game.
That might be true, I haven't used the stock launcher in a long time. However last time I did, it was present. They didn't have it in the Google Now launcher (if you swiped far left you'd see a search though) which I think may be the default launcher for Nexus devices these days. I'm not sure though because the first thing I do is install Nova launcher and have it pull all of my layout settings from google drive. There isn't a google search bar to be found anywhere on my phone.
Windows Phone fans always seem to love what apps are available on their platform, until the developer discontinues the app. Then suddenly "Their app sucks and I've already switched to something else anyways. Something about them as a company suck and they're dead to me." This is the delusion that Thurott is talking about, and if you ever peruse any place where WP fans comment at a time like this, they're always full of posts of this nature.
It really depends on how they do this. On consoles, FPS games just flat out don't work without aim assist. On PC's, aim assist is typically considered cheating. If they give everybody aim assist, the console users might have a fighting chance, however if nobody has aim assist then the console users would probably quit in frustration.
Based upon "Anonymous" past actions, with a huge focus on defending and promoting freedom of speech
I've never really seen that out of Anonymous. Most of their actions seem aimed at shutting people up. Just name any one of their campaigns and I'll tell you who they're trying to silence. In the case of Trump, it's pretty obvious.
What search bar? You mean the one found in Google's stock launcher? Hardly any OEMs actually use that. Google does pay them commissions for searches done in their own launchers (and other apps) though, which is why their launchers might have a search bar, but there isn't a requirement for it to be there. HTC M9 doesn't have one, for example.
As for Google Maps and Play Services, Android would break if they weren't present. For example, I use Endomondo to track my cycling, and Endomondo uses the Google Maps API for all kinds of stuff that it does. If you pulled out Google Maps, you'd invariably break Endomondo as well as a ton of other location aware apps. You'd also break just about every app there is if you removed Play Services.

I'm not a Republican, I'm just showing asshats like you that voting for the corrupted party that you enamor has its obvious downsides.

I think it's more important than that. You're assuming the food quality is no different. Some may not be but tomatoes definitely are.
You're right! And in the few cases where the quality is different, it's actually better. See this white paper for example:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pu...
That still doesn't help your argument though.
I think it's more likely that most people just don't particularly care for anime.
I'm in favor of GMO technology and didn't know a lot of this stuff. Well said.
Even if you think that GMO is the greatest thing since sliced bread, you pretty much have to accept the argument that most GMO is Monsanto-related, and that Monsanto is literally evil.
In the future we might call this argument "the strawman that broke the back of the green revolution". Since I live in a first world country, I don't have to worry about starving any time soon though.
Actually Democrats are the worst offenders in this department:

Why do you think it stigmatizes anything?
Seriously? /facepalm

An easy solution, perhaps, would be a mechanism that charges the battery as you walk.
