Some friends own a farm in Pennsylvania. They will tell you their food is "grown organically" but they can't say it's "organic" because that is an official certification endowed by the USDA. To be "organic" many requirements must be met (which they do), the last of which is to pay a hefty fee to the USDA (which they don't). The way they phrased it, the fee is so high they can't afford it.
So all their food is organic in every way except the name. It would be illegal for them to even say it's organic aloud.
In case there was any uncertainty that organic food is a scam, it is! The extra markup you pay goes straight to The Man. Fuck the USDA!
I used to pitch signal's encryption first. I got into so many pointless arguments that I stopped even mentioning encryption. What's signal? Its an app with group chat and video calls. That's all you need to know.
Two of my friends independently discovered the secret to converting their families to signal. Make it a premium form of communication. Tell people close to you that you check your whatsapp or facebook occasionally because of the spam volume... The best way to reach me is on signal.
Had a kid this year and we don't post pix of him to social media. They all get sent to a signal group. You want the baby pix? You get signal! Even his 90-year-old great grandma is in it.
They did make the at protocol. You can self-host your bluesky.
