Is the EU Good or Bad for Developers?

The report was produced to reinforce a decision to ban caffeine from being used to kill snails and slugs around cabbage and potato patches.

OK, now that is some next level government meddling. 😂

They've already done this to fries. Essentially, when you now get fries at a restaurant or any random chipper, they're served basically raw because the EU has mandated that fried food causes cancer.

I'm feeling a tiny bit better about living in the People's Republic of California now.

Fried food can cause cancer, but what they don’t say is everything we do has a risk to benefit ratio, like crossing a road, driving a car, drinking coffee. They feed you the FEAR. It’s psychological propaganda 101.

😄 hadn't heard that one before. But yes, I'm sure you're proud of the fact that USB cables cause cancer in California (and California only) 😂

YES, THIS +1000, you nailed it. ANYTHING can cause cancer and ANYTHING can kill you. Heck, LIFE can and WILL kill you at some point. But the question is, as you rightly pointed out: Will I live in FEAR until I die, or have FUN while "slowly dying"? 😃 That balance indeed has been shifted dramatically to the "fear" side in recent decades, and the trend is still accelerating.

I find this so frustrating that I did what I always do when I find something frustrating that I can't change -- let an AI make a song about it for me 😃 ("lyrics" are my own, 5 minutes while sitting on the shitter. It shows!)
