we’re already almost at the point where biometric tech will make all that irrelevant, especially facial recognition. to really fly under the radar in the future you’re gonna need to hack security systems and erase your data every so often.

Old people come into contact with all that stuff too, not just young people.

Cancer deaths are consistently declining in the US. American Cancer Society's 2023 report

Despite the pandemic, and in contrast with other leading causes of death, the cancer death rate continued to decline from 2019 to 2020 (by 1.5%), contributing to a 33% overall reduction since 1991 and an estimated 3.8 million deaths averted.

if that were the case, you'd expect more cancer in older people as well, not just young people.

thankfully someone actually read the article (which is pretty bad in terms of accurately representing its citations). One of the other articles cited in OP says:

Research published in BMJ Oncology found there had been 3.26 million cases in 2019 - 79% more than in 1990. But experts cautioned against reading too much into the findings. The research did not take into account a 40% rise in the total population, while factors such as better reporting may also have played a role. The team, of experts from around the world, including the US, China and the UK, agreed no firm conclusions could be drawn.

Deaths (as opposed to "incidents") is a more accurate metric to track since it's more reliable in terms of detection (obviously) and reporting:

Cancer killed more than a million under-50s in 2019, a rise of over 25% - but with the 40% population rise, this could actually indicate a falling death rate.

She means disease in the macro sense, like America is diseased. People are no different than they were any time before, just now they are being manipulated by their emotions and biases with profit-driven 24 hour news and social media.

The trumpets in my family, aunt and uncle, are different. they pretend to be affable and loving, act like they want to see us, but every time we get together they CAN NOT HELP themselves from talking shit about liberals or whatever the latest fox propaganda is. And they know my parents, my wife and I are left to varying degrees. So I finally said fuck it, clearly you do not respect me, so I don't need your bullshit in my life anymore.

The U.S., France and other allies jointly called Wednesday for an “immediate” 21-day cease-fire to allow for negotiations in the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has killed more than 600 people in Lebanon in recent days.

The joint statement, negotiated on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, says the recent fighting is “intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation.”

“We call for an immediate 21-day cease-fire across the Lebanon-Israel border to provide space for diplomacy,” the statement said. “We call on all parties, including the governments of Israel and Lebanon, to endorse the temporary cease-fire immediately.”

Maybe the mod(s) got banned by admins? Doesn't seem to be too active thankfully, but it's probably only a matter of time before moderation will be needed there.

ICE is dead, and none of the developments make it to road cars anyway. Meanwhile, battery/EV tech needs all the development it can get and F1's have been frozen for years.

Make F1 road relevant again, not just aerospace on bubble gum tires. Let teams compete on the tech that actually matters to the motoring world.
