I think it's a joke. Instead of "The God Particle", it's "the dog particle".

Why was the title edited?

TSMC's wafer pricing now $18,000 for a 3nm wafer, increased over 3X in 10 years: Analyst

The fact that there has been an increase in cost is the key piece of information. Are we expected to know that $18000 is expensive for a wafer?

That's just a normal functional relationship.

Careful, the Prohibition Era wasn't sunshine and rainbows.

"On balance, Prohibition probably reduced per capita alcohol use and alcohol-related harm, but these benefits eroded over time as an organized black market developed and public support for [national prohibition] declined."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition_in_the_United_States#Effects

National alcohol prohibition in the United States between 1920 and 1933 is believed widely to have been a misguided and failed social experiment that made alcohol problems worse by encouraging drinkers to switch to spirits and created a large black market for alcohol supplied by organized crime.

Maybe that’s because the patriarchy favours a minority of men.

Go read The Will to Change, then come back and tell me that the majority of men are having a grand time.

You're picturing the men at the top, which are few. The majority suffer.

angry tone.

Sarcastic tone, you're reading what I wrote in an angry voice. Try reading with a happy voice. 😉

that’s 1000+ years of potential change that we have no way of disproving.

What if that's not the point?

"Oh, but it's not exactly what that person said!"

So what? Taking sentences out of context is bad interpretation anyway, especially if we aren't reading the original language with the original cultural context (again, which was over 2 thousand years ago).

You're arguing for the letter of the law, I'm arguing for the spirit.

I wonder if those stories even matter, like they are from a culture so far removed from us (over 2 thousand years) that the lessons probably shouldn't be hard interpreted.

We wouldn't like people to have differing opinions about stuff? Everyone should believe what we believe, think what we think. /s

Maybe this is how the bible was written, rewritten and evolved over time.

Nope. But it is sometimes in how it is interpreted, and translated.

We have biblical manuscripts that date back past 100 BC. Can't rewrite something which we have original manuscripts of.

"Health" businesses / media: But how can we continually monetise people if they don't yo-yo diet?

Who told you that you are bad? Can you trust their assessment? Was their assessment correct at the time of assessment? Have things changed since that assessment? Did they know everything about you to be able to make that assessment? Bad in what way? In every way? How could that be possible?

We barely understand ourselves, how can we rely on anyone to make that judgement?

Oh boy, please go hard on ... Internet streaming services

My hope is not high for this. The movie will be made by Disney, so I don't think they'll be going after Disney+.
