In the case of embryo cloning, it’s Sophie’s Choice but for embryos. Make a few dozen combinations of sperm and egg, and then choose the best one to grow based on your opinion. But embryos are people too. How many potential sibs can you waste for the perfect child? It’s icky, and we should have caution when we do powerful things.

Individual gene editing therapies are also being worked on now, but these pose similar issues.

What if taking away depression from the next few generations causes the human population to no longer produce quality artists? Another issue: the wealthy will have unequal access to it compared to others. We can only have nice things (freedom from disease) if there are those willing to pay charge for them. Not everyone can benefit from gene therapy, so it is not truly a benefit to society or humanity, and therefore should not be developed as a biotechnology. As if that ever stopped anyone.

If you drink it regularly it’s already got you

Thank you. I thought that pesticides wouldn’t come off with simple rinsing.

It is a cost effective kink to portray. No props needed

We care about you and the memories you share here

Well obviously fb needs to sell this to big cereal bowl mouth

Hi! Your comment succeeded in convincing me of all the genocide in which I have been tacitly engaged. What action do you recommend I take now?

“I am part of the intelligencia”

Just from scrolling through, you may have been one of the only ones to report seeing the ball-pusher as female instead of male or indeterminate/ no gender

This question has gone back and forth a lot, and the data says: both! The overall development of organisms depends the sum of the effect of the genes, the environment, and the gene-by-environment interaction. In conclusion, to predict human behaviors and personalities, we need a new zodiac system that accounts for multiple hemispheres, precipitation, elevation, socioeconomics, pandemics, popular movies, climate change, and the genome.

“I was a Porky’s kid, born in the southern hemisphere, I ate well, was raised in good home, I had access to education, and it was back when climate change was still deniable. Most people did not know what a pandemic was. I’m genetically predisposed to hair loss.”

“Ma’am, you are, what we call, a Jaguar-5-hypercrab-superbear, and I’m going to have to ask you to go with the nice officer now.”

Yes! Cooperative behavior can that result in kin selection, where the individuals of the community have similar fitness. However, selfishness and deception are exceptionally beneficial behaviors for increasing the fitness of a particular individual. That is just within the same species. Perhaps tribalisms are another form of kin selection?

Yes. I looked that up, it seems he said something very nasty on his Twitch stream and was temp-banned.

Do you think a fourteen day ban is an effective deterrent? Why?

I think he is at least in part rewarded with publicity. We are currently discussing him, right?

People are basically good

ADHD comorbid with hemorrhoids? Would make a lot of sense, personally.

I dunno man… You forget about GT? /s

No, of course TeamFourStar doesn’t care about how they could be “damaging” to the original experience of watching the show. I think you and your friend are allowed to enjoy whatever you choose, right? You’re upset your friend is experiencing DBZ incorrectly. It feels wrong? I think I understand, but please correct me if I’m going off course.

It is easier to relate to one another with small jokes and low-investment memes. Comedy is a helpful distraction in a terrible world, even if the comedy is shallow.

Being able to open up and have a knowledgable discussion about a topic is one of the deepest and least attainable social pleasures. If you want to be able to discuss DBZ with this person you have to adapt to their growing body of knowledge on the subject.

Also, you have a unique perspective to share with your friend, once you can overcome the obstacles. Seriously, why does TeamFourStar, who allegedly loved DBZ, represent Piccolo as the only serious character? I bet it could be because they could only use the original drawings, and they have to write scripts around the fact that Piccolo does not smile often.

Ever read Miller’s Death of a Salesman? well it’s almost like that, but without any insurance.

hey friend, we are kinda coming across as too abrasive and too uncompromising here. Which can be good traits, don’t get me wrong.

The engine teardown videos are readily available to you, and your local library is a great place to learn. It is not that person’s responsibility to show you how to teach yourself. The use of the term “tribal knowledge” here is out of place and is loaded with implications about race/class. That knowledge is available to you, if you express the initiative to get it.

I think I once found a college lecture on youtube about software development, would you like me to share a link for you? I’m all for literacy, but let’s try to think about other ways to communicate when our correspondents are showing agitation through words like “hell” and “shit”

Please let me know if you would like me to explain anything further. Social interactions confuse me often.

it was the only one I was qualified for

Yes I would like to change this, too. Who do I vote for to make this happen? Just kidding I don’t have access to $10B of “free speech.”

obviously a reputable source of information
