“what was kiwifarm”, basically.

It’s almost as if it were a joke.

I guess I was understating the slowness, lol.

I do wonder if it might not actually slow down evolutionary change by removing otherwise beneficial traits?

Probably not on the scheme of things. It’s not like alcoholic mums haven’t always been around.

The only “dinosaurs” that were around at the same time anything vaguely human was, was chickens and such other theropod descendants.

We, uh, ate them.

It’s a forums for the worst sort of troll, they target trans, people with disabilities and people who are neurodivergent, and also posted the manifesto of the asshole that shot up the mosque in Christchurch NZ.

Edit to add: the dm may not be genuine. Lots of weirdness. I would suggest just not dropping anything to anyone you’re not already comfortable with the internet knowing.

Wait. the pope kissed his sister?

None of the birth defects caused by boozing it up whilst pregnant affect the genetics of the child. it disrupts the development, and does not generally effect the genetic make up.

in short, fetal alcohol syndrome is not a heritable trait and have no reasonable effect on ‘the rate of evolution’.

Keep in mind, evolution is a slow process consisting of gradual changes resulting in divergent species.

Wanna bet this thing was basically just a really cuddly puppy?

(yeah. me neither. but I know a few we can let find out for the rest of us.)

Cocaine Bear 2: Land of the Fresh Powder.

So, like, To go with more modern names, it’d be like some guy named Michael having a kid they named Braiden. In that particular time and place Yoseph was a super common name; as was Yeshua.

Which suggests there were many, many people named “Yeshua Bar Yoseph” which is part of the reason we have “Yeshua of Nazareth”

In fact, there was probably more than one Yeshua bar Yoseph from Nazareth, even if it was a small town. just like how there’s Braiden, Brayden, Braeden, Braidyn. It’s probably a good thing I’d never have kids because I’d name them all Zathras

Part of me wonders what discovery would come up with if they got access to united health’s database. If they want to go with the argument that it was justified; they probably could get at least some limited access.

Generally theyre not allowed to go on fishing expeditions, but they are allowed to seek documents and data directly pertaining to their defense (like a pattern of criminal malpractice.)

I mean he’s accused of premeditated murder, has the resources to flee, and I’m pretty sure “they” want a spectacle to make an example.

they wont let him get shanked by accident, and they wont Epstein him until they have their spectacle

don’t forget the part where she got her fiance/husband totally snookered and/or dosed with magic mushrooms or something; and then appeared to him pretending to be an angel telling him to shut the fuck up and go with it.

(or maybe she got a friend to be the angel?)

Edit: also, can we talk about how if the story is real… there was no chance that Mary could give meaningful consent?

Show this meme to a grammarian and they explode.

And then they start spinning in their graves, haunted by the tortured grammar.

Which, then, you can hook up a genset and get free energy, breaking physics.

I dunno. What I’d suggest doing is going to the library and asking the librarians there.

I have never been steered wrong when it comes to book recommendations from librarians. Even when the books aren’t something I’d have picked on my own.

that’s jut it, though.

They’re not saying the 4 years is a loss. the producers outside of the US… they’re just going to ship to new markets, and when things get less insane, then they come back. that’s all they need to do. Spinning up production in the US is expensive, costly, and it’ll take more time to complete than the whole reason for it will last- presumably.

and if it lasts longer than four years, that’s probably going to be even worse, because then, well, yeah. the best case scenario is you get to write off all those losses. Worst case? it can get whole hell of a lot uglier as you lose IP and find yourself competing against your own designs.’

So trump’s tariffs is driving imports away and killing local development of production at the same time.

to put it in the simplest terms, it’s fucking stupid.

and you think that’s an argument to spin up new factories? not really.

If the US collapses into complete fascism, everyone inside is either going to be cut off from the global market. for a foreign company, spinning up factories in the US, when, in four years, they might literally get those investments yeeted from them is stupid. and that’s really the best case.

I submit we should go to a d20, and say roll a nat 21.

with this die:

(sorry, if I don’t laugh, I’m going to cry.)

why? it costs millions of dollars to construct new factories. Maybe billions, depending on the industry. It takes 7+ years to bring a new factory online. more to get all the kinks worked out and at full production.

Trump is supposed to be in office for only 4 years, at best, after which his tariffs will go away. it would be easier to simply just not ship to the US. which is how trade partners responded to the Hawley-Smoot Act in 1930, and which made the Great Depression that much harder to get out of.

the recruiter should have vetted them better. Part of the reason to go through a recruiter is to avoid these things.
