For the most part Pathogens and even GMOs are only present an environmental threat in their living form, and once properly sterilised, can be disposed of safely.
These mirror organisms would be dangerous in living and dead form, as they'd be chuck full of mirror proteins and biological molescules, any of which could trigger an environmental disaster if released by accident, so they'd have to be completelydestroyed to be safe.
Without proper regulations to ensure proper safeguards are in place, continued research into these organisms is plain dangerous
Oh for fuck's sake, we already know that mirror molecules can have disastrously unexpected side-effects on people, so why on Earth would we make an entire mirror organism that's has the potential to do the same but way, way worse!
I hate to tell you OP, but there's just about 0% chance that's gonna happen.
Rich people want someone to make an example out of, and the government is all too keen to do it
It's such a garbage argument when you can just counter with "okay then, release software which allows the public to run them for themselves".
There are plenty of famous games, including Minecraft (only the most famous game in history) that manage to do that just fine.
Acting like it's impossible just so that you can force people to buy the next game is bullshit.
I hate to side with a chatbot, but the right-wing rarely opposes systemic injustices, and this was definitely opposing system injustice imposed by healthcare insurance agencies
If I'm interpreting this right, basically YPG have mutual beef with Turkey, and thought they'd shot down a Turkish drone.
Instead they shot down a US drone that had nothing to do with them (?), thus awkward stare memes ensue while Turkey laughs in the background
Related to the previous posts bit, but I remember first seeing the Man vs. Bear memes.
I'll admit it was hard not to take it personally at first, because even if you agreed with the core of the message, it feels like you're being lumped in with the worst of menkind for no good reason.
That's probably why the reaction was so toxic, because people just replied with their gut reaction, which was to take offence...
But upon giving it a bit of thought, I realised that as a guy who's lived in some dodgy areas, I think I too would oftentimes prefer to take my chances with a bear than alone with a stranger at night - not cause I think I'd beat the bear, but at least you know what the bear's probably gonna do...
And if I feel that way being a man, then considering (on average) women are weaker than men of the same build, I can see why women would feel that way too.
As nice an idea as this is, I'd be willing to bet anyone who knows even an inkling about jury nullification will be filtered out before they'd make it onto the jury.
I think we're beyond the point of being surprised how far the justice system will go to bat for the rich, while (at best) ignoring all the poor they leave to die in their wake.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you have any doubts that Trump is in bed with Russia, wait until his peace deal comes out - I guarantee you it'll be the almost exact same abhorrent "give me your all your land or else" peace deal Russia already offered to Ukraine.
Ukraine will (again) vehemently refuse, because what moral country would abandon its land and people to Russia, and Trump will use that refusal to pull funding from Ukraine "because they don't want peace" or "they refuse to negotiate"
While I honestly believe nobody can get that kind of money ethically, the fact that he actually put his money where his mouth was on philanthropy whike still alive, and almost all anonymously, is very admirable
Considering how many people a year die at the hands of insurance companies delaying and denying life-saving treatments to make a quick buck, the glee over this insurance CEO's death is a fairly rational response - a reminder to the 0.1% that they're not quite as immune to consequences as they think they are.
Man, to think that $260M could've been used in so many better ways to benefit society... Yet was instead used by a power-hungry billionaire to "contribute" to that POS
It goes to show how morally bankrupt these people are that it takes the fear of death being out into them to get them to do something even remotely good/ethical.
It also unfortunately proves, once more, that violence can absolutely be the solution.
Exactly this!
