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.

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.

So. which parts of reddit did they walk into?

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

part of it is that cats (like dogs) see taking a shit as being vulnerable, so they’re keeping an eye out for you. Their instincts predatemodern plumbing.

All I really known about it is that you can roast pot in butter and extract the thc/cbd into the butter then use that to make cookies.

But yes.

I also know that you need to be careful to keep them sorted from normal cookies. Don’t, ah, ask how I know that.

“Magic Cookie” is the term I use for cookies baked with cannabutter.

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.

was it shipped by USPS? Then mark it “wrong address” and let them pick it up. if you want to go the extra mile, bring it to a post office.

If it was shipped by someone else, call them, they’ll probably come out. alternatively, they’re probably in your neighborhood. check for a shipping label with an address or something and walk it over.

if they confirm it was sent to your address. congratulations. free shit.

Then consider investing in a brush and something like a Merkur 34C.

i had a really bad experience with the 34c. Basically the posts for the blade to ‘register’ to, allowed a relatively significant amount of play I’ve never seen in any other razor. This made seating it and using it at the ‘proper’ angle impossible- it also tended to make one side vastly more aggressive than the other, since a significant amount of blade was exposed on one side and not-enough on the other. (or worse, it was twisted so that on half the edge was too exposed and the other half was not, on both sides the blade.)

maybe they fixed it, but, I sort of doubt it.

the alchohol is there to kill to the bacteria- which is the immediate cause of acne. most aftershave splashes will also include some glycerin to re-moisturize the skin.

if you don’t want a scented product, you can do IPA and then some aftershave balm instead.
