…because that’s how having kids works, regardless of genetic editing. Do you think fetuses get a character creation screen or something? Lol.

I think it depends on how it is carried out.

If I was to have kids, I’d want them to have the best shot at life, and if that includes genetic editing, then I’m making some GMO kids.

If you want to have kids, I should have no say in those kids.

The problem is that eugenics folks are generally more concerned with other people’s kids. As with 95% of the problems in the world, if people would mind their own business and let others live as they see fit, there would be no problem.

Note that the main character in Gattaca is also a piece of shit who (a) knew he was on borrowed time and (b) was the only pilot on a multi year interplanetary mission. His need for personal success quite possibly doomed five others.

Edit: I’d actually say that genetic editing is the only way that eugenics could be morally permissible, because without genetic editing technology eugenics relies on controlling the reproductive rights of others. With genetic editing technology, you can just make a better kid on a personal scale.

And now you’re just wrong.

They work the exact same way, they affect the exact same receptors in the exact same way. One just effects them for longer than the other. This is not like comparing DXM and ketamine.

Edit: This is what people mean when they say adderall is basically meth. They have the same neurochemical effect. The methyl group (that’s the meth- in methamphetamine) just means that meth stays bound to the receptors for a little bit longer.

Correct. Much like there is a difference between driving 70 and 85.

Some people, going 70 just doesn’t cut it.

Dxm and ketamine have similar effects on similar neurotransmitters, but not identical. Amphetamine and methamphetamine have identical effects on the same receptors, one just stick around longer.

Analogy: dxm is taking a bus down the street, ketamine is taking truck down the street. Amphetamine is driving your car going 70, meth is driving your car going 85.

Having taken both and having worked a stint in pharmaceutical R+D, I can tell you they’re pretty much the same thing. One’s a bit stronger than the other.

In this case they have the same effects, one is just stronger.

Never Ghana be best*

I think that’s why the Nuremberg trials ended with hangings. But I might be wrong, and I’m having trouble finding references because the first however many pages of every search are all talking about this dude.

Ya know what’s funny? Deserters, traitors, and war criminals are specifically hanged because dying by gunfire is an honorable death for a soldier.

No, no, you see AI artists do have intent to impress.

It’s just that instead of impressing the girl in art class and maybe bumping genitals, they want to impress the 4chan mob and maybe get up votes.

Every permutation of LateStageCapitalism I’ve ever seen acts like a gop honeypot to keep people from voting.

Play more.

Nah, that’s any YouTube use. Unless you actively refuse to engage with right wing content, it will be pushed at you.

If you don’t engage, they’ll try to get you to bite with occasional right wing crap.

You should be able to order from the US mint.

Also I’d suggest getting a 2 frank coin from Switzerland.

Depends on which currency, and depends on how exactly you deface it.

No, my hair is glorious.

Yeah. Xanax is one of them. Also treats alcohol withdrawals.

You’d think the manufacturers of Xanax would absolutely be in favor of a ban for this reason.

Well, in theory the poorest members of society will work hard in exchange for money from the rich, then use that money to become rich themselves.

In practice, you either get slavery or bears.
