  2.  @Rafael96xD  The problem is WHO is WHERE. If the young and motivated continue to flood into the places where labor is needed, fine. But the people who object to that are the OLD who want the Shining Cities on the Hill to be their retirement home that they lord over. The answer? Ship the Old and Not Working to the countries the Young immigrants abandoned.

  3. Fire is our one, true species superpower. Others have thumbs, speech, can roll things (the wheel), use tools. But what really made us is Fire. The test is if it will also unmake us.

  7. Climate change started out non-political in the 60's. And those who stood to lose money made it political. Because that's how money works. Nothing can stay non-partisan when someone stands to lose 3% of their share value in a quarter.

  13. Me right now: God I feel like a monster Me 10 minutes from now: I could really go for some McNuggets Edit: Seriously, the garden variety stupidity of consumers took an efficient way to waste less meat, Irradiating it, and demonized it in the market place in favor of chemical preservatives and increased waste because people couldn't get over the goddamn symbol. I would prefer ALL meat was irradiated. It wasn't doused with Plutonium, you morons, just nuked to slow the decay and keep pathogens out of it

  16. Assuming we phased out the majority of cattle ranching for dairy and meat in favor of lab designed cultured beef replacements, I'm curious what the comparitive emissions of that process will be, or if they can be contained on the factory floor for filtering before exchanging gases into the wild

  21. First 3 months of quarantine: Keep swearing to use this time to work out. Next 3 months of quarantine: Actually do work out and lose some pounds. Following 3 months of guarantine: Completely sick of working out to fill the hours. Final months: Watch assloads of cooking videos on YouTube, gain back twice as much weight as you lost. But hey, at least Uncle Roger taught me the finer points of Fried Rice.

  23. Well, folks, we got a NEW lie in the offing. Carbon Capture farms are already being hijacked by the Petro industry. They want to use all the captured CO2 they're planning to stuff underground and use it to frack for new gas/oil reserves I'm not even kidding. They plan to use a cure to fish up more of the cause.

  32. I think the only way to remain YOU while replacing your mortal grey matter, is to do so in gradual steps. If you just zip filed it over in 1 go, what is made is a copy, with the original YOU left behind. No immortality or continuum there. Think of it like the Ocean. If you replicated every drop in 1 ocean into another container, it's not the same ocean. BUT... If you gradually migrated the water of the Pacific into a new basin, it's the same ocean with a new address. Minds, like bodies of water, are fluid and can grow or shrink. If you started replacing the storage media and processing functions with analogs of your OG brain over time, it would become part of it, new engrams added, other old ones ported over. No big bold line dividing one mind from another. Similary, no matter how perfect the fidelity, is not Sameness. This preserves the YOU in you, until, at last, YOU are now in a new media altogether that can supplant the OLD media, rather than being just a copy-paste version. Because your mind continued to be fluid and and grow into the new vessel as the process progressed.

  33. Alien Phone Rings Alien Supervisor: "What's up?" Alien Technician: "Those Humans are pointing their radio telescopes at us again. They're getting persistent." Alien Super: "Ugh. Not them again. Activate the jamming field, and give a heads up to the Betazoids and Antares Continuum, to be neighborly. Don't want the Riff Raff spotting & bothering them either. Slippery slope, that. If they spot the Rigelians because they're too cheap to put a cloaking field in their planetary budget, then next thing you know, those hairless primates start strapping explosive devices to their asses and launch themselves here. They eat living things and poop in potable water, for crying out loud. We do NOT want them in the HOA." Alien Technician: "Hey, do you still have that golden record from that tin can the Humans launched at us? I want to use it in my mix tape. Could be fire" Alien Super: "Yeah, but don't bother. It's like show tunes and other childish stuff. It's not fire." Alien Technician: "Ah, no great loss then. HEY! You wanna take a saucer and go do that thing to their cows again? That's always a riot." Alien Super: "No. We don't do that anymore. Grow up, Zaphod."

  34. What dumb people stocked up on: N95 masks, TP and Purell. What smart people stocked up on: Bulk bags of beans & rice, Totino's frozen pizzas, a wee bit of Ramen, baby wipes, dish soap, isopropyl alcohol, Paint Respirator & xtra filters. Edit: *P95 or 6000 series filters are fine, decontaminate the mask body with the Alcohol after every use. Re-using a maybe-contaminated N95 fiber mask over and over is stupid as hell.

  38. The biggest lie told to us by poets, preachers, and science fiction writers is that Mortality makes us beautiful Logic says that's a lie. Mortality makes life cheap, and men greedy as they try to live as hard as they can before they die A human with 60-100 years on this earth slowly falling apart: burns brightly but lights everything else around on fire A human with 300 years without infirmity: glows steadily and lights the world with patience and time for accomplishments

  42. For real. Vaping DID make it possible for me to quit nicotine altogether after 2 years on the juice, simply dialing down the content until I just stopped vaping altogether after hitting 0% for a few months. But I 'quit' smoking 5 different times, and it was just too rough. Welbutrin and such didn't cut it. A guy we sent to recovery used Khat to beat a lifelong Methamphetamine addiction. But that was Europe.
