Shouldn’t you be able to get it in in at least some states via ballot measures, from where you can use it to send better people to DC to implement it federally?

These companies provided access to the required technologies free of charge, for humanitarian purposes.

They don’t own it, they don’t get paid for it.

“Big corps” aren’t involved here. It’s a philanthropy project, and from what I can find it’s not legally encumbered in any way like Monsanto stuff is. This is entirely Greenpeace doing something that gets headlines, instead of something actually good. Don’t forget that that organization, too, has motives, first among which is going to be survival and advancement of the organization.

If just grow carrots lol was adequate, tell me again why people are deficient in the nutrients golden rice has over baseline rice, please.

Jokes on you, I don’t have testicles.

Usually he doesn’t pause during that spiel, so I don’t buy it being intentional. It’s normally FEAR FEAR FEAR patter the whole time.

I really, really hate that he’s still enough of a force in our politics that I feel the need to keep aware of him enough to know this.

Super weird how it’s made up but I watched video of the event.

Better hope nothing gets made up at the debates, Donny.

I would love to see research data pointing either way re #1, although it would be incredibly difficult to do so ethically, verging on impossible. For #2, people have extracted originals or near-originals of inputs to the algorithms. AI generated stuff - plagiarism machine generated stuff, runs the risk of effectively revictimizing people who were already abused to get said inputs.

It’s an ugly situation all around, and unfortunately I don’t know that much can be done about it beyond not demonizing people who have such drives, who have not offended, so that seeking therapy for the condition doesn’t screw them over. Ensuring that people are damned if they do and damned if they don’t seems to pretty reliably produce worse outcomes.

You’re missing 1.5: Make it impossible for people who every professional medical association of good repute says said medication help, get the medication by prescription.

I mean, it is a complex issue, and there are two sides of it. One of the sides is doing a genocide. The other side makes attacks when they can, killing much smaller numbers. If suddenly the power balance switched, I’m not convinced Hamas wouldn’t go for doing a genocide.

What actually matters here is that nobody should be doing genocides, both sides have reason to say, “they started it!”, and it’s not going to end until both sides can accept that yes, shit happened, bad things were intentionally done by people, and everyone needs to move on, or there will be another round, and another, and another, and another…

So you can’t do it, I can’t do it, nobody we know can do it. Maybe write Joe a letter or something?

I think there has to be an actual crime, directly witnessed.

Well, I can’t do an arrest. Can you do an arrest? I’m guessing you can neither arrest nor prosecute. If you can, by all means. I look forward to hearing about it. But I don’t expect to. I expect that that is not a solution that will be employed. John Oliver tried an extrajudicial offer to Clarence Thomas, and he doesn’t seem to have accepted that. So there don’t appear to be any remedies within the system, adjacent to the system, or near the system. And somehow, I also doubt I’ll hear about you throwing his tea into the harbor.

Who bells the cat?

Literally impossible right now. It’d take a 2/3ds senate majority to remove him.

The FBI passed?

“Why don’t you just be a gender nonconforming <ASAB>?” trans people get asked, from reasonably well-meaning people who don’t Get It. My sibling in Christ, even if we did, look what happens.

The smell of maralago may improve marginally.

He got beat up and arrested.

You have said the actual truth.

I wonder how different things would be now if Roger Stone (still politically involved Roger Stone who was a major player in the last Trump administration and who has a back tattoo of Nixon) hadn’t caused the Brooks Brothers Riot and fucked up the counting of votes in Florida allowing the supreme Court (whoch at the time had multiple clerks that Trump put on the court) to declare Bush the winner.

Yeah, it’s been all the same people, fucking stuff up, all along.
