Yep, it’s the “probably” that creates the ethics conundrum. We won’t know how to improve the process without testing the process, and we cannot ethically create “test” humans like that scene in Alien Resurrection where all the failed Sigourney clones are sitting in jars, suffering and begging for death.

What? In my metaphor, Democrats are the nets made of sometimes poop, and Republicans are the turds. Was that not clear?

Yeah, sure. Gather the guillotine and meet me in the town square.

Look, if you’re scooping turds out of a punch bowl, and the only tool you have is a net that might be made of turds, then you can either keep scooping or you can throw away the whole bowl of punch. You don’t just give up and drink the punch because it’s all the same. One is a turd in the punchbowl. The other is a mechanism for removing the turds, but it’s also probably a turd. Doing something is still doing something, even if the punch is still shit.

“Is that right? I had heard an alternate theory…”

You’re definitely wrong, and I know more about this than you do.

Nah, the hairs don’t cooperate. If I cut away all the curly strands that stick out, I have no beard.

That’s also true. Also, Leonidas from 300 was the reason I grew it out, but it’s all curly and hoboish.

Perfection

This is me, except replace the second photo with Robin Williams in Jumanji after he comes out of the game.

You know, I was God once.

Oh great. Captain Moron has a plan. Why don’t you tell it to Wingus and Dingus here?

Leena? Is she captain of the Pallet Experts ship? Friend to Fly and Bonder and Zildfarb.

There were also the control monkeys, who only had the standard Motaba virus.

Plus, being flung from a cage at highway speeds has been clinically proven to have an agitating effect on monkey dispositions.

“This is the perfect chance for Fry to try out my new anti-pressure pills”

“I can’t swallow that!”

“Well then ‘Good News!’ It’s a suppository!”

A trial attorney? I could see it she wanted to be like a corporate attorney or real estate or something, where your character as a person isn’t relevant. How is she going to empanel a jury without potential jurors having preexisting feelings about her trustworthiness? “Yeah, she seems sincere, but remember that time on her reality show where she was faking tears for sympathy?”

I don’t know her, or how competent she would be at trial, and anyone can be anything they want to be. But also, recognize that choices have consequences. Maybe trading dignity for fame and fortune means you don’t get to live any dream you like.

Right? Like it’s weird so many people are saying “This isn’t what I voted for.” Yes, it is exactly what you voted for.

The fucked up part is that this bill permits the bypass of existing regulations. Wilderness protections already included a process to receive exemptions for critical infrastructure, including security-related improvements. The new bill simply removes the review process and creates a rubber stamp they can use to do whatever they want under the guise of border security, with zero review, oversight, or accountability for abuses.

Ok, so the coroner and his brother had a hidden room where they kept decomposing bodies, some as long as 15 years. This was discovered and he resigned his position as coroner. A new coroner was appointed.

That coroner’s office also, separately, planned a community event for a Halloween party. The planned Halloween party would have had zero corpses, and the creep who kept the corpses wasn’t invited to attend (probably?). Cancelling the event had nothing to do with safety, in spite of what the unnecessary quotes in the headline would suggest.
