Amazing. On Trump, this hair looks like some kind of alien parasite. On Clinton it just makes him look like an aging playboy.

a right wing pundit say on the radio that Americans would just have to live with these acts of violence and brace for them to happen

Yes, progress would come to a crawl. So what? Considering the number of ill-considered decisions of the last hundred years, I would say that making every new advance go through decades of evaluation for possible side effects, is a good thing. Not to mention that long-lived people can’t afford not to think in long…

If 250 years from now I die because Radical Front for Ethical Treatment of Turing Machines had snuck an antimatter bomb aboard my Europa-bound spaceliner, I would consider it an improvement.

Dibs on the femurs!

Never dying is cheating yourself of one of the key parts of being alive.

I feel the same way. I’ve been considering No Man’s Sky, but now I know not to waste money on it.

As an aside, “Pivo” is Russian word for beer.

Ham sandwiches are delicious. I admit that the idea of eating out Taylor Swift never occurred to me before, but now it has.

We’ve been breaking 30,000 of these eggs per year for over 50 years (“we” being United States — for the rest of the world the figure is much larger), yet the omelet of manual roads is still not exactly “made”.

Your original post was ambiguously phrased. From that post alone I was not sure whether you intend to vote for Clinton or not. Your subsequent posts cleared up the ambiguity, but I can see how someone might read just the first, jump to conclusions, and start accusing you of “helping Trump”.

Fuck this bitch.

Our cat does not ride on Roomba, but is not the least bit afraid of it either. When Roomba runs around, she just peeks at it, then goes back to being lazy.

I take it, you never ride in a bus, let alone a plane.

Don’t be silly. That’s why workhouses were invented. (Preferably managed by church.)

What have fungi ever done to you?

In 1916 (origin of PP) you would have a hard time finding an educated person who was not a eugenicist — whether in US or in Europe. Sterilizing undesirables was considered both enlightened (“for the good of future generations”) and humane — after all, it is a lot better than killing them! The only real arguments were…

If you could choose which genes to pass (i.e., there is technology for it), then pretty much by definition there is also technology to store currently undesirable genes for future use, if any.

For example, it is already possible to detect devastating genetic anomalies in a fetus long before they actually appear. Abortion is often the prescribed remedy.

Don’t smack them. Ask them to name the toxins they are talking about.
