If we’re going to rewrite gestation definitions and earthquake the entire area of law and all the computers around it, we might as well make it future proof and prepare for the children gestated outside of the human body, or cloned.

Both parents do not give the same things. From the RNA noted to be suspiciously traveling with the sperm DNA, to the mitochondrial DNA you only get from the mother, it’s pretty obvious we don’t know everything.

Sometimes it matters who gave birth to a baby. e.g. tracing the origin of a mitochondrial mutation. There needs to be a record. A birth record. This. It’s not personal. It’s fundamentally needed.

Meanwhile, a patriotic American somewhere is suing so he can get a dedicated seat for his emotional support bomb.

A man walks into a bar, and punches someone.

Why? You’re the one with outrage addiction and an inability to explain your own thoughts.

Sure, but explain in detail what you think I think ‘that’ is, so I can explain why you’re wrong, so you can then accuse me of lying about what I think, and claim righteous victory, because that’s what justice is now.

Not so glad people are resigning from MIT for just talking about someone who was involved with Epstein...

As a card-carrying weirdo, this is freaking me out - but not for the reasons everyone’s saying. That line you’re quoting doesn’t mean the same thing when processed emotionally as when processed logically. Stallman has no emotion engine - he’s double-logic. He’s not saying what people think he’s saying - and nobody…

Wasn’t there a rather famous early case where the psychiatrist got a little overexcited with the discovery and ended up amplifying the reality?

Racist? It’s geologist!

And lo, the clouds part, and the mouse stands before the pearly gates, which gently swing open.

It also wouldn’t affect elemental toxins. e.g if it’d been drinking Flint’s water, or vaping Radon.

Any gators in them water hazards?

Wasn’t one loony recently trying to splatter his way to fame on the same day another loony was doing the same?

I have fond memories of my dad shoving vegetables down my throat.

You mean just don’t believe there’s a problem and blame them for making it up? Brilliant! You should be in a rape jury.

Well, no, patriarchal tribalism is not the same as religious zealotry.
