It seems very plausible that if you can make a generation ship, you could make something like CRISPR to artificially increase genetic diversity/eliminate potential birth defects. Or perhaps just store genetic material for more people than the actual colonists on the ship. You’d probably want to hedge your bets in case there’s a low survival rate. There’s a lot that could go wrong. Ecosystem failure, negative effects of radiation, or just good old fashioned murder.

I think life situation is probably more important than strictly age. If you’re an independent 30 year old working a full time job you probably don’t want to date a college student that lives with their parents.

“Link aggregator” is more appropriate than news aggregator.

Yep.

The point being that it wouldn’t be “this guy is banned from the park,” it would be “please alert the police if you see him.”

I mean you can also tell this is fake because that would be assault.

Alcohol is a social lubricant, if you’re a drinker then yes it’s pretty natural to assume a few drinks on a first date would loosen both parties up. Not everyone is a drinker and that’s fine but I don’t think it’s weird at all to want drinks on an occasion where people are probably a bit nervous and awkward. Re: driving, take an uber? The bus?

Well, being pardoned wouldn’t shield them from civil liability. So assuming they still have money (trials are generally pretty expensive)there could be a lot of lawsuits incoming.

I just dont think you have as many short haul flights in the US where this sort of thing would not be as big of a deal. Nothing to do with safety.

In Europe on airlines like Ryanair, definitely. I don’t know if I see them taking off in the US.

I’m sure the majority of reddit users either don’t know or don’t care about the events of two summers ago. And with reddit cracking down on more and more content…they may not even know about all of the stuff reddit is cracking down on. How long until a crackdown on posts about reddit cracking down?

Just throwing this out there…you can just hop over to another instance and voila! No bans.

(This seems like a flaw in the fediverse model, given how easy it is to instance hop.)

You know, the worst part is, they intentionally make the interface shittier on the cheap ones. I’m very convinced of this.

Remember, it’s okay to be classist as long as you’re hating on people richer than you.

Oh good, United healthcare is up.

Worth noting that it’s against international law to leave a person stateless.

What is the strict topological definition of a hole?

Number of holes beneath the waist.

Feel like shit in general since January, not only because of global events but also because of various shitty things happening in my personal life that coincidentally occurred around the same time. I have to say that when it seems like the world is actively on fire and burning down it severely affects my ability to compartmentalize. Like there’s an extra layer of gloom over everything.

It’s nice out today and I’m not feeling particularly awful, though. I made mini chicken pot pies so I’m looking forward to lunch.

AC mainly. I have a ceiling fan as well.
