…starts?
Dude’s been intubated with Russian dick for so long that he’s probably developed tracheal stenosis by now.
And now he’s getting spit-roasted with Musk on the other end, too.

Think of it more like medicine - taste isn’t what you’re after, but the effect it has.

That’s a testable hypothesis.

OpenFree Range - Comment on I think we might be leaving the "boring" part of this dystopia 3 weeks ago:
We may find the real population problem is we will have fewer smart people to help us fix the climate problem
Oh no, there’s no ‘may’ about it - we’re 100% fucked on that front.
- Comment on I think we might be leaving the "boring" part of this dystopia 3 weeks ago:
I don’t mean reduction by cherry picking a population out of existence (except for billionaires - their extinction would be a win for literally all other life), but that humanity in general needs to slow the fuck down.
We won’t. We’re too stupid act on any consequences beyond the scope of the fiscal year; but we need to.

The carbon footprint of having a child will depend on the family it’s being born into, for sure. I don’t know jack about the median Indian resident, but I’m fairly confident that their carbon footprint is higher than zero, so even looking at them as a best case scenario, reduction is still beneficial. And the emissions of industries will reduce alongside the population they target and workforce they deploy.
AI data centers
Yeah fuck that shit.
Billionaires
Yeah fuck those pieces of shit. Population reduction needs to happen in tandem with guillotine day, as you’re 100% right that the damage they’re doing is wildly beyond the scope of -any- decision you or I could make, good or bad.

Depends on the needs of the patient. If you’re bleeding to death and the hospital you’re actively dying in is out of your blood type, then absolutely blood is more useful than organs.
If you need a new lung, a huge stock of blood transfusion bags isn’t going to do you much good.
The goal would be for supply to outpace demand for all of the above.

Cancer has a need for unlimited growth, that doesn’t mean we should coddle a tumor: cut that shit out, then put it under the microscope so we know how to stop it from happening again.
Your county’s findings that right-wing populists are trash are consistent with a myriad of similar ‘studies’ around the globe. Mine just elected an orange neonazi who loves making decisions that hurt the quality of human life, so we’ll be adding plenty of data to that pile pretty soon here too.
- Comment on I think we might be leaving the "boring" part of this dystopia 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know who this “we” is.
The inhabitants of planet Earth. Making a baby is one of the largest carbon footprint things anyone can do. The climate is actively writing humanity’s (and plenty of other critters’) eviction notice via the heat we’re pumping into our planet.
The needs of the individual household include not being cooked to death, and I’d wager that supersedes whichever other circumstances you had in mind.
We need fewer babies.
- Comment on I think we might be leaving the "boring" part of this dystopia 3 weeks ago:
I mean a step or two beyond that- like keep a braindead body alive via feeding tube and ventilator so it’s just constantly generating blood that drips into donor bags. Keep just enough in the body’s circulation to keep it ticking, but bag the rest – it would produce WAY beyond the output of a mind-intact donor.
Bone marrow transplant? Done. Skin grafts? Hit it. Fucking hair for wigs? Plasma? Hell, even fecal transplants are a thing (restores GI microbiome that got wiped out… it’s gross as fuck, but it’s a thing - and it requires the donor to follow a VERY specific diet, that can now be force-fed).
Basically anything the body passively generates that we have some use for; keep a braindead-human-cattle-donor on life support and milk it for all it’s got.
…that sounded a bit bit like a sales pitch - gist is to illustrate just how far we could take this. Putting the focus on babies will just worsen the population problem, but also showcases an extreme lack of imagination!
- Comment on I think we might be leaving the "boring" part of this dystopia 3 weeks ago:
But like… why babies? We already have way too many of those. We need less babies.
If we’re going to delve into some seriously murky ethical water here, why not forcus on something there’s an actual need for, like organ harvesting and blood harvesting? And that would double donor pool by including men as poss-- …oh. Oh yeah. That’s why. -_-

Ya know, I thought we were talking YouTube specifically, but looking back at the OP it just says video, and I guess my brain just injected the word YouTube on it.
So, fair enough, if you’ve got a media service that isn’t run by a bunch of human shitstains, then yea support their work.
If it’s YouTube, don’t give em a cent.

- Comment on Why Surgeons Are Wearing The Apple Vision Pro 2 months ago:
Lol wut. Surgeons bitch when they’re wearing so much as a headlamp. A bulky-ass VR headset will never be a thing in the operating room beyond the odd techy doctor who’s in a VR infatuation phase.
The Davinci surgical robot has a VR headset kinda built into it so surgeons can see in 3D when they’re doing robotic assisted surgeries, but that’s not something they wear : it’s a little station they sit at and just lean forward into, no straps or weight or anything.
- Comment on Have you ever had a shit that smelled like a hair salon? 2 months ago:
Yeah fair enough. I couldn’t even afford health insurance for the first couple years working as a civ surgical tech, so my emergency plan was basically ‘if I die I die’, so I definitely get it.
But do at least treat those kinds of changes as a contributing factor to consider along any other symptoms you notice. Sudden change in smell, color, consistency, frequency, etc - any one of them, keep an eye on it; all of them at once (and again, lasting longer than what just a bad meal would cause), something is definitely fucked up.

If it stays different. A bad meal can do some weird things to your toilet, but you should be back to normal pretty quick. If it stays different, something isn’t working the way it’s supposed to, so yeah that’s definitely a red flag.
The stuff that comes out of your body can tell you a lot about the parts inside.

Unsure if you mean the guy named John McAfee, or if you decided to name your turd and that’s what you landed on. There’s a solid case to be made for either!
- Comment on Have you ever had a shit that smelled like a hair salon? 2 months ago:
I’m not a poop or perm expert.
So, also not a poop expert, but I do know poop should smell like poop. If the smell of your dookies changes suddenly and doesn’t return back to normal in the time it takes to pass a few meals, you should probably go see a poop expert. AKA, your doctor.
