Yes, 100% the technology and skill is available today to clone a human.

The ethics are dubious and nobody with that technology and skill is going to attempt it. They’re working on lab grown meat and replacement transplant organs.

Yup it’s like a gamble and 80% of the time you lose.

Ummm…deliver better pears to the grocery store and I’ll buy some every week.

I’ve had delicious, refreshing pears. So I know they can be good.

Most of the pears in US grocery stores are dry grainy garbage. Like 80-90% of the time.

The apple people figured it out. No one wants dry-ass mushy Red Delicious garbage apples. Now I can buy Cosmic Crisp or Envy apples and they are always consistently sweet, tart, juicy, and crisp. And guess what? I buy dem shits every week.

Figure it out pear people. Get on it.

Nope. Did not like. Insurrection and Nemesis are nigh unwatchable to me.

The Military Industrial Complex has been normalized over centuries. Humanity just can’t stop killing each other. It’s an instinct that evolved to be helpful to survival at one point thousands of years ago but may actually mean the end of humanity soon.

AI and all of the resources it consumes have not yet been normalized to anywhere near the level of “Defense”.

Give it time and average humans will care just as little about all the resources consumed by AI as they care about all the resources consumed by war. Unfortunately I seriously doubt that it will go the other way around and humans will suddenly start caring more about the resources consumed by the Military Industrial Complex. That ship has sailed…

I’m replying from a Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro.

The phone itself is responsive. The software is clean. The Camera is pretty mediocre. There is no wireless charging.

I would prefer a phone with a better camera and wireless charging but that’s easily 2x to 3x the price. I always just but unlocked phones so this was a good mid-quality option.

I love winter. I can finally be comfortable.

Fuck summer.

How about the color corrected version?

Or is the original color variation part of the vibe?

40-50 smackers is an unreasonable price for lobster roll. I also wouldn’t be impressed for that price.

Wait, you mean a Connecticut-style lobster roll? Which is amazing? Are you messin’ with me? Culinary sin? You mean culinary heaven?

Hey…wait a sec now.

Arrive in EU, go through customs with US passport, 180 days later go to the airport, walk straight to customs and go through with your Carribbean passport. Rinse and repeat every 180 days? Hmmm…

The article isn’t helpful for most of the target audience.

Citizens of the Carribbean nations in the article can currently enjoy up to 180 days in the EU visa-free. The same exact visa-free window as citizens of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand are granted.

Citizenship to one of these Carribbean island nations can certainly help you leave North America, but it doesn’t help you get any more access to the EU than you currently have. It just helps you move to…the Carribbean.

Aww hell no…can I do the immortal snail one instead?

Isn’t there usually a reward in these questions? Like 1 million dollars?

Can I pick neither? Not worth it.

I had balut in the Philippines when I visited around 2008.

Not my favorite thing to eat, but I could see how some people like it.

If you ever get to the Philippines give it a try! Ask for the “young” balut so it’s more like an egg and less like a baby duck.

And yeah, almost all beans have to be prepared right to be good. If it’s just mush then it’s overcooked.

I made a conscious decision in my mid-20s to stop being so picky.

Best decision I’ve ever made. No regrets, at all. There is so much to discover in the world. Why would you limit yourself?

I really feel like some people cling to listing the foods they don’t like as some unique part of their personality. Like they picked it at their character selection screen and they’re sticking with it.

Yes. This.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.

If you’re romantically interested in someone, say “hey, I’m romantically interested in you”.

Do not have a “crush”, do not have a friend you’re secretly in love with, do not secretly pine for anyone. It is not interesting, it does not make you stronger, you are not the protagonist in a romance novel, and you are dumb if you want to try to “save our friendship”.

If the other person is not interested, say “Thank you for your honesty. It’s been nice knowing you” and move on with your life. Stop wasting time. Life is too short.

Say what you mean and mean what you say. Don’t waste precious time on imaginary scenarios.
