@EaglePole_ @_Benche_ I don't think human reproduction has anything to do with this. We were taking a purely technical approach to what is life and what isn't right

@Megabyte_0101 @_Benche_ Cancer is not human reproduction. You’re either trolling or comically evil, which one is it?

So I’m guessing liberals are responsible for every good thing we have in society?

@EaglePole_ @_Benche_ Mutated DNA is unique. And it's a good analogy. We don't consider cancer "life on its own" by your definition, yet a fetus being remarkably similar is that. Just shows that your definition on what life is is purely vibes based

@_Benche_ @Megabyte_0101 Cancer cells have mutated DNA, not unique DNA. However this might be by far the worst false equivalency I’ve ever seen

@EaglePole_ @GeodesicForce @_Benche_ @TrueSlazac Having "your own DNA" is not a feature that defines life. You can clone an organism and it would still be life. Technically speaking the only thing that differs is the ability to grow. Still, the fetus doesn't possess all features of "life on its own", just like sperm

@Megabyte_0101 @GeodesicForce @_Benche_ @TrueSlazac A fetus has its own DNA and is fully capable of cellular growth just like every other human. I understand they might be skipping science classes in Ukraine right now but this is very basic stuff

@EaglePole_ @GeodesicForce @_Benche_ @TrueSlazac There's not a lot of difference between eggs/sperm cels and a fetus. A fetus is not independent and cannot reproduce. It's alive (just like an egg and a sperm cell), but I don't see what constitues "life on its own" here

@Megabyte_0101 @GeodesicForce @_Benche_ @TrueSlazac It is not a life on its own. Sperm is not capable of growth or reproduction on its own which is necessary to be considered life. Sperm is part of the male who generates it and has identical DNA to said male, instead of its own unique DNA

@EaglePole_ @GeodesicForce @_Benche_ @TrueSlazac Sperm is literally alive, fym

@Megabyte_0101 @GeodesicForce @_Benche_ @TrueSlazac Sperm on its own isn’t life, just as an egg on its own isn’t

@Teal_mantis @SocDane piss vs shit

@SocDane checking op's account before liking to make sure they are saying this leftistly and not conservatively

.

@EaglePole_ @GeodesicForce @_Benche_ @TrueSlazac How many sperm cells have you killed over your lifetime? I believe you might be the single biggest perpetrator of genocide by your own definition

@GeodesicForce @_Benche_ @TrueSlazac The answer we were looking for was around a Billion humans have been killed in abortion worldwide since 1920

@thedianhanson @OrevaZSN it will make all sort of work way easier. why do we need humans to perform work a robot can do better and easier? We could feed the hungry, fix the climate, learn more bout the Universe, spread life to other planets - the opportunities are endless

@Megabyte_0101 @OrevaZSN Why? How will your life benefit from energy sucking, job deleting data centers? Are you heavily invested in the military industrial complex?

I don’t want a city on Mars. I don’t want AI in every app. I don’t want data centres in space. I don’t want humanoids or flying cars. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want bees to survive. And a habitable planet.

@thedianhanson @nortonbreads @OrevaZSN that's the thing, we have enough resources to build the data centers now. we might not have in half a century. so the idea is to establish this infrastructure as fast as possible

@Megabyte_0101 @nortonbreads @OrevaZSN 😂😂😂😂 that’s right. Just go grab those hydrocarbons from Titan to fuel the data centers being built right now. Go drill for moon water to cool the machinery.

@PatBradyvi @EmpireEnjoyer3 @OrevaZSN @DizzelW the West

@EmpireEnjoyer3 @OrevaZSN @DizzelW And do you have any examples of this ‘great’ civilisation? Numbers of billionaires not a relevant criterion.

@BannedInEurope @nortonbreads @OrevaZSN We are not happy and never were. Wouldn't that mean we're not yet there?

@nortonbreads @OrevaZSN It is not necessary. The earth provides everything we need to thrive and be happy. Once we have developed to the point where we are happy we need to know when to stop. We are no longer happy. We do not have freedom, we do not have enough money to feel safe, our leaders are insane

@thedianhanson @nortonbreads @OrevaZSN the energy is out there in outer space. Titan has more hydrocrabons than the entirety of Earth. Saturn and Jupiter are full of hydrogen. The Moon has water. The space is literally infinite, there's infinite resources, we just gotta reach out and get them. +Nuclear fusion

@nortonbreads @OrevaZSN And where, exactly, will the massive increase in energy resources come from to fuel this fabulous Ai future? Just keep sucking the finite oil and gas from the earth until they’re gone, and then back to firelight?

@xxmenzz @nortonbreads @OrevaZSN until humanity is able to reach the stars and leave this forsaken planet to itself

@nortonbreads @OrevaZSN accelerating until what? until we rob the earth of all of its natural resources? until we pollute the ocean and the skies even worse then we already have?

@wiwyums @nortonbreads @OrevaZSN you can live off the scraps on Earth... or you could have something greater

@nortonbreads @OrevaZSN Accelerate toward what? The planet is great. People are great. Nothing needs to be replaced or optimised. We already have everything we need for a paradise, except the will to distribute our resources equitably.

@greatestbkfacts edit a kirk face on her

@_zzamya @januarymiko2 @suchnerve making a world a better place by having educated children❌ crying on the Internet and giving up the world to the uneducated who will make it worse ✅

@januarymiko2 @suchnerve Sorry, but no one is gonna have kids as long as the other parent’s job is to just be present and provide, meanwhile they can’t even do that. Plus half the people out here are weirdos who lowk hate women, and bringing kids into this world is not ideal right now.

@ThePrimalDino @go4gordon nothing ever happens the rocket

@go4gordon Will the #cycle be proven correct yet again?

Representative Brian Babin (R-TX) questions Jared Issacman on proposed cuts to SLS/Orion "The administration is once again proposing transitioning away from SLS/Orion even without alternative operational systems" "I certainly hope you will finish the second mobile launch platform"

@DroughtHawk @JadeAtrophis The people who refuse to engage in good-faith debating continuously lose support to the side that respects its opponents and is willing to provide arguments for their position. That's crazy

@JadeAtrophis Sure is a good thing we don’t have to debate

@genexzz @firmlygraspi1 @bienze25 @BiliBiliBD @ThorpeWilby @foolibuster idk why you're saying this to me that's how society operates. Humans are naturally repulsed of traits perceived as unhealthy

@Megabyte_0101 @firmlygraspi1 @bienze25 @BiliBiliBD @ThorpeWilby @foolibuster If your treatment for people is solely based on their Appearances then respectfully you're a Shallow person

ascending

@salemtrait @StartWaiting @foolibuster What constitutes your "true self"? These people were likely insecure about their appearance way before doing looksmaxxing. If their insecurity goes away after getting a desired body image, doesn't that mean their true self was satisfied?

@Megabyte_0101 @StartWaiting @foolibuster & other harmful behaviors. Sure you can say they are both born from an insecurity but you can’t deny that Looksmaxxing isn’t about being one’s true self. It’s about conforming to an appearance that will benefit you in society
