ijyt posted:Games workshop good Sure. Games Workshop is a successful company. So is Sega. Games Workshop makes bad products people should not buy, with a few rare exceptions. Sega doesn't make the Total War games, but they do distribute them, and that's fine. The games have had problems on release in the past, but Total Warhammer's release was great and it is a good game. Simple enough for you? And if you don't like the death thread, why not  ? Who is sadder, the people carrying on with a topic you're uninterested in, or the dude who can't not read that topic and obsessively attack the posters in that thread for being there too?

I don't think we should be introducing new organisms into ecosystems when we have only a dim understanding of biodiversity and the effect of a particular organism in a particular ecosystem- we devastated just about every Pacific island with introduced crops and animals and GMOs offer the same problem at a potentially greater scale.

Okay points for ironically quoting an actual decent argument. I feel like this is a reason to primarily look at de-commercialising genetic research (you can see similar issues with incentives in research in pharmaceuticals) to avoid covering up issues, and also a reason we need to look at stuff like hydroponics. Realistically, we can't not-use GMO food; it's one of, possibly the only realistic ways of having sufficient food security in the near-future with population growth we expect. Properly managed it'll be another green revolution. But it is going to mean that food production doesn't look like it used to, and that's always going to be uncomfortable and have it's own challenges to deal with.

spectralent posted:Okay points for ironically quoting an actual decent argument. It wasn't ironic I don't think "more profit margins for Monsanto" is a sufficient argument for potentially deleterious patentable monocultures annihilating our already dwindling biodiversity, and I think that state-run collective hydroponic farms is more of a fantasy than simply limiting the introduction of new GMOs into the world. And really, I don't think feeding the earth requires GMOs for quite some time. For most of American history at least half of the population was farmers, and we can certainly eat less meat and recruit more farmers to feed orders of magnitude more people before we really need to start looking at GMO wonder crops.

It's less about quantity of food and more about conditions under which they can live. My understanding is that regular crops can't produce sufficient food with a variance in temperature of even only a few degrees, but GMOs can.

You can still grow non-GMO plants hydroponically, and GMOs are the IP of some companies that are much worse than GW.

For those of you who love GW and arguing it in here I have one super important question: WHY THE gently caress ARE YOU EVEN IN THIS THREAD? Like if you are butthurt about our butthurt in a thread that's mostly about shitposting I gotta wonder wtf is up. Can't you just like not come into the thread? Do y'all really think you are sticking it to those big not GW meanies somehow? Are you just looking to find a safe place to troll but had to self own yourself by scouring Pro GW forums to copy and paste poo poo like you are some sort of GBS political troll in the Trump or Punch Nazi threads? Help me understand the madness. Cuz this is some wackadoo poo poo that makes zero sense.

There are many legitimate complaints that can be made about the company. Similarly, I've accepted that many people in these various threads, most notably LP, doesn't like anime so I'm not not really going to try and convince them otherwise but will post the animes every now and then anyway.

you can post in the thread for a game even if you dislike the game so I don't see any reason why people who love 40k or whatever shouldn't post in this thread admittedly "I love space marines and hate political correctness!!!" is some pretty bad posting but that's how it goes sometimes

This thread is fun because you can post uncontroversial opinions like "religion is good," "GW makes fun games that people enjoy," and "patentable organisms owned and managed by large multinationals are bad" and get giant page long spergouts in response.

"They're made out of meat." "Meat?" "Meat. They're made out of meat." "Meat?" "There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." "That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?" "They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines." "So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact." "They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines." "That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat." "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they're made out of meat." "Maybe they're like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage." "Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat?" "Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside." "Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through." "No brain?" "Oh, there's a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of meat! That's what I've been trying to tell you." "So ... what does the thinking?" "You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat." "Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!" "Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?" "Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat." "Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they've been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years." "Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?" "First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual." "We're supposed to talk to meat." "That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.' That sort of thing." "They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?" "Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat." "I thought you just told me they used radio." "They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat." "Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?" "Officially or unofficially?" "Both." "Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing." "I was hoping you would say that." "It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?" "I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say? 'Hello, meat. How's it going?' But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?" "Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can't live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact." "So we just pretend there's no one home in the Universe." "That's it." "Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you probed? You're sure they won't remember?" "They'll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we're just a dream to them." "A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat's dream." "And we marked the entire sector unoccupied." "Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?" "Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotations ago, wants to be friendly again." "They always come around." "And why not? Imagine how unbearably, how unutterably cold the Universe would be if one were all alone ..." e: formatting Avenging Dentist fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Apr 4, 2017 |
