This thread is a modern horror show of what happens during late-stage capitalism, of course it's gonna take its toll on people.

Social Media is the worst but at least Dawn got fired for being awful after those texts went viral.

What company did they work for? Also did Dawn get beaten until she went blind? Because that's how this story should've ended if there was justice in the world.

The only way to deal with someone who, ultimately, wants to kill you for profit is to ensure they can never accomplish that. Guillotines are great for this application.

The government funds most drug R&D right now, private companies just make a couple changes then make bank off privatizing the government funded research. The profit is not going into R&D, it's going to executive bank accounts.

This is 100% correct and another example of "privatized profit, socialized risk." Research is rarely profitable.

I have a secret fantasy that anthropogenic climate change is a conspiracy to hide the fact that the sun is in fact getting warmer gradually, and in 20 years the earth will be uninhabitable by most forms of life.

This way the entire gay Earth will be destroyed and there'd be no chance of some other jackass species to evolve into the decrepit shitbags we are now.

This is absolutely incorrect. The current thought is that the sun increases in luminosity by 1% every 100 million years with a wet greenhouse event occurring one billion years from now.

Does someone assembling a Corvette make more than someone building a Toyota? Does a corvette factory employ as many people as a Toyota one? Can you get utility from a Corvette by hauling tons of consumer goods or produce?

The real humor is that these shitheads' argument is self-defeating. You want to provide the greatest good to the most people? Cut out the middle men who jacked up the price of various components, as well as the profit margin that goes into the bloated coffers of the company owners.

Hm, if only there was some sort of...system, maybe, that provided the means of production to the state.

The iced coffee thing is just taken out of context. They're not selling you a 'coffee to iced coffee converter' to take home. 7-11 is prepacking ice in a cup that's probably fits their coffee lids and is more heat resistant than their big gulp to pour their hot coffee into it. This also gets them out of the liability of someone pouring hot coffee in a cup then adding ice and getting splashed.

I'm really amazed you can type while simultaneously jerking off corporations. That takes some coordination!

It may be cheap now to eradicate hunger, but what about when the world population is 20 billion? 50 billion? At some point it will stop being cheap to eradicate hunger, and you'll be stuck with 25 billion hungry people instead of 3 billion. So you traded 3 billion people being hungry forever for a few generations of a hunger-free world, followed by 25 billion people being hungry forever.

The reason minimum wage workers have to work so hard is because they should actually be making much less than minimum wage. Since the government doesn't allow employers to pay employees the minimum amount they would actually work for, they have to make the workers work as hard as they are willing to instead.

For example if I am willing to work for $1/hr in McDonald's at a stress-free pace, and tell that to my boss, but the government forces McDonald's to pay me $7/hr, then my boss knows that he can make me work very hard in a very stressful environment because that $7/hr would make me very happy compared to $1/hr, so that happiness can be counter-balanced by harder work and more stress without me quitting.

It's neither, it's dumbfucks with a modicum of education attempting to do something they don't remotely understand. If you could literally crush up a loving spider, "get the DNA out of it," and "put it in yeast" to get vats of spider silk, that poo poo would be everywhere because we'd already have done it. In reality, producing recombinatorial spider silk is an exacting process due to the nature of the protein produced, as well as being readily biodegradable.

plus, in order to get much of the strength right for spider silk it has to be extruded in the correct way, something that you won't get from just grinding up bacteria.

Yup. Also, yeast are fungi, not bacteria. :eng101:

It likely won't ever get to that point, using nucleases invaribly results in a fitness defect, either from the DNA cutting, the expression of Cas9, or some unforeseen effect from the edit being installed. Natural organisms will just outcompete the edited ones...well, usually.

Hurring about a single species of insect being wiped out triggering an ecological collapse is loving stupid, we've wiped out WAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than one species out of ecosystems and the ecosystems all withstood it. This wouldn't even wipe out ALL mosquitos just the malaria ones.

And yeah, that IS some privileged first world bullshit, loving WOLVES nearly went extinct because they cut into the profits of a few hundred people, so gently caress your concern and snuff those skeeters out.

Exactly, it's a single species of mosquito. Literally EVERY other mosquito would be unchanged and unharmed. The dead malaria mosquito would be replaced by all the other species in the area. So, whatever, murder that species.
