Breeding unhealthy dogs could be called dysgenics. It’s like breeding better slaves instead of better humans.

Wolves are good, evolution worked. Pet dogs are extra lives producing added value to themselves and their owners.

Single-issue voters on the right, single-issue nonvoters on the left.

Without dog breeding, dogs would be still be wolves.

The only place with eugenics in human history is agriculture. There were many genocides done using eugenics as an excuse with no clue of genetics, and you blame eugenics instead of the murderers.

We have gene editing now, so it’s only a matter of cost when parents start customising their babies, which is a good thing because human variability will increase, making us as a species more resistant to unknown threats.

I saw Dark City first, liked it a lot, and didn’t like Matrix.

When I’ve decided something I bought a few months ago is perfect even after several washes, I try to buy another one, but that product is sold out and will never be seen again.

A phone can notice when it’s in the hands of a security expert and start acting normal. Before dieselgate, Volkswagen cars had been emissions tested for years without finding anything suspicious. Turned out VW used the car’s sensors to detect when it was being tested.

“Either they leave or I leave” would be setting a boundary. Get some other people on your side in it.

Which is exactly what they don’t want us to be able to discuss.

1. Helpfulness (Liberal benevolence) – Support good life sustainably, where good = all kinds of life having true knowledge of the world are free, but not to take freedoms from others.

(This would allow harm taxes, fines, prisons, mind altering, and just war against those breaking this law. The best compromises can be found by parallel experimentation.)

2. Proportionality (Prioritised egalitarianism) – Rank all life by its complexity so that life form importance: superintelligence > humans > animals > lower life forms > plants. Do it on a logarithmic scale so that differences of any magnitude between top and bottom life forms never lead to empathy disconnect justifying genocide, enslavement, or life imprisonment of sentient beings.

(This would allow forestry, agriculture, and livestock breeding/genetic engineering, but not intensive animal farming or hunting. Only animals died from natural causes could be eaten. The “natural causes” would then be engineered to minimise suffering and to metastabilise the ecosystem wisely, possibly adding mercifully killing hunters to control animal populations, and in the case of “intelligent” beings failing to control their reproduction, chances for them to risk their own life to gain freedom from static storage or death, with optional mind transmit for the mostly harmless, hoping that someone somewhere runs them on a computer.)

The lack of interpersonal conflict in Star Treks overseen by Gene Roddenberry is a good thing. Humanity got their shit together, made Earth paradise, and went exploring the galaxy and other frontiers in life. Shoehorning conflict and darkness into the newer series destroys what made it unique.

There should be a system that pays for producing value to all life. Something bigger than UN.

I recommend switching to camera native aspect ratio, usually 4:3. You can crop later.

The keyword is “flatbed”. Plenty around.

The keyword is “flatbed”. They are well available. Mine is a noisy Whirlpool MWF 421 BL with a glass floor and door, coarse pulse width modulation fractional power (overheat and cool down alternating), and a grill that doesn’t work at the same time with the microwave (heat first, then brown). I’m looking for a quieter one with inverter for real fractional power.
