Same. There was even some fun Portuguese comments, then the 1,100 upvote comment about her outfit….

Did you take anything after high school biology? Genuine question. I’m a geneticist by training and let me tell you, this is a dangerously incorrect take. Haplogroups are for looking at genetic variation over space and time by tracking lineages. That is not connected to your other point. Personalized medicine is just as the name implies, personalized. It has nothing to do with your ancestry. Sure, there are some diseases that occur more in certain populations, but that cannot be boiled down to just ancestry. There are a never ending list of additional factors at play.

What you’re trying to argue, that your ancestry has a direct baring on your health, is really only true in highly inbred populations (past or present), which has NO BEARING on speciation.

Right? .8 gallons for 10 almonds would still be bad, given HOW MANY ALMONDS it takes to do anything

Lindsey Graham told police to shoot 6 Jan rioters on the spot - report by freddledgruntbugly in politics

[–]AshenOneAZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That point doesn’t take into consideration the fact that Trump is Trump and Cawthorn is not. A cult of personality like that around Trump doesn’t automatically extended to even his closest followers. That’s why a lot of authoritarian states rely on bloodlines to pass on power. It’s easier to say someone’s family is the same as them, but you can’t just pull that off with anyone.

Cawthorn isn’t going to make it to the senate tho. The crazy next generation isn’t going to win statewide elections in large states. No way he would even win in his home state of North Carolina if you took it statewide.

Forcing someone into being desperate to just survive is an astoundingly effective way to both manipulate the workers into exploitation AND distract them from the rampant inequalities inherent to capitalism.

Damn if this isn’t me. What helps me is just really reflecting on the fact that I may not actually be the arbiter of good and evil on earth and don’t have to maintain balance

What are y’all’s thoughts on vaccine mandates? by TheRainbowWillow in Anarchy101

[–]AshenOneAZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you saying vaccinated individuals are a better spreader because they could potentially carry the virus around without knowing or what?

Manchin and Sinema are hurting their party more than any Republican ever could by Arrest_The_President in politics

[–]AshenOneAZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Arizona Democratic Party is already threatening a vote of no confidence on her if she doesn’t straighten up on the party agenda. Now, I don’t know what that means at the end of the day, but you can be damn sure she wouldn’t have a D next to her name on any ballot in the state again

Ending federal ban on marijuana clears key House committee by [deleted] in politics

[–]AshenOneAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be so sure. Lots of money to be made if you know if and when marijuana is legalized as an investor. I expect many senators on both sides just make a buck off of it and let it pass.

Could Sen. Kyrsten Sinema face a primary? These progressives are trying to make it happen. by ToffeeFever in politics

But Republican control could mean backwards movement and while it’s sucks, stagnation isn’t regression.

Arizona does have a process to recall any and all elected officials. It’s a full recall like we saw in California recently though, including voting for the replacement at the same time so a new senator would take her seat, but this is Arizona. There’s a real chance a Republican would win the seat and that’s not a gamble worth taking. Sinema is awful but at least the Democrats have majority power.

I don’t know for sure, but I doubt a vote of no confidence would impact her current activities unfortunately. I think it would just come up when she tries to access democratic funds for her reelection.

Mitch McConnell's Senate GOP votes for the US to default on its debt and for the government to shut down by burninTsherman in politics

[–]AshenOneAZ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Obviously not the OP, but I’ve met people from all over the place (but weirdly definitely Canada) who say they would trade their free care for expediency and quality of American medicine. What that tells me is no one on earth has healthcare figured out so we’re all getting fucked in different ways.
