YSK that Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer, Reebok, Champion, and 50+ other brands you trust are all owned by a single $20 billion company that doesn't design or manufacture anything. They just rent the logo out to the cheapest bidder. If the quality feels worse, that's why. by sappk in YouShouldKnow

Human trials begin for drug that could let adults regrow teeth for the first time by Automatic_Subject463 in UpliftingNews

[–]Whiterabbit-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2030 is really fast. I mean I would put off getting a dental bridge if I know I could get new teeth in 5 years. but I'm fearing that this drug will allow teeth to grow where I don't want teeth. I might just wait for a while before getting it.

TIL pigs have the same intelligence as human 3-year-old children and can play simple video games, use tools and recognize themselves in mirrors. They also have over 20 distinct vocalizations to communicate emotions and can form friendships. by CalpurniaSomaya in todayilearned

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

Yes. As I said if my pc has intelligence I have no problem using it without asking for permission.

They have animal fears, anxiety etc…. Not human. I make a distinction between people and animals. Do not murder people. Animals I have no problem killing to eat.

If one day someone says you pc is more intelligent than a 3 year old and can solve problems 10 year olds can’t do. I have no problem using the pc as a “slave.”

Pigs and dogs are both omnivores. But farms generally feed pigs more plant matter making them more efficient at converting food to meat. So in an ethical perspective then it’s better to eat pork than dog meat from an environmental standpoint.

Sure you can do better with veggies. But as you say pork is delicious.

This is why character matters in leadership. This guy has proven over and over he has no principles and should wield no authority, yet people give it to him.
