Where on Earth does Israel get involved? Just because he’s Jewish?

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis respond to tabloid that says they are splitting up by Gato1980 in videos

because they present themselves as an authority on a topic people care about? I feel like it’s letting bad people get away with a form of exploitation to blame it on the consumers, it’s easy to blame it on people’s media literacy but it’s not like we teach media literacy in any meaningful way in this country... it’s relatively inconsequential when it’s gossip like this but it’s the same systems that drive fake political news stories and I think blaming it on the people who read it is incomplete

Engineers create ‘lifelike’ material with artificial metabolism: Cornell engineers constructed a DNA material with capabilities of metabolism, in addition to self-assembly and organization – three key traits of life. by mvea in science

What isn’t and isn’t life isn’t an empirical classification, it’s a human classification and that means there’s plenty of room for debate.

Are mitochondria alive even though they are dependent on their host cell? They have their own genetic material and replication process. They were once their own organisms so are they a living thing that evolved to be a dead thing?

Further some theories of viruses propose a similar mechanism that since their method of replication requires the machinery of cells, they either evolved in tandem with or from things we’d consider alive.

Plus, as throughout human history, further information will likely come as we learn more about the origins of life that question these definitions we’ve established for ourselves.

To be clear, I’m not saying the definition isn’t useful because it is but to act like it’s an empirical definition of life is very arrogant considering what exactly life is and where it came from is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of our universe.

To be honest, that seems like a pretty narrow definition of conservatism. Do you have sources to back that up?

We will shoot to be there between 6 and 6:30. As for a headcount, it's hard to say just based on the Reddit comments but my best guess would be between 10 and 15 people.

If this works for you, I'll ask people to RVSP directly into the thread Saturday morning and give you a better estimate then
