I mean, that has already happened in our history. The result is that the lion’s share of humans are 1-4% Neanderthal. Not to mention ancestry from Denisovans and possibly others.

The end result of a DnD world is a bunch of humans with slightly pointy ears and big teeth.

Are we talking brown bears or black bears?

Brown bears are violently territorial and will attack you for being in eyeshot.

Black bears are basically giant racoons and will move away from people - especially if you're making loud noises and making yourself look big - because they don't want that smoke. They'll only get aggressive if you surprise them or get anywhere near their younglings.

I'd probably take a black bear over a lot of dudes. As long as we got a good hundred feet or so of distance, Mr Bear and I ain't gonna bother each other.

Humans: Awwww he likes the baby Cat: Yes, this surface is both soft AND warm, I will sit here

Rabies kills people. Not vaccinating your pets against it is a moral failure. Honestly it should be compulsory.

" A moderator on the game's Discord server, for instance, said "watching u all cry, amuses me so much," while another said on Reddit that complaints about weapon nerfs were perhaps in reality a question of "skill issue." "

Are you kidding? That's fucking hilarious. Learn to use a different weapon than the railgun you absolute chuffs.

Healthcare accounts for around 1 to 5% of carbon emissions.

Meanwhile, the meat industry accounts for about 35% of carbon emissions.

Yah, healthcare is absolutely not the problem. Feel bad about the environmental impact of your medicine? You could probably make up for it with like one less meat meal a week.

EDIT: Archive.org link to bypass paywall for the article OP linked. Good read; they estimate healthcare as 8% of total emissions. Reading through, it seems it mostly focuses on insulin pens (which are an absolute godsend). I can't help but think that attempting to recycle those is entirely the wrong strategy, and that we should instead focus on reducing diabetes cases in the first place. Losing weight, reducing sat fats, and eating fiber are all correlated with reduction of diabetes risk. I think we need some good old big-government regulation to start penalizing foods that have those things in them. We're all paying the price for them already, time to start making the corporations do it instead.

I'm here for this. Make every headline as horny as possible.

I'm sorry, is the article quoting a fucking LLM as the interviewee? What the fuck is this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

ASS Club.

Nice.

Jesus fucking christ. This treats Biblical fanfiction as the foundation for modern realpolitik.

My thoughts exactly.

The Comanche raids on Mexico started after some Mexican territorial officials put out bounties on the ears of Native Americans that they didn't like. In response, the Comanche ravaged Mexico as far south as Mexico City (as they should have). Not to say the Comanche were nice - there were plenty of other tribes they ruthlessly dominated.

Do not colonize other planets. They suck. They have all the downsides of space habitats (needing sealed environment, etc), while also adding more (breaches now let in toxic dust instead of vacuum, cannot control gravity via spin, etc).

Just build O'Neil cylinders. If you can't do that, maybe work on stabilizing the ecosystem we evolved to live in. Nowhere will ever be better than here, folks.
