As of right now we'd only have to quarantine the US... just like we might do in November

Oh god... I can feel it, I can feel the East Germans commenting "that's a Jägerschnitzel" and then the flame war with the Austrians kicks off.

🤤

Wait... is that a reference to the original Watchmen comic?

Enkrod ,

I remember you! From a discussion about people being barred from voting for certain criminal offenses.

Your username is very rememberable.

No, but the reason for it is one of safety, not morality:

Every bacteria, virus, fungus or other germ that can contaminate that lab and that meat is already adapted to hurt me, there is no species barrier. Nature generally abhors cannibalism because of this.

Now if you grow it in a lab, that might not be too much of a risk, but once you enter capitalist industrial production there are numerous incentives to cut corners and increase the risk of contamination.

Contamination also exists in factory farming, but at least there, there's a species barrier and the impact of that cannot be overstated.

Alternatively, you'll create a swamp of human meat factory farms that use huge amounts of antiviral, antifungal and antibiotic agents and just get soooooo much more effective in training multi-resistant germs, already adapted to human tissue.

If LGBTQ+ people serving to defend Ukraine don't receive better legal standing than they have right now, I would be opposed to letting Ukraine join the EU after the war.

The supposed western values Zelensky claims Ukraine is defending imo. include equal rights for Gender, Romantic and Sexual Minorities (GRSM)

My support during the war though is independent of that. Let Putin eat shit.

Oh Ukraine absolutely should be allowed to join NATO asap!

But the failure of many EU states to defend the rights of their citizens doesn't mean we should let more people opposed to those rights join the Union. I firmly believe that the EU should be the shining beacon on the hill. That we come together to defend our rights, ensure peace and seek cooperation across the continent, but always, always in the pursuit of the lofty ideals of humanism, the enlightenment and social justice.

I am fighting the right at home, I have no intend to supply them with reinforcements.

This is it, it's the perfect example of adaptation through sexual selection.

This is PATENTLY wrong. It's 1.49% of GDP, not budget.

Defense budget is 10.9% of the governments budget, it's the second largest budgeted item after social wellfare and in front of infrastructure (which is crumbling) and debt. To increase it to 2% of gross domestic product means spending an additional amount equal to the entire budget for education and research.

When the AfD marched through our cities with cries of "Volksverräter!", I should have recognized it as a declaration of intent.

Russia threatens Britain with retaliation if involvement in Ukraine war deepens ( www.pbs.org )

Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities and said it would hold drills simulating the use of battlefield nuclear weapons amid sharply rising tensions over comments by senior Western officials about possibly deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine....

Enkrod ,

What's Russia gonna do? Lose on two fronts instead of just the one?

Odds of a sexual abuser need not be high for the man, they're simply 0% for the bear.

How did I just stumble upon a wild Soviet Womble reference? Bwahaha

He's still calling birth control "morally unacceptable", continuing the anti-condom and therefore pro-aids rhethoric of the church.
