honestly, if there were some of those fancy new GMO varieties like golden rice, designed for more nutrition, better taste, etc on the market... i'd happily snack on em. i don't give a damn about frankenfoods just because they were designed via "scary modern GMO" methods. to be honest, it's a bit less scary in a way than conventional breeding methods because the safety testing GMO crops go through is more rigorous - as far as i know, no one really checks a new "conventional" breeding method tomato to make sure it hasn't mutated to have some new deadly toxin, or elevated levels of solanin in its fruit along with its lovely new look. maybe i'm wrong. <_<; it certainly COULD happen though.
but of course, every time it dips into GMO territory, people scream MONSANTO and immediately confuse the scientific technique with a specific company - just like people assume that everyone in an entire country is all the same. (as our lovely republicans vs democrats vs independents can point out here in the US can tell you... LOL NO. and that's just a few main categories.) science can be used for good or abused. genetic modification can be used for good or bad, just like anything else. the technique in and of itself, however, is nothing more than a more efficient method for changing DNA around. there's nothing inherently different from a GMO than a normal organism that somehow was bred to reach the same exact DNA. if you ate the two, your body wouldn't care which was which - both turn into ordinary calories. or if the GMO killed you, so would the other organism, because both would be exactly the same amount of poisonous to you. (why were you eating a deathcap? why was there also a GMO deathcap? who knows? rogue mad scientist i guess.)

cannabinated said: it broke the us
what broke the US was a complete lack of disregard for mother nature. too much of the US culture revolves around ignoring things you cannot see here. don't see racism happening in front of your eyes? doesn't exist. don't see blatant sexism in front of you? didn't happen. even small acts of such get conveniently ignored for the sake of "keeping the peace, don't make waves, don't get political, ESPECIALLY in the workplace/home/pretty much anywhere". if it cannot be seen, it doesn't exist.
you cannot see a virus with your eyes, therefore it doesn't exist. the people that are dying in the hospitals, the overcrowding? no one's seeing said overfilled hospitals. they're just statistics. easily ignored. they just see annoying masks, mild inconveniences, and all the true horrors are hidden away...so it doesn't exist, until it hits them personally. this is what happens when you treat an entire nation like a bunch of swaddled babes, idiots who can't handle hard truths. when you coddle them, keep them away from uncomfortable reality. when a real crisis hits that requires critical thinking and independent thought... you discover they really have become a country of children, because you never allowed them to grow strong, never allowed them to handle any burdens and develop. they were just kept blind to reality, told that america was #1, our healthcare was amazing, that the american dream was strong, that everyone just had to get a good education and they could hit it big and live comfortably in life... and that everyone was treated fairly. and people bought it.
meanwhile, much of the other first world countries are pretty much looking at the US with something akin to fascinated horror.

I think that's really sad. AFAIK, there's no 100% evidence that it actually originated in China in the first place.
But hey, America gotta have an enemy, right?
If it aint a war on communism, it's a war on drugs. If it aint a war on drugs, it's a war for oil (on terror, apparently). It it aint a war on a virus, it's a war on China, because they're filthy or something. And it it aint that, it's a civil war, because war is cool, right?

I think originally it was poor people but I'm not sure that is representative of the bat eating crowd today.

Eating bats and other bushmeat is often very traditional. It has less to do with class and more to do with traditions still held from we were still more reliant on hunting and gathering rather than almost solely dependant on agriculture. Things like eating the grosser parts of animals and offal comes from being poor for generations but also certain cultural culinary traditions involving texture flavor and techniques. People just simple like what they grew up on and the cycle continues. If you grew up eating rotted fish jizz with jellyfish some salty pig eyeball might be pretty good. From the American perspective it may seem extreme and wierd but from the people from other cultures it is completely normal. So its easy to just say they eat gross food cuz they've been poor for generations but really the truth is its much more complex and one must obtain a true knowledge of the history and traditions of a people to discover a true appreciation and understanding of how these culinary practices came to be.

“A Massachusetts Republican party leader who contracted COVID-19 and spread it to his family has reportedly traced back the infections to a largely maskless holiday party held at the White House on December 9
"Well, lets put it this way, when I went down to Washington, D.C. for the White House Hanukkah event, I was perfectly fine, and three days later after that event, I was in the hospital at Brigham and Women's ready to be put on a lifesaving ventilator," Mountain told WHDH on Monday.”
https://www.newsweek.com/gop-state-leader-catches-covid-after-attending-white-house-party-maskless-200-guests-1557626
He was hospitalized and in the ICU a second time after getting discharged the first time.
But how could anyone predict that would happen? He says he finally believes in masks now though

It is unbelievable how many CNAs at this facility I am testing at refused their vaccines after bitching all year long about having to get tested weekly. They better get used to it if theyre gonna be a antivaxx shitbirds. Newsflash: the regular population would love it if testing and vaccines were so accessible to them.

Because the UK isn't involved in any of those wars either, right?
