You think people will just lay down and die?

Well yea, they tend to do that once they've caught some sharpnel

Wish granted, the chip erases your memories of games you've played every single time you sleep, along with all your other memories.

Just to clear this up because of the obvious US defaultism, Im not from the USA.

None of what you have said changes the fact that if genuine refugee intake was increased and replaced economic migrants there would be a net benefit to humanity in reducing human suffering.

The US has failing infrastructure, stagnant wages, high inflation, high crime rates and an over burdened and extortionately expensive healthcare system.

What about those factors speaks to more capacity? If you replaced every economic migrant with a genuine refugee there would be far more humanitarian benefit overall.

A counterpoint is that allowing undocumented economic migrants in (which makes up the majority of illegal immigration) then there is reduced capacity for a country to take in and integrate refugees who are actually at risk of death or persecution.

It is disingenuous to talk about illegal immigration as if all of them are at risk of death in their country of origin, and those that are genuinely at risk are refugees and able to apply for asylum once they reach a country.

There are 3 rocks on the bottom line of the F and only two on the top, he could already finish it but only by angling them in slightly and having a sharp |> sorta deal🤓

You don’t need to pose that question because you aren’t getting a 50,000mbps connection, as you’re not in China.

Persistence hunting is overblown, humans didn’t evolve the best brains to mindlessly jog after prey.

Work smarter, apply pattern recognition and build traps for your prey.

Steve was an amazing person but I wouldn’t describe him as chill.

He was pure overwhelming enthusiastic energy.

The US hasn’t won a war in a long time, my bet is on Canada by a landslide.

Are you saying illegal immigrants should illegally obtain firearms?

FYI a vasectomy isn’t a 100% guarantee against getting a woman pregnant as it can sometimes heal, even years after.

A DNA test should still have been ordered in that circumstance.

Try leaving a technically correct comment first.

Nah we have white eggs here too.

Obvious bait.

Even citing certain statistics is likely to earn a ban. It isn’t hard to imagine what, given that they are notoriously thrown around by actual racists.

Pretty damn sure you would argue that quoting certain statistics would be racist.

Very US defaultism of you.

Are these best shearers not still commoditizing the products of the body of another thinking being?

What does that have to do with the question of whether or not the process of shearing is violent?

How do we know your claims of non-violent sheering are true?

How do you know PETAs claims are true? ("As reported by PETA, one eyewitness to the process said")

I've been an eyewitness to the process, and I'm not idealogically biased the way PETA extremists are known to be.

Where is the sheep in this shed, now?

What? This sentence just doesn't make sense. The sheep don't live in the shed.

The females of the breeds I have observed don't have horns, and their tails are docked to prevent excrutiatingly painful death by flystrike.

The alternative to wool production in Australia is cotton, which is even more environmentally destructive than sheep are, mostly due to the sheer amount of water required for cotton production. People need clothes so these industries aren't going away.

Shearers have an interest in not causing unecessary harm to sheep, because it is counter productive. That's my experience.

The rest of your argument is moralising which I am uninterested in.

This is even funnier because black boxes are bright orange
