  • Nah, just filters out those that are weaker/less resistant.

    Everyone has radiation resistance. Our DNAs repair mechanisms protect us from DNA errors from all sorts of sources.

    A region where high radiation exposure becomes daily life simply makes the this trait the dominant one for animals to live long enough to procreate, meaning the ones with the best mechanisms will survive, the others die.

  • A mutation for having a higher radiation resistance or higher resistance to cancer is something that already happens in nature, but in most of the animal world those are relatively useless traits, normally cancer doesn't develop fast enough to stop procreation.

    In Chernobyl, the highly elevated radiation would normally kill animals before they can even breed. The ones that don't have the resistance die before they get the chance, the ones that do have a higher resistance breed.

    With humans in the modern age, a resistance to cancer or radiation trait never gets the chance to become a dominant evolutionary trait as most all people only develop the cancer later in life and the ones that do get cancer early more and more often can get treatment giving them a chance to procreate even when they got cancer young.

    Outside Chernobyl, there is no evolutionary pressure for a trait like that to become dominant.

    Living long enough to procreate is the primary drive in nature.

    We generally don't see fast evolutionary changes in nature because nature doesn't change quickly often.

    Leave it to us, humans, to create situations where the change is drastic and quick.

  • If I were Zelensky, I'd only allow Tucker to visit if he went to a specific location, was stripped completely naked, cavity searched and then brought, blindfolded, to an undisclosed location.

    And then I'd still do the interview over Zoom.

  • She really doesn't want to be employed as an actor or anything short of a Fox or OANN pundit ever again hu.

  • The US showing any sort of internal strife is Viagra for their (forced) "unity" boners.

  • The thing that hit me with sadness most (aside the horrible murder) is that when you see pictures of Brianna, her eyes are full of life and happiness.

    And then you see pictures of these two, devoid of any spark. Dead inside.

  • And then people wonder why as a neurodivergent person, I've passed over several obscenely lucrative contracts simple because they required me to go to the US for any extent of time.

  • Cached pages haven't worked on many sites for several years already.

    And for specific types of sites, it 100% still is needed and a great tool.

  • Your and jorandlunds posts are in exact opposition to each other.

    You say the Caucus doesn't matter and Primary does.
    He says the Primary doesn't matter and the Caucus does.

    Which is it.

  • Took them long enough.

    If it was the reverse, the Satanist would've been in jail right away and probably have been charged with a flurry of charges that aren't even relevant to the event.

  • So there's really no point to the review process considering it can be overridden and it doesn't even take the President himself to do it.

  • I was wondering about that.

    Did they actually ever get security clearance?

    The issue seemed to be that they couldn't (due to clear links to questionable money sources and contacts) and still got all the sensitive info.

  • Considering all the crazy you see coming out of the US, this title makes perfect sense.

  • Tens of thousands.

    Fast approaching 30000.

  • Taylor Swift is internationally liked and considered a pretty business savvy person, especially for an artist, with all the moves she made to make her music her own again by re-rerecording it.

    Trump is an international laughing stock and considered an absolute conman and fraudster who got rich victimizing the rich and poor alike, with all the charity scams, taking dirty money from Russia and reporting fake values for his properties to sucker banks into lending to him.

    While he's at least equally well known, it's not because he's popular or liked. It's because he's a big fat orange flag.

  • "There's a lot of junk in this trunk" works too.

  • The "AI" or "Photoshop did it" excuse is the exact same as "I WAS HACKED".

    It's a generic bullshit excuse when people are caught doing or saying something stupid.

  • I've been looking into that here and so far it's not accepted as valid (or legal to use MDMA) and while it looks promising, me being neurodivergent has my psychiatrist and psyhcologist a bit apprehensive to experiment with it.

  • Every fracture, bruise and STABWOUND I've had as a 6ft1 230lbs dude, in my 45 years on this earth were caused by one 5ft2 woman.

    That 18 year relationship left me with serious PTSD, constant anxiety I'll get a call she killed herself, constant anxiety she may seek contact again and severely aggravated my pre-existing dislike for any sort of physical contact.

    It took well over a year before I was able to even hug the woman that is now my wife.

  • We're wired to save, if we make enough money to be able to save.

    Most people I know do save, put quite a bit of effort in it too.

    And then when they've saved up some money, one of these unexpected expenses happens that resets them to zero.

    And these unexpected expenses keep happening at a shorter interval, causing people that do save to also not have enough buffer to pay for a $1000 unexpected expense AGAIN.

    I also know quite a few people that saved a lot over the years, to then see it go up in smoke when COVID hit and life became 50% more expensive in the span of 3 years.

    It's rather revolting how transparent these narcissistic projections have become.

    It's never their (the people defining the rules of the economy, like this expert) fault, it's always the victims (all of us).
