Go to 3D chaos and turn up the biological slider, and other settings, to see vein or protein like formations.

If you watched one per second, you would need to watch for 235 quintillion years before seeing them all, and 3.5 million years before seeing the same one twice.

But this is a type of knee jerk reaction confined exclusively to folks on the left.

Well, it’s a rather convenient shorthand to describe the set of views and positions (largely emotive and inconsistent) that characterize leftist thinking.

Well none that you gave a hoot about.

The “woke agenda” is a mainstream political shorthand. But I find it telling that you were able to infer that I was speaking about the left when I mentioned opposition to reason.

Well, you’re conflating a fringe movement of radical conspiracy theorists with the average person who doesn’t go along with the woke agenda. That in itself is an example of what I’…

I think civil discourse is possible if reasonable debate is allowed. Unfortunately, for one side, it appears that reason itself is problematic for them and they refuse it.

It is only possible as long as one side is able to have civil discourse, without labeling/demonizing/name calling and violently attacking their opponents. It’s quite hard to have a…

Not all drug crimes carry a death sentence in Singapore. Only meth/opiate manufacturing and importation above a certain threshold.

Keep spouting that nonsense. You’ve clearly never been close to a drug addict. As an addict told me once: drugs will take away everything you have.

Well, hey, if you’re willing to die on that hill, and feed your only child to the machine on principle, then I guess there’s nothing I can say that would change your mind. Personal…

Why do you answer?

It’s more like you go into remission.

Would you still think that if your only son became a heroin addict? Would you stand by your ideology in that case? Addiction is a life sentence.

Incorrect. Singapore has almost eliminated drugs and drug use entirely. I believe it has the lowest rates of drug abuse in the world.

If you want to prevent people dying of overdoses, then stopping people from starting would achieve that. “Decriminalization” is about treating the symptoms rather than the problem.…

Where I live, there has been some recent changes made towards decriminalising all drugs. Personally, I feel this is a populist policy. Why? I feel like there is no literature to su…

The thing that is, macroeconomic policy is already basically solved. It’s been understood for hundreds of years. But the lobbyists have succeeded in pumping misinformation and pois…

Why not encode them microscopically, using some kind of easily decipherable code? The main issue would be loss of language. You’d end up with a gigantic Rosetta Stone of indecipher…

Ministry of Truth. Orwell foresaw it.

Looks like people misinterpreted my point. It’s not the right to sell illegal items. It’s a right to sell your product without being compelled to do anything else from a “fairness”…

Actually, your comment is foolish. Allowing companies to not sell specialist tools to third party repair persons is not the same as selling weapons grade plutonium.

What about the right to produce sell any product you want to?
