No.

However, anything that requires security clearance or is PR for the employer will (in the US at least).

If you want a job that needs clearance, I recommend closing your social media now, stopping all drugs now, and wait at least 7 years before applying to those jobs. Limit travel. Work to have any mental health records destroyed (idk if you can actually do this) and cancel therapy. Stop using Lemmy, and don’t do anything that remotely indicates that you associate with divergent cultures (i.e. communism or anarchism).

For PR - just stay off social media and drugs and don’t talk about work except in an extremely positive way.

If you guys need ideas on how to solve the conservatives pushing it, we did find out a way to scare them recently.

What infuriates me is that there are those that make 6 figures as being able to potentially make 7. And sure, some of them might.

But are they brain surgeons that have such a specialized life saving surgery that by the nature of economics pushes the value of their skill exceptionally high? Nope.

Hell, I make 6, and I’ll admit, I have a lot more than a lot of people. I’m 2-3x the median of my area. I can’t buy a house. I own a 7 year old RAV4. If I was better managing my money and not having to pay out my ass for my ex wife, sure, things would be better.

It’s not at all difficult to find how just a little less income makes life much harder. It is VERY difficult to see how someone who has so much money can be remotely ok with people having it harder than them.

Those pulling in 7 figures without highly valuable skills should be dehumanized. Because they have abandoned what has helped humans survive at all. Each other.

The public response was generally not sympathetic.

The words they use are an attempt to weaken the impact of the hit. The public response wasn’t sympathetic, it was generally celebratory.

The elite cannot fathom being anything other than better than those below them. Deserving. They “got theirs.”

Maybe it was the significant amount of lead in the atmosphere for a long time that caused widespread brain damage, but it’s so obvious how disconnected from reality they are. Thompson’s death highlighted that reality applies to them too, and they can’t handle it.

“Amazon, which has appealed the union certification, claims the Teamsters have coerced workers, accusations the union denies.”

Oh this is so stupid. My parents even fall for this shit. Any “coercing” going on is the workers pointing out that without the union things won’t improve, and likely get worse.

The 2028 totally-not-an-organizef-general-strike is desperately necessary.

Nah, not GMT. UTC. It’s the more accurate successor, and all computers already use it.

Not to mention, everyone will always know what time you are talking about anywhere in the world, and based on your own experience, you know if it will be during the day or not.

Timezones will no longer matter, making software handling time so much easier.

Is it 0? No?

Have a ways to go then.

See I didn’t know that, cool thanks

Yes, it cannot be created naturally.

The concern is that if one of the mirror proteins is able to be cloned naturally, then we would have a problem on our hands.

However, those mirror cells would need a supply of “mirror food” such as “mirror sugar” in order to survive their natural lifespan. And then they would need to break apart into the mirror proteins that can be cloned. Racemic drugs like Thalidomide do not behave the way they are talking about in the article.

I have my doubts that this is an actual concern. It’s not even similar to prions - prions are misfolded proteins that have the same chemical make up, but the natural enzymes end up cloning those over the natural ones because they are easier to make.

Correct. It’s also a much simpler organic molecule than any of the proteins they are talking about creating.

I know I just responded, but I read the article, and the drug page, and discovered the thing we’re talking about. Racemic organic molecules are not the same thing here.

These are specifically proteins used for cellular life. These are significantly more complex, as there are no natural bindings between the two. To note this from Wikipedia:

Examples include thalidomide, ibuprofen, cetirizine and salbutamol. A well known drug that has different effects depending on its ratio of enantiomers is amphetamine. Adderall is an unequal mixture of both amphetamine enantiomers. A single Adderall dose combines the neutral sulfate salts of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine, with the dextro isomer of amphetamine saccharate and D/L-amphetamine aspartate monohydrate. The original Benzedrine was a racemic mixture, and isolated dextroamphetamine was later introduced to the market as Dexedrine. The prescription analgesic tramadol is also a racemate.

We know that those drugs aren’t great in pregnancy, but Adderall specifically does not cause birth defects. Again, these molecules are significantly less complex than any protein they would talk about here.

Well that answers my question if mirror cells need mirror molecules.

They just die and break apart turning into mirror molecules. Oh well.

Heads up divers, these guys do not fuck around.

They ain’t mindless bugs, or robots, they are squids. They are intelligent, they have the technology, and I don’t understand how their armor and shields work at all. And they fly and shoot. And throw grenades, and swarm. And have flying saucers.

It’s wicked fun

It’s a 4 man warthog. Has a heavy machine gun mounted on top with 4 clips.

I’m being honest with you, I don’t think I’ve seen him outside before.

As a side note, I recommend reading a lot of Buddhist writings for everyone!

It’s cool how something so old has found its way to being useful in modern clinical psychology.

Interesting to note, they mentioned the Florida woman’s name, but not the judge’s.

Interesting, interesting, interesting.

I take it that was the the information they could get.

Wait how would the mirror cells consume anything that normals cells do?

Wouldn’t they be entirely dependant on mirrored organic molecules? Which we dont have anyway?

I wonder what people will do about that.

Nothing? Or cheer?
