There is not enough people on this site to properly achieve its purpose which is to post and discuss content. People would flock to old.lemmy.world if it was advertised. Probably seeing proper migration in a few weeks.

This is a game changer a baby was saved by gene editing and imo it's important to use this to now get rid of all bad diseases like sickle cell anemia, blindness, deafness, all internal diseases and stuff that just hurts people

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT APPEARANCE OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE MIND

Thank goodness this never happened to me cause my parents were good parents, it's just as much the childrens home as the parents and children should be allowed to say "I don't feel comfortable with another man or woman living hear" Its the parents responsibility to make sure their children are comfortable and feel safe around a new adult. The parent should plan a public meet and greet parent, child, step and after each one the children should have the right to say no more and it end there.

Okay, so we know Eukaryote-synthesis happened multiple times, because both Mitochondria and chloroplasts were independent simple cells as one point.

So maybe in the early says of Eukaryote-synthesis when the earth was being poisoned by oxygen and snowball earth was happening the selective pressures caused dozens of Eukaryote like cells to evolve, and for even a tiny span of time maybe 30,000 years or less or even 100,000 years privative tiny multicellular formed with endless forms and systems that would have looked like dozens of alien linages unrecognizable, and that by the time of the macro life explosion of the Cambrian only our linage survived.

Untraceable but the most biodiversity in the planets history which is why the current domain with Plants Animals and Fungi are so successful at avoiding total annellation.

So according to the ethics of veganism it's about valuing sentient life and animal consent.

So I pose a few questions.

1. Is it justified to buy animal based dog and cat food?

2. Is it justifiable to force a dog or cat to be vegan?

If 1 is justifiable then the claim that it's unethical for humans to eat meat is untrue since feeding your pets meat requires more animals to be raised for slaughter.

If 2 is true then it violates animal consent because there are zero dogs or cats that prefer vegan food to meat and infact are naturally omnivorous in the case of dogs or pure carnivores in the case of cats.

So the logical conclusion would be owning meat eating pets in impossible while being vegan.

Then it leads to the ethics of what happened to the breeds of cats and dogs no longer able to be pets.

If I can smell your perfume as you walk past and it lingers for a while I assume you don't wash yourself simple as that, why would you subject everyone and yourself to that if you didn't reek and need to cover it up. The only person who would smell you is the person in bed with you.

In the United States we are under at will employment in every state but Montana. Essentially, hire at will fire at will quit at will. This is not good for employees and I'd argue employers too. My proposal.

Mandatory contract employment for all non Independent contractor employment (Independent contractors must be entitled to their own hours & be paid per project/unit of work) Contracts would have set limits minimum of 12 months, maximum of 5 years. (exception for seasonal employment) The contract would be required to specify all policy rules, what hours they will work and regulations of the company, the starting pay, the frequency of raises and how much the raises are, the expectations to receive raises.

Employment courts would be set up where a fired employee would be allowed to appeal a firing in where the company would have to show cause, by showing a legal rule was broken and that there was consistent and equal enforcement. If found to have cause the employee forfeit unemployment insurance, if shown to not have cause the employer must either keep them employed with 1.5 backpay for days not worked or pay out their contract.

Conversely if an employee wants to quit they must show good cause (harassment, unequal treatment, breech of contract) or buy out said contract either directly or by monthly payments)

If either the employer or employee violates the law they can be held in criminal contempt and jailed until bailed (which will be paid to the other party) or stipulations met or contract would have naturally expired.

This imo would be far superior to the nonsense we have currently.

Data inverted for post. Just ignore the - symbol

This shows the height distribution between males and females. Example almost 100% of people under 5 ft are female

There is a real change to finally have a free and prosperous democratic state in the middle east. Now is the time to offer aid and man power to rebuild and and help transition to democracy.

Ways they could do this.

1. Send money and people to help rebuild the infrastructure. Paving new roads, rebuilding homes and appartments, and getting businesses going with a proper currency.

2. Train the civil servants to they can get things working properly.

3. Host the constitutional convention and steer them towards a proportional electoral system and decentralization. This is important, they need a constitution that protects their values and gives each ethnicity their own autonomy which is important to cool tension. Proportional representation will prevent one party from taking control. If each group has a seat at the table and is able to agree on the constitution it will heal the country.

There is really no downside to getting a democratic ally in the Middle least that will act a force of peace.

There is so much discussion and uncertainty on species when its really very simple. We can add categories under species for more specificity but the definition of species must be objective and true. A species is any group of creatures that can reproduce and produce fertile off spring. This is a clear line that objectively determines where 1 species ends and where 1 species begins.

Now we can use another term either subspecies or breed, which can be described as a population within a species that predominantly reproduces within their subgroup. Problem solved? This allows for cases where 2 subgroups of animals can reproduce with each other but rarely do and completes the tree/pyramid of life.

Decentralization is obviously the big thing about the Fediverse but is it TOO decentralized to gain traction?

There is no reason why they have to be fully separate domains in the same branch. You can set up a system of fully independent moderation and extreme levels of customization while having them all on one site with a front page that allows everyone to see whats popular.

A front page wouldn't prevent individual subgroups from requiring approval to join, it wouldn't prevent subgroups from banning those it doesn't want. It doesn't prevent users from blocking subgroups that it doesn't want to see on the front page.

What would be most useful is that now someone could create an account on the Reddit, Twitter, Facebook(?) alternatives and give them access to every community, and then allow each community to set its own rules, and customize its own to be unique while having a unified product to "sell" and get people to move.

Hot take? Blue Sky should be worked with to join the Fediverse as the twitter alternative and Mastodon should work to be the Facebook alternative

TLDR: One front page and general site for Lemmy, Mastodon....and to sign up and see whats popular and then have fully independent subgroups.
