What would happen if we sent people to Mars, it's a huge success, and then the Martians develop into a separate species?

That may be the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my entire life.

That reminds me of an H.G. Wells story called "The time machine" where the main character travels far in to the future and the people living on the surface of the earth are weak and smart, and then below the surface of the earth there are all these other beings that evolved differently, that are all dumb and strong. The weak ones control everything but the strong ones have to do all the work to keep the whole system running for both.

I could imagine a planet separation could cause a divergence, especially if travel is very difficult.

The content doesn't relate to the title very well? Where's the mention of Trump deciding to do anything

It actually is a prion disease, you were 100% correct, good guess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_wasting_disease

transmissible spongiform encephalopathy - a group of progressive, invariably fatal, conditions that are associated with prions and affect the brain

Agreed. D3rr really nailed this project. It's fantastic.

I do this sometimes, it can be nice. The problem is when you wake up too much in the middle then can't go back to sleep, that can happen sometimes.

I found this to be pretty insightful, not just about writing but how movies in general work. And TV, and books.

I guess they can basically rename it Wyoming disease heh

Oh dang I didn't realize humans could get Chronic Wasting Disease by eating contaminated deer meat

I was also reading they were doing simulated live-fire exercises, with automatic gunfight noises. Perhaps to train the populace to become accustomed to these noises as well... I also heard about these booms and gun fight noises coming from Houston in addition to LA.

I also read they were doing practice drills around the central bank buildings.

They always do. Everyone wants to believe they will keep making money, the same way, forever.

That's why market crashes are always more sudden than market rises. It takes most people by surprise, and then they act in a reactive manner which just compounds the issue generally.

There was no accident, they definitely did it intentionally, for profit. Bayer doesn't care, and why should they? They didn't really get punished in any serious way, unfortunately

magnora7 · 2019-02-16T19:45:16+00:00

Ooh I like the way you put that. Maybe any super-big thread that locks on reddit, then automatically has a post created on saidit, where people can continue the conversation. That makes a ton of sense. I will begin looking in to this.

Speaking to Germany’s Der Spiegel Online, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said “Iran has always supported the Jews. We are just against Zionists."

Someone gets it.

magnora7 · 2019-02-16T19:35:07+00:00

We're trying to make it as good as it can be :)

I agree there's more groups other than the US that can solve it, this is obviously a "foot-in-the-door" type of situation where they're hoping the bring the new coup in to the fold of US-approved politics, and drag the Venezuelan public along.

If the US govt really cared about humanitarian crises, they'd call in the Army Corps of Engineers and fix Detroit's public water system that is broken and full of lead. But of course it's not about helping people, it's about getting political points so they can push their profitable policies over the largest number of people in the world.
