because this is Lemmy it’s impossible to know if this comment is sarcastic or genuine.

meanwhile there’s a very disappointed dude at a furniture store like:

it’s not about them being alive; embryos are alive, that’s not even disputed. it’s about whether the life is a person. if you think the babies are more important you’re already conceding the embryos don’t have personhood, or at least not to the degree that babies do.

either case they shouldn’t have the same rights as actual people. if you think an embryo is a person then you can’t choose the couple babies over so many people. or if you do it’s still going to be fun hearing you try to justify it without conceding.

that’s a good steelman. but this is why I think the better argument is Hasan’s usual hypothetical about this: there’s a fire in a hospital and you can only get into one of the rooms in time to save some people. do you go into NICU where you could save a couple babies or to the IVF section where you can save thousands of embryos?

yeah they couldn’t even come up with anything how lazy is that

that’s a big-ass stamp

that’s an izzard bit!

because expensiveness is a scale that starts from 0 so you always know how expensive everything is. cheapness works the other way, so there’s no starting point. that means there’s no way to quantify how cheap the first thing is, in order to double that. in your example gasoline would have to be the least cheap thing possible, which means nothing can be more expensive.

it’s like saying someone’s twice as short as someone else. half as tall makes sense, twice as short is a weird way to say it because how short is the first person?

this seems more about protecting the books from the way people crack their drinks open.

i mean they do have less plastic than before.

2x cheaper is a crazy way of saying half as expensive.

no, maybe I’m prejudiced against rocks

Elon? where?

what’s Orion?

ever since feudalism fell, dipshits all over the world have had one thing in mind: bring it back. now they’re almost there. and the peasants are all too ready to give it back.

yeah that’s what i meant
