Gattaca was taking a lot of license for the sake of the movie. A lot of diseases are multifactorial and while genes might play a role, they’re not the only factor and often not even the main factor. The movie ignored things like epigenetics, early life exposures, lifestyle, age, sex, and just plain variance that are all factors that can play into chronic diseases.

That being said, allowing parents to make decisions based on genetic testing isn’t itself eugenics. Eugenics is a top-level idea revolving around the idea of improving the quality of human genetics as a whole. And that requires an institutional judgement of what are good quality genes and bad quality genes, which necessitates us saying some people are better quality than others and opens up the door to racism/homophobia/transphobia/ableism/etc. Eugenics is always bad, while personal medical decisions based on genetics can be reasonable.

Old Fashioned. It’s one with a huge variation in flavor from bar to bar, so it’s always interesting to see how they do it.

Either The Simpsons (1991) in a restaurant or Top Gun (1987) at someone’s house. Can’t remember the exact order.

The Infiltrator

Why would this make a difference?

Chicago dogs are their own thing, though. The rest of the ingredients other than the mustard have a combined flavor profile similar to ketchup: ketchup is basically a poor man Chicago dog.

Also, their poppy sees hot dog buns are a weird pick.

I’ve never been the hugest Sriracha fan. Sriracha paste is better than the sauce, but I’d rather do any other hot sauce.

The only food where ketchup is close to king is hamburgers. But Piri Piri and Heinz57 sauce are both better.

Ketchup is good on hot dogs along with mustard, but mustard is superior.

Actually, I thought of one: a Philly style steak sandwich.

I was going to settle for Biden, but I am excited to vote for Harris.

Pretty sure you’re shitposting, but for any parents who don’t know, it means “down to fuck.”

Endless Sky. And AisleRiot Solitaire.

As someone who has played Minecraft, I’d be more terrified.

Apple has actually built a nice ecosystem. Apple Pay, Apple CarPlay, etc. are just more widespread and consistent than their Google alternatives. For example, my current car and every car I’ve rented in the past 5 years have Apple CarPlay, but only one rental actually had Android Auto (my current car does not.)

Plus I don’t really feel like reinstalling all new apps, getting new games, etc. And while I like software freedom on my PC, I don’t mind a walled garden on my phone.

Nah, being happy that others are happy isn’t egotism, it’s being a functional social creature. Making a charitable decision at your own expense is a good thing, and feeling good about the decision or being congratulated by someone else does not negate that.

You sure?

Chiropractic is literally based on the teachings of a ghost while haunting its founder.

No, really. Look it up.

I’ve never asked what “shinola” is

Let me clarify that for you.

You can force one with the -D (development branch) flag, but otherwise it doesn’t get pushed until 24.04.1.

I personally have Xubuntu on multiple machines (I think 3 currently?) And Ubuntu server with i3wm on a 4th.
