No shit sherlock.

Tehran has more than one suburb, and Tehran also isn’t the only city in Iran. If there are 400 bodies in one suburban morgue, and you extrapolate across the country, you’d hit 12,000 very fast.

I mean there’s the video of 400 bodies in one morgue. It could be fake, but the reporting is not based on vibes. Kind of sounds like you can’t accept that a religious fundamentalist dictatorship could murder its own citizens for thinking independently, despite that pattern repeating throughout history ad nauseum.

A single video shows ~400 bodies piled up in one Tehran suburb.

What the honest fuck are your talking about 600ish sounds more believable? More believable based on what? Based on you dick riding the Ayatollah?

I think the English media is misreporting this somewhat. He’s been remanded to jail pending trial as a potential flight risk, but he can leave jail by posting a bond / bail.

I think Swiss media just reports it differently because it’s more common to be let go with a promise to reappear for your trial and no bail, so they report this as his being remanded as a flight risk, whereby in American and Britain the default is typically being released on bail, so reporting that they were remanded implies that bail was denied.

In English language news this is more commonly headlined as “judge sets bail for Swiss bar owner”.

In this situation that would be the correct response.

Like go through IVF so that their children don’t have to.

The fact it is so prevalent in the gene pool suggests there may be some benefit we are unaware of. Further study is needed.

No it doesn’t. That’s not how evolution works. It is not perfect, it does not march towards good, it rolls random die and sees if that leads to having kids or not. If you get old enough to have kids and have them procreate it very much stops caring.

Edit: and it doesn’t ‘cause’, it puts you ‘at risk for’.

And I said that the mutation causes massive increases in the rate of breast cancer. Which it does. Read more carefully if you’re going to try to be pedantic.

That is what the gene does, the mutation does the opposite and causes massively increased rates of breast and ovarian cancer.

Yes, congratulations. Can you name a benefit of having the BRCA mutation?

If you had it, and you gave it to your daughter, how would you tell them that they have cancer because you thought the idea of using IVF to select against it was icky?

It’s already starting to happen and it’s not this crazy mass casualty event you make it out to be.

People regularly do IVF and screen out embryos that have inherited horrific genetic diseases, or say, genes that they know make out highly susceptible to cancer.

It doesn’t mean it will inherently lead to a slippery slope. This article is literally about how the UK needs to update its laws to prevent people from getting IVF done there but getting the genetic analysis done elsewhere and then ranking their options based on that to avoid the UKs current laws that would prevent a UK clinic from ranking them like that.

This is asinine. Diversity is a strength, that doesn’t mean that horrific genetic diseases that cause enormous pain and suffering are.

A lot of the nuance is also one of threat assessment, and risk tolerance.

We can prepare for a situation where we’re attacked by the US, but given all probabilities is that worth it compared to preparing for a situation where we get attacked by China or Russia, or is that even worth considering vs preparing for a situation where we can ramp up industrial military production as fast as possible and become a resource rich manufacturing powerhouse?

There’s no way of knowing which path the world will go down, and preparing for everything simply isn’t possible, so every decision is going to be a matter of what risks to take for what potential benefits.

At the moment, no, probably not, and it’s not either / or. Drones were a surprise in Ukraine, but their effectiveness has somewhat diminished as new counter measures like jamming, and just basic stuff like netting, are starting to blunt their usefulness.

Meanwhile they’re still getting hammered by glide bombs, modified heavy bombs that can use GPS to find their targets and are launched by traditional aircraft, far away from the front line, and some of their most effective weapons have been the Storm Shadow / Scalp cruise missiles, which are also launched from traditional fighter jets (which effectively act as a first stage).

And again, it’s not one of the other. In an actual war, either aggressive or defensive, you’re going to want a mixture of capabilities… You can’t always zerg rush.

Honestly, Germany should be thanking this man for pushing their country forward.

It directly led to a 12 year old watching his father shoot a cop in the head and then get shot multiple times himself and bleed out.

He was bringing a 12 year old with him to commit armed felonies…

I hope his supporters face lengthy ass prison sentences. This child just watched his father get shot to death because of them.
