Hey, anybody around?

Rory Alsop

13:27

@Gryphon hey, yes.

Gryphon

18 hours with only one message doesn't happen too often round here.

Just wondering if anybody was around.

Separatrix

13:55

I'm not here

but I am getting sucked into pointless arguments in comments again :(

Ferret Civilization

Someone wrong on the internet?

Separatrix

Yep

Green

There's no rest to be had when someone is wrong in the internet.

Anyone have thoughts to share on that eugenics question?

Separatrix

@Green If that's opinion based then we're all going to die

Secespitus

@Green That ones starting a closing war. Good thing you can only vote once on each question. It's been closed, reopened without any edits and now there is a close vote again.

Separatrix

The thing is that eugenics was accepted scientific policy for decades, having been done it became morally repugnant but was it ever disproved or just abandoned for moral reasons?

I still hear the underlying thoughts behind it occasionally, "chavs shouldn't be allowed to reproduce" and similar

Green

14:16

@Separatrix I think a lot of people have thoughts like that.

@Separatrix My guess is moral reasons. Selective breeding of humans should work just as well as selective breeding of dogs or horses.

Rory Alsop

@Green it does. And has been proven effective

Morally very questionable, but it has been done deliberately, as well as inadvertently in small isolated communities

Separatrix

Most of the arguments are with the premise of the question, that it would ever be needed. It's controversial, the premise may be incorrect, but that doesn't make it an invalid question.

So the real question is whether you could call it too broad

PatJ

Hello.

Green

@PatJ Hi!

PatJ

Are we killing inferior races again?

Separatrix

14:23

@PatJ Yep

Green

@PatJ That's the plan!

Separatrix

It's all the rage this week, special offers on genocide until Saturday

PatJ

Ha, I missed worldbuilding!

Green

I changed up my answer from commentary on why eugenics would be considered to a brief overview of how to do it.

@PatJ Welcome back.

Separatrix

First you pick on the communists

Then the trade unionists

Mind you, both those groups have effectively been driven out of the US. I wonder who they'll go for next, Muslims or Immigrants? Perhaps both.

2 hours later…

Bellerophon

16:16

They've changed the reviews icon again.

dot_Sp0T

@Bellerophon bloody ell

What wil they do next?

I say enough!

6 hours later…

JDługosz

22:22

Hmm, @Green is blue now?

PatJ

@JDługosz He must be coming toward us very fast.

Green

22:39

@JDługosz yep. Just to keep people guessing.

Shalvenay

23:21

hey there @Green and @HDE226868

@Separatrix pretty much both at this point, albeit not without drawing quite a bit of backlash

keep in mind that trying to say "just enforce the immigration laws we have on the books" is disingenuous, because the hornet's nest south of us is what's causing folks to cross the borders into the US, and there's a credible case for them being refugees from said hornet's nest

considering the current admin's thrown sand in the gears of the credible fear process...

Green

23:37

@Shalvenay hi!
