i think the answer is pretty simple, they dehumanized palestinians to the point where this is like shooting game for them - a hobby.

it may or may not be in the future

the problem is bioreactors just don’t scale - at all. Maybe there’s some kind of breakthrough but my personal opinion (as a biochemist working with bioreactors) is that not for a long time.

This ban is completely pointless because lab grown meat will always be an expensive nieche product anyway.

not because there was any significant meaning or quality in dog meat

it actually tastes pretty damn good, somewhere between lamb and pork, imho.

an a5 wagyu steak, yum. Having said that, dog meat is equally delicious.

that’s just because they don’t interact with cows. Cows are fucking adorable derps, if you throw them a ball they will get just as excited as a dog does - at least that’s been my experience as a kid being raised on a farm.

Coercion into having kids due to government pressure or social norms seems a whole lot more wrong to me.

as someone who does not want kids and is constantly being pressured into it by inlaws, thank you for saying this. Every time i see my screaming, trantrum throwing nephews my belief is more reinforced.

I heard russians make excellent fertilizer.

I can think of several ways to redirect that energy for the good of mankind and I’m an idiot

I have to say kudos to you to be able to apply your vast physchiatric knowledge over the internet to diagnose this child and decide what’s best for him from one poorly written click-baity article.

because his intelligence hurts somebody’s bottom line

let’s not pretend that what he did is not theft.

Possibly. It has been like 10 years ago since I last flew through dubai though, so things might have changed.

Mach number depends on the (local) speed of sound, which depends on the temperature of the air - therefore on the altitude.

how exactly do you objectively decide that? please, specify the methodology, I’d love to hear it. If anything, the crime should be based on what makes it stick, which usually means proportional to the wealth. Obviously the higher the standard in the country the higher the fines are going to be, and that standard is pretty damn high in dubai.

e.g. if you’re living in india where everything is objectively cheap for people in the west and you visit germany, get a 500 eur speeding fine, you cannot just cry “it’s not proportional to my standards!!11!1”.

proportional to what exactly? to your poor ass, or to the rich dubai native? I would say the latter, because, you know, it happened in dubai.

punishemnt should be high enough so that next time he will think twice before he’s abusive. He was warned first, he said he didn’t care. He got a fine, he wasn’t happy with it either. So he’s in jail. I think it’s all perfectly fair. I bet my left nut he will never again be abusive to the staff in dubai.

I find it absolutely shocking how many people here are siding with the abusive asshole. 🙄
