It all started on board the cruise ship TS Bremen where I, Uwe Ludwig Horn was a waiter and assisted my friend Siegfried with his magic show.

That makes as much sense as The Matrix using people for energy. You can't feed people to keep them alive and get more energy out than just digesting (or in the Matrix burning) that food for energy.

But I'm keeping my cables. The poop will wash off fine.

I've seen this on Rick and Morty. Dude is in a simulation inside a simulation.

This has been going on for 15 years! You'd think the FDA would have shut down the apple farmers who grew on contaminated soil.

That's only because Ukraine is winning this week. A few months ago when Ukraine was losing Musk wanted Ukraine to surrender.

I thought the Hotzmann generator folded space but spice allowed them to navigate.

They are essentially the same;

A bullet shot from a gun is not the same as a bullet moved a few inches every year.

We already know about the devastating effects of invasive species where an animal was introduced to a new environment and had unexpected effects.

but not when it comes to whether or not we've genetically modified all strains of modern agricultural corn, GMO-labeled or not.

It's the details that matter. It can take decades before side effects are noticed. Like DDT and now neonicotinoids. GMO could be better or worse. Saying it's the same as natural selection is misleading which is why scientists use GM to mean direct gene modification, not natural or selective breeding.

And like GM technically including selective breeding if you look at the words individually, no one would confuse getting their New York MTA pass as including horse rides even though Transportation is the T in MTA. Actual scientists use GM to mean methods other than natural or selective breeding.

That's all beside the point that actual scientists use GMO to mean directly genetically modified and not selective breeding.

The speed of a technology is a substantial difference.

Claiming selective breeding is GMO because they are both artificial genetic modifications is like saying a horse and an Boeing 747 are both just transportation.

Are you saying the Bible is a lie?
