LOL. I mainly got the idea of using genetic modification to increase diversity of a small population from the book Seveneves.

Personally I was pretty disappointed in this movie. Felt like it was pretty boring for most of the middle. I don't think Pedro Pascal is a good fit as Reed. But this might just be the fact that I'm really tired of Marvel talking.
It seems very plausible that if you can make a generation ship, you could make something like CRISPR to artificially increase genetic diversity/eliminate potential birth defects. Or perhaps just store genetic material for more people than the actual colonists on the ship. You'd probably want to hedge your bets in case there's a low survival rate. There's a lot that could go wrong. Ecosystem failure, negative effects of radiation, or just good old fashioned murder.
Hm this one I don't really get.
I think the answer lies in the Hunter Biden charges. They can ask the question when purchasing a firearm and then charge with a crime later if they can show that the person lied.
Honestly wouldn't be shocked if they started going after recreational marijuana either. Some big liberal states have legal marijuana.
This is false. For example I have a pair of Carmina zippered boots that are definitely GYW.
Yes but he seems to be pointing out the irony in keeping the orca that stars in the movie captive. This was before that was a really mainstream sentiment.
Interesting comic. This seems a lot more pointed than his typical fare. I wonder if Larsen was an early anti-SeaWorld person.
Nest parasitism is not unique to cuckoos and you can't really put a value judgement on evolution. Brown-headed cowbirds are the most common nest parasites in North America. There's lots of species where the parents kill their own children if they either think they aren't strong enough to survive or if the food supply is too insecure to care for them. It's just nature.
Oh good it's the New 52 Joker bird.

I think that's just a potluck.
