The fastest way to kill something special is to compare it to something else

Gene Editing Cocoa... Mars is gene-editing cacao trees in California. The pollen carrying the proprietary DNA will reach West Africa. So who now owns the cacao tree?

Under existing patent law, the smallholder farmer whose trees get cross-pollinated by engineered pollen could lose ownership of the next generation of his own trees. The U.S. and Canadian Supreme Courts have both ruled that ownership of a plant is no defense against a patent on its genes. Cacao is self-incompatible and depends on cross-pollination. There is no biological defense against engineered pollen drifting in from a neighboring plantation.

Mars has been running a CRISPR cacao program at UC Berkeley since 2018. Across eight years of press releases, university announcements, and trade coverage, I cannot find a single public statement about how the engineered cacao trees will be prevented from cross-pollinating their neighbors. And beyond.

Eight years. No containment disclosed.

The technology to build the fence into the seed has existed for thirty years. A 2023 review in the journal Plants catalogs the options. The Berkeley-Mars team has not used any of it.

If you own the gene, you own the fence. Or don’t plant it.

SWEAT EQUITY... means forced or low-paid prison labor — basically “working for the state with your sweat.”

Tip: don’t end up incarcerated and working prison jobs becoming part of the prison labor system or “a slave to the state”

Sometimes, reality hits you hard Bro..

The one who drove to Tampa to commit the murder is 20 years old and crying the most. You had 3 and a half hour fucking drive from Jacksonville to Tampa to change your mind. Then shakes him before killing him, thought you'd get away but instead you got caught and is gonna do life. Now you crying.

I always think of the consequences before I do something that's why I've never been to jail. Plus, killing someone I don't know that didn't do me anything, because of a diss track is not worth going to prison for.
20 years old, never gonna have sex (with a woman) and you'll most likely get fucked too. no more beaches, clubbing, I mean, just look at the things you'll NEVER, EVER be able to do again... EVER!
