Counterpoint: no. The sperm donor industry is rife with abuse. It shouldn’t be a thing.

If you need sperm, source locally. And get their full medical records so the poor kid knows what’s going on.

AI will cure cancer before human scientists.
Not because it’s smart or will figure it out on its own. It’s just a lot better at aggregating completely disparate pieces of information. A scientist researching in one field doesn’t hold the the whole body of knowledge of other fields. So it takes time to piece the bits together.
This is why discoveries are often made near simultaneously in different parts of the globe by different poorly. Just enough information gathered in just the right locations seen by people with the appropriate amount of knowledge.
With AI, that last bit gets faster and it will get the credit.

I want my name to echo through history, like Edison. Not forgotten, like those people he stole his ideas from.

So you’d take away the option to steal from a terf, and replace it with an option to pay the terf.
Sorry I’m still not seeing the logic here.

As with politics, purity culture leads to being ineffective.
Coalitions are important if you want to get anything done.

I have to imagine that those people are virgins, because no one is signing a 17-page contract prior to getting it on.
Consent is allowed to be simple as long as it’s obvious and real. I shouldn’t need a law degree to suck a dick.
- Comment on Happy Labor Day! 1 week ago:
Right. But back to the context of this thread: they’re all given work and they’re all real workers, even if their work isn’t ultimately providing dollars to the balance sheet. They still have a value to the company.
And all workers should have labor day off.
The original comic is being needlessly divisive.
- Comment on Happy Labor Day! 1 week ago:
The word meaningless is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Is it meaningless to sort and file reports? In the grand scheme of things, and to society, maybe. But not to the company that’s paying you. They have value from it.
I’m not saying the companies are hyper efficient with only purposeful work. I’m saying that companies aren’t intentionally throwing out money on work that they know is useless. They’re too greedy for that.
- Comment on Happy Labor Day! 1 week ago:
I doubt that. You could do the same thing with fake job postings if you really wanted, and it’s cheaper.
But let’s say you’re right. Those people would still be given lots of work and be busy, because if they were allowed to be not busy everyone else would see and not want to work.

Things don’t need to be revolutionary to be life changing. Could I have used the convection oven for this one slice of pizza? Sure. Would I ever? Hell no.
But yeah, microwaves really are neat. We’re going to fling these electrons around in these very specific magnetic fields and out pops light you can’t see.

No, it’s the same thing. You’re an arrow who jumps on the heads of enemies.
Wait, you didn’t think you were the person with the bow did you? The stealth archer is inconsequential to the story. It’s the arrow that matters.
