I am guessing they may mean "down range" but couldn't fit it on the sign, so they put "in range"?

That is not how your comment reads. It reads like you think every trait exists as an advantage and propagates because it is a benefit. Plenty of traits propagate as side effects, which is how their comment read to me.

I think the point the other guy is pointing out, is that good and bad evolutionary traits are often connected - or more helpfully stated, evolutionary traits can have both benefits and drawbacks which don't immediately seem related to the same trait.

It's quite possible that octopi sex dementia is just a drawback to another trait which is very beneficial, so the dementia was just a bad aspect of a good trait that propagated forward. This happens all the time in different animal biologies.

Not everything in evolution ends up having a point. So long as a problem does not impact the propagation of children it can end up moving forward to the next generation.

I would guess that if there is an Evolutionary reason, it's probably that octopi with this drive reproduced More than octopi that didn't.

"Universal enforcement" meaning what? On its face your proposal sounds fundamentally antithetical to what linux is. It's an open source environment, meaning literally anyone can create software and post it online. Are you wanting all directories to only accept flatpak? I don't think that would go over well.

Oh my bad, I misread the domain extension. I could see "Lemmy.bal-" and then it cuts off on Voyager. I read that as ".bla-"

Bruh who doesn't at this point?

Did you read anything about kuru beforehand? It's contracted by ritual eating in general rites. They also have no means of diagnosing prion infection in a corpse, which is why people would eat brain tissue with prions. It didn't spontaneously form in those victims, it was in the corpse. Overall, it could be avoided by just not eating infected meat, hence why Papua New Guinea did not collapse from kuru - it was rare to get it, and once the mode of transmission was known, it was much easier to avoid.

Chronic wasting disease was first observed in deer in the 1960s, and there is nothing actually confirming it's exact origin. it was first noted in deer herds being researched in Colorado, and as far as I am reading, it did not jump from sheep to deer.

We do actually regulate mad cow disease, going as far as culling entire herds of livestock and disposing of the meat. Outbreaks happen, yes, but we are keeping that spread down. This is also in meat that we sell at an insane scale, one which would not be replicatable with human meat without slavery.

With human donated meat, it's very unlikely you would get prions. Again, you are way more likely to get it from cow meat and deer meat.

Patriarchal values dictate that as a woman ages, she drops in value. That was the case for quite a while historically. When your value is intrinsically tied to your ability to make children, you become worthless as time goes on.

This is why me and my homies say 'fuck the patriarchy'

Said this on another comment: eating human meat does not increase your chance of prions. If you eat another human with prions disease, then you get it. But if you don't eat prion-infected meat, you don't get prions.

We eat deer, which also get prions. We also eat cow, which also get prions (mad cow disease, which also infects humans). We avoid getting prions with regulation of those markets. We could do exactly the same in this scenario.
