Marcos Questions ‘Secret’ Duterte Deal with China on Sea Dispute

The previous administration made and respected a gentleman's agreement in the area. This isn't a question of sovereignty, but of whether the Philippines is under an obligation to respect deals made by previous administrations.

Chinese cars are so fucking good for 10k though. It's like just strictly a superior product on the low end of the market.

They were banned for telling someone that posted MBFC to shove [MBFC] up their ass. Decorum, please.

The articles suggest that it may be beneficial for Type 1, but that's unconfirmed. The nature of early-stage clinical trials is that people don't really know how things will work. That's the point of the trials.

Citing MBFC without a supporting claim that discredits the article is lazy and does not benefit the discussion. Comment removed.

Lemmy is a news aggregator. Why wouldn't you find out about an early-stage clinical trial on Lemmy?

Any such treatment, even if it works, would take decades to pass through the various approval stages before being released to the public.

Rice is easy to store and transport because it doesn't really spoil. Is basically a supercrop in that regard.

It's not exactly the end of the world to implement terminator seeds... The reason it hasn't been implemented is because it's not an issue. This is a non-issue that's getting blown out of proportion.

Farmers will opt to maximize profits given all else equal. The license is a cost of goods sold and gets factored in when farmers decide what to plant. Farmers aren't forced to plant golden rice.

MBFC is a joke that evaluates factuality based on how well it aligns with the state department. We already know this.

DolphinMath is a propagandist that uses MBFC to whitewash propaganda. We also already know this.
