@Vermillion-Rx I agree the fentanyl is significant and could be/probably is entirely responsibly for the heart attack
Derek Chauvin doesn't deserve this
Pretty minor compared to war, but imagine being a police officer, arresting a criminal who dies as a result of the arrest, then ending up in prison and being stabbed repeatedly. The world has betrayed him. I just watched the video and it doesn't look like a murder to me. It looks like police doing their best to control someone acting erratically, who seems to keep repeating that he "can't breathe" even when there's nothing constraining his chest or neck.
@destraht Glad to see some people are making property-ownership progress
@firmware_pimp if you find what you seek, do share!
Anybody got working links to pizzagate threads/videos? I've watched some stuff on Podesta previously but it's hard to dig up again using search
Yeah, there are some details to it, and I agree that breeding with a severely inbred mate probably doesn't make sense from a fitness perspective. But still, there is the general tendency that some non-zero distance-from-self is better than continued breeding from within a restricted gene-pool which is basically guaranteed to lead to inbreeding. No, I don't see my relatives exhibiting signs of inbreeding, but I don't plan on testing the waters with the next generation either.
If you reverse the question, why would you want to encourage in-group mating? I don't see the genetic argument for this. I can see certain socio-cultural arguments, but not genetic arguments.
Why are you confusing in-group mating for inbreeding or close-relative pairing?

Here's an example about dogs: www.instituteofcaninebiology.org/blog/health-of-purebred-vs-mixed-breed-dogs-the-data
It's not black-and-white but there's a much longer list of genetic defects that are common in purebreds.
Another way of looking at this is that inbreeding is generally accepted as a bad thing, and mating outside your race is one way of avoiding inbreeding.
Of course if you take it too far and fuck a donkey, you might end up with infertile offspring, but I think there's an optimum distance-from-self for mating where the distance isn't zero.
In Korea they have an app to check that you aren't accidentally getting with your cousin, presumably race-mixing would allow them to have a higher degree of certainty that they aren't exposing themselves to inbreeding.
Now you're using Dogs are your example? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
It's interesting that this meme of all things has you thinking about reproduction. Circling back to your earlier question, "why shouldn't I get on board and cancel out some of the accumulated defects in my relatively-narrow genetic background?" That depends on if what's causing the accumulated defects you observe among your relatives are actually due to close relative pairing or something toxic in your environment capable of damaging DNA and if the party you're otherwise presuming to out-breed with isn't inbred themselves.
