Why are there so many well-established rules for these elaborate thought experiments? what-the-hell

Social murder is a subset of necropolitics, since the latter encompasses not only the state of living death induced by policies of social murder, but also the political, social, and even physical management of the dead and the process and aftermath of dying. When the IOF fills the nth mass grave with a bulldozer, that is an exercise in necropower as surely as is the state of exception in which they imprison the living.

Palestine the most important issue for 2% of voters, but isn't this the most important election of our lives? Shouldn't you be fighting for every god damn point you can find so it's not so embarrassingly close as last time? 11% for abortion who are just having to eat "I'm sure we'll do something about it if I win again, Jack" with a grin? Unserious people.

Keep applying that Marxist brain and one also eventually comes to understand that the existence of domesticated beings as we know them today (mutants bred for the explicit purpose of labor, companionship, etc., exclusively for human exploitation) is at odds with veganism.

While it would be bad if they were doing the cartoonishly evil thing implied by such complaints (ooh, they're kidnapping and killing ol' Scraps!), it is perfectly ideologically consistent to avoid reproducing the exploitation of these beings, shorten their suffering when no other option is available, and otherwise work toward the abolition of domestication as currently practiced.

I live with two dogs, both aging and with rapidly diminishing quality of life. Soon, I will have to decide how dignified their deaths will be, because humans have colonized even death. If you (not you, specifically, but generic readers) believe that PETA relishes the reality forced on them by puppy mills, irresponsible reproduction practices, and the normalization of exploitation, I don't think you've thought about this enough.

I really like the new Doctor, but I'm struggling with the Marvel-ass writing and what feels like an extreme uptick in expensive "whimsical" VFX. Haven't watched the latest one, so I have a little hope they can turn it around.

Being photographed leads almost inexorably to your image being fed into the big tech blob and therefore into the surveillance apparatus. This may be a good natural defense mechanism.

So this means Trump wins the election because the US can't help but do regime change whenever lithium is found.

Transmutation
Level: Trapsmith 1, Telflammar Shadowlord 2, Bard 3, Wizard 3, Vigilante 3, Sorcerer 3, Sha'ir 3, Runescarred Berserker 3, Jester 3, Fatemaker 3, Beguiler 3, Wu Jen 3, Time 3, Celerity 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration: 1 round/level

The transmuted creatures move and act more quickly than normal. This extra speed has several effects.

When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding. The attack is made using the creature's full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a weapon of speed, nor does it actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round).

A hasted creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.

All of the hasted creature's modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed. Multiple haste effects don't stack. Haste dispels and counters slow.

Material Component: A shaving of licorice root.
