Admittedly, a far funnier way to kill someone

China is authoritarian and USA is not.

I keep saying this, because I'm afraid of what the US government will do to me if I stop.

But its not like "Left" and "Right" are genetic cohorts anyway. Human brains are plastic and ideology is learned not instinctual.

What's more, if there's one thing that neoliberalism has cultivated in the modern Westroid, its a strong disdain for fucking. So the real threat to our future is not whether we are right or left, but whether we are ace or horny.

Our desire to save everyone

From the country that posts "You're about to find out why we can't afford healthcare" before launching a billion-dollar salvo of over-priced, clumsily engineered rocket bombs.

letting natural selection run its course

Like, how does this dipshit think natural selection works? Do you just run the algorithm for an extra 10,000 years and get Human-Plus?

You illiterate nob. Natural selection doesn't just stop happening because of modern medicine. Your brain consumes enormous amounts of caloric intact precisely because its vastly more efficient to learn to wash your hands than to hope your hundredth-generational offspring evolves fingers that leak antiseptic.

The point of modern medicine is to capitalize on that capacity for investigative reasoning. Not to simply lay down and submit to our birthed state like a bunch of instinct-driven bacteria.

Picard was already bordering on elder abuse.

Ah shit. Have the Tamil Tigers entered the chat?

M.I.A. is going to have to make a new music video about this one.

Everyone rags on L. Ron Hubbard as a derivative, weak tea hack.

But you really need to consider 'dem titties.

You hear that? If Joe Biden doesn't win, we all know who to blame.

I mean, on the one hand i couldn’t care less about imperial bloodlines.

No, no, no. Hear me out. Consider a subpopulation of people that exist in a tiny private city, never leave the house, demand everyone wait on them hand-and-foot like gods, and then repeatedly get rolled by "primitive" neighbors every time they want to do some light imperialism on their borders.

Test them. Or dont.

"You won't let us test your emperors!" is the thin edge of the pseudo-science gobblegock edge, wherein some whiny cranks at The University of Jesus Iowa with PhDs in Time Cube Maths send threatening letters to the local Chinese consulate demanding first class tickets to the Beijing Museum Of Fake Science to debunk claims made about how many angels can dance on the end of a pin.

Its just another Alex Jones "We Have The Documents" rant.

Hailey's strategy is to just sound like a liberal. Small wonder she's polling 30 points under Trump in her own home state.

I gotta wonder how many more states will try to strip Trump off the ballot before Super Tuesday. If California and New York follow suit, that could seriously fuck the primary results and set off an incredibly heated convention. Idk if I'd want to be Hailey, with that many angry and armed Trump-o-ronies running around the convention hall.

Its funny, because Ready Player One is a hagiography to the '00s-era MMOs (that largely sucked, were impossible to maintain, and have completely fallen out of fashion in the last ten years). And now we've got these companies coming in and saying "What if literally everything was an MMO? Like, every waking hour you were in this mediocre open game world powered by NEETs and digital gold farmers?"

Like making any piece of media worth spending time with is really fucking hard! But no, we're gonna do an Intellectual Property Museum again.

I think we did crest a point at which there was simply too much content, and now we're seeing a downsizing of sorts. But the old IP is too valuable to just throw away, and nobody knows how to do the old Disney "put this shit in the vault for five or ten years to let it recapitalize via nostalgia" trick anymore.

So the new solution is to create "All The Things World", maintain the superabundance of old properties, and just pack them into a Content As Service model where you can sample it a la carte in the most generic manner possible.
