I bet I could convince you that there are no winners in global thermonuclear war with just 1000 games of tic tac toe.

The idea of biological immortality terrifies me. Like other commenters have said, the risk of power being further entrenched in the rich is basically an inevitability. Biological immortality under capitalism is pretty much a guarantee of immortal god-oligarchs that will control a bigger portion of resources and power than they do now.

Also it removes death as an unbeatable end. What if there were still robber barons from the early 1900s alive today? We’d be worse off politically than we already are. Death is an integral part in the march of progress.

From a personal standpoint, I’m not super jazzed about living past my 80s even if I didn’t age and was in perfect health. If biological immortality comes to be I’ll still punch out around 90 at the latest and update my will to prevent my consciousness from being uploaded to San Junipero.

The sweet abyss of oblivion worked for me from the beginning of the universe until my birthday, it’ll work fine again when I get back to it.

Sorry, I was making a joke. I replied above about leftists being like vegans. Joke missed, my bad.

I’m not a democrat, I’m a leftist.

No, leftists are like vegans. Call a vegan a vegetarian, “I’m not a vegetarian, I’m a vegan!”

Call a leftist a democrat, “I’m not a democrat, I’m a leftist!”

(btw, I’m a leftist. Not a vegan though)

If someone refuses to admit their political affiliation in the US you can basically guarantee they’re right wing.

True, the Aussies have been making a good show of it.

Stockton Rush is a killer and should be charged posthumously with four counts of negligent homicide. He’s just as culpable, if not more, that someone who gets behind the wheel drink and kills their passengers.

We’re not talking about punishing anyone, we just don’t want to hear or see their bigotry. They can have their space and we can choose not to interact with them.

I played Smushi Come Home. It’s about a little mushroom making their way home. It’s a platformer with some light puzzle elements. Really reminded me of A Short Hike, both in vibes and length. It clocked in at about 3 hrs but was mad cozy.

Hey, let me know what instance you settle on so I can block it. Not trying to start a fight or anything, I believe you should have a voice. I just don’t want to hear it.

True, but in Unidan’s defense, it was a jackdaw, not a crow.

Doesn’t look like undetermined is an option on kbin. We must remain in the the ruins of the towel of babel. Womp womp.

It was set to English but I just set it to Spanish then back to English to make sure it wasn’t “set to English”.

edit: ok, I read your comment this time. There’s no undetermined language available on kbin. Either I set it to English when I made my account or it’s a default but a language selection is required.

Well damn, now I need to go down a gunpla building rabbit hole on YouTube.

Ok, I responded to your comment before but it was from my user page. Now I’m responding from your user page. I can’t see your test comment on the kbin instance I’m on (readitt.buzz). So we’ve got a Scooby Doo mystery on our hands. Or the federation takes some time to catch up and I’ve been drinking. I’m only sure about half of the previous sentence.

Holy shit, guys this is important now! Not just because it’s me but because of… the fucking community. Think of the community!

I can see your test.
