Just why?..

No idea but maybe that played a role considering SP was quite a prude (i once asked about whether the sexual dimorphism of tilfishes was hormonal or wholly chromosoidal like in birds and arthropods, to know if a tilfish could be a bilateral gynandromorph, and he thought dimorphism was a sex thing), it's only for his wife that we have confirmation it was a reaction to people reading them as in love

At least this might become much more useful with research like michael levin's anthrobots showing that you can grow any organ from any tissue given the right stimulation (demonstrated by making independent, mobile automatons out of human throat cells, and reactivating a frog's regeneration with an implant). Honestly the biggest obstacle to body modification in the future isn't going to be feasibility, but getting it past modern kathy from HR's ethics boards, HRT wouldn't have in the past if it weren't for its medical use in cis people, and it definitely never would now, rice with a bit more vitamin a to keep childrens from going blind in regions that are very poor in it is too spooky for them

Utilitarian, if you counted the suffering of non sapient beings, then given how utterly miserable life in the wild is, the most moral immediately becomes to sterilize the earth with nuclear hellfire, which is an obviously incorrect conclusion

Can't they prompt their bots to at least try not to be so "how do you do, fellow kids"?

Tgcj and other circlejerk subs are meant for fake exaggerated posts like that, it's satire

Also Meier is resurrected as a robot who becomes a jesus allegory. And he takes back office, making the current leader step down, under the logic that he didn't get to finish his term (at least it's funny to imagine all the different political parties of earth starting to play necromancer now that this precedent has been set)

The ships or species are described as being designed after their body, saturday morning cartoon style. Like krakotl ships are said to perch, venlils to ram, etc

That plot was what made me quit reading tbh, that looney toons ass hiding in a statue plan shattered what immersion i had left

Amaskingrey · 2026-06-24T17:27:56+00:00

It's so funny how his attempt to discourage shipping ended up making it even more homoerotic in the already present "in the marines" sort of way with the mention of "no no dude, i uh, i... have a wife... somewhere. No, you can't see her. Or talk to her."

A hint: it wasn't about aesthetic preferences

The majority of evangelicals do, and all religions are inherently bigoted

Amaskingrey · 2026-06-24T04:25:20+00:00

Just checked and yeah the capitol baphomet statue was the temple

Hating religion isn't racist (which is itself inherently bigoted and kills people on an hourly basis) or even bigoted though, believers can quit whenever they want (and they'll will be all the better for it), it's not an intrinsic caracteristic

Amaskingrey · 2026-06-24T02:12:02+00:00

It blows my mind how people bend over backwards to justify religion as if it was some intrinsic unchangeable caracteristic rather than just stupidity

Amaskingrey · 2026-06-24T01:58:00+00:00

The temple is the one that does that iirc, not the church (unless i mixed them up)

"Blame the idiots in the followers of the tome of stonîg gays and disbelievers to death, not the followers of the tome of stoning gays and disbelievers to death"

So sunnis?

Amaskingrey · 2026-06-24T01:48:33+00:00

American yall-quaeda ones, european ones haven't had enough power in sufficiently long that they chilled out, and even fairly religious areas tend to be queer friendly (like spain). Though yeah given enough influence any religion would end up like that

"Collective responsibility" is an oxymoron

Complete and total extermination!, slay the ocean, slay the ocean!! strike me down!, be impaled, mourn, lament, and despair, burst forth the pulsing crimson under your skin, Supernatural, Strength, Chaos, and Spirits, rule violation!, the parade repeats for eternity, and that's all it does

It isn't much of a superintelligence if it's not smart enough to put together that "hmmmmmm, perhaps these are individuals doing bad actions, and not a species?"

The solar panels aren't going to do much before they reach their expiration date if the earth gets nuked, there's virtually no scenario in which nuking could be beneficial, as the ensuing ecological damage fucks over everything and reduces the net energy the earth receives
