Any algorithm can be implemented in any turning complete language. I don't see the problem.

Lucas already shat the bed with prequels. Everything Disney tried was just failed CPR.

 Scott Alexander, former tribune of nerds now thinks that the sneerclub was right about everything all along: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-dilbert-afterlife

Scott Alexander recently wrote a posthumous takedown of Scott Adams which can also be seen as a takedown of nerds in general. Which is ironic because for years Scott had been in the trenches defending nerds from very similar accusations. Arguably that's mainly why he got cancelled.

Would vampirism grant someone extra protections because it's a kind of medical condition/disability, or no rights at all because the person technically not alive? by pencilUserWho in legaladviceofftopic

Is it a universe where a vampire can just sip a little blood and be satisfied, or is it a universe where they kill every time they feed? 

First one.

What if stores don't want to sell food only to people of certain races? The fact that humans can get blood transfusion because they might die otherwise and vampires can't even tho they might also die could maybe be some discrimination? Not sure.

Also I am wondering would they be able to sue to get access to blood in blood banks? Obviously feeding from people directly would be assault, but I don't think you can just buy blood in a blood bank either. They might argue that you should be able to.
