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.

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.

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.

I definitely agree. Back in school I learned that a Newbury medal in a book meant that a dog and/or parental figure will die. I feel like it’s easier to make people feel something when the feeling is bad. Also joyful things are sometimes thought to be lesser or simple.

If anyone is a fan of scifi I recommend checking out Becky Chambers. A Psalm for the Wild Built is an optimistic solar punk book that will warm your heart.

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.

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.

The web UI is for sure working. Not sure about Jerboa though.

It’s well known but usually taught in the later years of high school (15-17 year olds). I don’t think they’re teaching things like the Tulsa massacre, the Wilmington massacre, Rosewood or the MOVE bombing in schools. Maybe in AP classes which are advanced placement for college credit.

Everything we learn about the Civil Rights movement is shown in black and white and taught as if it solved the problem. We definitely aren’t taught that some of the legal reforms forth in response the the nationwide riots after MLK’s assassination.

IRC is so rad. I learned to touch type by hanging out in IRC channels in the dark on a stolen shell account in 93. I felt like a hacker, really I was a goofball talking about rollerblading on a shell account that no one cared about because they got it for free with their SLIP account.

Hell yeah, cyber archeology. Coming into old comments threads like Lawrence Fishburne, “this place is a tomb.”

Even that Atlantic ocean couldn’t stop Jim Crow. Fascinating story, hope it can still be taught in history classes in the coming years.

Lentils and rice. Saute 2 tablespoons of cumin seeds and 2 tablespoons of coriander powder in some neutral oil. Add 5 cups water, salt and pepper, bring to a boil. Put in a cup of brown lentils and reduce to simmer. Simmer for 10 min. Add a cup of rice, cover and cook on low for 20 min.

Serve with caramelized onions and yogurt if you’re fancy. Skip that and serve with cheese if you’re me. I shamelessly stole this and bastardized it from Christopher Kimball’s mujaddara recipe.

It sounds like more work than it is. Toast spices, 5c water, 1c lentils for 10 min, 1c rice for 20 min, bob’s your uncle.

This looks awesome. I feel like it would be worth $40usd but I’m betting Nintendo will be asking $70usd. For 70, I’ll stick to the SNES.

edit: it’s $60usd

Bro, Viscera Cleanup. It’s like space janitors talking while cleaning up the remnants of an alien infestation.
