I know they’re wildly impractical, but my goodness, mobile suits would make for an A M A Z I N G deep VR LARP.

Video games are gonna be really intense in about 40 years.

Look, all I’m saying is that while it isn’t a matter of systematic oppression for each man to prefer that his girlfriend get the purring augmentation, if the vast majority of men have a strong preference, this creates a powerful incentive gradient in which any women who don’t will risk a greater chance of loneliness.

Just because popular VR personas use it now does not justify getting an expensive cybernetic implant, especially since it didn’t really hit the big time until about five years ago.

@argumate I thought you weren’t getting enough Discourse, so I got you some from the future

friends, you don’t understand. This ad campaign was goddamn HUGE. They bought out the entirety of multiple train stations in Boston with these. There are so many more, and they’re all this same beautiful combination of questionable/amazing.

[sees a long, long history of prima facie good ideas from the sociopolitical extremes having amazingly brutal consequences and blowback even on the rare occasions when they’re adopted after tons of consideration and study]

“Heh, stupid centrists.”

[taxloopholes]

Centrists: *Sees unnecessary death being normalized in the 21st century despite being easily preventable*

Centrists: Um things could be worse??? Both extremes are equally bad?? I don’t know anything about history except events in a vacuum?????

[mitigatedchaos]

Actually yes, things could be way, way worse. Despite Tumblr complaints, Bland Centrism, like Bland Liberalism, is better than most currently existing political ideologies at the edges, which normalize pointless deaths even more. What surpasses Bland Centrism is likely going to be new, exotic, different, because we tried a lot of the other ones and it sucked. Anyone still talking about workers’ councils isn’t fighting the battles of the 21st century.

Also, there is substantial disagreement on where to depart from Bland Centrism. I don’t think you and I would see eye to eye on how culture-blind immigration policies are normalizing death in Europe right now, for instance.

• [Scene: a nervous-looking older man meets with a millennial in a darkened alley.]
• Millennial: what's the target?
• Man: I don't know if I want to do this.
• Millennial: people don't come to us until they've made up their minds.
• Man: Alright. Styrofoam cups.
• Millennial: Six months and they're gone.
• Man: Can millennials really kill styrofoam cups?
• Millennial: we can kill anything, but not cheaply.
• Man: I can pay. I work for a plasti-
• Millennial: I don't need to know and frankly I don't care. One of us will deliver a routing number to a Zurich account. Two billion euros, then we start.
• Man: Al..alright.
• Millennial: It will be your last chance to reconsider. Once the money is processed you'll have no contact with us again.
• Man: I understand. It has to be done.
• Millennial: then it's sealed. The cups will join chain restaurants and diamonds in the void.
• Man: Thank..thank you.
• Millennial: We don't require thanks. Participation is its own trophy.

COED MMA WHEN?

[mitigatedchaos]

North American Mixed Martial Arts Neo-Georgian Light Cyborg Division Semi-Qualifier here. Mostly no co-ed fights until the availability of enhancement evens out the PWR post-war, but the VR stuff before that is plat. Ofc the physical fights are dominated by combat software, but they look spectacular.

[mitigatedchaos]

Don’t be like that man, you know the hardware is neuromorphic, and even if the kinetic subcomponents are more carefully engineered, the abstract reasoning has to be grown, and the whole thing has to adapt to the user’s body and integrated with the subconscious. A finely-honed Combat Reaction System is a work of art and I will not have you in this blog if you disagree.

I see posts like if you are a WOMAN attracted RUBY ROSE then you are not a LESBIAN because she is GENDERFLUID and I’m like hmm, that creates a weird quantum dependency between attraction and gender identity.

See you in the club and think damn, that person is hot. But wait, I don’t know their gender identity, which means my own sexuality is now a mystery to me!

Awkwardly, you are also attracted to me, and feel your gender identity shifting to take into account this new and unforeseen attraction! Except you don’t know my gender identity, leaving you stranded in ambiguity.

Tragically we lose sight of each other in the crowd, and never see each other again, leaving our sexualities indeterminate for all time.

[wearejustdoingthisfortheticket]

legitimately could not tell if “ruby rose” was referring to a real person or a gem fusion

[argumate]

this is Tumblr, it could go either way.
