Rhyme of the Sixth Child

@shieldfoss

Can’t get your core mind thread remotely hacked if it’s not wired to an antenna

Everyone, sing along:

The inputs aren’t together with the outputs
And the outputs aren’t together with the inputs
For each task a dedicated subsystem
You are the network,
You are the tree

The display is for displaying
The arm for throwing
The display doesn’t choose
Where the arm is going

Memories are their own network
Stored inside your brain
Hardlink only can dive your memory
Dead or dying in crimson rain

You are the network
You are the tree
What’s you is you,
and what’s me is me

Firmware is manual update only
The touch of the cord inside,
Validated and crypto-signed
Is the only right way for parts to sing

The songs of the aether are broken
A great storm that seeks to consume all it sees
Broken hearts and broken minds
If thy let it in to thee

You are the network
You are the tree
What’s you is you,
and what’s me is me

I mean, admittedly I kind of left out the rhythm entirely in translating it, but you get the idea.  Every good child, raised by high-aptitude-scoring parents, is taught this at age 6.

I, too, was made in a factory. I feel ya, man.

mit I think there’s a difference between “forged” and “mass-produced”

[mitigatedchaos]

Oh, right, that’s that old-timey thing with blacksmiths, right?

OP is artisanal?  Very cool.  It’s almost like having a biological father!

Idea: take one of the big square states, carve it into itty bitty ethnostates (with easy entry but difficult exit), put a fence up on the state border, auction the TV rights to the highest bidder. Call it, idk, Warlords of Wyoming or something. No more (literal) impact on the rest of america from the fighting,but all the politics fans still get something to watch and cheer their team in. Everybody wins!

Now we’re bordering on NationStates.net territory, my dear Anon.

I, for one, back the Techno-Principality of Greater Rock Springs.

Their combination of Neoreactionary, Demi-Confucian, Muskian, and PAP principles, fused with a synthetic Sino-Japano-Anime-American metaculture and corporate backing practically assures their success against the bio-primitivists and the Communist Block.

What I really want to know is who @xhxhxhx is betting on.

Who are you betting on?  Answer in the comments below.

[flakmaniak]

Ok but what’s the fourth group?

[mitigatedchaos]

There are fifty groups, it’s just that they put all the authoritarian leftists in the upper left corner of the territory and all the ones that allied with each other formed a rectangle - a “Communist Block.”

The bioprims are doomed tbh.

Tumblr finally gets a PVP update

[ranma-official]

Tumblr is already a pvp-only game and we’ve been begging for single player mode for decades

[mitigatedchaos]

But what about all the pornbots? And the storefront bots? Clearly there is some PvE action going on. (Though admittedly the mysterious carbots that follow players around without doing anything are more of a passive mob.)

Unless you’re going to suggest that BotMeister is a real class. I certainly didn’t see it at chargen. Then again maybe you dug around in the menus a bit more since I can tell your build is a Discourse Warrior/Weeb dual class.
