See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

I would favour the transition towards “henchmen” if it weren’t gendered. “Henchpeople” just doesn’t sound right.

Agreed. I think I’m going to go with “henchmen” for the time being, because my interest in language-neutering has frankly been long worn away.

My brief search for a gender-neutral version that was still #the aesthetic returned “cronies” and “toadies”, but I think those would make me sound more liks Richard Nixon than Doctor Doom.

“Underlings” also occured to me, but that puts one in mind of a Dilbert-esque CEO. Hmph.

I reiterate the excellent option of just going with “hench”

Although I am also currently considering henchgirl positions

Henchlings! Because underlings sounds like some kind of exotic lingerie.

In my old organization they were just referred to as “personnel”, because true evil is a faceless and impersonal, like a force of nature.

I’m on my own now, though, and there just isn’t a good word in English for a crew of repurposed salvaged mass-production gynoids held together by duct-tape and deep elastomer patches.  I know a few good words for it in Channish, but it just doesn’t have the same ring when you know the audience doesn’t understand it and never will.

There are only two genders: human and transhuman.

“I will die immortal.”
- Eliezer T. Yudkowsky, possibly, maybe (Rotterdam Timeline)

His middle initial is S

The joke is that he never actually said that, but people would think he did.  (As far as I know, he didn’t say that, anyway.)  Notice the weird hedging (“possibly, maybe”) which makes no sense for a real quote.  (Nor the Rotterdam Timeline.  But Rotterdam is a weird timeline tbh.)

Therefore it’s entirely appropriate that the middle initial is wrong.

This was said by the Eliezer Yudkowsky of the Rotterdam timeline, whose middle initial is T, not the Eliezer Yudkowsky of our timeline.  Rotterdam can be a pretty brutal timeline, but its civilization has not been lost to nuclear war.

When he died, he wasn’t immortal, but he was a hero.

Anonymous asked:

Look. I get that you get off on being "edgy" and "controversial". It's kind of your brand, you're a contrarian, and it excites you to be going against the grain. But the chaos were the best thing about the Sonic Adventure series and I take any attempt to mitigate them as a personal attack, so sleep with one eye open, binch.

Reality check, Anon-san: Sonic doesn’t exist.  There have never been any Sonic the Hedgehog games, there never will be any Sonic the Hedgehog games.  No matter how much fanart and how hard you desperately meme, you blighted furries will never make the Sonic franchise a set of real video games.

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.

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.
