everyone like woah can you imagine if Yahoo had bought Google back in ‘98
yeah, they would have run it into the fucking ground
literally the only thing that would happen is Yahoo using Google’s search algorithm, Yahoo’s main page is still a chore to browse
I was going to say the formation of Google Defense Network is avoided, but they already sold Boston Dynamics, so that’s redundant.
so when are they going to throw the asexuals out of the military
“Never distracted by the baser instincts of lust or love, asexual aromantics are the perfect potential soldiers,” the man said to the gathered audience, activating his next presentation slide. “My company has developed a new generation three training program based on the analysis of double-A characteristics, and so far our test subjects have had great success.”
“But where will we get these asexual aromantics?” Asked a suited man in the audience.
“My company has arranged to purchase an old web 2.0 company, called Tumblr…”
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.

Abortion actually *could be* pretty fatal. Nobody actually knows what happens to the unbaptized infants, though few people believe that they go to the Bad Place.
I’ve always wondered about much more complicated questions of soul mechanics which, as far as I’m aware, are both unanswered and unintuitive:
It’s gonna suck when all the dudes start gene modding themselves to be taller, setting off the Basketball Arms Race.
corollary to “japanese people draw other japanese people with big eyes because they envy the white race”
I have it on good authority that the Japanese are, in fact, the only white people on Earth.
The year is 2068. The forces of global Neoreaction have been defeated by the armies of the Islamo-Progressive Earth Congress. The final survivors retreat to Japan, the last bastion of the white ethnic identity on Earth…
No one foresaw the emergence of the new genre of electronic music, which came to be known as cybercuck.
please. please i am fucking begging you. just leave the house. go outside. see the world. look at nature. eat some grass. i dont care just. please. for gods sake. get off of tumblr.
Okay, but fandom historians are so fucking cyberpunk.
I can imagine it now,
Juniper Twelve,
A mixed race woman living in the Bronx,
Patreon-supported fandom historian and blogger-journalist,
her side-shaved aqua-streaked hair coming down to the back of her shoulders
against her black jacket.
She witnesses the murder of a Chinese man who was stealing data from a prestigious lawfirm,
and is pulled into a web of intrigue, deceit, and violence…
Still, this implies the first LARP Hotel is arriving sooner than I anticipated.
Singularity’s back on, lads!
