i didn't like 2 or 3 nearly as much as 1. they were made much later and they lost a lot of the style and pacing that made the first work so well. connections 3 was basically a kids science show, it was a good kids science show, but not really the same as connections 1 or the day the universe changed.

days of future past was the name of the big cross-time alternate-universe x-men comics storyline that turned the series into the continuity snarl that it is today, they didn't just make it up for the movie

trap sprung, etc

that's only an 8 ounce can once an hour

i'm guessing the kid had some sort of undiagnosed ckd or hypertension or something because a healthy teenager ought to be able to drink a couple of cans of garbage with nothing worse than getting up to pee every 30 minutes and maybe a headache and an upset stomach

either that or the kid had been drinking redbulls instead of water for a long time and it caught up with him

thats a crazy amount of caffeine and whatever else they cram into energy drinks

assuming it was red bull then that's about 1.2g of caffeine over 16 hours. an adult would be jittery as hell but fine, but i dunno about a 14-year-old

RealityApologist posted:

I was making an argument about the importance of advocacy and political activism in the face of overwhelming political odds. The comparison was completely appropriate.

I also think it's demeaning to dismiss basic transhumanist principles as merely a "fetish". Its interesting that you would use the term in defense of gay rights, a group which historically was dismissed on exactly the same grounds-- that homosexuality was merely a fetish to be scorned instead of a legitimate aspect of one's identity. As I'm sure you know, transhumanism has deep intellectual ties to gender studies and queer theory (see Donna Haraway, Judith Butler, et al). I have no doubt that all the talk in this thread of "Glassholes" are just the early stirrings of a coming culture war over the rights of cyborgs as a protected class, and that the broad outlines of this culture war will bear a strong resemblance to the political struggles of the LGBT community over the last 30 years.

So it's really disappointing to see you defend gay rights by attacking cyborgs and hurling the same kind of ignorant, dehumanizing rhetoric that the gay community has fought so hard against. It shows just how much of a struggle we have before us.

The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death � however mutable man may be able to make them � our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
