All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Fry.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
I, for one, only trust people who are at least 3 meters tall.

So... what they're saying here is you can have a great time with someone, enjoy multiple dates, fall in love, be sexually interested, and even have sex, all while never even being able to tell if they're cis or trans?
Yeah gosh that sounds awful, just imagine if they'd gotten away with it! You could have had a long, loving relationship of mutual interest and shared happiness. drat that trans agenda!

This kind of thing always baffles me.

Why do people care whether a movie makes money or fails? Why do they care whether one movie makes more or less than another film?

Like seriously dude, you don't want to watch Birds of Prey. For whatever reasons, (women with agency? in MY movies???), it doesn't matter. If you don't like it don't watch it. On the same issue, you want to see the Sonic movie. Again for whatever reasons, (I have never matured past wanting to relive memories of media I consumed as a child), it doesn't matter. Go and see the film and enjoy it.

What does it matter if the film you like does better or worse than the film you don't like?

Unless of course, you do the completely normal thing of making a large part of your self worth be invested in media you consume, so stuff you like MUST do better than stuff you don't like otherwise you are quantitatively proven to be a bad person,

You know, totally normal.

Or you could watch multiple things and enjoy them for different reasons. Just because people watch Birds of Prey doesn't mean they can't later take their kid to see Sonic, or even just be curious due to the marketing trainwreck that it was.

Yeah I figured he's just being ultra dense and going "technically it is possible to selectively breed people" and just stopping dead there because he's Dick Dorkins.

The reason these dogs have these issues is because we've basically been breeding specifically for them, it seems like it's worked quite well?

I mean, I don't really know what his point is because I don't think most people are arguing against eugenics' practicality so much as it's complete inhumanity and immorality.

I mean, this guy's definitely taking it way too far. But I can understand, from a reason beyond blind 'my team'-isms, a perfectly good reason to actually care if X movie succeeds or fails.

Like, I was really happy to see the latest Star Wars be poorly-received. Not just because I don't like Disney (even though I don't) but because a successful piece of media begets other media continuing down that particular road, and I really hate everything Star Wars is right now; blatant, empty nerd-pandering, a complete refusal to engage with anything resembling deeper meanings of a text, 'sci-fi' where the sci-fi setting is basically just window dressing, general lack of ambition about making something new and interesting. I basically just want Star Wars to stop now, because it's not providing anything new or interesting to me and it continuing is only leading to them making more stuff I don't like in that ilk.

I admit, I'm a little bummed that Birds of Prey is kind of a bomb; I think we could use more of that sort of movie, and it's disappointing that the reasons it actually failed (released at a bad time of year, poor publicity showing, following on from a poorly-received movie in the first place, R rating cutting the audience without any way to make it up) will be ignored in favor of superficial reasons ('it's about women', Sonic somehow stole the audience).

But I'm honestly kinda happy that Sonic's doing well, too, because that's also a movie I want to see more things like. It feels like a children's movie from the nineties released in the modern day, and I'm cool with nineties kids movies having a return.

That even on a practical level. We will gently caress it up. Even when the nazis literally murdered people with specific "deficiencies" those deficiencies did not go down in future generations.


Science without a moral foundation doesn't work. Because it requires precision and honesty. A scientist has to be ready to on principle admit failure when he 99.99% got something right. Or he'll end up cutting corners and claim success and leave society to deal with the consequences down the line.

A good example is Robert Kock and his Tuberculosis "cure" in 1890 which killed several people because credit for finding the cure was more important than the cure itself (which would only come 70 years later)

The issue is we bred dog and other animals to serve our needs rather than be good animals in general. So you need to decide what even is a good person.

It also doesn't account for the fact Nazi Germany kill hundreds of thousands of people with schizophrenia but just over a generation later level were back to their preholocaust levels. So it's questionable that it even works that well on people very well.

Am I 🧑‍🏫 out of touch🤔? No🧐, it's the children👶 who are wrong🤷🏼‍♂️
The fact that very purposely controlled breeding of an animal over millennia can be evidence of how it will work on humans (and at that, when it has been implemented on humans, it was only for a few select years) is just some galaxy levels of hosed up logic.

Selective breeding as a concept would probably work on humans but holy poo poo you would remove all aspects of morality and humanity to implement it that it is astounding at how much of a piece of poo poo you have to be to even consider it.

Right, we could breed humans to be obese and unable to move under their own power (there’s an obvious joke here but I’m not going for it) the same as we do with animals raised for meat, but who would that serve?
