Sure but the specific subject I was referring to was the sadistic abuse of human-like dolls made to emulate pain response or even be indistinguishable from actual people.

While you can argue that capitalism inherently seeks to reduce the lower classes into automatons the specific emerging issue here is the development of replicant technology, which is only now getting close to fruition. And of particular importance here is the many ethical considerations which our beloved technology leaders are sure to not consider in the slightest.

In short, I fully expect to see the rise of terrible snuff porn come into the mainstream within my lifetime and I am disgusted.

Well yes, the word 'robot' finds its origin in R.U.R., which is all about the uprising of robot slaves against their capitalist exploiters, and 'robot' itself stems from a Slavic word for 'labour'. So the topic is inherently socio-political and always has been ever since the advent of the 2nd Industrial Revolution. Before that, the creation of artificial life was usually about hybris or man's relation to God (e.g. Frankenstein, stories about the golem - and to be sure this theme still echoes in 'cautionary tales' like Terminator). But, most robot stories are either explicitly anti-capitalist (e.g. Robocop) or implicitly so (e.g. Blade Runner).

Frankenstein is not about "man relation to god"- Frankestein is about neglecting parenting- how lack of love in education can create monsters - the responsability of parents with their chidrens- The monster in Frankestein is the doctor - not the creature - the creature become evil and vicious but only because is treaten like trash

Not really related but the origina Dracula is not about Drakula- Is about a group of people doing a "bug hunt" - kind of like the movie "Aliens"

Now, if I had a theory for why Bernie Sanders lost, it's that he was polling poorly in a bunch of states on Super Tuesday, and those polls turned out to be accurate, and Biden got a bunch more delegates.

That's my idiotic normie guess, of course.

The term rumpology is a neologism. The late American astrologer Jackie Stallone claimed that rumpology is known to have been practiced in ancient times by the Babylonians, the Indians, and the Ancient Greeks and Romans, although she provides no evidence for this claim. Stallone has been largely responsible for the supposed "revival" of rumpology in modern times.

quote:

Jacqueline Stallone, the foremost American rumpologist, has revealed and revived the ancient art of Rumpology. Rump reading is an art that was practiced in ancient Babylon, India, Greece, and Rome. The ancient Greeks thought the derriere was the key to health and fidelity and the Romans used prints of the gluteus maximus the way some people use palmistry today, to determine potential talents and future success.

Rumpology is sometimes called butt reading in modern parlance. It is the art of reading the lines, crevices, dimples, and folds of the buttocks to divine the individual's character and gain an understanding of what has occurred in the past and get a prediction of the future.

Ancient rump reading was done when the seeker covered his or her derriere (rump, butt) with HENNA dye (a brown- orange dye made from plant fibers) and sat on a medium (such as papyrus) to leave a impression, much like a fingerprint, palm, or foot print. Such prints are highly individualistic, as no two people share the same markings.

Jacqueline has discovered that the left and right cheeks reveal a person's past and future, respectively. The right buttocks represents the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain, while the left buttocks represents the right hemisphere. It is similar to palmistry -- where the left palm represents the past and the right palm represents the future. A rump report from Jacqueline Stallone can tell you whether you are going "rear end-backwards" or eyes open into the future.

And there's even more, "the crack"- the gluteal cleft.

"I have been asked many times about the gluteal cleft. It is more than an advertising sign for plumbers, teens, and non-conformists. IT HAS REAL SIGNIFICANCE.

It is a natural part of the human body and of vital importance. It represents the division between the ying/yang, good/bad, light/darkness, between your past-- the left cheek and your future -- the right cheek.

I have noticed in my years of rumpology reading that it often has characteristics of personality. Many bankers cleft's are very short; while lawyers are very long. It can also vary in width -- with politician's seemingly extra wide and cop's notoriously narrow. Have you had a look in the mirror recently at yours?

Modern technology has helped bring the ancient art of Rumpology into the 21st century. Thanks to digital photography, you can take a very accurate picture of your rump, a POSITIVE image, print it and and send it to Jacqueline and have her do a reading! She will analyze the details of your rump, both left and right hemispheres as well as the gluteal cleft and send you a multi-page report.

Look at the EXAMPLES section of this Web site and see for yourself how unique individual rumps can be.
