If the observers wanted to save processing power, wouldn't they delete the people leeching of the influencers and great men first?

I assume that's a misspelling of "tazer" but I love thinking about what the hell a "torch teaser" would be or why the cops would want to confiscate it :allears:

Taser. It is an acronym for the Tom A Swift Electric Rifle, named for a Buck Rogers-esque fictional super-tech hero that the inventor was a big fan of.

I know how irony-deaf Autistic people can be so try not to use it pejoratively, as my younger brother is autistic and has some trouble with metaphor/allegory. I know this because I tried to discuss the allegorical side of a thing we'd both seen (can't remember what) and he flat out refused to accept that there was any hidden meaning in it at all. (It wasn't just me being me, the allegory had been pointed out to me first)

What exactly does being trans have to do with Anarcho-Capitalism anyway? Where the hell is the link there, are they a sect of christians fundametalists I don't know about?

On the "substituting belief with other things" subject, I'm of the mindset that I don't think there is anything, I'm perfectly fine with a random and meaningless existence because the universe is interesting enough as it is - but if I'm wrong I really don't care. If there isn't an afterlife I'll be too dead to care, if there is well things will get very interesting. And if any higher power has a problem with me having better things to do than spend energy on them, that's their problem, and it seems fairly petty too.

Retsupurae made fun of some of those kinds of videos. They were weird as hell. Like, Mickey Mouse getting stung by a bee, then poorly-rendered dracula trying to feed off him and getting a face full of venom, that kind of poo poo.

We figured it out multiple times over history and then forgot it again and had to relearn it all over again. Mostly because we couldn't really nail down why it was so bad until germ theory and all that.

Although it is kind of amazing that we kept having to relearn that, as opposed to keeping it going because "Maybe I don't want to eat a whole meal in a room that smells like my own rear end? Does that make me weird? Am I just being fussy?"

Mind you being able to get anything out of a cyronic brain implies that they should be able to get mummies full on talking. Given that freezing your body more thoroughly destroys the cells than normal rot will on a well made mummy. It's dumb on every level.

Finally we can get the gossip of just what Anuk Su-Namun saw in Imhotep. The sexy desert warrior was right there, but she chose to settle with old familiar.

The problem is Tyson is an rear end in a top hat within his field as well, seeming to have a very "How dare people dumb-down science by making it fun!" elitist attitude.

If the book is written by the bookshop owner and then is rethought posthumously, is that Death of the Author or Death of a Salesman?
