If it were that easy we wouldn’t have a history full of conflict.

Don’t talk about it! That’s how you summon them!

Can’t speak for them, but for myself the prospect of having both parents out of the house working while some sort of state sponsored childcare raises our children is an incredibly shitty way to have a “family.”

The problem is that the sexually charged furries have trouble understanding and respecting other’s boundaries. This is an even larger problem when you’re dealing with a community that tends to appeal to younger people. It doesn’t help that there have been several very public cases of well known furries being engaged in things so horrible I’m not even comfortable mentioning it here.

Aight. We burn.

It may not line up with the theory of feminism, but it is how things have been working out in practice.

Blocking doesn’t work when it just keeps sprouting new heads like a hydra. The whole damn problem that people have with the modern version of feminism is that it essentially demands that their personal problems have to be everyone’s problems everywhere, and the very existence of media which doesn’t cater to feminist ideals is a problem which must be solved. The primary argument for patriarchy, ever since the days of Babylon when Marduk subjugated Tiamat, was that women left to their own devices cause nothing buy chaos and conflict. If feminists actually want to achieve equality then they will somehow have to learn to coexist with things they don’t personally appreciate.

It’s just exhausting that people feel the need to turn every form of media into a fight over cultural values instead of just letting people enjoy things. It’s like they can’t enjoy anything themselves unless they know that, somewhere out there, someone they don’t like is upset about it.

The biggest hurdle is that we don’t actually know what intelligence really is at all yet, computationally. Most of the history of science has been repeatedly learning “but things were actually more complicated than originally expected,” so making claims that we’re soon to be able to replicate something that we don’t actually properly understand yet may be a bit premature. The desire to replicate human intelligence by a machine has been around since at least the 1200’s brazen heads, and yet for everything we’ve discovered since we’re still just beating our heads against a wall trying to sleuth out what it really is that makes us ‘think.’

And we’re still waiting for a definite announcement that yes, humanity has finally produced room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductors.

Exciting news for sure, but as usual it’s not quite there yet.
