Which faction has the most females with the biggest cans.

Unironically this. Which is not to say that PO is necessarily being sarcastic.

The fact that they managed to produce 28mm figures while preserving a degree of (usually lacking) sex appeal on the female models is what drew my attention to InfiNity.

It's not really a question of whether or not consciousness is quantifiable.

Actually that is the first question, because any digital solution requires us to understand consciousness on a level expressible within our mathematical systems. That might never happen due to flaws in those systems. Similar problems are holding back AI research, but AI at least has the advantage of not having to be compatible with a biological process.

Mead posted...

Just to wildly theorize the brain could be very slowly replaced by artificial cells which could possibly allow a consciousness to remain intact although it would be hard to ever know if that was the original person or again just a copy

Another possibility would be to connect someones mind to so many artificial sources capable of storing memories and processing thought that the consciousness itself might expand to exist in more than just the original brain and persist after the persons body expires

(note: @Mead I wrote this an hour ago but had to run an errand before I could hit Send )

I don't know what form -if any- it will take, but I can think of some that it won't. For one thing, you can forget the idea that we're just outsourcing "brain activity" to a computer in the hopes that our consciousness goes with it. Our sense of consciousness is full body thing, and even beyond that when you consider microbiomes that influence what and how we think without even being part of our body in the strictest sense.

I was going to bring up "they pees" when I remembered that the pronoun was still in question.

I taught my son to only pee sitting down as to not give further power to the patriarchy

I hear he got beaten up every day in school because he peed like a girl

I prefer to say that he pees like a feminoid individual to not strengthen binary gender misconceptions

Are you certain "he" is the preferred pronoun? Have you asked them?

I believe in legal paternal surrender (and even that I'm iffy on), but to force a woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term is all kinds of nope. Male and female reproductive commitments are not equal, therefore they do not have equal say in the matter.

Sandbox games?

Sure, plenty of sandbox games have no win conditions at all, and tons of ways to reach lose conditions. Dwarf Fortress calls this "Fun". But not just sandbox games. Early arcade games like Centipede have no win condition, just a lose condition and a high score table.

part of the fun of playing a game is knowing what to play it for, which is why I never understood the Sims

Funny you should mention The Sims. The Sims developed more and more goal oriented mechanics as the series went on. 3 and 4 play out as a bucket list simulation with clear objectives that score points like 'get a job in X career path' or 'flirt with a werewolf'.

Confirmation bias.

People that dont have health issues obviously arent gonna talk about that with any regularity. People with life affecting health problems though are obviously gonna talk about them and its more noticeable.

Same reason you can get the impression a game is full of bugs when it's really working mostly fine because while there might be thousands of posts about technical issues, there aren't going to be thousands of people posting (apropos of nothing) that everything works on their machine.

Do you believe that the straight pride movement doesn't exist purely to diminish the significance of gay pride by distilling it down to "look we're having a party too!"? This is not merely my perception of events. The only people who think "straight pride" is reasonable either don't understand what gay pride actually means, or they understand perfectly and see feigning ignorance as a good way to be dismissive of the matter.

Gay pride events still provide visibility to LGBT people, celebrate the marginalization they've overcome, and shine light on the marginalization that remains. A straight pride parade does not and can not change that. The straight pride event has done little more than draw attention to the fact that a straight pride parade can't possibly have the same significance. Straight people making fools of themselves by acting like (literally) pretentious twits is a net win for LGBT people.

You think that a glitter bomb constitutes a greater display of intolerance than systematic erosion of rights, violence (real violence, not the "that's technically assault" kind), and open hatred?

It's not a fucking contest. Here's a thought, let's not legitimize or trivialize violence and harassment. If it's not ok to glitter-bomb gay pride event organizers, it's not ok to glitter bomb the SHFA.

I want to know if these straight pride parade people are "family values" people, or just straight people having a pride parade because they like the idea of celebrating their sexuality.

If the latter, it's gone horribly wrong.

Plenty of the former have latched on to it. Which is sad.

But officially it seems to be a huge piss take.

I don't think US reparations for slavery makes much sense at all. Slavery was by no means confined to the US, and they were not the only ones to benefit. Do we also track down the descendants of African tribes that conquered and sold off other tribes and get them to chip in too?

I do feel reparations for Jim Crow laws, red lining, and basically everything that happened after the Reconstruction does make sense. It was a uniquely American problem that the "land of the free" still had second class citizens. Yet still the question lingers of who pays. The 20th century brought with it unprecedented immigration to the US from people in places that had nothing to do with the Atlantic Slave Trade. While it could be argued they benefited from a strong American economy bolstered by slavery, it's inescapable that they weren't involved.

Despite that I do still think the matter of reparations has some merit. I don't think straight cash reparations are a good idea for the simple fact that giving people money is often not an effective way of changing their circumstances in the long term: lottery winners are well known for going broke. A better solution in my opinion would be options for reparative subsidies for home ownership and small businesses, as well as expanding existing affirmative action programs in colleges and larger businesses. Though in the latter case we have data suggesting those programs have not necessarily worked as intended, so they may need to be overhauled anyway.

It's been awful. There are tons of people who just can't get it into their heads that anything not linking to a first hand source is worthless at best, and actively harmful at worst. Then there's Deepfakes. What happens when we have undeniable video "evidence" of something like Pizzagate?

The mormons definitely had a line of PSAs running through the 80s. They were (in hindsight rather shockingly) secular messages about staying in school, avoiding drugs and alcohol, not stealing, and not being a shit head.

I agree with everyone who's said it's fitting for it to be released in 2020 considering it was based on the original CyberPunk 2020 tabletop RPG in the first place.

But can you imagine if brainscan tech comes along so far that if a baby is born with a weenie that the doctor can accurately put female on the cert?

That's probably where we need to get to, all things considered. I agree with not calling transgender a mental disorder, because frankly we don't know WHAT it is. It could be endocrinological, it could have some intersex component that we haven't found the dimorphic bio-markers for.
