What if I replace most of my organs with younger ones? If a billionaire gets a whole body transplant, does that also de-age his brain?

I don’t know. I can think of some space probes that were pretty fuckin’ fire.

700 Thespians who did not have some macho ridiculous warrior creed

Such drama queens.

And yet, if I show you various things, you’ll be able to tell me if they are a vegetable or not. Vegetables are a social construct, not a biological construct. But that’s OK. Money is also a social construct.

We should pass a funny law that requires all humanoid robots to grunt as they move.

May a cat let you rub its belly in the near future.

They have no faces. They have no eyes. Their ears are smooth slabs. They cannot taste, smell, hear, or see. They cannot even breathe the air around them. They cannot speak. And yet, they somehow persist, kept animate and aware by unknown Eldritch forces. They have no mouths, yet they must scream.

A plant phasing through walls? Strangely blue-shifted light? Whose to say how physics works in their Godless world? I do not know what Hell these beings dwell in, but I pray that I am never reincarnated there.

The worst future: AI art continues to improve until it actually is indistinguishable from human art for 99% of the population. But the cost in turn rises. It costs maybe a quarter of what a human artist would need to charge for the same work. Still cheap enough to mostly put human artists out of business, but still by no means cheap or affordable. The AI companies drive the real artists out of their fields, and then raise the prices as high as they can without allowing a new crop of commercial artists to spring up.

Not Cheyenne, Wyoming. Go there. Walk the streets of its downtown. Walk those desolate streets and say to yourself, “this place is actually the capital of an entire state?”

Cheyenne, Wyoming, the town that God forgot.

What if I manufacture a blunderbuss right now, in the Year of Our Lord 2026? Is that a firearm?

Probably a felon that doesn’t want to end up back in jail?

You have poor reading comprehension.

Arson.

Think you responded to the wrong person.

I would argue HRT changes your sex.

Frankly I prefer that to the wishy washy language around gender.

You don’t know the meaning of the word.

Frankly, as a trans person, I’m not a fan of the term. I didn’t get treatment to “affirm my gender.” I changed my sex. I literally changed my sex. I didn’t get “gender affirming treatment” or whatever the new entry on the euphemism treadmill is we’re supposed to use this year.

This has big “only trans people have gender identity” energy.
