Clearly that’s Goldmember
This is a relic of my time and I appreciate that it lives on.
You could make a pretty good surrealist novel out of this. Have the detective/dreamer switching back and forth, in the noir world you’re solving a case that turns out to be a cold case in the waking world and this leads the dreamer to solving the case for real. All the while the noir partner seems to be keenly aware that he’s a dream, but does what he can to keep the detective focused so the dream doesn’t dissolve. Finally it culminates with the all the clues found and the partner breaks the veil so the dreamer wakes up with the information and realizes the murderer was someone in his own life or something.
Keep it real subtle maybe, like it’s two completely different stories jumping back and fourth, but it slowly meshes together as it gets closer to the end. Characters introduced in one side play play roles in the other but are only introduced once. “Dan Smith, a heavy set guy from accounting jokes in the break room” "as you walk into the most recent scene you overhear officer Smith quip, 'it’s nights like this that make me wish I’d become an accountant. ’ causing the detective to double take before the partner draws him back in.
Fuck I’d read it.
This game was dumb in all the best ways, my cousin and I still quote this game all the time lol
I don’t get it, can’t black just move the king?
Truly a fine vintage.
What book is this and where do I get it?
For starters, I think it should be something backed entirely by science with very little political involvement in the discussion. Following that, I think it should start strictly with things we can identify perfectly and from there should be strictly things that decrease the lifespan by more than 30 years or that totally prevent a normal standard of living. No one needs to be sterilized because they have glasses, but I’d argue that colorblindness should go given that we color code our infrastructure.
Simultaneously we need to pair this with a cultural movement to glorify the idea of adoption and proactive sterilization while establishing a system to provide safe and curated ivf or surrogacy to those who can’t ethically reproduce. It’s not their fault they were born this way and their sacrifice is a heroic venture, they deserve to pass on their cultural lineage as much as anyone.
While I agree with this, US and to a lesser degree global politics is making a very good argument that easily available information has no impact on peoples ability to act responsibly.
Exactly, and that provides a great example as to how fucking stupid previous “eugenicists” are. Everyone talks shit on eugenics because Nazis pretended to believe in eugenics.
Eugenics as a concept isn’t bad, we just keep letting assholes pilot it.
I firmly believe that it isn’t ethical to bring a child into the world knowing it’s going to have a condition that will effect it’s quality of life severely and likely continue to do so for generations to come. We have the tech to predict, modify, and avoid tons of issues. We already do it regularly with Downs. It would take tragically little effort to do the same for things like sickle cell, psoriasis, color blindness, even some mental illnesses.
It’s only a problem because someone inevitably says, “that’s brilliant! And while we’re at it we can get rid of the Jews/blacks/gays/etc!”
Incandescent bastard…
This, I’ve been writing in inc brand R2s for 16 years now and I will never willingly use a different writing utensil.
Honestly, that’s a lot more hopeful than what one found myself. I really hope it’s not something I have to seriously pursue, but every day makes it feel more likely.
The biggest mistake we made during the civil war was not hanging every confederate old enough to hold a rifle.
The biggest mistake we made with the Nazis was not locking every single one of them in their own gas chambers.
The biggest mistake we will make is letting anyone capable of fixing this off the hook after it’s over.
I’m an American with a minority wife. Even if we could afford to go somewhere, we can’t get close to a boarder without ICE black bagging us.
How possible is it to become a citizen in Canada? Everything I can find online says you either need a Canadian spouse or a Doctorate with a job lined up to make it happen.
I’ll give my all if another country will take me, but I can’t find any way out of this hell
Well of course, half the nation would get together to spring Luigi, but no one’s gonna come for a Nazi fuck face.
