As a single person who’s friends mostly all have kids I can tell you it often feels quite the opposite. I’m sure there are 100 stories we could tell from either vantage point but in lieu of that perhaps one could say that kids can change relationships between the parents and single people.
It’s weird but there are fantastic reasons to do it either way. If dad takes daughter she gets to know that men can empower her and/or cheer on her own self-empowerment. If mom takes daughter she gets to know that women can be heroes. Personally without knowing them I’d always vote for dad because it’s the rarer gift…
I’m trying to think what morning, evening, late-night, Sunday, youtube, convention interviews won’t have Rosa Salazar in the next 6 weeks. I hope she’s as strong as she looks because she’s going to be everywhere.
I don’t understand how you lot don’t understand Wicked Whims. You can turn off all the autonomy. Nobody is judging you for not wanting virtual entities to fornicate. There’s no need to mis-characterize the mod as ‘Interrupting’ or ‘Stop Blowing everyone’. The mod makes either zero, 1, or many changes. It’s either…
Ever notice that people who have not been beaten never advocate for beatings? I don’t suggest that indicates anything conclusive but it is interesting. People that grow up around violence quite often normalize it. I think things that have a 1:1 normalizing conditioning should be given a triple dose of reflection.
...will be capable of accomplishing virtually anything it’s programmed or decides to do.

The only worthwhile scene in the 9 hours is the Dwarves singing in the very first movie at the beginning. After watching it I realized this was largely due to the fact that while the song went on like a Bombadil fever dream the director and editors were compelled to not fuck it up with CGI, plot development,…
“a few fewer” is a better sounding “fewer”. It lets you into the fact of there being less of a thing slowly. AFAIK it’s legit.
Two female leads? TMas gotcha covered. 10? Sure, why not?
I don’t remember what little I do know of the Gygax story and am eager to read this for some of the same questions have always bothered me.
At least you’re dude enough to be upfront about it.
It’s 16 paragraphs long with a link-bait-sounding title which with any thought must surely mean there’s more to the story than one would assume?
I don’t think they manufacture it at all. They percieve, correctly, that a large sector of the public with throw a tizzy if it airs because it’s “insensitive” and “offensive” and “cruel” and all those other things. It’s the social equivalent of narcissistic self-righteousness. If I’m offended or upset by something…
In a strange way I find this consideration for the victims, families, public, etc.. more disturbing than had people seen the show and drawn parallels without being angry at the inconsideration of airing it. Of course, that doesn’t happen. People would have been upset with the show, network, etc.. had they aired it.…
Michael Mando as Vic-the-Dick. I like how they left us hanging with this rather than trying to “resolve” everything in every plotline. I don’t know if he was just written out or what but he got a great job in the Breaking Bad spinoff: “Better Call Saul”. I hear he’s excellent in it.
They may be distinguishing the idea of an “original” adult from an “original” zygote. When people hear cloning they often assume an adult has been replicated when it’s more likely that a fertile zygote has been replicated.
you could conceivably create a female clone from a male original (split off the “Y” chromosome and replicate the “X”), and thus have a single original for both lines.
Most of the clone’s DNA is just normal human stuff. They have “synthetic sequences” but we don’t yet have an idea how much material there is relative to an untampered genome, how much has replaced normal sequences, and how much is extra (like the patent).
