I mean, he wasn’t an LLM. Dude had a distinct personality, even if it was composed of two others. I don’t see this kind of disdain for the Trill.

Edit: I think the decision to kill Tuvix was the right one, in the circumstances that Voyager was in. If they were in Federation space, the issue would have been far tricker, and more may have been attempted. I feel that the Federation’s largest asset is near-complete access to basically any resource, so to my mind the whole point of the episode (and Voyager in general) was seeing a post-scarcity society be forced to deal with the cruel calculus of necessity.

It feels like interpreting Tuvix as a non-person with no identity or voice cheapens the message of the episode in a way that seems directly contradictory to the greater philosophy of the universe depicted. I don’t think Janeway was satisfied with her decision, I don’t think anyone was, and I think there’s value in holding on to that dissatisfaction and using it to shape their actions going forward, and that absolving that decision of it’s full weight would in many ways make the values of the Federation ring more hollow to me.

We should be taking… Specific… People?

And steamed carrots slap.

There is! Both games are good, this feels more like a maintenance release to ensure the original remains playable. The remake has IIRC an “original game” mode that stays true to the source, but I was pleasantly surprised with the new and altered puzzles in the remake.

Exile is my comfort game, just so wonderful.

I would say under-extrusion would probably make ironing less attractive in this case depending on why there was under-extrusion.Would help, but I think it would still be subpar.

I don’t disagree, I just also believe that the people who don’t know what the expected answer is are proportionally more likely to be on the spectrum than not.

That one at least has a reasonably understandable medical purpose, all donated blood is tested for the kinds of diseases that these questions are meant to attmpt to screen for, and any amount of testing that can be avoided early saves them more money to spend on other lifesaving pursuits.

My understanding is more that it presents a “logically correct” choice (making money to pay bills and be generally… alive) and a “socially correct” choice (the corporate answer) to filter people out.

I’ve heard these described as a “legally acceptable way of filtering out people with autism” and man I’ve not seen them the same way since.

It’s very distinct. I wouldn’t call it vomit, but it’s a lingering chemical-ey taste.

I think I have a mutation in a taste bud or something, but Sucralose is really a prominent and nasty taste to me in anything it’s in. Really frustrating to taste it in otherwise sugary drinks, like some of the Monster flavors.

For reference, I also think cilantro tastes like soap. No clue if that’s an indicator or not.

There’s a base default, for games that don’t have a valve default. Devs can also set a default themselves IIRC which is essentially the same as a valve default for the purposes of this conversation. The original implementation did not automatically allow all games without a valve default to be run, something that there’s still a setting for which is now default on. The override option overrides either the valve default if there is one or the base default if both the option to allow games without valve defaults is on and there is no valve default.

So if you override a game that does have a valve default and then remove the override, it’ll use the valve default whatever that happens to be at the time.

I really don’t understand the aggression, I was talking about the old rich dead people propaganda concerning no taxation without representation 200 years ago, I never said anything about the fuckwads we have today.

If you think I’m saying something different, explain what you read and allow me the opportunity to clarify my intent.

Saying I’m full of shit at this point is just asinine.

I don’t know, I don’t see anyone saying that here.

That’s possibly reframing “no taxation without representation” a bit but I don’t entirely disagree with the sentiment.

They’re cops, you’ve put more thought into it than they did.

I don’t enjoy the idea of babies given circumcisions, I can’t abide genetic tailoring by a person internationally decried as an unethical practitioner doing things in secret just to stoke his ego to make him the first, bypassing the incredibly necessary ethical safeguards that the industry enforces against themselves.

I don’t want him to be able to do what he did in the way that he did it because the way that he did what he did allows for monstrosities to be committed in the name of advancing science at any cost with no thought to potential lifelong unknowable direct consequences in the people being treated.

I don’t have an anti-genetic editing slant, I don’t think the goal is bad.
