depressing rant about personhood

Doppelgänger fiction is depressing because the angst characters have that others only like the mask and not the self is just true, and the trope where another character realizes there's an impersonator is just cope. No one expects a doppelgänger, so a convincing impersonation is not even necessary. While humans are biosocial beings, under any organization of society where embodiment is critical to its functions, "person" becomes nearly synonymous with "body". So it is not even necessarily the "role" a doppelgänger must take on convincingly. The most important "role" a person plays is just their physical presence. Actual behavior can be quite inconsistent!

Written a couple days after watching Episode 14 of Ergo Proxy via proxy, ha.

So anyway this is why we must all aspire to be more like Fai Rodis from the hit untranslated novel Bull's Hour.

This is the last month the solar industry gets government subsidies which could explain the spike.

It's really funny that de-escalatory strikes are real but also the only strikes that are called de-escalatory officially are always escalatory.

I wonder if Chinese skyscraper-building factories will succeed unlike Japan's which fell off after the 90s

tactical nuke

Total meme category. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were "strategic" bombings using "tactical" yields according to post-war terminology.

I honestly don't know. A majority of Americans don't support a war with Iran, but that doesn't matter. A supermajority might disapprove of the nuke, but that also wouldn't matter. Obviously the public opinion will depend on the pretext, but the public opinion just never matters.

Can you get a PO box?

No, the average American has always viewed the Soviet Union as just Russia, and uses the two terms interchangeably. This is even funnier when you consider that Soviet Ukraine quite literally had its own representative in the UN, but of course the average American also knows nothing about the UN.

 

Supreme Court ruled the President gets near absolute immunity and can't have evidence brought forth against him lmaoo

Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.

Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial.

 

The queerbaiting will go crazy but hey at least this will be good for the eggconomy

 

We're reopening the community so that there's a space on Hexbear dedicated to discussing feminist issues. However, that does not mean c/womenby will now be exclusively for that. Feel free to use it as you would have before its closure. aubrey-happy

You can discuss in this thread what you'd like to see out of the comm as well as any potential changes you'd want.

 

The Senate voted 130-4 to pass the law in its final reading with 18 abstentions.

The bill will be forwarded to the cabinet and then submitted for royal endorsement.

It will take effect within 120 days of being published in the Royal Gazette, making Thailand the third country in Asia to recognise same-sex marriages after Nepal and Taiwan.

 

(the male and female sex-classes are in a dialectical relationship; the abolition of the male sex also entails the self-abolition of the female sex, dw)

 

I've been on a bit of a slammer roll recently...

The sex/gender distinction of the 20th century and now deeply popular among LGBT+ circles in the 21st century was one step forwards, two steps backwards. Although it provides a simple "explanation" of trans people, it ultimately cements sex and thus patriarchy as the natural state of things. Human sex has always been a social concept with biological justifications applied retroactively and selectively. The proletarianization of women and advances in medical science lay bare the absurdity of sex and for the first time in human history create the conditions for the world-historical abolition of sex and male supremacy. As the proletarian revolution self-abolishes the proletariat, so too does the transsexual-feminist social revolution self-abolish the woman and transsexual. Down with cisgenderism!

I'm sure the racists over at r/space discussed this as well...
