I personally believe that long time love, as in like life long love or anything over say 10 years, is truly impossible and just needlessly tying yourself down. As far as I can tell it always breaks down and there's always some struggle to preserve it which makes both sides very bitter. Easier and better for everyone to just break it off on friendly terms, maybe take a break from each other and if possible reconnect as friends.
Can confirm this is, objectively, untrue, my parents still love each other after a VERY long time. Its not as common as fiction paints it, and most relations break down. Maybe if we were immortal all would, but a relation lasting 20, 30, 40, or even 60 years, is fully possible. I can confirm this from it happening within my family.

That's why technologically fueled (and controlled) evolution are so important. But no. People won't ever accept it. That makes me so mad!
Like human augmentation through technology and genetics and such?
Yes. I am a post- and trans-humabist and firmly believe that we have reached a crucial point in our equilibrium with our environment. We either accept the fact that we have to control ourselves (which may sound pretty harsh, I admit it) or go extinct.

I honestly prefer the first option.

I find it amusing this topic comes up the day after I start playing Dues-Ex.

I would feel the same but I have a hard time convincing myself it'll happen. I do hope it does though. Then again I turn to the ethical side of things and all the ethical problems it would cause. Which boths excite me as I love delving into ethical problems and frighten me because that means stupid people will develop stupider opinions on stuff.


O.T: "There are no dumb questions only, stupid answers." Oh? Well are there any dumb questions?

Two things: Good for them, that's awesome! Two: They are the exception, not the rule. Sadly. Still nice though.

truly impossible
e_e

As far as the whole, genetic/electronic engineering in humans, I seriously doubt it will happen in our lifetimes, and have doubts if it should really happen at all, electronics are far too easy to hack, there have already been incidents where someones pacemaker could be controlled remotely, now imagine if you could hack someones whole body... *shudder*

Genetic engineering is longterm better, but means experimenting on people over a long period of time, likely people who have to be experimented on before they are even born... so... morally dubious in the extreme.

Some of these things are already happening. Just saying.

All I gotta say about it for now is I swear if someone takes a risky, nowhere near safe yet procedure to try and become a real life furry, I will finally lose all hope. XD

...If someone offered... I would probably say yes to be honest. :l

I know I would regret it, but it would be the only time I would be asked in my entire life, and basic curiosity would take over.

If it was something such as genetic splicing in order to fix an otherwise uncurable condition and that was somehow the side effect, then I wouldn't care. If that was their initial motivation though, then my god would I be annoyed at the waste it'd be.

I believe actions speak significantly louder than words.

All the time I see people saying "I'm incredible", "I'm smart", "I'm good at X", but then have absolutely nothing to show for it. People will always blame something else for their failures, like "My friend did X", or "My teacher was a jerk" or "The economy is really bad".

  Yes, they're all valid problems, but for people who have succeeded and have done something that you weren't able to do, they had the same problems and the same trials. If you have nothing to show for X, then you're not good at X, plain and simple. If you're "smart" but have bad grades, or haven't done any cool projects, or haven't achieved anything great, then you're not smart. If you're "Creative' but haven't written anything or published any music, or art, or stories, then you're not good at creative subjects. You're not good at anything until you actually have something to show for it.

Sled dogs don't make as good as pets as people think they do, especially not for first-time dog owners, who always remark on how magnificent they are.


Yes, they are very beautiful and loyal dogs, but they are very high-energy. You can't leave them home alone for more than a couple hours at a time, or else they make mischief or start to get agitated.


The same thing goes for wolf-dogs. My wolf-dog is only 25% dog but she is still a wild animal, essentially. You can't domesticate wolves in one century.

So, since a lot of people seem to hate this: I don't mind games getting HD remakes. Actually, I love it! It lets the new generation get to play those old gems that we enjoyed as kids, and even with a better look. Sure it's not exactly like we played it, but I don't care. Some old consoles and games can be difficult to get. Sure, you can just search them up on Ebay or Amazon, but it's much easier to just go down to your local store and buy a Nintendo 3DS and the Ocarina of Time HD remake.
I've heard people say "Just leave it to the old consoles" and "they're just ruining the games". No, they're not. They're letting the new generation of gamers experience what we played, and since a lot of kids nowadays seem to think that graphics play a big role in good games, they're just upgrading them.

Oh, right, it did come out already. XD


I don't really like Undertale that much. I played it, and I honestly wasn't very impressed. It's a good game, but I don't understand why people are fangirling about it so much.

I concur.


I feel like although it is not a good thing for Russia to be fighting in Ukraine, it is not really any worse than the following American wars: the Spanish American war, the Mexican American war, etc. Both just countries expanding, just at different times in history.
