So the reason I was pissed off about Bernie Sanders circlejerking a few weeks ago was because I was talking about some fantasy stuff I was writing and two people took the wind out of me to talk about how fucking awesome Bernie Sanders was.
I mean, I get that mentioning politics will get people riled up to some extent. But to have your entire conversation co-opted so that other people can suck each other's dicks about Sanders? It's personally insulting to have that done to something you were enthusiastic about.
Which was why I was mad. IDGAF about politics happening on the opposite spectrum of the world and would prefer if discussions of such did not undermine my enthusiasm for something I made.
i mean what's so bad about being a clone obviously
like not even an actual clone since OBVIOUSLY that's fine, it's just you're the twin of someone older than you
but like damn there's three people running around with the same stupid hairstyle is it that huge a deal? i mean sure there's only like one non-clone societal role to split between them but you can work that out it's not impossible
i bet i could explain how natural reproduction (as in the growth part, not sex joke) works to the extent that you'd find it at least as spooky as IVF or whatever
huhreally, i wasn't like overcome by realness but it seemed like something that would definitely seem plausible if i had grown up in the 1940s or something
but even then i suppose the hilarious skynet shit is just a more technical version of "let's bomb that target filled with civilians because it's a bad target" that's as old as strategic bombing
the thing with cat ears is that they have the whole complex musculature thing, which kinda rules them out I think, as nice as they would be
i have heard varying opinions on how necessary wiggling is (and also how necessary functional hearing is, the consensus seems to be who cares, whereas wiggling is more up in the air)
functional hearing is definitely a who cares, I think the wiggling is very important though as the expressiveness is a big part of the appeal (to me at least)
so, I would be happy to settle for something like a less bulky version of those goofy nekomimi ear things you can buy for like 70 bucks on Amazon
So my computer locked up. Then clicking on anything brought up the "this program is requesting permission to make changes to your computer" dialogue for whatever program it was, and I couldn't use the keyboard, even after logging out of my profile.
A reboot seems to have fixed the problem, but, what the actual fuck? Software failure? Some kind of malware? I'm so confused.
Also there's a little thing in the corner saying "Intel RT Service Is Not Running" which I don't know what that is.
there's something about those two books, brave new world and 1984, that rub me the wrong way and i've never quite articulated them
ideologically speaking that is
in terms of like the actual writing i thought brave new world was ok and 1984 was bad but you all already know my thoughts there
as far as orwell goes i always thought 1984 and animal farm are both definitely overrated and actually the best orwell is Down and Out in Paris and London

Can Sanders?
Which is funny because his name is actually Jon.
I named the Gen Two children after heroes/heroines of gothic novels.
The oldest: Catherine after Catherine Earnshaw (Wuthering Heights)
The middle: Jonathan after Jonathan Harker (Dracula)
The youngest: Jane after Jane Eyre (Jane Eye)
but speaking of conversation topics this short story thing is just really obvious
like it's a mystery but nah it's obviously gonna be something like this
and that's not bad right but
it's so weird it's like seeing the damn future and reading it is more like rereading it
like not even an actual clone since OBVIOUSLY that's fine, it's just you're the twin of someone older than you

find out i'm actually just hallucinating my lover and she died like twenty years ago like eighty thousand times
like if you cry every time that's where i'm going to be
like, and i know this confuses people sometimes, they're not robotic, they're just remotes
so it's pretty much the same as operation menu or something except with zero risk to pilots instead of practically zero risk to pilots
not that it isn't bad, but it's not really bad for technological reasons, though they might be getting there with that fucking hilarious skynet shit
so, I would be happy to settle for something like a less bulky version of those goofy nekomimi ear things you can buy for like 70 bucks on Amazon
