Test your hypothesis. If it’s valid, you can make observations about people and from those you will be able to reliably predict their birthdate. Publish your results.

These kids today, always writing things down and reading them. Scrolls! In my day we remembered things! Remember that? Course not, we didn’t write it down and your memories are all mush because kids these days are always writing things down and reading them!

Every court has standards and procedures for establishing legitimate admissible evidence and verifying it to the satisfaction of a jury. We already have plenty of law about lying under oath, perjury. What if you make a politicians’ oath of office include a duty to tell the truth when speaking in an official capacity, whether that’s in a speech, in the legislature, to a journalist or a constituent, under punishment of perjury.

Your parent/child analogy doesn’t fit. Parents don’t physically combine to create a chimera. Parents don’t have to cease to exist so that a child can exist.

The Seven analogy also doesn’t fit, unless you’re suggesting that Tuvix is analogous to Annika+Borg, in which case Janeway was consistent: nonconsensual chimerism should be reversed.

Janeway had a duty to recover her crewmen. If Tuvok and Neelix both wanted to be recombined into Tuvix, they could have.

Janeway had a responsibility to restore her crew to their original status. Both Tuvok and Neelix were unharmed while integrated as Tuvix, therefore Tuvix remains unharmed while split back into the original individuals. If Tuvok and Neelix wished to recombine, they could both consent and do so.

Hated it. Quit when I found out I wasn’t allowed to kill the terrorist who crashed my ship and killed my partner.

Are there any other ATProto servers? Can you bail to those today?

I hated Callisto Protocol because of the story so much that I quit rather than advance the narrative. When I couldn’t kill Dani Nakamura for murdering my partner and crashing my ship and locking me in her cell after I freed her, I quit. No thanks, she sucks, not interested in saving her under any circumstances.

This is Twisted Force erasure.

Buncha degens from undiscovered country.

The most Gen X move is to get overlooked, so this feels right to me.

Substack bans pornography but allows Nazis.

This is clearly a derivative of the work done by Doctor Emmett Brown in the mid 1950s.

UDP is yeet-based

Wow, coming outta nowhere to sideswipe Mississippi for no apparent reason, great work you’re doing here.

Agreed, bsky is currently developing and testing its federation capabilities with multiple servers in-house, which is an elaborate way of scaling but doesn’t actually have the critical necessary component for a federation, ie another entity on the other side. Bsky is the sole operator, administrator, moderator, and arbiter.

I don’t think my father, the inventor of cantrips, would be too pleased with this.
