National impact from New York marriage law: experts

By the end of the century we may find ways to communicate with apes and have them vote in elections, as far as we know.

People can already communicate with apes.

And technically apes already vote in elections.

Well, I'm not fat but I do struggle somewhat with my body image and wouldn't mind dropping a couple of pounds around my waist. The problem is whereas as a hetero I would be considered slim, it's not the case among gays. In fact many gays, in addition to being skinny are realy tiny. I wonder why

What's your height/weight?

181 cm, 79-81 kg.

Good for them but I really don't get the big deal about same sex marriage. Who gives a crap whether its called a marriage or a civil partnership? Its just a word. Sure, gay people should be allowed to call it a marriage if they want, but still, surely things would be a lot easier for them in getting gay marriage in some more conservative states if they let it be called a civil partnership there instead of going for the marriage word?

Gay people are weird, that sounds quite normal to me.

I guess there is a point about international recognition - there are international laws on treatment of marriage, whereas there are none on civil partnerships (and even countries that do not recognize some type of marriage - e.g. polygamy - have to apply certain standards). Plus there are countries - like Israel - which only recognize religious marriages and marriages recognized in other countries (I may be wrong about this one though).

Well, Marty is vain so he's probably lying a little bit.  Still, I had to find a metric converter to get a better idea of Marty's dimensions.  He's .00112 miles tall and 2857.2 ounces heavy.  Since his height is miniscule decimal number and his weight is almost 3,000 I've come to the conclusion that Marty is both very short and very fat.

Martinus would be overly large were he a woman.

Capitalism will continue to survive and objectivist libertards will continue to be numerous and influential enough to keep necessary reform to a minimum, even while automation makes human labor increasingly pointless and human intelligence increasingly worthless.

  The horror of automation.  Go pull a plow and tell me how that works out for you.

Fuck you, S.

(I don't weigh that much, but the Ostmensch is taller than me somehow, and I think the BMI is roughly the same.)

Don't be disingenuous.  You know I have no problem with automation, but a system that does not adjust to the technology upon which it rests.

[Neil]

The failure of capitalism is inextricably linked with the failure of democracy.

[The Brain]

Of course Mart is fat, his parents were profiteers.

[alfred russel]

Good show New York.

... while automation makes human labor increasingly pointless and human intelligence increasingly worthless.

Automation not only frees humans to do more productive work but can only replace tasks where human intelligence is ALREADY worthless.

Sounds completely normal, especially if he has some muscle tone.
