Brace yourself: eugenics is going to come roaring back under the label of "sociogenomics." It's going to appeal to the right people to be very profitable.

Why skip steps? Where is the justice for the 2nd party?

Thinking about Lorde's Hot Ones interview again.

What blows my mind isn't that she enjoys the really spicy wings, it's that she has such a minimal *involuntary* response to them. Like, there are a lot of spicy foods I will happily eat but that make my nose run/eyes water a lot. She just no-sells it all on an *autonomic* level

My least favorite thing about replaying Pokemon X/Y is how it loves to pop up little nag boxes on the touch screen about features that it thinks you're not using enough. I don't want to do a random online battle with my level 15 team, thanks

All the elaborate total conversion hacks of pokemon games are cool but I need a mod that disables this & a "Do Not Disturb" setting for the HGSS phone as well
