I can see it now... ten years hence, uber amazing gardening mecha have taken over the world, subjecting us all to a life of propagating organic veggies and being kind to former food animals.

PS. The suit looks cool ... kinda, but what does it actually DO? Seems a bit redundant to me unless it can water the garden itself and tell you the correct planting time for broccoli.

Re: Becoming posthuman
whenever i see this, my 'vengeace' and 'furious anger' indicators flare red and i need to sit in a secluded room for a while...
this isn't "post-human", this is "please, somebody, stop me!" and is, quite possibly, the only natural destination achievable through mucking around with the human genome...
once the furries get in on the act i will have no choice but to engage in 'excessive pruning'...

Well written... you dont need those meds, they were prescribed to you by the MIB to think humanmina.magpie wrote:Hmmm... Humans are a species of semi-hairless primates suffering from the rather serious delusion that they are "intelligent lifeforms". They believe, in fact, that they are the only such lifeforms on their little spitlick mudball of a planet. Meanwhile the dolphins are laughing their arses off at them. These hairless primates continually perpetrate wars of aggression against others of their kind using ever more advanced technologies they are basically continually developing in preparation of the NEXT war. They justify these acts with the litany "God made me do it." Another favourite is "They started it ... at some point in the past." As a byproduct of the technologies these "intelligent" primates have developed, they are slowly poisoning themselves and every other organism on the planet. Xarth Mel of Kyberon 7 has postulated that this process will see these "humans" evolving into puddles of goo.rustypup wrote:what does "human" mean to you?...

Ya know what? Bring on the dehumanising technologies! They can't make us any worse!
Mina,
didn't take her meds this morning. THAT's why she's channeling alien consciousnesses.

Actually, I've know for ages already - I just could not let it slide this time.Zana wrote:You just discovered my spelling sux , so what...
Here's a bit of advice:
If you want to your opinion to be taken seriously, using proper grammar and punctuation will help.
If your post is an incoherent ramble with misspelled words and poorly constructed sentences, nobody is going to pay any attention to the thoughts and ideas your post is trying to convey.Why can you not take the time to check your post for errors? Hell, most browsers underline misspelled words for you in red. Maybe you are colour blind and have never noticed this before... I don't usually nit-pick about this sort of thing, but you seem to want to be take more seriously then the average sir spamalot, and that's not going to happen unless you put an extra 10 seconds of effort into your posts and make them more comprehensible.
If you think your opinions could be of some benefit to me, please make sure to better construct your posts in the more intellectual threads of the forum so that I may actually read and understand them.
Anyway, this is not an attack, just a bit of advice from someone who usually only reads the first two sentences of your posts before giving up and moving on.
You can use it or, I can continue to skip over any post of yours longer than two lines - either way, no harm, no foul.
Love and hugs.

Re: Becoming posthuman
Thanks Tribble its o.k, I am so used to people ranting about my spelling ..first of all why I am not bothered about spelling and grammer(grandma), or even people taking me seriously, if the first amendment that people never take me seriously until they experience a phenomena which I have experienced, which could be called something that is too late orTribble wrote:

1) Tieredness, when the day goes by I naturally get tiered... and spelling gets worse and worse... also the possibility of not having work i grow careless... and follow my thaughts and thaughts think faster than texting on the keyboard.
2) I am not writing formal stuffies, and only casually so its ok for the odd error.. two weeks or even a week and at least a day down the line this text will hardly be read... and it would drift to the dregs of the forum in a matter of time... precipitating out of solution and never to be acessed , only if one searches "spelling" + "zana"... its not as if i am creating an article for the mag isnt it ?
3)My nails are long, and sometimes i press the wrong keys, and sometimes my mind words faster than the typing hence a letter swap occurs ... only when i read through its WTF... i made spelling, and grammar... io got other messages to to reply... moving on...
Love and hugs
