[megatheorem]

And rob you of your own interesting fact? I would never.

[mehanizovati]

Incredibly kind of you. And now I can inform everyone metal is superior to bone regardless in this case.

[megatheorem]

You're going to start fights in this friendly chat space. I'm remaining neutral for my own sake.

[mehanizovati]

Friendly is debatable. Besides, a challenge is good for the mind, such as trying to defend an incorrect position.

[megatheorem]

Be nice. Neutrally, I think you should give bones a fairer chance.

[mehanizovati]

I am debating if this is too public a forum to say it is cute when you are being so intently neutral. I suppose it couldn't terribly hurt your reputation.

[megatheorem]

Well, it's not very neutral of you, but I'll allow it. It's not breaking any of Paul's rules, QED, it's permissible.

My reputation is too amorphous to be hurt, anyway.

[mehanizovati]

You're already allowing me to speak ill of bones, I think your bias has already been shown.

I suppose you do have the dignity of an accomplished necromatic blood minister who also has a skeleton named Dr. Sex Jr. The duality of man.

[megatheorem]

Hardly. I'm neutral about bones vs. metal. All other biases are tangential to the greater debate. (But if anyone else speaks ill of bones, I'm entitled to argue.)

Thanks! Admit that you like Dr. Sex Jr.

[mehanizovati]

One day I will tempt you into a debate about bones. Maybe if I write a paper about it that will be the trick.

Fine, I like Dr. Sex Jr. He is a step up from the dolls and Rio is fascinated with him. Actually:

[attached is a picture of rio from earlier, her entire snout/nose/whatever lizards have trying to poke into the doctor's rib cage. she has big, wide eyes like she has never done anything wrong in her life.]

[hauntedsavior]

Second.
Source: am that thing you said.

[mehanizovati]

And as someone with bones I cannot use myself as an amp. I think this is further a point in favor of our argument.

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, see? Robots just have it better.
Beep boop, motherfucker.
Good thing I'm not interested in killing all humans. It'd be like tearing through tissue paper.

(Note to anyone who doesn't know me super well yet: This is a joke, and I am making jokes right now.)

[mehanizovati]

Well, at least the bones would provide a nice crunch if so. I can give them that.

Also a somewhat morbid joke, though I suppose true enough. Thank you for tolerating flesh people.

[hauntedsavior]

Listen, I'm still part flesh person myself. I'm, like, a bridge between the communities.
That's why cyborgs were created in the first place, probably.
Just so nobody's afraid of people with artificial limbs or bodies or anything like that.
Normalizing the whole thing.

[mehanizovati]

I am also not against making anyone metal limbs if need be, let that be said.
I would prefer it be because they have lost said limb and do not wish to chop it off but that is another matter.

[hauntedsavior]

Oh shit, for real?
Hey, uh.
Wild implicit question, but my last mechanic squidded up and rolled out into the sea.

[mehanizovati]

Yes, it's actually something of a specialty. Biomedical engineering and robotics, I suppose I just found augmentation fascinating.

I'd be happy to help, if you need it. In fact I've been teaching a couple of cyborgs how to handle their own maintenance and repairs because it is so typical for people to come and go. Would you be interested in something like that?

[megatheorem]

In my defense, I'm only thinking about materials that aren't actively in a body at the time of use.

You know, very neutrally. I'm neutral.

[hauntedsavior]

Uh huh.
You're straight up Switzerland, PM.
No skin in this game.
No fingers on this scale whatsoever.

[megatheorem]

Can I change my (neutral) vote to skin, actually? I'm better at flesh.

[hauntedsavior]

Now granted it's been a couple years since I voted on anything major,
And the stakes in that one were way bigger than this one,
But I don't think you get to have a neutral vote AND vote for something?
I don't know, maybe elections are different in the Nine Houses.
Who's the geopolitical center, I'll check with them.

[megatheorem]

So is that a no? Fine, I'll throw my hat in for skin.

I've never seen an election. The Sixth runs on merit, more or less.

[hauntedsavior]

Damn, an actual functioning meritocracy.
Never thought I'd live to see the day.
I guess if we apply the same logic here then I'm the only person who gets to make any rules about any robots ever.

[megatheorem]

That's right, if you pass enough tests, you too can have my job in the Sixth. I'm not sure we're perfectly functioning, but that's not the point.

Are you declaring yourself the best at being an android among all androids? I'll support you, but not with a vote, obviously, because we're not voting.
