"I don't hate when I die because they're better than me; I hate when they just get lucky" - Me, Black Ops 3, Twenty minutes ago

That's a low blow

That actually reminds me of a magic system I've heard of recently. There was a certain ability of one of the magic users where they could steal the signature ability of the user, but the ability couldn't be used in ways that contradicted the owner's philosophy. One example was the ability to manipulate objects. The person who stole the ability saw human corpses as objects, but the owner didn't see them as objects. This contradiction didn't allow the magic to affect human corpses because the owner's way of thinking contradicted the one who stole it.

Perfectly reasonable. I like testing certain areas when people say something rather vague. Most people don't really question some things, and I find it necessary for a sound mind to question beliefs. Creating a neat little list of criteria fits that nicely.

But what if they enjoy being human property? Imagine they were a species which coevolved with another species to the point where serving others was as natural an instict as eating is with us. Ignoring the unlikelyhood of such an evolution, what if they viewed themselves as property and/or wished it? This extends to human rights as what if they don't need/want certain human rights but also need/want other rights?

Do you mean Mary Higby Schweitzer? She never really claimed that it was red blood cells. At best, she indicated that it was possible. Later research showed that it was not blood cells, and she accepted that. I wasn't able to find the source, but I recall an interview where she stated that she regrets making that study due to how people have hijacked it for their own agenda.

Nah, I just like being reminded that I'm pretty.

I used to before it got stupid a few years ago. I mostly played as a kid.

I think it's just people tired with their job trying to lighten things up.

It's a thought experiment. Diseases and other risks with being intimate with non-human beings. I'm not talking about a dog; I'm talking about Jeogryff the alien who works with you at the company.

This is somehow worse than the idiots who think they found a dinosaur with blood still in them.

What if it's another intelligent, sapient species who feels love in a way very similar to humans?

Every hero is the villian to some. Perspective is key here.

Let's have two people, Alfonz and Berny. Alfonz wants to stop his village from being destroyed and therefore wants to stop Berny from doing "something" that will destroy his village. But Berny also wants to stop his village from being destroyed and has to do "something" to prevent its destruction. Each person sees each other as the bad guy.

Very few people identify outside of a few specific categories such as male, female, or non-binary. Don't mistake idiots crying out for attention with people who suffer from mental damage from not being correctly identified.

You gave me nightmares for weeks until I realized!

Thank you for spreading the idea that I'm poor. I'll have you know that I'm out there working the pole every night!
