It’s Me, Myself and I.
Achieving a state of complacementness in an unperfect world full of suffering and joy.
Yep – that’s what I like about it. Good and bad are fluid, like in reality. Even Bester is shown to be a caring character striving for the good of his people.
Not exactly a story. I just watched Babylon 5, and it’s fascinating how the good guys are the bad guys are the good guys are the bad guys…
IIRC the main mechanism of the mini pill is that they prevent nidation. That’s why they are (were?) banned by the catholic church.
Just looked it up – there are three mechanisms. Yours, mine and an induced tibary dysfunction. TIL, thank you.
It’s worse: if they ban the destruction of human morulae, they have to ban the use of the pill as well, at least the mini variant.
Depends on where you are in the world.
Did they screw it up? Hypoxia causes convulsions, that’s a well known fact, so I don’t get all the fuss about witnessing normal body functions in a dying body. Especially as people convulsing are unconscious.
The real torture here – and with all death sentences – is the years and decades long psychological torture while on death row. And rspecially in this case of course the first, botched execution attemped. Ramming needles for four hours into someone!
The only problem is that that’s just the theory. There are lot of steps that can and will go wrong in practice and turn this method into torture. What is the rate of botched executions by injection? I don’t know, but well above 0 %.
I can use the same tools/scripts on my phone that I use on desktop (using mostly terminal apps there, too)
No bad guys are good guys. And most good guys are not good guys, either.
The Shadows, the Centauri and the PSI Corps are introduced as “bad guys” but gain a lot of positive aspects during the show without becoming “good guys”. The Nightwatch and the Earth Governement under president Clark are “bad guys” – but quite a few of there supporters/members become important “good” characters, like Zach Allan, Elizabeth Lochley or Susanna Luchenko.
That’s my point about the Babylon 5 series – they deconstruct the good guy/bad guy meme. Mostly.
