It's not turtles all the way down; the first step, the foundation, comes from the peaks of the bimodal distribution: there are a large number of people who have XY chromosomes, a 🍆 between their legs, a higher T/E ratio, and a certain mental aspect that (if they have it at all) is of a certain type; there are a similar number of people who have XX chromosomes, a 🌮 between their legs, a lower T/E ratio, a different type of that mental aspect (if they have it at all).




Yeah, I picked up on you setting up the "core" group with the biological definition, but we were discussing the edge cases, and I specifically asked what would they be identifying with. You didn't say they're identifying with female physical attributes, or even female psychological traits, you said they'd be identifying with their "gender identity". I even asked about the burly lumberjack scenario, so we could discuss a specific instance, and make sure this isn't just a misunderstanding or a question of poor phrasing, and your answer indicated that literally none of these things are required, only "gender identity" is. This is pretty "turtles all the way down" as far as I can tell, and puts into question whether the "core" group is even necessary for the definition.




There was a time when the Abolitionists had a long way ahead of them.




That's what pedophile rights advocates say as well.




The next day, Henry announces: "I now identify as a woman; therefore, you either have to let me use the women's room, or make the [redacted]s use the men's room! Either way, they'll get what's coming to them if they don't man up, ha ha ha!"




Uh sure, someone explicitly stating "I have been acting in bad faith this entire time!" while villainously twirling their mustache does seem like a reliable indicator of bad faith, I'm frankly surprised even with that you set your confidence at only 95%. It seems like in any realistic scenario, where they don't loudly declare their intentions, the bad faith actor will be given free rein.

Women don't like autists (arguably for good reason), but it's good to have an intelligent mate (higher income, higher chances of all sorts of success), but intelligence and autism often go together. What do? Set up a selection process where the rules are somewhat complex, and opaque. Anyone who can figure them out is probably intelligent. Anyone who wants to talk about them is probably an autist. BOOM!

When I started this thread I thought we could use it to help each other troubleshoot issues like this, but it's been so long since I did anything in Unity, I have no idea what you're talking about. Hopefully someone else can jump in.

Alright, I mostly figured out the background thing. One the player moves to another background cell, the dead bugs are copied to a standard texture, and the GPU texture array gets rearranged so that the movement is seamless (which you can see by the background color changing, but the bugs that got rendered into the background staying in place). It seems to work well and reasonably fast (not counting the first time it's triggered, which I'm hoping to get around by pre-triggering it when the game loads). Now the only thing missing is reloading the "standard" textures into the GPU when the player comes back to a previously visited cell.
