Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Utilitarian brainworms or one of the many very real instances of a homicidal parent going after their disabled child? I can't decide, but it's a depressing read.

May end up on SRD, but you read it here first.

I love the implication in this paragrph that the disability is not the depression but the lack of "courage to kill themselves". I think they could probably live with that.

Real boomer energy to look at a depressed person and lament that they don’t have the wherewithal to take care of themselves (meant both in the normal sense and in the mafia sense)

Ok I thought this was about euthanasia but I clicked through and he's basically just advocating for family annihilation??? There's no way THIS could go wrong, huh??

" Q2: Suicide is not the answer to depression and equivalent ailments!

A2: You should at least be able to accept that sometimes it is the best answer in our imperfect world. Your character in this scenario has come to believe this is one of those times. "

I feel like there might be some other issues with your parenting if this is the case. Chronic depression rarely comes from nowhere.
