I was about to say, we live in a world where Big Brother is about to be fully matured and is unironically named Palantir. I really don’t know what else to say, like the point should be clear.

His show was the number one rated show throughout the 80’s, and anesthesiologists are trained to keep people talking so they can better guage the anesthesia’s effectiveness (and reduce anxiety, but we can see how that played out lol).
I’m sorry that something like this happened, in hindsight it would be something that would visit my brain just as I’m falling asleep as a fuck you from my subconscious. That said, though, there is reason to believe it was just very poorly informed small talk. Again, I’m sorry — that genuinely sounds creepy as fuck when it’s put together with hindsight.
The only time I’ve been put under was for my wisdom teeth removal, and I woke up in the middle of surgery. I distinctly remember opening my eyes and seeing blue, I guess they had something over my eyes. I also remember moving my head, but that was around the time I went back under. I woke up with extra stitches in my mouth and not a single person would address what I was saying. In hindsight I should have had my mom hire a lawyer and sued the shit out of them (I was 12, couldn’t really do it myself).
All of this to say: fuck anesthesia and anesthesiologists. They’re basically playing a guessing game between going to sleep forever and waking up during surgery.
8 times.
Human capacity never ceases to amaze me.

1·11 days agoI think if you examine the quality of the dialogue itself — yes it was rather boring. However, the reactive aspect was neat — a character remembering the thing you last said and using it to justify their position is good. Even if that position ends up being boring due to poor writing, it seems more dynamic and real — cuz people typically remember what you say.

4·11 days agoNope it’s just cheaper all around, OP explained as much in their reply.

5·11 days agoSo, you’ve fallen into a trap of your own making.
First, you didn’t wait for OP to respond. Had you waited, you’d see that 8 minutes ago they explained that it was in fact cheaper to have them repaired instead of replaced.
Second, you’re sitting here arguing for consumption vs repair and reuse. I can’t think of a more morally defunct argument than this, and I will gladly explain to you why.

2·12 days agoRight, hence my question — 65 character slots doesn’t really mean much if you’ll only ever have the time to play one.

145·12 days agoOdd, Firewatch was entirely forgettable for me — I don’t think I agree that it should have sparked a subgenre.
Should it be influential? Yes, I think the only thing they did a very good job with was the dialogue. Am I surprised there aren’t ‘Firewatch-likes’? No.
Avian dinosaurs certainly existed, it isn’t inaccurate to just call them dinosaurs.
Chickens actively hunt and eat mice, as well. I’ve actually seen one of my chickens find, slam around until dead (I fucking hope it was dead anyway), and swallow whole a mouse.
Brutal little creatures. They would 100% kill and eat you if they were big enough/ you were small enough.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Human experimentation, one way or the other.
2·13 days agoFuck, you made me laugh cough with that last bit.
I guess that’s true, I have actually mentioned it to a few of my coworkers – they all had a reaction that more or less spoke ‘there simply isn’t enough time for that’ lol.
Tangentially, there’s also this bilibili show called ling long reincarnation that, whether I’m stupid for liking it or not, is awesome. The thing about it is that I’ve always felt like there’s something lost in translation about the show, or there are themes that I’m simply unaware of due to… well an overall lack of knowledge about Chinese language and culture, I suppose.
Idk, full immersion would be best like you said — I just have no idea where I’d find that in California. I’m sure there are places, but then there’s the extra layer of somehow finding enough time to actually absorb the language through immersion. Perhaps I’ll just take up Spanish lol, I always did well in it in school and it’s close enough to English. I think it would probably be much easier to find people who speak Spanish here.

They’re a .mler — you didn’t provide sources that were Russian or Chinese so lol get wrecked.
