I worked in mind control before quitting. The company calculated that most advertising firms lost money relative to just randomly sending reminder sms’s to people about your product.

That said, there were able to do some absolutely heinous stuff based on the data that were harvested. Like determine if people were probably buying plane tickets for family events and charging them more (dunno if that ever shipped but was demonstrated in theoretical sims) .

not real btw. Look at the shadows of the handles at the front.

Very sad, at least my confusion reflex worked correctly. Nonetheless I am crushed.

If you find this upsetting you should see a dairy farm.

you know there’s a standard for the maximum amount of pus permissible in milk?

Are you sure about braindeath being a mental condition? My thoughts, confirmed by quick googling, was a medical-legal standard for death based on permanent death of the brain. As a person can otherwise be vegetative/comatosed or whatever, or like a liver can keep operating for a while etc.

As an insult I think it’s meant to be taken as “This is only explainable if you have no brain activity” not “you are like a living human with a different or damaged brain”.

Sister, I guess the ridiculous melodrama of my phrasing didn’t cue you into that I’m just teasing.

God I hate the internet, almost as much as I hate prescriptivists.

Language is simply the intrafrastructure by which we touch another’s mind across space and time. If the bridge holds who are you to critique the materials used to construct it? We speak in different ways, and yet we can all communicate. What makes one way superior to another?

It’s quite simple. One die can shape many blanks but each time a workpiece goes through a die it is drawn down and loses some mass.

Repeated cold working also tends to embrittle the workpiece, so without extensive annealing (foreplay) a penis will become brittle and snap off.

I would feel attacked but I’m too busy imagining what trekking through the pass of balthor with the heroes of agrinos would be like. Sharing in their trials as they head off the forces of darkness upon the scouring plains.

Fair, I mean similar stuff happens in aus but we’re literally a prison colony of uptight dibber dobbers without even town squares lest uprising be facilitated. I thought you were calibrated the other way, like firing rounds up into the air is peaceful and civic jubilation :p

Guess power is the same everywhere. I do wish the media parroted this stuff less. Normalising disruption = violence is how the remnants of our liberties die.

I’m not a usaian, and I don’t really care who did this or why but:

“All Americans have the right to peaceful protest, but ugly attacks like this have no place in our democracy,”

Isn’t this a peaceful prostest (factoring in here that the speaker almost certainly does not consider the insects harmed worthy of dignity and respect)? Obnoxious and weird sure but peaceful.
