R34 is also short for rule 34 - "if it exists, there's porn of it on the internet"

So if you search R34 and anything, you'll get porn.

I hear "KA-MA-LA" pretty clearly there, I really can't make it out as "lock him up".

Can you not tell the difference between memory and reality?

Don't get me wrong, it would be absolutely incredible having such perfect recall that memories are indistinguishable from the present, I just don't think that's a trait many humans naturally possess.

I think it's Norman Bates from Psycho.

Shark facts aside, the fact that Polaris is a ternary system, rather than a single star has completely blown my mind.

I'd be pretty surprised if this didn't have something to do with the Great Green Wall project, even if it's a knock on effect of that work.

This is the pic windows XP wishes it had on release

Monty Python isn't satire

This is from The Never Ending Story, Op's pic is from the Dark Crystal isn't it?

Or are you just adding this to the trauma pile?

That's my take on it too. It could just be natural selection - noisy, young Civs get eaten by the big bad space predator, while inherently quieter Civs survive.

So the universe could be full of life but it's the sort of life that doesn't attract attention.

There doesn't even have to be a "big bad" in this situation either, it could simply be that the sort of life that creates noisy Civs, is also the kind of life that ends up annihilating itself before it gets advanced enough to be able to make contact with others. That sort of crosses over into the Great Filter though.

It's a birria taco but your point still stands.

I think what you're asking about is called Archeological context.

The basic gist is that archeologists will be able to date not just the find itself, but the soil it's in and other potential finds within the same layer of soil/around the site.

So you're right, if you just found two Roman swords on a bench in the Cotswolds, you probably couldn't infer from that that the Roman military had definitely been present. But if you find them in a specific layer of soil along with other Roman artifacts, that starts to build up context around the find. The more evidence you collect, the better able you are to put a date on when the swords arrived at your site.

They're talking about pulling it open as in the pic, which makes it get cold, let's all the goodness fall out and ruins the dippiness imo.

But you do you, I'm not your abuella.

Essentially yes, it's called the Right to Erasure or the Right to be Forgotten. If the user is in a country that adheres to GDPR and the company controlling the data operates in a country that also uses GDPR, then that right applies.

The only reason Google/Gmail wouldnt delete (or wouldn't be able to delete) some of your data would be if they had a lawful or legitimate basis for holding onto it.

I can't think of a reason Google would give for hanging on to your data but that doesn't mean there isn't one, but they'd have to notify you of that reason as part of their response to your request.

:nods sadly:

"the end is close, I think"

Yeah, I was thinking the same tbh. All you can really say is whatever it is has 3 syllabuls, it's so muffled everything else is pareidolia.

One swing, ahead of the sword

What do we call videos on twitter at the moment?

I think the Jerboa icon is a Jerboa

What I'm getting at is that the way you're talking about the sequels is exactly the way people spoke about the prequels when they came out.

I hated the prequels when they came out, I still think they're basically unwatchable. But they weren't aimed at me, and a whole new generation of SW fans grew up with a deep fondness for them.

I expect we'll see the same thing with the sequels.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the beauty filters were directly inspired by autotune, given that the first (I think?) app was called facetune.

That sounds an awful lot like a portmanteau of facetime and autotune.

What does relatively soon mean Supergiant Games? WHAT DOES RELATIVELY SOON MEAN???

Me too buddy, me too... but they will, and I have hope that someone will find a way to do the same thing to the sequels that people have done to the prequels.

Edit: changed my wording

Does it have to be sign? What about a chat app?

Someone in 20 years: Say what you will about the sequels, at least they're not the threquels.

And that's Everything!

The burden of proof is on you there bud.

If you want to make extraordinary claims like "I came into your room and implanted your memories", then you're going to have to provide some evidence for that. I don't need to do anything.

You're also completely missing the point of the original post and my response. There was never any questions about whether memories are real, the question was whether the memory of a thing has the same value as the real time experience of a thing.

(Also, at least I've got a prosthetic brain, you're clearly still on the waiting list :p)

Uranus?

"German Ich" was right there!

ingredients to a recipe may well be subject to copyright, which is why food writers make sure their recipes are "unique" in some small way. Enough to make them different enough to avoid accusations of direct plagiarism.
