Agreed. The Doc, Moriarty and Vic Fontaine are definitely sentient beings but that doesn’t mean people who go into a holodeck to spar or to fuck are committing murder and sexual slavery.

Even the Doctor wasn’t adverse to using basic holodeck characters in the same way as the rest of the crew did. I doubt he’d even have a problem with what the Hirogen were doing if they weren’t specifically creating holograms who could experience fear and pain.

Fucking Cardie spoonheads. They totally fucked Bajor.

Shitification.

It means shitification.

“nationwide”

“England and Wales”

America is dead.

It’s possible she does want to be a friend but is worried you’ll read too much into it. It’s also possible she’s just using you as someone to talk to when she’s got no one else. Either could explain the mixed signals you seem to be getting.

I’d let her come to you. If a friendship organically happens then it does. If it doesn’t it doesn’t.

Why are the plushies on the left side on the right side and why are the plushies on the right on the left side?

There’s a video of one of the stormtroopers taking a handcuffed woman into a portable toilet. I’m assuming that’s what they’re talking about.

Hmm. There’s a guy at my work who has fully adopted AI. He has no issues with using it to write and happily consumes AI content.

I got him into Pluribus. And although he enjoyed it he couldn’t understand Carol’s hostility to the hive. When I pointed out we would gain utopia at the cost of human culture he just shrugged.

So you’d rather take a baby and throw it off a cliff?!?!?

It comes from the ancient Summerians (through the not-quite-as-ancient Babylonians) directly from their use of base 60 (for some things - they used 10 and 12 for others). So I think you’re good.

Shits and giggles.

*40,000+ years ago (potentially as long as 100,000+ years).

Cats were about 10,000 ya. We didn’t need cats until we had loads of harvested grains to protect from rodents.

PSA over.

And thus you have a deep psychological need to defend the barbaric practice.

It was a lollipop you bit down on and you could hear music played through your teeth.

When I was about 12 I started a short lived fad in my extended friend group of wearing headphones in your nostrils instead of your ears. If you turned them up high it sorta worked.

Enjoy them folks but remember, if you taste the abyss, the abyss also tastes you.

Very sound advice. To be honest, I’ve just entered my 40s and I’ve only just figured it out.

Having social phobia fucked me up in a few secondary ways and this is one of them - any conversation/relationship pretty much made me uncomfortable and it took me a long time to be able to separate normal conversations/relationships from the ones with people keen to take advantage of a meek, quiet person.

This is the first I’m hearing of Morphe. Just downloaded it and set it up. Took 10 mins. Faff level: minor. A couple more steps than I remember from Vanced.

I was able to login with my YT account and access my music playlist. I’ve been using Newpipe which is fine, but I’ve really missed that feature.

That’s a penis.
