Yes! The high stakes riverboat poker game was very memorable. Apparently, there are lots of side objectives to complete in the garden party too. I haven’t looked for them yet! Loving these posts, keep up the good work.

I wish

Yeah, why can’t he ignore the problems like us smart Stoics? Don’t think about it too hard, make brain sad UwU ~

Edit: Please excuse me, there was probably a less childish way to express my disappointment. Humans have feelings and judgments and the desire to use those faculties too. Denying these leads to both deep individual and systemic problems. Problems which, we are prepared in advance to be numb towards, and apparently that’s okay? I disagree. Hard pass. Thank you for coming to my dumb comment. Take care.

No I’m sorry, I’m just splitting hairs. You’re good.

Uhm… “Cognizance” can be revoked. Involuntary hospitalization is real. I lived it. It is allowed.

It’s entirely unprofitable to send a bill to a dead patient

No because they’re not wolves

That is such a [redacted] thing to do

Are “they” in the room with us right now?

This person is one-upping you only to prove to themselves that their experience was justified, by making yours unjustified. I get defensive when someone brings up a workplace I struggled with. I think the perspective of the person that put your experience down as “not-real” is attacking your experience out of defense. It’s rude and ugly, but the alternative is that “warehouses” are Not bad to work in, or that you are better at working a warehouse than they were. It might be emotionally painful to consider those alternatives, and it’s much easier to make younger workers feel overly entitled.

I own my brain because I’m human. Other animal brains, (whale, deer, cow, grasshopper, bird) are not owned by themselves, perhaps animals are simply incapable of comprehending our level of organization. That’s why we can make their decisions for them.

Sorry it’s just absolutely bizarre to me to think of a part of your body having different ownership than the other parts. Too atomistic. Are we renting out the space in our heads? If so, shouldn’t that be mitigated to prevent unnecessary damage?

I feel like Chicken Tonight like Chicken Tonight!

So this sucks for most users? Got it

is that better or worse?

President?

I have also seen this. It can be easier to control one’s appearance than to control unidentified problems. There’s a huge market for fashion & cosmetics, perhaps bigger than the education industry. All people have value regardless of appearance or ability, of course.

Creators don’t have to be all-knowing. Also, because believing this reality is a simulation does not change the rules we live by, there is no difference between the life of a sim-denier and sim-believer. It’s not as if you’d be punished just for [redacted].

Wow! I can understand that and it is also totally fascinating. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

Okay, fine, but what about non-hetero attraction and relationships? There’s an entire spectrum of human attraction and sexuality. I know there was an old study about a genetic factor that would increase the likelihood of, in this case, a male being attracted to other males, but I am confused as to how a germline could propagate a heritable factor that would result in no offspring. I am not an expert.
