accidentally as in the gas pump sprayed gasoline all over me and i got some on my hands and then later put my hand near my mouth before i'd washed my hands
Anno
sounds like a scene from anime did the gasoline dissolve your clothes except your panties?
Kirara 🦃
yeah i was with this guy that i have a crush on but he doesn't know because he's stupid and he saw my panties so i beat him up and put him in the hospital about it too
Rene
let's accidentally get into a gasoline drinking competition
So, I just did some reading and did some math and determined it would take me 22 days of straight reading to read 100,000 pages. Assuming I read at the same rate.
Hmm not really Our gun crime is practically non existant, so I would guess they are trinkets for the semi-legal biker gangs mostly without even looking to it and such
bang
well the one in the article is really well done
for a home-made weapon, it had to be done by someone who knows a lot about gunsmithing
>>347986 They used to find all this kind of shit in prisons when they had more easier and unrestricted access to metal workshops for example, the first gadget that cracked the famous Abloy locks, that are in essence unpickable, was invented in a prison workshop But yeah, these kinds of weapons like I said, are mostly just cool trinkets for biker gangs, I doubt they rarely even see usage. But nonetheless, since we don't have open carry or similiar stuff, it is much easier to make something like that for when a discussion between two gangs gets bit heated. A hammer doesn't attract that much attention and could be passed as a "fixing tool for the bike" on a random police check up. But a gun will always be found, practically. So if you do want to make sure you have the better tools for a heated argument, you kinda need to get inventive. Which is why about ever 5 years or so, the cops make these kinds of big confiscations that then cross the news-interest line. Usually, they also get some several hundred kg of drugs, illegal medicine, counterfeit bills and whatnots
Koi-
are you guys watching dynamic chord because holy shit
Basically, our mafia is biker gangs, tht operate semi-legally and even if huge parts of them get arrested, it doesn't warrant to bust up the whole chain and so on No guilty by association afterall. They mostly deal with Russian and eastern-european crime rings to smuggle in stuff and then deal it on the streets. Nothing that can be compared to the USA stuff, but still a problem nonetheless. Though it rarely affects any normal person. Biker gangs are smart enough to keep to themselves and keep their shadier deals between the shadier people THe moment they actually bust up stuff, they get busted up afterall
>>347994 Prolly Though downside is that you also need to be careful when bringing in suspects and such. Can't use too much force. anyhow "3 dead by cop" this year was statistical spike. Think about that.
But we do have our own swat teams and such when the situation calls for it, and those guys are the real deal. Operate on completely different rules than the normal street and patrol cops.
>>347994 Upside is respet from the citizens when you actually serve and protect, no one is around throwing shit at you and generally behave themselves when picked up. If you really are that intrested, just watch the finnish reality show "Poliisit" the police, which has a camera crew following finnish cop patrols during the night.
>>348009 I guess it is a good price? I don't buy merchandise so

>>348010 the posters are bigger than i thought and look nice so it actually might be a good deal the charms alone was like 40 but i got the full bundle
I'm pretty sure by marrying a commoner he is no longer in line for the throne and that his children also won't be. But I don't know the British royal family's succession rules.
Koi-
He is still in line
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>348021 Nah they switched it around few times just to allow this and few other things
Though I wonder how that would go in UK the royalty can't hold political positions if my memory serves. but that is just "the uk" DOes it affect them in foreign countries? So I guess technically, as there propably is no law to prevent it, the Crown-Prince of UK could become the president of the USA or even King of UK could become president of USA
I did it i definitely just made a deal with the devil
I am getting internet saturday
Kirara 🦃
it would be interesting to see
someone could probably sue them and have the court rule it's not possible there are rules about allegiances to other countries i believe and ruling another country is probably not going to work
I heavily doubt you could get elected as the PotUS, while being monarch of another nation, but >trump
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>348026 The crown of UK can be head of state of two nations legally and has already been and technically even now is head of state of england, scotland, wales and northern ireland
Kirara 🦃
yeah, but i'm not sure crown of UK can be president of the US i think there are rules against it
That is the "can't hold a political post" part royalty can't into parliament even a Lord can't enter into house of commons, and is only restricted to the House of Lords This is why Churchill family never became Lords of anykind, they wanted to keep in the politics as a dynasty
Hmm I think they could run and actually be a president of a foreign nation, if all it required was to enter the campaign, with adequate support. And if the legislation of that country allows it. BUt eventually atleast after their term, UK would most likely ban it.
Kirara 🦃
it looks like they wouldn't be able to be president unless they got congress' permission maybe or at least they'd need permission to be king/queen of another nation i think
Basically, UK law would technically allow it, and the real issue is the local law. USA would most likely not allow it due to clash of allegiances, right?
Kirara 🦃
it looks like it'd be possible under US law but very difficult i can't find anything that says it's not allowed under US law, but it looks like a US official can't hold a title of nobility in another country without the permission of congress so theoretically someone could get permission from congress to be both if they were elected, or maybe before they were elected?
or if they became king while serving as president, they could get permission
I am not sure how finnish law would treat such a case. I know of no cases in history where a monarch or heir apparent of another nation, ran in *for any political post in any country.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>348034 Well, with heir apparents, they already are nobility.
these things do not want to straighten let me tell you
Kirara 🦃
>>348036 yeah, but the rules against holding titles, the kids wouldn't be having an issue with having titles UNTIL they were elected once they're elected, they'd need permission from congress but there's no rule saying they can't BE elected while having a title
>>348038 Still would be an amusing thing to have a personal union of two countries, where one is monarchy by bloodline and at the sametime elected official there already is personal union of a monarchy and a democracy, namely andorra where president of france is both the duke of andorra and rpesident of france, but basically andorra there is an elective monarchy so not really the same thing.

kirara look at my shit and call me a nerd i need my fix

>>348040 it would be really interesting, wouldn't it?
i wonder if when the US was drafting the constitution if anyone was like, "what if this happens? wouldn't that be bad?" and someone probably replied "you know we have to hand-write this thing you fucking mong"
>>348042 More like was any country ever when draftin constitution thinking that could happen... WEll Austria did something like that post-ww1, with the sillyburgs
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I don't know is it "all nobility" or just habsburgs but they atleast, are banned from ever entering positions in austrian society, namely politics, that could influence the nation's destiny Does include military too, though
Kirara 🦃
>>348043 i'm sure a lot of countries just dismissed it if it ever came up "our citizens would never be so stupid"
in the US, the founding fathers intended for only property owners to vote haha so they figured that property owners would be smart enough to vote for their interests (which they technically do, through lobbying, etc) but since anyone can vote now, the poor people can still exert their will to some extent so i guess it's possible that we could manage to elect a prince
>>348061 No idea how that would be counted here I guess if you did go pre-vote and then kicked the bucket day after it would be accepted?
FormerRei@mobile
Anyways dead people in cook county have been voting for years. *Crook County
Koi-
I mean, you'd have to go and find out if they're still alive on the day, which is extraordinary work for something that gets counted and finalized within a couple of hours

and if you make it so that you have to confirm your continued existence on the day then, what was the point of the absentee

Huh Apparently as of 2014, over 10% of Floridians were ineligible to vote due to felony disenfranchisement.
>>348066 >over 10% of floridians were felons no way

it's not really a surprising number given that america makes everything illegal
Maria
wtf why are Australians even allowed to vote they're all criminals
Kirara 🦃
>In 2016 an estimated 6.1 million people in the United States (2.5% of the nation's voting age population, excluding DC) could not vote due to a felony conviction - an increase of 4.2% from the 2010 total of 5.85 million and the highest number since at least 1960.
>>348122 I'm super happy to be done with the day and am now relaxing and happy.
>>348123 I don't think any of them are terribly good choices, they all have one feature or another that I dislike. I guess if I had to choose it would be middle.
>>348139 Oh, I love trips like that. You get to have lots of fun and still be productive.
I want to go somewhere, but I didn't plan anything because I wasn't expecting to have money. All of the things I love to do are outside, though, so Winter is hard to travel.
>>348140 I get all my travel costs paid, too. And get paid for the time driving and whatnot. Still, I'm a home body and prefer to be home. Sleeping in my own bed every night is one of those things I have a very strong preference for.
Yeah it's not a trip until you've spent an overnight in an airport because you mixed up your flight's departure time like some kind of scrambleheaded buffoon
Anno
Or until you're sitting next to your departure gate, growing more and more despondent as you see the other friends leaving on flights that day get on their planes and go offline, knowing you're going to be the last one out, hitting the proverbial lights.
Man I want to go travelling again. Nothing else really compares.
>>348140 just go north enough that there is snow, and then a whole lot of opportunities open like downhill skii-ing, falling into ice waters and dying of frost
Anno
That's kind of like what my dad did when he was first looking where he might buy a cottage. He started driving, drove for as long as he felt he could drive without losing it, then started looking for cottage lots nearby.
I don't have enough time to risk getting snowed in.
My timeframes are December 19-23 or December 27-January 6. I'll probably just drive somewhere randomly and see where I end up. That sounds like something fun to do with a girlfriend that suffers from lots of anxiety.
>>348146 It's totally a trip! If I don't get to sleep in my bed at night, it's a trip. Actually let me rephrase that If my bed is too far away for me to sleep in at night, it's a trip.
I've been thinking of getting a n insulated carafe I can keep at my desk. I usually make whole pots of tea in the volume of around 1.7L and drink it over a few hours. So after about halfway through the tea's gone pretty cold and I have to put it in the microwave if I want it warm again. Having something to keep it hot -- and additionally near my desk instead of the kitchen -- would be a blessing.
bang
>>348157 oWo >>348158 i'm having a very very comfy day with rolled tobacco and green tea >>348159 no but hi how are you >>348162 yes
I walked past my mother talking with my sister over speaker phone and it sounds like my sister is in some kind of drama with another person she knows. Again. And as I was going past I could hear my sister say "why don't you ever just believe me?" All I could think was "there are a LOT of reasons to not ever just believe you."
I really don't know how to beat Hob. I thought this was a game where you could play through and then go back and find new things you didn't see the first time but I feel like I'm searching for a ton of shit. If I 100% this game in the first playthrough it would be because I was so lost but whatever. Maybe I should start Nier and see if it even runs on this computer
Even though I've been told to relax and take it easy a hundred times a day for the last week and a half, someone has been putting in a lot of effort to keep me from sleeping properly.
FormerRei@mobile
>>348286 Also nasuverse lore wise the power of caliburn was said to have made her "a dragon in human form"
>>348300 I hope I don't have to maintain them for long. idk why it's been like this

>>348302 Probably not worth your time to go back and finish it. I only watched it because back in the day, it was the only fate anime we had. And the vn hadn't even been completely translated yet.
>>348319 I'm glad that she's feeling genki. She's just not usually so genki so it's taking some getting used to. She's been more confident lately, too.
Looks like we have to roll if we want that new ice queen. Not the best gachas!
>>348320 I thought the new girl was free? Oh well. I actually don't really need any more good spear units. I'm still dumping all my orbs trying to get Mia. After that banner, I'll probably save for awhile.
Yeah, I think Fish has been getting better recently.
I'm talking about the last week and a half, not just tonight. I slept for ten hours because she slept for an hour longer than me and fell asleep when I did.
>>348339 I get to resign myself to the unfortunate fate of being worn down by my girlfriend and get to act like everything is out of my power when I'm actually just shirking my responsibilities so it seems like a solid plan to me.
>>348368 Still seems super to me! That's beyond the capabilities of a regular volunteer. You even said it yourself, people are stupid and you had to fix their problems! That sounds like a super volunteer.
>>348382 It's pretty funny! Your immediate reaction to it is what made it interesting. It was really just me going with a dangnanronpa meme since every character in it has a title like "super detective".

vicodin's the worst i wouldn't take it even if i wanted a pain pill it just sucks all around i can get a little kick from percocet but vicodin just sucks i'd rather take a valerian root or something to relax the nervous system so that pain isn't as distracting than something that's going to make the pain hurt worse in three hours and make me nauseous until then
Samu 💪 !KW2DbpWwls
everyone has been warning me not to take it

if you're convicted of assault, you shouldn't get to go free for pocket change just because you're rich and white a black person does that shit and they get like 20 years of jail and $10000 fine (hyperbole)
Also when I read the back of tthe book I thought "Wait, isn't that just A Spell for Chameleon" (which actually came after) But when I first heard of "A Certain Magical Index" I also thought "Isn't that just a spell for chameleon"

E/H theory is a branch of psychotherapy that focuses entirely on the individual client and their own subjective experiences. A big part of it is enabling the client to feel empowered to make decisions and accept responsibility for their choices in life as well as dealing with existential fears such as existential anxiety or the dread of death. It's my favorite kind of therapy and probably what I'll be doing mainly.
yup I hmm "brightened" it today basically, drained the vessel dry into othe containers and then gave it a wash and thus got rid of excess yeasts in the bottom haha, with top brewing yeast you could just pick them up with a net or something, but bottom brewers need to do this once or twice depending what you make I am aiming to bottle this thrusday-saturday axis so monday sunday atmost earliest when first bottle be ready for drinking >>348679 my own mead recipe
In case you wanna try it out about 2kg of honey 1 kg of syrup (not maple) and about 2kg of plain white sugar and then 500g of brown sugar the syrup and brown sugar can be replaced with more honey, but I like the after taste they give and the lovely brown colour in the finished product and then just use any yeast, but not a turbo yeast, those suck. *dry yeast
>>348679 According to some, a fear of death is the most base anxiety people have and the primary motivator for most things human do. humans do* We try to avoid the existential dread of knowing that we will one day become nothing.
Yeah, most therapy should but most therapy is based on generalizations rather than tailored to the person. For example, Freudian shit assumes that there are underlying meanings in people that are generalizable to all humans, so if x means y for someone, then x will mean y for everyone, according to that theory. And stuff like CBT is based on stuff that works for most people. It's generally behavioral stuff that works until it doesn't (frequently clients don't comply with CBT because CBT can't address all their problems)
E/H is my favorite because I'm obsessed with autonomy and I think autonomy is one of the most important things people have. E/H is all about enabling people to use their autonomy.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>348684 1x11g gram pack for about 2-3 weeks of brewing time 2x11g for about 1-1,5 week, but bit less mature taste, which i went with this time
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also a lot more "doughnuty" taste the more yeast you add, if it is just basic baking yeast
>>348685 But I'm not gonna become nothing, I'm gonna be immortal So regular therapy is more like 'this is how you live with this' and this is more like 'this is how you learn to take actions and act on your own'
>>348691 More or less, yeah. Most therapies teach you how to deal with things and become comfortable with the suffering or whatever, although CBT is able to actually eliminate some things. For example, CBT is generally very effective at dealing with phobias and basic depression. But that's because those problems are more "surface level" issues that are either mostly behavioral or chemical in nature.
CBT isn't going to help you deal with a fear of commitment, a feeling of emptiness, or anything like that. It's not going to help you grow past your traumas, it's just going to teach you to deal with your traumas better.
In my opinion, CBT is like a band-aid. Sometimes a band-aid is good enough, but frequently, it's not.
Also dogs are kinda shit in that way, since they do require a care taker even for a short leave cat can easily stay 2 nights on their own with them just being agnry as fuck at you on arrival

>>348706 We weren't going to but there were last minute changes in my mom's work schedule that require it
FormerRei@mobile
Also if we had more notice we could have hired someone to walk her.
>>348713 My opinion is that therapists need to be able to give advice, but they can't tell someone what they should do. Giving someone answers not only robs them of their autonomy but it also risks /// also puts them at risk of getting worse. I think that my job as a therapist is to provide the tools and guidance someone needs to solve their own problems and to make positive changes in their life of their own free will.

My parents bought me a cheap iron because they broke the one that I gave them and needed to use the new one I got for myself. Well, they broke the one that they TOOK from me so I bought MYSELF a new one and then they broke the first and used my second and then they gave me a cheap third one.
I might just get the Amazon's Choice one, but it's $40 and I'm not sure I want to spend that on an iron even though I'm going to be ironing more than once a week for the next few years.

>On Friday, he said the procedure between corpses proved that the procedure had been a success, and that he and his team would next try the procedure on two brain-dead organ donors before eventually attempting a similar surgery on someone paralysed from the neck down. >The surgeon envisions a future in which healthy people could opt for full-body transplants as a way to live longer, eventually even putting their heads on clone bodies. >Canavero also said he hopes the procedure will "create a near death experience - actually a full death experience - and see what comes next." >"Electricity has the power to speed up regrowth! Bing bang bong you have the solution" to spinal cord fusion, Canavero said. oh my fuck

>In the first of these experiments, Canavero claimed to have severed then reconnected the spinal cord of a dog. Less than a year later, he published a paper detailing how he created a series of two-headed rodents. In June 2017, the surgeon said he'd severed the spinal cords of a group of mice and then reattached them using polyethylene glycol. this guy is literally a mad scientist
>He said at the time that he would soon complete this transplant procedure with two humans — a Chinese national who remains anonymous and a brain-dead organ donor. The head of the former would be attached to the body of the latter, he claimed.
By 2020, we'll all be living in fear of the body snatchers.
Rich people will just be buying black market bodies so they can be young again. The poor will become cattle! It'll be like Get Out but with head transplants!
I read some of the docs where he goes more into detail on his procedures and his plan only calls for attempting to re-attach 15% or so of the total nerves. His reaction to the 75% of so was more or less "oh, you have a lot of nerves so it's not a big deal".
FormerRei@mobile
You guys ever hear about organ/tissue rejection?
FormerRei@mobile
Cause that will still be an issue with this stuff.
I really kind of doubt that he's anywhere close. All of the head-swapping experiments I've heard about have ended in complete paralysis and pretty swift death.
Well, there was an experiment with rats or something where they did something like that and the rat lived for like a week before it got sick and died. They really didn't get around the paralysis though, they just linked the circulatory system and whatnot and the paralyzed rat lived for a little while.
He claims that he's created a series of two-headed rats that have been able to live and survive and stuff. He claims that he completely severed a dog's spinal cord and then fixed it and the dog was fine, too.
This guy is fucking nuts.
FormerRei@mobile
Plenty of fucking nuts doctors have gotten the nobel prize in medicine though.
I wonder if he's going to be charged with murder after the people die.
>>349058 He says that head transplants are the key to immortality. He said his ultimate goal is to have clone farms so people can just stick their heads on clone bodies and live forever (apparently ignoring that the brain won't live forever)
FormerRei@mobile
Well I think he has a good head start on the competition he has in immortality research.
I;m just saying, whenever you see neurotic obsession like this, it's because it's somebody's fetish.
FormerRei@mobile
>>349064 You keep saying stuff like that. Would you say the samething about a scientist in a different field who does a bunch of experiments and research about the same or related things over and over again?
Well, great works of art have been created just because guys wanted to touch [stone] boobs.
But this guy's obsession with doing something completely crackpot that nobody really asked for and really isn't even thought through completely with neurotic fervor makes me think fetish.
FormerRei@mobile
So would you say that Edison had an electricity fetish because he did a ton of stuff with it? >>349069 >that no one ever asked for What about all the people who have shit like MS or other degenerative diseases? This while not providing a complete cure does at the very least offer potential for life extension.
>>349070 Considering that the sources of those degenertive diseases is the brain, head transplants aren't going to help much.
FormerRei@mobile
>>349074 Yeah except for the fact that you are wrong that's completely correct. Muscular dystrophy for example >>349077 What about all of the ones caused by genetic issues that cause proteins to not be made properly?
>>349075 I happen to know quite a bit about degenerative diseases, actually. Some of them are still kind of mysteries to us, but the majority of them go back to the brain being messed up.
>>349075 The more common mainstays of what we think of as degenerative diseases are things like MS and ALS, although I'm of the opinion that ALS covers what is probably a group of similar degenerative conditions with similar causes and symptoms. Those are most definitely brain issues. Muscular dystrophy has some interactions with the brain too, though. Again, it's a condition that has a great deal of diversity in how it's expressed, too.
Well, whether someone asked for it or not, if you could actually do it that's... quite something. And whether it can actually fix anything would be quite another something.
FormerRei@mobile
Just wondering but how much do you guys know about molecular biology? Cause I feel we aren't quite clicking in this discussion.
>>349088 Yeah, but it really has very little to do with degenerative diseases. Really, you're just kind of focusing on a single degenerative disease that kinda works for you here because you know it's a complete lost cause to focus on the category as a whole to try to argue that they aren't brain problems.
If you want a condition that head transplat would probably help with, there are a myriad of other conditions you could focus on.
FormerRei@mobile
>>349090 I think you highly overestimate the control that the brain has over the human body. In terms of cellular issues across the entire body.

We won't stop until christmas is fucking dead and buried For good
>>349113 I said you were trying to move the goalposts, as you were. As we went through a minute ago, the majority of degenrative diseases are brain problems and you don't deny that.
Maria
Rei I'm sure you can come up with other uses for head transplants instead of continuing this argument
And more importantly, moving the goalposts is one of my evil little tricks. I don't let other people move the goalposts unless they're moving them to the place I want them to be.
>>349129 You mean like how it was originally a discussion about the possible usefulness of head transplants and the powerful utility of experimental science and then moved into whether or not a degenerative disease is caused by the brain?
>>349135 I guess it would be more proper to say that "That's where I expected it to go because that's where it sounded like it was heading and then the value of it got immediately sidetracked. >>349136 I did. With good reason. >>349140 Moving goalposts is very natural but honestly it happened within the span of three posts and four sentences so my interest in discussing the power of explorative science immediately vanished.
It was like >Discussing the uses >Someone says x is a use >Someone disagrees >Discussion on whether x is true ensues It's a natural flow of discussion.
Moving the goalposts is when you try to drag the issue beyond where it should have ended. Like hyperfocusing on a single facet of the discussion where you're relatively strong and trying to ignore the stuff that isn't so good for you.
>>349144 You whine about goal post moving whenever I find a specific counter example. Which is not moving the goal posts It's still in betwern them For lack of a better analogy.

My friend really likes "Switched on Bach" According to him a bunch of people cried when they first heard it being one of the early electronic pieces
>>349147 It's totally moving the goalposts. I scored a point and won the game and got showered in expensive champagne when we were at the part about most degenerative diseases being brain problems.
>>349266 I think the last time that happened was when I had to put on my moderator tag because of that one undesirable. I can't remember his name though.
>>349305 Rook and Eggmun are the only two people I remember as a part of it. And Egg would DJ because he DJs on Tuesdays and I wanted him to DJ for my birthday.
