>>521200 This is actually a good fucking question why isn't there a native american month or at least a week Native Americans got shit on far harder than asians or indians and it's their native country They could probably do with a month
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also where is the "native american month" or "indian month" or "asian month"
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>521199 you are missing the point why th fuck is there a black month or pride month nowadays
Kirara 🚗
>>521198 that's because whites and straight people get literally every month
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
both are just breeding division
Anno
There were Asian recognition months going on at my high school. Or something along those lines. I don't know if it was a particular thing to the school or part of the school board. Don't know if they're still going on since I checked out of the school after I graduated.
Kirara 🚗
black history month and pride month are fuckin awesome if straight white people are mad about it they can fuck off, they get literally every other month and like, every fuckin movie, and anything they basically want like straight white people that are cis get to play trans people in movies and shit
pride started as a protest against police brutality towards lgbtq people and it grew into a month because lgbtq people want to be heard and they want to have fun and be loud
TN !PcAPtAiNJo

well yeah but i don't expect straight white people to get it or anything
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
you are a straight white person
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also when pridem ovement began it was lgbt not lgbtq
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
though nowadays it is lgbtqklöasdfjasdö+

lgbt has always been lgbtq lgb and t are all q
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
no lgbt has been in use since 70s or 80s it isn't untill late 90s that the q came into it
Kirara 🚗
yes, people started saying the q later, but it was always queer
i went to an lgbtq thing in san francisco with my ex, their sister, and their sister's boyfriend like, through an active avenue of lbgtq traffic on pride weekend rather, not specifically to be there for it they were all so distressed by it i thought it was amazing
Kirara 🚗
im gonna do stuff for the pride parade here this year, it's gonna be awesome
my ex ultimately broke up with me for being bisexual thinking that it meant i was unhappy with the relationship if i was unhappy with it i wouldn't have kept with it for six years
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
kylo would fit fucking well the bloody cuck he is
Kirara 🚗

>>521227 yeah they didnt get it like, "how are you still attracted to your own gender when you're with me, does that mean ..." and so forth it was really upsetting it was the beginning of the end at that point imo but now they're living in san francisco??? so i can't help but imagine they've been forced to better understand it now
>>521233 well the community has come a long way in a short time even though it was just 2012 vs 2016/2017, public perception changed a lot i couldn't even openly identify at my high school a decade ago now it's so much more welcome

i wish the community support was there when i was a teenager i turned out so fucked up from the amount of shit i had to eat for being different
Kirara 🚗
the best thing you can do to someone who is different is to convince them they're confused and eventually they'll stop being different just gaslight them for years until they stop being lbgt
>>521242 i think it makes sense, though i'm not sure if the way that it would make sense is congruent with the way that is used
things which aren't inherently or intentionally aggressive standalone, but through communal adoption make a hostile ecosystem/environment
not direct personalized aggression, but subtle, pointed aggression against ideals and sentiment which ultimately stifle them out through opposition, probably not consciously but just as a matter of comfort it makes enough sense to me, and maybe i'm just adopting the word to refer to something it isn't meant to mean but whatever that particular thing is

kouhai is on a week long trip and won't be back until tuesday i start my second job on monday and my free time is basically forfeit after that i had to borrow money to make rent because of two weeks being unemployed my roommate or my little brother (not sure which) broke my $200 sennheiser headphones, one of my most prized possesions i live in a constant state of passive frustration that my license won't be valid until october i don't think there's really any greater meaning for me to latch on to right now and it's draining my motivation to live
b b b b b ang
pick any 4 of those things and i'd probably still be completely fine but all in the same week and it's like "fuck dude i'm sad"
Anno
Yeah I can get that. Tuesday's only a few days off though. Patience will remedy that before long.
I'd be pretty steamed if someone broke my Senns too. I've done so much damage to them myself, sure, but they still work. Replacing them's wouldn't really be an option for me at this time either and I'd be pretty frustrated if I lost them.
>>521330 yeah that's a pretty shitty week At least she'll come back on Tuesday So that problem solves itself
Borrowing for rent sounds like it'd induce some anxiety but you've got that work starting up soon so you'll be able to pay it back soon right Can't do much about the sennheisers and having to go without good headphones when you like music so much must be shitty. But at least those can be eventually replaced can't they? Is it possible your room mate or bro would fess up and replace them?
b b b b b ang
kouhai being gone is the most whatever of those i'm still really happy for her, she's having a really fun time and seeing special people who are important to her that she almost never sees it just so happens to be a week i'm feeling particularly emotionally needy but like you said that solves itself
starting my second job would be the most anxiety-inducing of those if it weren't for the fact that i'm pretty sure i'm going to quit that job as soon as my THIRD job starts i just passed the interview for my third job a few days ago so i won't start that for a couple of weeks
borrowing money sucks because i already owe my mom a couple grand but i guess i already owe her a couple grand so what's a few hundredo n that i'm about to make fat two-job money anyways
this is when we get to the REALLY fun ones
my sennheisers are really important to me if i had to grab 5 things and run out the door, it'd be pants, shirt, wallet, ak47, and my sennheisers i mean whatever, i have these 20 dollar sony headphones and my friend (who initally bought them for me as a birthday gift in 2013) says that he might be able to solder them if they can't be sent back for repairs under warranty solder the sennheisers, i mean
nothing can solve the license thing, just time that one fucking SUCKS the last one is just me being a bitch but that doesn't make it any less depressing
b b b b b ang
>>521337 >>521336 the thing about the senns it's like if this happened two months ago, whatever i buy new ones if this happened two months from now, whatever i buy new ones if this happens when i'm so broke i'm borrowing money for rent and groceries....
my brother was trying to talk to my roommate about splitting the cost of new ones 50/50 but my roommate is unemployed and broke too
hopefully my boy benny can get them repaired under warranty or solder them himself but we'll see
they don't even make 558 HDs anymore i don't think they're $217 on amazon
Anno
When it rains, it always seems to fucking pour, eh.
Anno
If they're under warranty, Senn might replace them with an equal value model too. I don't really know their customer service since I always break mine outside of warranty.

>>521198 >what about white month Italian American: October Greek-Am: March Irish-Am: March French-Am:July Germanic-Am: Sept 15-Oct 15 just like Hispanic-Am
To summarize, they exist. White people just don't give a fuck about them when they come because they're just being reactionary. They don't care to celebrate their culture, they're bothered that other people celebrate theirs loudly.
I, however, am all for a "White" history month, where we examine the history of race from the creation of the concept and all the things that happened because of it. I don't think white people would enjoy a white history month though.
i like it a lot it's pretty cool i just got the team that moves enemies around and barely does damage with the useless push rockets that you have to upgrade to not harm buildings before you can actually use it
>>521508 >I don't think white people would enjoy a white history month though. they'd literally just circlejerk about how white people invented everything good in the world especially things that people of color invented they'd ignore the thousands of years of murder and destruction
nobody really does much for it because jewish history is literally just jews going from country to country, trying to find somewhere that will allow them to exist, and occasionally surviving genocides
Sounds like a lot >>521511 I'd love to construct it though. The White History Month. I remember the idea from long ago about making a Kickstarter to have a video series explore different things in "White culture" every day of a month. But have all the people in the KS be positive white people. And after it gets funded, it's just a bunch of minorities like "Okay, so today we're going to talk about the Trail of Tears"

>>521508 i dont think white people care about a white history month because it's too vague and nonrelatable i think german or scottish or english or irish appreciation of culture would probably go far within each sector but really each white group doesn't particularly want to be clumped with the others
i dont really think a hispanic month works so well either for the same reason hispanic culture is overly granular there's no way to broadly express it without being inclusionary of many groups to whom it's marginalizing to be clumped with larger hispanic mainstreams like the dominicans for instance their culture is so internal and rich, and it's a very influential staple of hispanic culture, but it's very different

TN !PcAPtAiNJo
feels like it is almost racist as a concept to just clunk all asian cultures into one month
月
>>521575 asian cultures have a history of aggressively ignoring each other though, as opposed to the central american countries which are entrenched with each other so deeply so i would see the asian cultures just doing their own thing independently there
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
how do you even define asian indians and pakistanis and iranians for example are in asia but you don't think of them as "asian" usually
月
asian ethnicity tends to refer to east asians, southeast asians, and pacific islanders it's not a continental reference
月
at the risk of showing my ignorance or sayin somethin stupid, black americans prolly have the most solidarity to be celebrating their achievements as a whole collective, compared to the sprawling different cultures of white or hispanic groups prolly makes the most sense to have a black history month in that regard and other cultures just get particular days youve got the dominican day parade, saint patty's day, cinco de mayo, i guess oktoberfest is a lot more than a day but still stuff that's just organic
Well, if they wanted to do all those things regarding separation, they can. These aren't things etched into the weather or anything. I hardly hear about any of these other months. Maybe they do things silently, maybe not at all. As far as the internet can tell me, they have a month for it.
i had a dream that i was in mongolia and testifying in court as a language expert to analyze and give a statement about a document they wanted me to prove that this mongolian language transcript was evidence as criminal activity and they wanted to use it to put a friend of mine away for a long time so i had to weasel in some talk about linguistic entropy and how the mongolian language is so beautiful and articulate but that its structuring is fundamentally untranslatable into english which is a much cruder language and unable to house such complexities, so it couldn't be determined what was meant by the translation and the mongolian ministries were there and they just soaked up all the praise about mongolian nationalism so they accepted my testimony

so, my phone is just a brick right now won't power on, won't even boot loop or access the restore settings i need a new phone
can i just buy a new phone on amazon, have it delivered, and activate service from that? do i need to go to a service center and have them do something? there's definitely a way i can just switch to that phone myself and not have to go out into the public world, right?
Anno
>>521791 From what I have experienced. I can take out the sim, go to the website of the service I used and said I want keep my old phone number. it takes a few minutes of the sim being in the new phone and it works.
But thats a English sim. I had get a new phone and I had to get a new sim but keep my number so I got a new sim and the website let me transfer my number over
Depends on your plan. It would probably be best to go to the phone store and you can probably get it cheaper that way. I see now that you don't want to, though. I don't know how to do it without going to the phone store.
>>521790 Well you just can't do the stuff the sun does.
i do need to, like, buy a phone that's manufactured for that service provider though right? like they come pre-designated for the service provider unless i pay more for an unlocked one? >>521797 do i just plop the sim in and it's good to go or do i have to like activate it with the phone's serial number or something how do i even get the sim card out it does not seem possible it seems like they dont want you to be able to do that
You can buy an unlocked phone online, which will work with a SIM from anyone.
You can usually just plop the SIM in, but sometimes you do have to go to the store. AT&T will make you go to a store for activation.
What kind of phone do you have? You should be able to get the SIM out. You may be able to order a new phone from your provider's website, and they'd send a phone and new SIM. You'd have to call a number and respond to some robo prompts to activate it.
Anno
What your provider?

I've never had to go in a store but my experience isn't useful because I've only used a single provider in the UK. where everything is online and doesn't have a store

thank you for the help! idk i'm really bad at making decisions i dont know whether i should just get a replacement g4 and stay minimal or waste money to just get a contract plan with a good phone (doing per-month non contract billing now)
i really want a mattress and/or a chair so i don't want to waste the money i worked hard to save on somethin that'll just end up breakin in a few years anyway and just get a replacement temporarily instead
Anno
They have a sim card thing https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tutorial.html#!/interactive/id/interactive_1500004093?make=LG&model=G4H810
I think its the same model you are taking about LG G4?
Anno
>>521802 If it helps. I don't get a monthly because I rarely use my phone for heavy use, so I control how much money I put on it, it might cheaper for contract if you use it a lot. I use a pay as you go sim and just put money on when I want. I only replace my phone when it breaks.
Anno
I kind of regret getting my current phone because I realised you can't remove the battery - I don't know how common that is now because I rarely replace my phone but if the battery dies I hate that I have to replace the whole phone instead of getting a new battery
Anno
Sealed in batteries have become more commonplace. It can be rough to find a phone that doesn't have one like that. There's an argument for them, since it can help prevent water damage to the phone if you don't have parts like that can be opened up. Of course plenty of people will tell you it's only to let the manufacturers move more phones.
Anno
Fuck I split my nail testing if could remove the back cover my phone.
Anno
>>521806 I keep being told its built in obsolescence
Anno
I would be inclined to disagree that it's just that. The reality I see most feasible is they were designing the phone and realized "hey, we can improve the waterproofing on the phone AND contribute to planned obsolescence".
Really though, bar manufacturing errors, most phones have pretty decent batteries in this day and age. If you're not stupid about overcharging the battery, you can keep your phone for a good four or five years at least without the battery dropping into "annoyingly low max charge" territory. And warranties will usually cover the manufacturing errors that result in an early dead battery. i think you probably don't have to be worried about replacing your phone because of a weak battery anytime soon.
Anno
I really feel for you moon, I hate having to spend money on something when I want to save for other things. I feel really shitty when something has to be replaced
月
thank you, sorry, i was just venting a bit it's not a major drama that needs empathy or anything sorry for overemphasizing it really just wanted to know whether i can just buy a new phone and have it shipped so i dont have to go do things in public i can do that but it causes such high anxiety on me and even if it's just a 30-minute thing, it drains my whole day's energy and i can't do anything else it's so overstimulating to be in public and doing errands
月
and i'm really indecisive in general so being in an overstimulated situations and having to make decisions often ends in poor decisions being made because i'm anxious and can't think straight i've become such a hikki
Anno
I didn't mean to dramatise it, It just struck a chord with me because I don't like going to stores and dealing with people no matter how quick and short it is. and spending money when you don't have a lot is stressful too. I wish I knew more about american phones to help you a bit more but I basically picked my phone online had it ordered and picked a service provider who were entirely online so I could everything from my room and that it was cheap too of course Your a lot like me in these circumstances.
i don't really like to go do shit where i have to interact with strangers unless it's like an activist thing
月
the worst part is, yeah, i could go to an AT&T store and check their options but i wouldn't even be able to cross-reference from my phone to see what cheaper prices i could get the same devices for online
phone stores are especially a pain point because, for some reason, they're always freaking packed with the worst kind of people people who obsess over their phone and are doin like four conversations while checking out new wares and the people who work at them tend to be really... i dont know the word they think everyone loves technology as much as them but the only technology they know is commercial communication devices
i've never had a pleasant experience at one of those stores, and i've very many times had experiences i would describe as moderately to severely unpleasant
For me the pressure selling of goods is unpleasant, I don't want to deal with someone questioning everything I ask. Just give me a phone, give me a sim and tell me what I need to know and let me leave I don't want to have to turn down deal after deal and be persuaded about models of phones

i kinda want to go but idk how much i trust her like i can trust her not to get me killed and stuff and she'd be a good backpacking companion but idk if i trust her to keep /// watch my back
Anno
Yeah, I can see that. There's some people that I'd rather go on my lonesome than go with them.
i like her, i wouldn't mind doing it with her really but i have these ptsd safety things and like idk how to explain it, someone like jan, i can trust him to have my back no matter what like if bullets are flying, i know he's going to be there with me and i feel like together, we could make it out of almost anything if im in another country for the first time, backpacking, i need it to be with someone i have that kind of connection with to feel safe
Anno
I've been around you long enough to get that. But I definitely don't have the PTSD-induced safety concerns, even if I can empathize on a paranoia level kinda. But on a travel partner level the only limit to my comfort of being with them is whether or not I can handle being with them. Drawing a parallel between stuff I experience and stuff other people experience is how I handle understanding other people's perception about things because I've long since given up on "oh I'm the exact same way" being immediately available.
I guess I might feel comfortable if I knew more what she was capable of She wanted me to start going to Synagogue with her maybe i should take her up on that
some people can change personalities drastically when they're travelling, i wouldn't want to go to another country with anyone but a really close friend or a signifigant other not for safety concerns or that typa stuff, but because people can become asshats when they're in new circumstances
Anno
Something like backpacking or a trip where I'm closely involved with other people, I think I'd be pretty choosy on who I travel with. But I'm comfortable travelling with relative strangers. When I was travelling in Japan, I spent a lot of time with people I had barely even interacted with online and never in person before. It might have risked being pretty awful but it turned out all right. For every person who's miserable while travelling, I'd like to bank on there being at least one who's still an enthusiastic and enjoyable person.
月
>>521841 when it's a group it's kinda different because you're all there for kind of the same reason and there's some social buffer and you met them through the travel directly it's a little different to agree with a stranger to go on a trip with them like when i was roadtripping, i knew doc lived in vegas (i didnt know him well at the time) so im just like, "Hey you live in vegas wanna hang out when i pass through" and it was pretty cool but i wouldn't have been like, "hey im takin a road trip want me to pick you up in vegas on my way to california"
i did ask noy that though when i was p drunk because i was going to a conference in the area and got a deservedly unpleasant response though haha
Anno
Well that sounds a little similar to what I meant talking about being closely involved. Though yeah, being in a group helps intrinsically dilute it. I don't think I'd roadtrip, at least a road trip that's more than just a half-day of driving, or backpack with someone I wasn't already closely familiar with.

>>521849 What do you mean? The first trimester of pregnancy isn't that difficult. There is some occasional feelings of sickness, but generally, it's not problematic. And I don't have a high expectation that Fish will be home by August.
Maria
>>521850 isn't it hard carrying a baby around? Doesn't it involve a lot of emotional stress I'm not a pregnancy expert Huh maybe it's not an issue then
>>521851 in, like, the last trimester, yeah and towards the end of the second but it's not emotionally stressful for most of it I mean, it can be, depending on environmental factors.
Me being away for like a week wouldn't be an issue, probably. I don't really want to be away from her, though.

But seriously gardening and farming will eventually accidentally breed a so powerful and fast spreadinf weed, that it will consume the globe
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
forexample a dandelion that also spreads by root sprouts that would be a nightmare nettle is already a nightmare to get ridoff or this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equisetum_arvense it takes root in your yard, only way to get rid off it is to dig up 1-2metres of soil and replace it
Kirara 🚗
can't wait for plants that just plant their seeds under the skin and just turn all life into plant food
But honestly speaking, there is a reason why such plants don't exist only things that do spread to living organism and use them as either outright "growing platform" or also "means to spread" are fungi plants are too complicated for them to evolve naturally atleast like that
Jails are cages and movable jails especially so >>522063 what I am thinking is, that the original report framed it so they treated them like animals and they wanted to, reasonably so, rebuke that
Kirara 🚗
these are children locked into small areas separated by chain link fences and border control is treating them like animals, yesterday a bunch of lawmakers had to basically break into a border patrol facility because they were being kept from it, and the kids were all in cages, barely eating, nobody was changing infant diapers, etc
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but really best way to tackle illegal immigration is to make legal immigration much easier ofc by now it is a good question, do they just hunt anyone who recently arrive from mexico or just fence hoppers or "overstayes their tourist visa2
Kirara 🚗
yeah, but they don't actually care about illegal immigration they care about Hispanic people that's why they're also going after Hispanic permanent residents of the US
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but what can they do to them aside detain them illegally? you can't deport a legal residence
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
*resident hahaha
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>this house is illegal, we shall deport it to canada
Kirara 🚗
>>522068 detain them illegally, yeah well, it's technically not illegal, even though it's illegal
Kirara 🚗
it's against the law but they're allowed to do it anyway people are getting harassed and shit people that are at US courts working on their legal immigration are being arrested by ICE lol
I, for one, am very pleased that the debate is focused on whether non-citizens are to be treated as animals That's a good debate to see, because it's positive to have this fucking discussion
it would be fun to see the whole decision making process that lead to the border control acting as it does or was it just "hey boys we got a not handed tht we have free hands to do anything we please, YEEHAW"
Kirara 🚗
ICE put out an advertisement with a guy they called a "hero" who had a white supremacist tattoo pretty easily visible i think i know about their decision making process
And every president has used it quite heavily since then. But I am thinking about the current decision memo did the big wigs go with actual "nap everyone hispanic" or just "here's more funding and a get out of the jail free card"
Kirara 🚗
yeah, especially obama the new stuff is just an extension of obama's policy they were told to be more aggressive in finding undocumented immigrants but that's it afaik
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
cause to me the "Yeehaw" seems more likely that seems so much like an organisation that attracts quite specific types of people.
It would appear, TN, that the call for stronger enforcement on illegal immigrants was intended to, and effectively did, communicate a different message than the literal meaning Perhaps it is linked to his other political points
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Oh trump is a nazi yes yes and he wants to gas the blacks and hispanics
The reality is that Trump is, with the support of his base, doing something which was certainly not the literal meaning of his words, and yet you completely dismiss the very possibility that he could have intended and communicated a meaning other than the literal meaning.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
yes, but instead of jumping to conclusions that "it is all as planned and it is nazism" I am thinking, is it just an organisations of fuckheads gone out of control due to incompetence wouldn't be the first time that has happened and most definitely won't be the last time
If you simply assume that a magical mechanism within government to which none of us are privy did the thing, then why even bother trying to analyse the situation.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
what the hell are yoy even saying
Kirara 🚗
i think it's more likely that there are a lot of white supremacists in government just because that's how it is and they now have opportunities to do little things, which are all adding up i think trump does whatever the last person he talked to says trump's hate is probably just him mirroring the hate from those around him, the parasites that have their little tendrils wrapped around everything
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but what I am saying I doubt any big wig said "nap all hips" but rather border control taking that stance after gettign free hands or some lower lvel guy switching messages >>522094 Yes yes world is a white supremacist global conspiracy
>>522093 well yeah ICE has always attracted racists so all they had to do is give ICE more power, and they'll do what they do obama was the one that started that power expansion and was probably unaware of or didn't care about what they were doing
sk
>>522093 What you're literally saying is you doubt they gave the order, and when I say they didn't need to (as in, literally the situation NECESSARY for it to be happenign without them giving the order, YOUR CLAIM) you make me out to be a fucking nutcase
This is why I never take you seriously on this shit
and also that on the higher levels it is simply 1) willfull ignorance as in "we don't want to stop them cause we endorse them 2) actual ignorance as in incompetence 3) partisanship, willfully not stopping thinking it would make them seem weak, despite seeing the damage they are doing and most likely a combination of all three
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>ever attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity *never is a good line to live by
Kirara 🚗
something to keep in mind is that this is all systemic it's a rot that is afflicting all parts of the system one person can't be responsible for all of the evil
corruption allowed systemic racism I guess since they breaking the law But nothing ofc is done about it, as in USA rule of law only applies when required
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but that isn't just the current regime, but just proof of rot that has existed for ages
Kirara 🚗
yeah, it's been like this forever
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and that leaves you witht wo options really when there is that much rot to bring it all down to the foundations and rebuild, faster, but a lot more painful or to slowly and systematically over a period of time clean it up and then keep it aired
eitherway, it can always just rot again if not constantly kept in good condition
that is the big fundamental difference between people do they want slow costing in manpower and money/resources process or a quick change that will cost in actual lives, not to mention most likely completely overturning of the economy One has less chance of radically changing the society into something that barely it resembles, but can just eventually bog down and never really accomplish anything fight against corruption is afterall an eternal fight the other well will succeed in its goal quite easily once set upon, but what comes after? Even if you have a clear vision of the future, that vision can easily be hijacked and changed into something alien, be it violently from you or once you and your cohort pass away
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Nation building is quite much like gardening when you think about it it needs constant care or it will run wild and be filled with stuff you don't want it to be filled and at some point you will need to just tear it all down, dig up the soil and replace it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but that is just proof of never taking care of it even if you do successfully tear it down and rebuild it, if in the first place no one had the interest to keep it tidy and "orderly" why would the next iteration not just end up having to be scorched?

Kirara 🚗
trauma memories aren't coded into memory storage like normal memories you have to restart the processing for them then they code properly at that point, no point in erasing them
>breakinto random interrogation room >start doing high kicks while to be interrogated guy just watches >no dialog >no nothing >just me high kicking and him watching
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
the implications what kind of WEIRD interrogation techniques do they use?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also interrogation? When you have memory draining technology...
>>522145 if they want me to be polite tot hem, they should stop being dicks to me
月
>>522140 in what way do you mean they're coded unlike normal memories i feel like they're there but with a higher energy activation, like a greater encryption barrier, but they're not otherwise different idk if that's what you mean or not a little vague i guess
kinda like you have to be really fuckin hungry to excite the instincts enough to open the cupboards above the sink instead of just opening the fridge to look for food but instead of food it's horror
normal memories are processed through the amygdala and then more-or-less stored elsewhere traumatic memories remain in the amygdala, they don't finish processing they just sit there until you do something that triggers processing again
that's why EMDR works it triggers re-processing of the memory that's stuck in the amygdala so that it can be stored normally
the most successful non-EMDR therapies work by forcing the person to manually re-process the memory, by constantly going through it over, and over but traumatic memories are never gone for good, even if they get re-processed and stored properly, the impact that they have in your amygdala doesn't go away, so there's always sort of a traumatic residue left
that's the major theory right now, at least, based on lots of brain scans and other evidence there's a lot of evidence for it
月
i should get an amygdala transplant mine is so fucked up
月
the words traumatic and residue combined leave a particular trauma in one's mind
Kirara 🚗
luckily that's not a clinical term and just my own brain residue
月
clinical terms have a tendency not to rhyme with any dependency

the effects of social alienation and non-communal living are strikingly devastating when you think about it

we should call up a neurosurgeon and ask about an amygdala transplant we're both consenting adults worst case scenario we both die
Kirara 🚗
sounds like we can't lose
月
if there's actual neural blockading going on in the amygdala that sounds conducive to seizures i imagine that the relative brain is used to diffusing the signals safely, effectively ignoring them and redirecting anxiety anxiety in the physiological context that is
月
i frequently wonder about why i don't have seizure issues now despite having them much worse in the past, under arguably worse chemical pressures and less mental stress you'd think the activation threshold would be met easier, especially given the rekindling aspect of seizures and greater sensitivity to them
i have to postulate that it's because my brain has resolved a lot of pathways for diluting overwhelming stress emotionally i'm still just as sensitive to it, but physiologically there's more room to place the excess flow probably at the cost of my memory

xxxtentacion was shot and killed today hours ago supposedly
月
looks like he's in critical condition according to the media eye witnesses said he had no pulse though
Kirara 🚗
>>522162 that's probably what i'd guess too my memory for little things, like, where i parked, and shit i pretty much totally lost that like two years ago when i started to learn to function again
i'm the other way around my functional memory is extremely acute, more so than i am comfortable with whole chapters of my life though are buried i can recall them given the right stimuli, but unprovoked it's not even close enough to the top hierarchically for me to organizationally consider or recognize but given my identity issues that's probably symptomatic and expected it's super easy and lightweight to shed history and live in the present

>go scout ahead before checking on destination >fight happens >game skips ahead in story and SKIPS the previous thing I wanted to listen thing and would have had to puzzle through ... good coding there french
also >discover who your parents are while rewriting your mother's memories >>522186 yeah it at times is quite solid, but at other times it just is clunky be it hiding collectibles in supposible TENSE HIGH PACE MOMENTS like what the fuck, me going to look for these COMPLETELY RUIN THE PACE OF THE STORY not to mention the combat is either too easy, but kinda fun or just "ugh"
If someone's gonna make a game with all melee combat, the least they could do is give you multiple fucking weapons
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
yeah or atleast more than 2 button combos, that sometimes just don't respond with dodge sytem that is at best half working with only sometimes the game allowing you to resume the combos post dodging and if you knockout an enemy with a combo welp that combo ends there
Oh, no wonder it's unfinished. It's made by like some really small studio. Can't really blame them for fucking up the gameplay front, but I doubt any investments will come in due to how the game was recieved
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I bet capcom pushed for early release, though
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
it would easily be a 8/10 or 9/10 if the platforming was more interesting the combat flowed better, though the super abilities are fun if they used that rewriting memories MORE and if the hidden collectibles were well just better placed in the environment and also locking your background story and character bios, stuff that the player WANTS to know to get better immersion, as really obscure collectibles is a dousche move imo.
I do like her ability to rewrite memories. That could be such a powerful tool in any hands. And humanity hasn't even written something powerful about this ability yet.
Yeah I think it's about a 5/10. The importnant thing about games is the actual gameplay front And it suffered a lot in that regard
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I'd say 6,5/10 if you forgive the occasional bugs like audio bugs and shit and also since I am doing french audio, which is actually somewhat good I don't ahve to suffer through that shitty english voice acting
but really just in today's session I had to reload twice, once an entire chapter from the beginning due to game just bugging out and now I had tor eload another chapter due to me missing a story part
Studio dubs are always trash Best to stick to the main language the game was produced in I say Metro Last Light in Russian was fucking intense
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
metro is great in russian, but too bad it has the same issue as this game the subs are kinda... well they aren't bad, but they are badly implemented too quick or too small or the cutting is odd, like having entire screen wide text, but then just one word sometimes and then ofc, never having random ambient dialog subbed
Meh I don't read that shit anyway. I just listen to the brutal emotion and intensity of the Russian audio Plus the game on Ranger never gave me a break to think
I still think it's the most immersive FPs in existence Something about sneaking through a military base full of reds or nazis then fucking up somewhere along the line and just going for a full bloody shootout Brings me back to the thief days
Also russian is a quite simple language so you can easily start to pick some dialog out so it was sometimes fun to just camp at the neo-commie or nazi camps and listen them talking about random shit
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>522200 >you could make the commies and nazies re-engage their conflict I dunno how you could do it, or rather don't remember but you could do it made it damn amusing

>>522176 where do you get that he's white? regarding beating up a homosexual, you realize that was in jail when the homosexual in question was attempting to force intercourse on him as a minor?
I never finished 2033, though I hadn't used the last chance to buy more ammo, so I did the last few chapters with practically 0 ammo due to NOT STILL USING the money ammo on enemies and then my mask got cracked in the very final chapter and it checkpoint reloaded me so I just spawned each time only to suffocate in 2 minutes
I think all you needed to do was headshot one of them.
The money ammo was the only way to kill demons and librarians, though. And I wasnted to purify the earth from these disgusting monstrosities.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I hated the gorilla monsters
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
the harder difficulties aren't scaled properly btw with the monsters the monsters take about same amount of damage as they do in others, while human enemies and you drop like flies to any bullet but these fuckers naw they still take entire clips to put down clips you don't have in ranger
I bet living in a radioactive wasteland for a dozen years makes you hardy as fuck. Speaking of bullet sponges I'm playing the division rn The intro will probably happen within our lifetimes
but remember me just reminds me of a badly done prince of persia clone with badly done devil may cry wanna be combat or arkham asylum clone combat they have "combo crafting" but you have what 3 combo templtes that you can just fit in with stuff not really craft combos... why not give just FULL customability on the kicks and punches and it would have been much more interesting system
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also ability to properly switch from target to target is fucking necessary for a beatemup/hacknslash game
>>522208' but really the library level in 33 felt just so badly designed compared tot he rest of the game Made me relive all the horror that was Fear2's hard mode... fucking 5 GIANT METAL BOLTS THROUGH HEAD and guy is "nah I am fine"
I think it was designed that way on purpose. To make you hate all of the monsters. Yeah but I'm used to clearing room to room shit cmon I played Rainbow 6 black arrow for real
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
designed to be fucking annoying and hate the game and everything it stands for?
but fear 2 was one of those >so how do we make this game harder? >I know let's give AI aimbot, double their hitpoints and make them know precisely each time when you are reloading >>522215 Naw fear1 had good difficulty scaling
That's like FEAR 1 on Insanity. I literally couldn't get past that one office level cause there was 5 guys that spawn right in front of the helicopter spraying me down every reload And they also had that one cannon that disintegrates your entire body into a skeleton dope gun imo
>>522215 I played the game pretty much with shotgun and never tried a difficulty than the hardest it takes bit learning, but you have your OP timeslow and melee attacks which are one shot to all but the big guys so and the AI doesn't get that much bullet spongier, rather they just become more accurate and actually smarter when you rank the difficulty though the damage you take does become bit insane at times
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
But in fear 2 all the hard mod does is bullet sponges and I really mean that 5 penetrator shots in the head Nope standing
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and they were degenerate unarmoured clones, that had no helmets I was all FUCKING WHY and they kept spawning in random locations all over the train sometimes right next to you
That's every game made after 2012. Devs can't make the actual AI intelligent, so they settle for aimbots and 20x the HP It's rather sad. It seems to me like the take a mathematical equation to a harder difficulty just so they can expend less effort. Fucking Rainbow six vegas AI and Halo 3 AI were off tha charts Mad fun and you had to think against them But now, it's just bullet sponge city. This si why I play online multiplayer a lot lol
yeah but that is the weird thing fear 2still had good part of the stuff that made the enemies so fun in fear 1 but for somereason they had no idea how to make harder difficulties well fun to play and bullet sponges are 100% antifun you should get that even from test groups and whatever shit studies the game devs use
>>522220 Postal 2 has in my opinion one of the most amusing difficulty scalings it does increase enemy hp and your damage taken a bit but what it actually just does is >gives everyone a small arsenal of weapons that can take down a country can't go kick your neighbour's face when he pulls out a rocket launcher
That brings me back to the pedestrians have guns cheat in GTA. Come on, those were nights well wasted It's like actual USA anarchy on the streets, everyone pulling out their AK's and M9's to shoot each other the fuck up.
>press K >grenade suicide >watch through game over screen as everyone in the streets starts a battle royale to kill each other or >sneak sniper someone dead >watch as anarchy explodes or >dress up as cop and attack people >watch as army+cop vs civilians war erupts started by you
Oh yeah Remember me also bit reminded me of Alan Wake not in that alan wake was bugged or shit, but rather both of them kinda fall apart on the dullness and repetiveness of the gameplay quite quick I mean even if RM had fluid combat and no bugs it would still get quite dull quite quick and AW had tht problem it didn't make out in the survival horror fashion, as all you had was bullets, batteries and health items and not really in so rare or "every shot counts" fashion that would make it intense or hard but rather just annoying most of time A solid game, but just really lacking in variety to keep the gameplay interesting ofc game was interesting enough thanks to good plot and characters
Basically the darkness and spookiness and good plot/writing got you through it but if the gameplay had also been hooking, it would have easily been a second max payne instead of a forgotten 3d horror game *3dperson
Quantum Break kinda fullfilled that desire It gave you a nice set of abilitys to move around the battlefield and clear enemies with skill rather than just power spam But I think they fucked off on that series cause of Control. Which I will be playing the fuck out of
>>522233 Haha I always guessed it would fall because of the tacked on series I guess with the "what if we make alan wake seem like a tv series" and then "what if for our next game we go full in that direction?" I mean it might have worked, but...
Yeah a whole chunk of the entire community had a problem with the netflix shit. But I got to see more of my boys Lance Reddick and Adien Gillen so I was cool with it
No organic being can i dunno where i was going with this but let's just say there's a dyson spehere ot there on any star literally leagues of technology farther than anything we've even come close to. SOmething must control that also I'm going mad incoherent rn so imma dip
The professor for my non-fiction class has been really hokey throughout the semester. It's been kind of entertaining but it's been hard to take him seriously.
FormerRei@mobile
Honey?

Huh I googled it That's a good word
Anno
>>522263 hokier than kirara's prof who does the philosophy finger puppets?
FormerRei@mobile
I remember seeing someone on tv whose last name is Hickey.
Anno
>>522267 I wouldn't consider the finger puppets alone to be hokey. A bit silly, but maybe the material being talked about is serious and acceptable. But this guy - my professor, I mean - is really, really passionate about psychoanalysis and applies it to pretty much everything we've read or watched for the class. I understand the field is a domain of psychology but the way it's applied as a lens for examining media makes it feel a lot more like philosophy, and it's philosophy I can't quite accept.
Like we read the graphic novel Persepolis for class last week, and there's many instances in the novel of characters looking at themselves in the mirror or mirroring the poses and arm motions of other characters. And my professor got really into how when you look into a mirror you're seeing the you that you want to be and know you aren't, how looking into the mirror when you're an infant is what makes you identify what is "you" and what is "not you". It's stuff which I have a hard time going "yeah, I can believe this" with. Maybe some of it, I could accept on less intense levels, but the sheer veracity he lectures on them with makes it all seem less believable to me.
Like I said though he's a crazy entertaining character.
