  • Yes this is so dumb. Razor thin phone with massive camera bumps. Who is asking for this?

  • And it tells the same time as a $5 Casio, but it's heavy and gaudy. I guess money can't buy taste.

  • I've been saying for years that it needs to be nationalized. And this is a really good time to do so; Elon is showing that him being in charge is a national security risk.

    But Trump 100% doesn't have the guts to do it.

  • The Beatles Pink Floyd Radiohead David Bowie

    All artists that I've liked for a long time that I'm unlikely to get sick of. Also with quite large discographies.

  • Worth it.

  • just gonna die and be revived real quick, brb...

  • Definitely, although I think it's most interesting if the advanced technology is based on the magic.

    Like, let's say there is a world where there are magic plants that can heal you, people who can magically scry nearby locations if they meditate deeply, and stones that levitate in the moonlight.

    And there's an evil empire that exploits the fuck out of this by industrially farming the plants to create a highly concentrated serum, removing people's brains and hooking them up to computers for magical sensing abilities, and attaching fragments of moon rocks to the levitating stones to create antigravity. Creating invulnerable flying supersoldiers with impossibly good radar powered by brain backpacks.

    he died so young... 😞

    It's a bit dark, but I think suicide would become extremely common. Born in a third world country? Reroll. Born as the wrong gender? Mulligan. Getting old? Refresh. etc.

    It would probably cause a lot of chaos in society. I think there would probably be a stigma around it unless there's a good reason, with people going out of their way to prove that they died naturally. I guess you'd have to memorize a secret phrase or something to prove you're the same person.

    Also, would people even want to have kids, if it's just some random old person's mind? Not really sure how I would feel about that.

    And what happens when the population decreases? Would everyone just be waiting in a queue to be born, or would they actually die? Either way, choosing to not have kids would become a bit of a tragedy of the commons.

  • Uh, unless you're a philosophical zombie, you have direct proof that consciousness exists. On a level that isn't directly explainable from our current understanding of the brain.

    I don't have any proof that anyone else is conscious. For all I know, it's possible that everyone else is just a biological automaton. (although occam's razor suggests otherwise)

    But I do experience my own existence and awareness. So because of that, I'm 100% certain that consciousness is a real thing, more certain than I am of literally anything else existing.

    I'd like to clarify that it doesn't mean that free will exists, and doesn't suggest whether consciousness is emergent, separate, or universal. But it definitely exists beyond just being some observable collection of behaviours.

  • Also infrared cameras are pretty sensitive, so the lights often aren't that bright.

    And the contact lens definitely won't make infrared light as bright as visibly light. It also likely doesn't line up exactly with the wavelength used by most cameras.

    It would probably be noticeable but not appear very bright.

  • The way you should think about it is that you were masking really well, which is hard!

  • WHAT

  • This is bullshit. Adobe had a negative space verion of the a, but never used anything that looks like this until very recently. Meanwhile Delta has beem using this logo for well over a decade.

    Also, it's a pretty generic logo that probably shouldn't be trademarkable. (the earlier negative space version, sure, but not what amounts to basically just a triangle)

    It sucks that corporations can basically just decide that something is theirs now, and force everyone else to stop using it.

  • You need something like this.

  • If all you want is a one night stand, this kinda does sound like you're leading her on. It feels a bit dishonest to be talking with her for an extended period of time and getting to know her if you just want a hookup, not even a friendship.

    In this situation all you can be is honest, but in the future I'd take a look at how you're interacting with people.

  • wait wait wait how do i kiss them.....? 😳👉👈

  • I really don't think this concept makes sense. Firstly, I don't even know if the motion they show would even be physically possible with their proposed technology. In reality, it would be super heavy and would need a LOT of power.

    Secondly, it's a HUGE hazard. it would be incredibly bumpy, probably to the point of injury and/or throwing the rider off. Also, it's just asking to crush someone's legs.

    Don't get me wrong, I think rideable legged robots are cool as hell, but this configuration doesn't make sense until we're making Westworld style soft robots with fusion reactors or something, or advanced biotech. With near future tech, you'd either need to be sitting within or above the robot, and you'd probably want more legs for stability. If you really want to ride it like a horse I guess you could probably do an 8 leg design with 4 in front and behind the rider, out of leg crushing range.
