If you want to know who controls you, bida ka ben to nama non rawtui da criticize (eg. Illumination’s Minions)

I’m trying to find an old creepypasta that was instructions on how to do this ritual. Bonus points if there’s evidence that that sort of environment can cause mild visual hallucinations, even in a clinical setting, which I seem to also remember is the case.

They also put gay porn in my browser history. Which one of you was it?

Ska makes despondency feel so surreal

I thought the original title wasn’t nearly clickbaity enough for how good the content was

I think these 3 things are fascinating in a similar way. They all involve encoding some information or process in a way that could be replicated independent of the details of the underlying physical mechanisms. It really hammers home for me that life can be seen as a series of increasingly complex abstractions where the implementation details aren’t necessarily the defining factors. Some of that is probably because human intuition is messy and our taxonomies, though increasingly reliable, have started from a place of working backwards from that intuition.

Just had this thought stuck in my head and needed to write it out a bit.

Skill issue

That way, it’ll be deprecated after a year and we can move on

A lot of the time, it can be written off as, “normal people don’t know this, so why would my character?” But it’s also rarely if ever portrayed. For anyone not familiar, if you point a gun in someone’s face, there’s a good chance that the part of their brain that processes your speech has now shut down. This is a big reason why cops pointing a gun at someone and then giving orders is bullshit. A lot of the time, you just cannot hear the person talking to you.

I think the closest I’ve seen to this on screen is a POV shot looking at the gun with a shallow depth of field and the person holding the gun is talking, but it’s really muffled. Honestly, I’ll take it. It’s not like people can’t hold a conversation while at gunpoint. It’s just that not everyone can all the time.
