the name thing she's wrong on btw, that's the whole concept of a temporary mailing address
the floor/apt this is fine too (and I know why you do it) but even as far as USPS is concerned, they don't have to worry about that
Replying to 🐝🌯🌯🌯💥 #march.7th theyre grumpy because ive had like 100 boxes in the past week
yeah, that's the real reason
I feel like mine get mad at me if I have more than 2 packages/week

this is sorta political
but it belongs here
Vote for the matrix
I'd low-key vote for this
fuck it
it's just so obviously evil
I disagree on that last part
the sales pitch is fantasy, sure
but the idea that "let's blast the brain's terror receptors using a spooky helmet and implant"
that I think is feasible in the medium term
I think the opposite version of this will exist too, a "dopamine brain implant thing"
what's the cast like this time Dane?
AI startup that will get 1 mil in investments and have nothing to show for it, a tale as old as time
Replying to Dialga #god_of_time so, brainwashing?
the pitch is brainwashing, but I feel like the feasible concept is "will you let us subject you to mental torture for X days, in exchange for not serving 10 years in prison"
if they made the offer for physical torture, old school brutal torture
I think some people would take them up on it
Dane, I'm 100% on-board with brain fuckery, I expect to get a neuralink at some pointin my life
This is the kind of thing that would not be allowed even if they do figure it out
without prison reform, I agree Pika
which part?
like, obviously I'm not going to consider being lobotomized in exchange for a lighter prison sentence
but mental/physical torture, yeah I'd consider it
depending on my understanding of what it would entail
I would consider other physical augmentations long before a chip in my brain
my brain is who I am, I am not risking that
it would have to be less than a 0.001% risk to even be worth it
yould you expand you brain Pika, if the option was available?
define expand?
like, a N64 expansion module style
they just add extra brain matter
I fundementally view changing how your brain works as killing yourself
I think we've had this convo in voice at some point
but I no longer agree with that premise, I used to
but I now think there is a layer beyond the physical vessel of the brain, and if you pour the 'you' of your brain into a different vessel, (such as by adding extra synapses to your brain" that is still you
Okay, let me clarify. If you can do it in a way where the way you think does not change at all
like, obviously, a lobotomy, brain tumor, etc, removes brain matter
but I don't think it's identity death, I think it a s direct imparment of the 'you'
