I retired 7 years ago and can relate.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 11 hours ago

Same. It's why I hate change. You know how much it hurts to regrow your brain? It hurts a lot!

[-] brem@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

It really depends on the capacity for knowledge.

Most people (these days) can painlessly regrow a brain with just a few YouTube tutorials, viral videos & a couple of memes.

Finally understand republicans

s/disorders/orders

This is a great example in support of something I often think about. We see our consciousness as "me" and as "the thing in charge" of the body, but really it's more of an ancillary subprocess that the body runs for its own benefit. It's just a special subprocess that does its job best when it mistakenly thinks of itself as being the boss of the body.

Can you explain what this means?

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

There's no biological structure the creates consciousness to the ppint where you can say "if you have x, you're conscious", to the point where saying "humans are conscious" or even "only humans are conscious" aren't always true. Many elephants are conscious. Some dogs are consciohs. Some humans aren't. And no, the split between humans are/aren't conscious ARE NOT CORRELATED WITH DEMOGRAPHIC (fuck Nazis and racists), nor is it easy to draw a line in the sand because it's a spectrum.

It comes from having a brain that's complex enough. Decision making process start interacting together in unexpenced ways, with subtle variations caused by genetics and history. Literally just read the wikipedia page the previous person posted and apply that same logic to brains and minds.

Like why Reubens are so good. I don’t like salty protein, bread with caraway seeds, thousand island dressing or Swiss cheese, but fuck is a Reuben delicious.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Reubens are the only beef food I used eat in my 20s. I've since switched to seitan, but there's something about the combo that just works. The rye bread is a key part of it.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

That’s why I said salty protein :) Swiss cheese is imo so unremarkable that the dairy free version is just as good, and a vegan Reuben is still a perfect sandwich.

I've never seen an organic political stance before... that's amazing.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 32 points 19 hours ago

This hurts, I got denied for a loan for a house a few years ago.

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 39 points 18 hours ago

You should find a rock and then digest your brain.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 43 points 18 hours ago

Seeing your reply out of context made me think "what did I do to get hatemail this time?"

[-] notabot@piefed.social 8 points 16 hours ago

If this is a typical example, you must get some top quality hatemail. There's nothing quite like being told to digest your own brain to convey the poster's opinion of you.

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 10 points 17 hours ago

I wonder if we can get the fortnite/counterstrike kids too use this instead of the old classic: KYS

There's just something more refined about it

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 62 points 21 hours ago

They do think. It's just that they're bad at it. All the stuff they complain about is just in their heads.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago

I'm just glad I'm seeing the democrats start pushing back with the same vitriol republicans have used, and are finding out the other side is full of snowflakes who can't take the heat. Good job, USians! One step in the right direction. Get down and dirty with it, it's about damn time.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

It is nice to see them grow part of a spine, but based on history, the Dem party leadership will nip that in the bud by next summer when the mid term election cycle is in full swing in a lame attempt to sway moderate and conservative voters.

again

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 7 points 17 hours ago

Just because it didn't work the last 17 times doesn't mean it won't suddenly work now!

These are some of the closest relatives of the vertebrates, by the way.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 24 points 21 hours ago

Sea squirt looking at us doing dumb things to the planet: ..... nah, don't know those guys, not related at all

[-] Klear@quokk.au 10 points 20 hours ago

I mean, it's not like we're the worst. Stromatolites completely fucked up the atmosphere and it's still full of poison billions of years later.

[-] twack@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago

In that context, we emerged to thrive on and require that poison like some kind of ghoul feeding off a river of demonic ooze from hell.

Makes sense why we keep fucking shit up.
