The thing is your story seems more to confirm the scientific consensus around consciousness as connected to the physical existence of the brain. You describe how ancient medicine functioned through trial and error. Some times they came up with stuff that worked, more often than not they didn’t, and they had no way of knowing why a cure worked until scientific progress had discovered the underlying explanations for it. So when they found a cure that just happened to work on a certain disease, they would apply it for all sorts of diseases, or lacking proper diagnosis, would mistake other diseases for the disease it worked on and so forth.

It was blind chance without any actual useful theory behind it. Now we have useful theory which explains why consciousness would be linked to the physical cognitive functions of a brain, and less and less that would explain how it could exist without it.

No, both of those still involves some form of brain consciousness. What we don’t have any evidence of is consciousness existing without a physical body.

Now when a Putin simp is leading the country?

Especially compared with his facial expression. He very much look like he is savouring the news.

Finely diced celery, carrots and onion is the foundation of basically all great stews and ragouts (including ragu alla bolognese).

What a bunch of false nonsense.

Perhaps because the narcissistic lying liar have never cared for anybody but himself, and especially not poor people?

So bizarre that they start off with whining about Trump and Musk being criticised. One should have thought that that would be something a true communist could agree with.

Also he did manage to dismantle federal government, so no more oversight and regulations for corporations. That is a pretty huge win for oligarchs and a catastrophy for basically everybody else, which everybody seems to have forgotten about in the general avalanche of shitshows which has been occurring.

They sure put a stop to that.

Nah, this is just him once again doing Putin’s bidding.

Basically all car companies are focusing on EVs now, they know they are the future. Tesla is inconsequential in all this.

Elon Musk is just a moron. He was the richest man on the planet, he could have all the power he wanted, just like all the clever billionaire oligarchs, but his pathological narcissism required an audience, so instead of manipulating things behind the scenes as they do, he stepped onto it and showed the world what a moronic asshole he is.

*racists. There’s nothing ultra about this, this is the natural conclusion of racism.

As mentioned before in this thread, that is because the rooms themselves aren’t sufficient, investment in social care involved with the operation of them is as important.

You got your history a little bit off. The leaders of the brownshirts were assassinated by the blackshirts (the SS). The brownshirts were the victims of the Night of the Long Knives, and they never achieved the level of importance in Hitlers hierarchy as they had held earlier.

I don’t also really see the similarity with what is going on right now. Ernst Röhm was only powerful because of his position within Hitlers ranks, and he was taken out immediately and secretly with no open feud going on between them. It was Hitler removing old baggage within his own ranks, as he had outgrown them.

Röhm was never a powerful figure on his own. But both Trump and Musk are powerful in American society independent of each other, and, assuming this feud is real, it makes it much more interesting than The Night of Long Knives, because they both have the capability of dealing a lot of damage to each other.

The game is forced multiplayer? Yeah, then I’ll pass.

Your first point is wrong, you repeating it doesn’t make it more true.

Those listings are misinformation though. So equally as wrong as the people who took this poll, and not something you should base your knowledge of the subject on.

In 2002 they would all have anti-skip, even the cheap knock offs. The skipping was just in the early 90s.

Tankies unable to fathom that you can be critical of both fascism and the authoritarian state capitalism which is China.
