Super Mario 64 on my switch. Reminds me of great childhood memories.

My point was that I had linked to plenty of countries not located within north or south America.

I have a surface pro 8 and love it for school work in grad school. I love the stylus for note-taking and load it up with pirated textbooks. Saved $670 - $780 (used vs new) on next semester's books.

I can't see myself buying a new one tho once I finish school.

Oh whoops, my bad..

The false belief that systemic racism is in the past is widely perpetuated, and (aside from the blatantly obvious police problem) many do not realize we are still very much a country which operates on white supremacy.

The most powerful book in transforming and informing my position on racism was DiAngelo's "White Fragility: Why it's so Hard for White People to Talk About Racism." I highly recommend this to everyone.

Some other great books are "How to be an Antiracist" by Ibram Kendi and "Privilege, Power, and Difference" by Johnson.

This doesn't look heavenly to me.. looks ominous as fuck.

Pretty awesome tho.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

Well I mean teaching as in modeling the behavior. Like offspring witnessing tool use for example.

And hooking her up to machine for nutrition was just an example. The point is because she will stop eating and starve herself.

But as someone else commented, removing the sex harmone glad prompts them to continue eating.

Edit: Wait that was you!

My first thought was an altered item in Control, but SCP also works.

I felt like Control was practically an SCP universe. Absolutely loved that game.

Yeah they are so incredible!

One of the biggest hindrances for their species is the lack of social learning. The mother starves and dies protecting the eggs, so all octopuses have to learn for themselves over their short lifespans.

And that is a testament to their cunning intellect and problem-solving capability. They learn so much and so quickly.

I've wondered what would happen in an experiment where a mother octopus was hooked up to machines to deliver nutrients to prevent her from starving to death while guarding her eggs. What kind of social dynamic would then follow once they hatched? Would she teach her young?

I totally agree with your criticism about the headline, but declaring octopuses have consciousness isn't a stretch at all in my opinion.

I highly recommend reading my blog post on animal cognition, culture, and personhood.

I have ads turned off and do not benefit in any way from my blog. I feel confident that my write-up should persuade open-minded individuals to give other animals the benefit of the doubt regarding possessing consciousness.

I have doubts about insect consciousness is any sort of relatable sense to humans, but many other animals absolutely possess consciousness similar to humans.

Yeah, like Italians, the Irish weren't considered White. Whiteness was a concept invented to justify slavery and human exploitation in the New World. It's interesting to see how different races have become accepted as 'White' over time.

A book I highly recommend is White Fragility by Diangelo.

So formidable.. Earlier detection of a severely outdated aircraft that's being phased out...

Elephants are incredible animals. They have complex communication and even communicate through seismic vibrations through the ground via their feet, and they can even recognize the elephant sending the seismic message. Additionally, they have cultural practices, including funeral rituals.

For citations for these claims and more information, here is a blog post of mine (I have ads turned off and don't benefit from my blog in any way).

You also lose your native rights/laws in international waters. The security operating on the cruise ship might hold/be bound by starkly different ethical/lawful beliefs than you are accustomed to.

I do agree with your sentiment. I think it should be a more gradual shift to madness. That makes a lot more sense to me, and it's how I always imagined it.

I liked that they are saying their name trying to maintain that last shred of humanity, but they present as more rabid extreme shifts. Like the ghoul that's killed and cannibalized going from having fluent conversations and vivid recollections to screaming his name is a bit much...

I think they should be in a confused and disoriented state like in dementia, and they should be near totally nonverbal by the point they're trying to remember who they even are. If it's caused by an irradiated brain essentially rotting away, then they shouldn't be able to articulate and be reminiscing at that point...

That ghoul and the one in Super Duper Mart saying their own names trying to retain their last shred of human consciousness was a nice touch.

It reminded me of Admiral Keyes losing his mind to the Flood in the 2nd Halo book, where he just kept repeating who he was as it stripped his mind away.

And was this weak spot not present when fighting Maximus in Filly?.. Was Maximus wearing a different armor set, or was this a plot hole??

But showing one tit would be way too much, man.

There is nudity in a scene in a later episode. Not of Lucy tho, if that's what you're complaining about it lacking.

Edit: Wait, maybe you're talking about the games.

That was the same airship as FO4. It had the name "Prydwen" on the side of it and everything.
