It reminds me of that Black Mirror episode where you can clone your consciousness into a personal assistant Alexa thingy, and then when it doesn’t behave right because, you know… it’s you, and it doesn’t want to be trapped into a personal assistant thingy, you torture it by leaving it alone for a year of simulated time. And then when it misbehaved again, the character left it alone for like 15,000 years.
This is why when we say SET and SETTING, that includes who you have around.
Don’t trip with rotters like that around.
Sounds like a lovely little Jaunt
Little? More like longer than you think!
It’s longer than you think.
That’s what she said.
Now here’s a guy who knows ball.
Call me insane, but I’d like to experience those future tech stuff just to see what memes will be like lol
How do you know you are not in one right now, and could Zap out at any second?
You went back to the carpet store?!
How dare you! King orange orangutans Trump will have your head!
Yeah, present day does kind of feel worse than falling for ten thousand gears through a sea of knives.
Wait… Oh. Oh no. That’s why everything that’s happening feels like a fever dream. I’m living in a meme from the 23rd century!
Sometimes I’ll say “Computer! End simulation.” Just to check.
Unable to comply. Insufficient user permissions.Think I was happier not getting an answer.
Of course You dont have necessary permissions. You’re just an npc lol
Does he know?
So was Moriarty, Pinky.
Surely Trump has to be an implant meme
Yup, that is the sole reason why I won’t let Elon put a chip in my brain.
… Not because of that one episode of Black Mirror?
That one episode? How about all of them.
That show is like fear of the future set in crystal
Which one specifically? Not remembering from context and I feel like a lot had brain chips
You’re right, several of them would be perfectly relevant in this case, but I was specifically thinking of an episode where they put electric contact lenses in soldiers and made them think they were fighting monstrous creatures rather than other people.
When the protagonist of the episode realized that and refused to fight any more, he found that the contacts were not removable by the user. His superiors put horrific displays on his lenses. Because of their nature, he couldn’t escape even by closing his eyes. Eventually he agreed to behave so as not be forced to see such horrible things.
That one was truly fucked up. I realy liked most of black mirror, but that one was a bit to much for me. What broke me was seeing the guy at the end missing multiple teeth and it’s very obvious where they went…
I don’t actually remember that detail. I mostly remember the premise of the episode: torturing you with visuals to make you comply.
But yeah. Torture in general, physical or mental, is messed up.
That’s because they’re talking about another one, where someone’s braindamage is countered by a part of their brain being ran on a commercial cloud. Of course, enshittification follows, and her husband resorts to extreme measures to pay for the increasing cost.
Ah, gotcha. Thank you for the information. I’m at least a bit behind on that show and don’t remember that premise from it at all, so I think it must have been after I last watched it. I think the last Black Mirror thing I saw was that interactive choice movie, but I might be misremembering.
FWIW, I also liked Love, Death & Robots and it was mostly less depressing and/or frightening.
thats the only reason? you have more confidence in that asshats tech not catching fire than is healthy
Joke’s on them. I send them goatse and other late 90s early 00s sites and scar them for life, just like I’ve been.
Rickroll 2077
Locks the subject in a comatose state forced to watch an endlessly looping music video where Rick Astley makes increasingly more menacing eye contact with them as he says, “Never gonna give you up!”
Can we hear Bloodywood cover that?
Go with the times. Make a version where they fall into The Receiver’s gaping colon for 10,000 years. Make Hampster Dance start playing after 5,000 years just to fuck with them.
Duration has really inflated. Back then we used to have only 10 hours of things.
it’s an old greentext
Still, gotta love the HTTP_Lovecraft handle
Should have an alt account HP_Minecraft
Not as scary as HP_Printer.
IA! Fthagn!!
but it checks out
So Salvia?
Or a K hole if you’re less fancy.
K-holes are fun though.
Yeah this, salvia is anything but some light recreational fun.
Or anything that might help with mental problems.
Last time I went the spirits kicked me out for being too much of a noob to their realm. But that was like 15-20 years ago.
salvia is anything but some light recreational fun.
what are you talking about? this doesn’t look like fun to you?
Been there, done that.
Didn’t break a window, just hung on a doorhandle.
The most fucked up thing is salvia has reverse tolerance. The more you use it the stronger it will be.
Fancy? That’s a translator to the former.
K-hole is a type of ornamental shrub? K-hole sounds like a drug induced fugue state.
Depends on the Salvia. For traditional, you’ll needs a longer translator. They’re a bit different though. Freebase DXM reputably doesn’t last as long? I’m completely to the contrary on that tho. I get a 3x time span to the 3rd on it.
The old time knife gets you every time.
Sike!
At least they’re not eating you. You worked for DuPont. Karma mofo.
I get it! Torture is funny! /s
I don’t think you interpreted the joke correctly if it led to this comment
