I loved Van Helsing. It was seriously brain dead entertainment but action was great and the effects were good. I loved The Brothers Grimm, that came out the year after, better though. Horror movie, comedy, action. I passed that movie over back then because of the critics, so took a few more years until I actually got to see it.

Downloaded installer or MSStore? I had an issue for a short time (a single version then it got fixed) where only the Store version caused system stuttering.

Also maybe, you haven’t messed with Windows virtual memory page sizing?

Once I can pick and choose my body and change it on a whim, and it feels like my body, Im gonna end up staying in VR unhealthily much.

Even with the tech we have today, when I first used VR and selected a body for something like VRChat, I started feeling like the body was my own. You know the “fake hand” experiment? Something like that. But the illusion is quickly destroyed as soon as I touch something or movement dont match up. And the effect gets weaker for each time.

It was such a cool feeling. I want it again.

I tend to explain stuff to myself to figure out if I think I got it. Sometimes I try explaining stuff on reddit and hope anyone corrects me if I’m wrong. Works great imho.

TIL Muditā is a dharmic concept of joy, referring particularly to an especially sympathetic or vicarious joy, or the pleasure that comes from delighting in other people’s well-being.

Crash my car into a rock wall at 30 km/h. I’m glad I had dropped off my passenger because the passenger side no longer had leg space.

For me its less of a contract and more of a built-in instinct. I feel physically ill if I think I unfairly annoy or hindering someone. I dont get why others feel like its only a contract, one which they can break if they want to. But they can and I have accepted it. So I dont despair, they are only human (and so am I).

(I just couldnt leave the title of the movie out of the clickbait title, it is too perfect as it is.)

The five elements you need to save the earth! You wont believe what the fifth one is.

Yes, you might, if you’re caught by an unreasonable cop. Its a very general law that relies on a fictional amount of “common sense” .

The 3 criminals that got hit with that justice system got away with kidnapping a person and underfeeding a trapped animal before they were finally caught red-handed stealing sausages and cake. They spent only a few days in a minimum security prison, got free soap and a haircut and food and support, before they were freed and given jobs after proving they had changed for the better.

Wish it was this easy in our world. But we are trying to be as close to it as is sensible.

My agoraphobia says “not between people”. So first or last seat in a row. Distance to the screen is irrelevant.

Yeah, it IS cool! Even cooler is learning how language and words has evolved over time. A word you thought you knew might have had completely different meaning a few years or a century ago, and often gives a hint about the culture back then. If I redid my life, I would love to have become a language researcher.

The written word is well and good, but writing and reading didn’t become common among everyone until some figured out how to mass-produce writings. The modern world, easy access to education, and many battles for equality and freedom, they couldn’t have happened without printed books. We can learn about the sagas and myths of countless cultures around the world without being a noble or a monk or a scribe, and without knowing the original language. So… Books. The magic in writing became so much more powerful with books.

I feel that for the rentable e-bikes and e-kick scooters. No need for overcrowded buses or car queues. No need to be afraid my bike is gonna get stolen when i park it. They are everywhere in the city. And is often faster than the bus too.

Just too bad some people cant park them properly, cant follow simple rules, and cant not try to ruin them.

Cool! I learned myself some basic Rust last year, I loved how they do memory management.

Ah. I think theres a lot of people who dont mind doing a single culture. As long as the single culture is THEIR culture only.

But I dont think a single culture is possible with humans. We are trained to spot differences in other humans, and sort people into “us” and “them”.

At least you get feedback. I dont know what I do wrong or right, I’m just ignored. Maybe a gendered thing? I mean I have never heard someone tell a man his low ranking to his face. But also I dont know if I could have handled the amount and kind of feedback I’ve heard you women get. It probably hurts, and I’d probably punch someone eventually.

Some people. People worth staying away from, imho.

What do you mean with a single culture?
