The worst part is the chuds that didn’t understand the game is a parody of their ideology using this as an excuse to be mad at the “woke” devs

It’s amazing how they just walked right in to that one. “Put up a giant American flag to show them what truly matters.”. But that just ends up providing the perfect backdrop for a projection of Genocide Joe.

Also imagine the second image plus amerikkka

Nah, the self is the series of electrical signals in your brain. The self is composed of memory, emotions, thoughts, and personality, those are the things that make you you. Memory, emotions, and thoughts are in the brain and personality is basically derived from those (i.e. life experiences).

A brain in a jar may have no inputs or outputs, but it could still be cognizant. It might not be an amazing experience, but it would be. Your thoughts would still be going. It also could have inputs and outputs through a brain computer interface.

Think about your inputs and outputs. You’re still the same person if you go blind, deaf, mute, lose your limbs, whatever (although from that point forward you'll have radically different life experiences). All of those senses are ways for the brain to navigate the physical world it exists in. They influence the self, but they are not the self.

look at the brain-body system more holistically all of them act in unison to support each other

Yes, but that doesn’t make it all part of the self. It’s a complex system but it’s all to keep the brain alive.

Think about what death, cessation of the self, is from a physical standpoint. What forms of death are there? What physically happens in those forms of death? The answer is that brain death is the only actual form of death, everything else is brain death resulting from [whatever]. Some system in the body fails, ultimately stopping oxygen from reaching the brain, which means it stops working.

"You" are more than just your brain

The self exists entirely within the brain, everything else is to keep the brain alive.

and when the electrochemical processes that constitute your mind cease there's no bringing them back whether or not it's intact.

Yeah I know, but it just feels worse for some reason.

Looks like it's basically the same idea as "sodomy".

CW explicit SASo anal raping their wife, something that AFAIK can be incredibly painful and even damaging if not done right, is perfectly legal.

I can't wait to read about whatever fucked up shit happens. It's an interesting show and I'd like to watch it, but I can't really stomach it. Just reading the things that happen has me kind of sick.

cw: some of the fucked up shit that happensThe exploding heads thing triggers some sort of extra empathetic response in me. Like they didn't just die, their entire being (as in, their brain) was completely destroyed out of nowhere.

Also the circumstances and magnitude of the event would change politics forever, but nah just use a convenient scapegoat and don't worry about it.

One of the biggest sitcoms ever > a movie based entirely on a pun > the car coffee thing > a movie about pop tarts.

What a career.
