You can do that today..take some salvia.
No thanks! 😊
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.
Don't you wish it could be Christmas every day?
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.

but it checks out
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
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.
Yep, there's a few episodes made after that

thats the only reason? you have more confidence in that asshats tech not catching fire than is healthy
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?!
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.
This incident will be reported.
Surely Trump has to be an implant meme
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.
Sounds like a lovely little Jaunt
Little? More like longer than you think!
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.

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.
If that scarred you for life, you had a wonderfully harmless life 😉
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.

This is why when we say SET and SETTING, that includes who you have around.
Don't trip with rotters like that around.
The old time knife gets you every time.
