Hwæt?

I think we must have read different books. Deckard is a human in the Philip K. Dick novel.

An android at one point attempts to gaslight Deckard and another officer into believing they are androids and their lives are a lie, but they realize he’s lying and administer the empathy tests on themselves to prove it. IIRC, androids are also unable to use the empathy boxes of the Mercerism religion, but we see Deckard use one like everyone else.

The other angle, however, is that the novel is ultimately a story about humans who lack humanity, set against androids who give the appearance of humanity more than most humans do. Deckard is notable for being one of the few human characters in the book capable of genuine empathy, which is what causes him to wrestle with the morality of his line of work. And unlike the replicants of the movies, it’s shown that androids ultimately are not capable of empathy after all, ending a bit more like the film Ex Machina. Having Deckard be an android makes for an interesting movie twist, but it invalidates a lot of the development and messaging of the novel.

I would never stoop as low as that.

PS4 and Xbox One are weak, last-gen consoles. I’d use the same PC that I have all the porn tabs open on.

In my experience the only thing we buy regularly that hasn’t substantially increased in price in the last year is gasoline.

Not likely to last long, however. Gas prices in the US have been stabilized for a little while by tapping the strategic petroleum reserve.

Trump announced just a couple days ago that the government is planning to shift to replenishing the reserve, which means that the gas prices will soon be more directly dictated by market rates.

Videogames, eh?

Those that use the script extender are at greater risk of breaking, but most mods made only with the creation kit should work without issue.

• in the US.

I’m assuming the others are supposed to represent other marginalized groups.

Brown for people of color, pink for women, though your guess is as good as mine on the purple.

The idea of intersectionality is that it is not feasible to try to uplift one marginalized group to the exclusion of others, so it’s basically saying “we have each other’s backs regardless of race/gender/sexuality/whatever purple is.”

Would not surprise me if this was an AI generated shirt though, or at least a ripoff of an original design someone else made, because I’ve seen this same sort of design everywhere.

She does not.

Every Morrowind player learned this lesson early on.

Plenty of options, but you’ll be hard-pressed to target something specific without both skills and money.

The easiest option available to many Americans is to see if you can prove ancestry from a country with jus sanguinis citizenship that you have a direct link to. Some countries need it to be within a generation or two, other countries don’t have a specific cutoff point. But anticipate a long, bureaucratic process and costs to have documents translated.

The other easiest option is to marry a citizen of another country and move there together. But good luck with that.

But if either of those aren’t options, you’re going to have a hard time if you don’t have a college degree and don’t have experience working in a desired field.

From what I’ve heard and read in the past, in addition to other comments here, there are probably two additional reasons why surgeries aren’t commonly recorded:

1. Patients probably wouldn’t like knowing how casual a lot of operating rooms are. While you’re unconscious, they’re often playing music in the background and having idle gossip.

2. Surgeons don’t want an additional element of stress caused by recording and additional regulation that would likely accompany that during situations that are already stressful.

Is -やさい just a cheeky pun off of -なさい?

Looks like it may be a variety of wasp?

Ah the ol’ “landlord special” eh?

Journey. What a magical game.

The Play Store is honestly full of malware, be careful.

It makes it even more of an insult that Google wants to mandate a registry of approved developer accounts in the name of “security” when they can’t even guarantee the security of their own store.

And I feel like those pointy edges are just going to cut your mouth eventually.

Maybe it was a typo and they meant to write ‘wound’?
