What about someone who spent 6 hours forming a strong connection with you then you literally never hear from them again?

So, interestingly, some rather misguided anarchists have this idea that Project 2025 is essentially a guaranteed way to reset the country and plunge it into anarchy.

They do not tend to be the best and the brightest.

That’s… Wait. That’s the whole premise of all the games dammit.

I had to look it up because I didn’t believe y’all.

$755 for 64GB DDR5.

I thought I had DDR5 but I guess it’s just DDR4 according to my motherboard.

Mother fucker. I could have gotten it for $200 a year ago. I’m at the point where I suggest we start taking ahem excessive action against AI companies.

For dissociation? No, not entirely, hence the need for professional evaluation. Like I said it is a defense mechanism.

But trauma can come in a lot of forms. Medical, violent, sexual, emotional, neglect etc.

Wait

Hold on

I’ve seen this one before

Ok. Still not going to get it.

This needs to be addressed by professionals. Sensory issues are one thing, it’s how we respond to them that can be a problem.

Dissociation is a defense mechanism developed from traumatic events. Sometimes these things take some pretty serious therapy and careful medicine management to overcome.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is often required, combined with Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. For the sensory issue itself, Occupational Therapists are trained in it specifically.

Not fully, but we know it requires a minimum amount of activity in the brains of vertabrates, and at least observable in some large invertebrates.

I’m vastly oversimplifying and I’m not an expert, but essentially all consciousness is, is an automatic processing state of all present stimulation in a creatures environment that allows it to react to new information in a probably survivable way, and allow it to react to it in the future with minor changes in the environment. Hence why you can scare an animal away from food while a threat is present, but you can’t scare away an insect.

It appears that the frequency of activity is related to the amount of information processed and held in memory. At a certain threshold of activity, most unfiltered stimulus is retained to form what we would call consciousness - in the form of maintaining sensory awareness and at least in humans, thought awareness. Below that threshold both short term and long term memory are impaired, and no response to stimulation occurs. Basic autonomic function is maintained, but severely impacted.

Agents have debated that the new phenomenon may or may not constitute a new designation. While some have reported the painting following them, the same agents will then later report nothing seems to occur. The agents who report a higher frequency of the painting following them also report a higher frequency of unexplained injury. The injuries can be attributed to cases of self harm, leading scientists to believe these SCP agents were predisposed to mental illness that was not caught during new agent screening.

Idk. Sometimes I wonder if psychosis is preferable to reality.

Trump: “Execute Mark Kelly!”

Kelly: “Try me.”

That seems to be my experience so that’s handy.

Doesn’t exactly help me much though.

I’ve been using it a lot

Ahhh.

Ok, so then the real thing I’m learning here is that the shell is made out of the lighter, softer material to deliver the energy. They put the penetrator cap on, usually made of steel or some stronger heavier material, but it’s thin so not significantly decreasing shell velocity. However, the shape of the penetrator allows for the energy to be delivered all at one precise spot, but it causes the flight characteristics to suck. To get the flight back, they add a thin lightweight material back over the penetrator that is negligible in terms of reducing the energy the penetrator delivers.

Cool

TIL. I always thought it was the opposite.

Look man , I’m just saying it ain’t no debate.

Even though those say AP on them, I’m pretty sure those are the heavier APBC shells used later.

Base of the balls and the whole shaft

When I started learning the capabilities of the F-35 in ~2013, it was obvious to me that the next generation of air power will be entirely autonomous, at least entirely remote. (Most people thought I was thinking too far into the future, “there’s no way they can control something moving that fast on the other side of the world.”) The limiting factor in planes is the human. Take the human out, and it’s a lot more capable.

I think that in the not so near future, world wide air travel will be highly restricted due to systems built to respond to automated/remote threats.
