this is actually an amazing concept for a story, there are so many dynamics that could arise out of this.
It would just be a standard part of burials for someone to be assigned the brain of the deceased, with rituals to make it less disgusting and kinda hide that fact.

But since you’re gaining their memories, it would also be kind of harrowing to be the assigned inheritor, you’re basically just taking their entire mind into you, so you might end up designating an “avatar” person who is never given a chance to form their own personality and instead just spends their entire life carrying the sum total experience of those before them, and only rarely would someone else consume the memories of another if it’s vital that they specifically gain that specific knowledge.

Like good lord, imagine having a legitimate god-emperor who is the physical embodiment of all those who have come before, who you yourself will almost certainly become part of when you die (unless your body is lost)…
Then imagine that person dying and the brain being lost, cutting off the 10 thousand year unbroken lineage… terrifying

so this is how i learn that gmail has AI shit integrated, lmao

the coming winter is going to be terrifying

communists do bad things in the process of doing good things
capitalists do good things in the process of doing bad things

“confusingly uncivil” makes me think that mods should just have an “egg on face” button, for things that don’t deserve actual action but they still want to shame

“this user has eggs on their face”

only 4 hands? i regularly encounter packaging for other things that require 15 hands and small industrial machinery to open

but surely they could just crush the hard plastic bollards?

what’s wild to me is that they use posts that are obviously flexible, like why can they not just use hard plastic poles? it’s not gonna make jackshit difference for drivers beyond maybe scratching their paint more, but will look solid and actually discourage crossing them.

so how precisely do you suggest we transition away from cars in cities? just tell people living rurally to suck it up until 30 years in the future when we’ve gotten around to making public transport in their area usable?

park&ride when done right is fine, it’s a fine way to prevent people from losing their minds about change, don’t let perfection be the enemy of improvement.

okay so you don’t have to drive there at all, you just choose to do so.

edge of city park-and-ride is there to shut up the numbnuts who cry “but how will i get into the city?!?!?!”

why would you need to drive to ikea? do other countries not do delivery?

Delivery from my nearest IKEA warehouse which is ~70km away in a completely different city costs 50 EUR, or 30 if you join “IKEA family”

park and ride should be done where land is cheap, like at the edge of an urban area.
Then you just slap down a station and a cheapo parking garage and maybe a small convenience store/café and bam

unf, ugh uh
HYAAAAAAAAGH

it also just makes more sense in general, no one would say “hi i’m from the EU”, so why on earth do people say “hi i’m from the US” or “hi i’m from canada”?

that’s murcia

fiona?

it sounds like you’ve exercised wrong, it’s like people who eat nothing but dry joyless salad for a week and then act like healthy food inherently sucks…

just fuckin walk around a room while lifting something heavy in various ways until you feel tired, perfectly decent exercise that i can’t imagine a normal person finding anything worse than boring, which is remedied by putting on a podcast

important to note that you can still get stronger and benefit from exercise without excess protein intake, just training the nerves does a lot.

also things like pasta and beans/lentils have very respectable amounts of protein, i’ve grown plenty of muscle without any particular diet or supplements.
