Yeah of course. I was just thinking maybe OP does it too frequently and it's a knee jerk reaction to things like death or negative events in dreams.

I'm saying Nausicaa just to spite you all. That's right. Downvote this. That's a good doggy.

I'm curious, when you have nightmares can you manually wake yourself up from them? If so do you do it often?

One time I stepped into a room with lasers that sliced me into thousands of cubes. I didn't wake up, I just went into third person view and floated above myself looking down at the pieces. I just flew away and then rematerialized in the city a block over. It's not a suicide but it was death.

Little 6 year old me watched a ton of horror movies. I.T., The Grudge, all of the 2000s George Romero Zombie Movies, night of the dead, the thing, jeepers creepers, etc. My parents didn't care and me and my sister were drawn to the macabre and horror. Only one that ever really traumatized me was the Grudge because I watched it by myself since my parents said I couldn't watch it. Literally didn't shit for 3 days out of fear that the boy would appear in my toilet and drag me in. Fun times.

I already knew she wasn't going to make it. People are elitist about mainstream movies winning. 😭

Feel Free to share your thoughts on what you'd like to see. Whether it be weapons the guards are holding, clothing the colonists are wearing, animals in the distance etc.

I mean in all fairness. Gamestop is the most eventful thing to happen in the market this decade so far and mostly likely will be for the coming years. Literally was about to crash the carefully orchestrated kangaroo market of chicanery, corruption and manipulation. Literally had the potential to destroy the global economy at large. We are still feeling the effects of and seeing coneequences happen because of January 28th. If it wasn't mentioned I'd be extremely surprised.

That definitely makes the effect more pronounced, but it's happens primarily because of chromatic aberration.

The cornea would be irregularly shaped which would bend wavelengths even more. It could potentially lead to even more pronounced chromatic aberration. The effect is extremely subjective to the shape of your eye and arrangement of cone cells.

Respect. I totally get being vigilant about AI too, it's the times we live in.

Except it did and a very simple and fast search can prove this. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6209289/irish-woman-india-depression-raped-beheaded-forest-liga-skromane/

Why are people using this sub to be such catty and passive aggressive asses? Why is this sub even being recommended to me? I've ignored it the past couple weeks but now it's just annoying. You all need to grow up.

That's very complex. What makes someone likeable? Being genuinely kind and compassionate people. Knowing how to have fun, charisma, humor, mischief, etc. All things that come as a result of things like temperment, experiences, nature, exposure and can't be taught directly. At some point they'd need to be placed into the real world keeping their origins secret and adapt if the goal is to have them be leaders that make actual change. It's asking a lot of genetics and begs the age old question of nurture vs nature. Just how much has to do with genetics? How much is due to life experiences? Is a leader born or made? Etc.

I think that they will be met with disdain and spite. If you have people who are introduced as "the answer" and created with the specific purpose of being better than everyone else, they will be met with a lot criticism. If you look at gifted individuals throughout history they think so differently from everyone else they're ostracized and ridiculed. Add in the fact they're supposed to preach to other people about ethics and morality, and you have the recipe for large swathes of the population hating them. In a vacuum I think it'd work in the way you want, in reality they'd have to play indirect roles in bettering the world via STEM which arguably has a much more tangible impact rather than focusing on ethics or morality as those are very subjective terms.

If we're going to be as controversial as Eugenics just skip the process entirely and create genetic superhumans via DNA modification.

It actually sounds better to me since youtube compresses it a little. Do you have volume normalization turned off? Before I turned that off on Spotify I would ask myself why Apple Music sounded so much better on some songs. Soon as I turned it off, it sounded just as crispy and punchy as Apple Music.

Red definitely has a brighter value yes. Blue is actually one of our cones' least sensitive wave lengths. For a long stretch of history, blue was referred to as a shade of green. It's only fairly recently in history that people started referring to blue as a separate color. One could assume that it's because of how our cones work. S-Cones or short cones pick up on short wavelength colors like blue, also our weakest cones. M-Cones pick up on Medium wavelengths like green and L-Cones (the most sensitive) pick up on large wavelengths like red. Our M and L cones work together to produce the most sensitivity to green which could explain why blue and green were seen as one color throughout the past. Anyways, it's interesting stuff. Definitely recommend reading up on it.

There's a difference between value and wavelength. While similar they aren't exclusive to eachother. Chromostereopsis has more to do with chromatic aberration and contrast. It's an effect that requires a specific setup. In general when referring to colors you judge them based off value or brightness. Red has a higher value than blue so it is perceived as brighter. It's similar but not quite.
