NOPE

Depends on the context. Nothing early planned the next day? 

Am I weird for wanting to run away and live as a hermit in the Canadian shield?

It's not really the HL appeal that gets me coming back but the vibe that's unique to only Ross. Everything is caked with nuance which makes it all feel believable- I actually *believe* in Freeman as a real character, which is more than I can say about a lot of other series I watch. 

We all had Uncle Zeb

What do you call it when a restaurant takes inventory of it's shortening every 4 weeks?

No, that's just dishonesty.

Am I weird for choosing not to repair a dent on my car? It's purely a cosmetic deficit.

Space is an extremely general term when you think about it. Which call it cosmos

Yeah if you are twelve, or have room temperature IQ.  Agree about Half-Life though. Every few years I try to force myself to grind through the second game and always end up tapping out from boredom by the time I reach the antlions. 

But Freeman's Mind is a great piece of media- I try to recommend to as many people as possible, I've even got complete gaming philistines to love it.

It's functionally indistinguishable from how you would act if you didn't have sources.

 

Speaking of sources, I have studied computer engineering I know how microchips and other circuits actually work, but even if you had studied biology to a high-school level you'd know that the idea of controlling someone through microchips in their bloodstream is nonsense, because the brain is separated from the circulatory system by a barrier that lets through only oxygen, nutrients, and hormones: any "microchip" would be both too big and too extraneous to pass through. And before you bring up drugs, the reason they work is because they resemble molecules our body actually uses to give feedback to the brain, so they can pass through.

 

If you'd gotten curious and looked up how the brain actually works, you'd know that we barely understand what certain areas are responsible for, because not only is it too complex to model like we would a computer, but also because it changes constantly as it learns and grows. So "hacking" it is not really possible.

I don't think he is saying they would control people like in Naked Gun, only turn them into a walking data-points. But there is still a million reasons why that can't work.

Wow. You speak with such authority, and you clearly haven't been paying attention. There are mainstream uses of these microchips. Again, it's not a secret, it's not a conspiracy (that is to say a "hidden agenda" as opposed to the erroneous popular usage of the word meaning "false story"), it's already been used for a long time in the medical field first and foremost.

 

>crackpot

 

I purposely didn't cite sources to tease out just how uninformed responses would be. You don't count anymore since I said all this, but let's see what others have to say.

 

>will generate so much entropy it will be impossible to hide it. 

 

That's so deep.

 

I'm not dismissing microchipping. It's just the scale/logistics of what you're describing here is completely bananas. 

There a million different networking protocols and everyone and their grandmother has their own spin on it. A few years ago, I had to make a utility that can p2p with a x-platform app running on both ios and android. The obvious solution is to use Bluetooth, but the problem was that Apple only supported this on other Apple devices. So it had to be BLE instead which is snails pace.

So yeah, I think it's extremely unlikely that every major router manufacturer and/or Telecom company in the world actually agreed on something and came up with some standardized way of providing access points for microchips with no antennas to send data to. 

Even if they did, they wouldn't be able to keep it a secret. Wireless networking isn't black magic. It's radio based and anyone can pick up on it, even if it's encrypted. 

Woah, woah, woah guys. If you are going to fling shit at least back it with some creativity that somehow relates to the topic at hand, this is just trite facebook tier worthlessness.

What is this even about?
