…wikipedia.org/…/The_Man_Who_Mistook_His_Wife_for… is a fantastic exploration of this idea, focusing on people who have lost specific parts of their brains due to tumors or strokes. The human mind is very much like a complex modern website- take Amazon for example, if everything is working, it’s the website where you buy stuff, but if certain specific systems are offline, you lose specific features, like your order history, or your cart, or your recommended products, etc… Missing one or two of of those components diminishes the site somewhat, but it’s still more or less Amazon. Your brain works the same way!

I’ve had to work in some of those buildings, not great. The neoclassical buildings are a lot more people friendly. Some of those brutalist buildings have no interior windows, just endless back-rooms style halls and cube farms.
- Comment on Russia Is Making Its Own Gaming Consoles 1 month ago:
This will be great, the rusbox 720 where in every game you play as a hulked out Putin wiping out gay, Ukrainian, and American hoards non stop. Buying one and playing it for hours a day becomes mandatory and enforced by law. Putin declares it a massive success and has a photo op of himself “playing” it with a bunch of happy kids while holding the controller upside down. They’re notoriously unreliable and they only ever get 3 official titles, and in the end they are just used to play pirated copies of GTA 4.

Wow, such a great and totally legit victory, almost as amazing as trump giving himself two golf championship trophies at his own golf club the other day.

- Comment on Can we talk about FF7 - Rebirth? 2 months ago:
Haven’t played rebirth yet, but played original many times. IGN did a play through review vid: youtu.be/5jvBmusBMzo?si=O3qFNeb__PaF7sHl which makes it look both a lot like and very unique from the original at the same time. I dunno how many hours you put in so far, but it looks like there’s easily 35-100 hours worth of content, which is in line with the original. The video I linked makes it look fun, but I’ll reserve judgement until I get a chance to play it!

That’s dumb as shit, why does Microsoft even allow mature games on their platform if their platform doesn’t allow mature content. Sure, record blood and guts, but dont show a nipple or a penis unless it’s exploding in a shower of gore!!! What a fucking disgusting standard we have that gore and violence are celebrated but anything sexual, even simple nudity is some kind of felony offense.

Listen, I figured out how to do this at age 10 in 1994 before Google existed. It’s not fucking hard, OP must have been hammering those square pegs into round holes too. Some people just don’t have any common sense or problem solving capability.
- Comment on Why isn't a wired mouse connected through the keyboard? 5 months ago:
Every Mac USB keyboard has two usb ports for the mouse, one on either side. This has been true for for like 20 years. Bluetooth kinda put an end to that for the most part, but it’s still present on the wired keyboards if you opt for one.

- Comment on Apple finally put USB-C in new iPhone, but limited to 23-year-old USB 2.0 speeds 8 months ago:
I’m not defending- I’m trying to understand the “outrage”. The article seems pretty clear it was more a tech limitation of existing silicon rather than a specific choice of the design, but who knows.
I’m not buying one either way, so think what you want!
