Let's imagine that organs can be perfectly grown in a lab and installed into a body without any chance of rejection or other complications usually associated with organ transplant.

You, a perfectly healthy adult human, go to the doctor and have them put a second heart in your chest that is connected to the circulatory system with your original heart.

What would be the effects of this? Could it even be done in this hypothetical situation at all?

So I've been on BARQ since discovering it a few years ago (roughly a few months after it launched) and had a few random conversations through it but never did much on it since there wasn't that many people on it period, let alone within distance of me to be useful as it's intended dating purposes.

All of a sudden, though, I am getting hella random friend requests on Discord all saying they got my link from BARQ and talking in a way I am all too familiar with seeing from scams on Tinder and other mainstream dating apps. Like, the first time I started talking to them and it seemed normal at first but then I mentioned getting diagnosed with autism a few years ago and they respond with "I hope you get well soon." So I ask if they are local and they say "Totally. What about you?"

Am I just that socially fucked up or are these not normal responses to these things? What the fuck do you mean am I also local? How do you not know that autism isn't just something you have for a few days like a cold?

Let's say I took a bunch of different characters from various media; a head, 2 arms, 2 legs and a torso, glued them together and then traced over to create a more homogenized image... Is that a new thing? A remix? Or ripping other's work off?

I've just had this idea for a while (wanna try making my fursona from photos of a dog for the head and my own body for the body) and got curious if this proposed technique was done using others' material would be a violation or if it would be more like a remix.

I just randomly remembered something about Steam coming to PlayStation, in a capacity where you could just access your chats/groups and upload content to your media center (not playing/streaming games at all) which made me wonder why it's not still a thing, but I can't find a single fuckin' thing about this... Did... Did I just make this shit up subconsciously? 🤨

From the big announcement post:

Caused by a child process ending without properly cleaning up

Put the child process in time out for their bad behavior. And if it continues to act up, no more cookies!

Dude, this game is pretty decent. I had been saying Lies of P is the closest Fromsoft soulslike but LOTF is also up there with it. It has a little bit of every FS game in its bones, plus the world shifting gimmick also gives it notes of Soul Reaver.

The only thing I can even say negative about it is that the story feels a bit like it's trying to be edgy and dark for the sake of being edgy and dark. Oh, and the mimics are absolute bullshit.

I've been seeing these kinds of memes a lot and it finally had me think "well shit, maybe I should go see the movie." But then I was like, "Hey wait a minute... Maybe this is like that Morbius thing."

Y'all playin' or is the Minecraft movie this next generation's Rocky Horror Picture Show?

Finally actually sat down to complete the game and I immediately noticed the script carved into tablets and walls in the final area of the game. It looks like it could be cuneiform writing. Which made me wonder if it actually is, and if it translates to anything.

I know the puppet language has been translated; I can't find anything about these cuneiform looking carvings tho.

This has been bugging me for a while, and I don't know where else to really ask (this feels like the best place for this specific question); but how do you know what mod did what in the modlog? I've rarely ever seen the modlog actually state what mod/admin performed the action. Can get the user of the comment and even the undeleted text of their comment if it's a comment removal; does not show the mod/admin who actually handled it.

Just noticed a comment was removed for "not crossing the line but close to violating the TOS" and I wanna talk to whoever pulled that dumbass shit. I don't think it's a power trip to make a "report" about it here, I just wanna know what the fuck kind of stupid bullshit reasoning that is and the modlog does not show who the moderator that removed it was.

There is a stray in my apartment complex that was part of a litter born on my porch the day I moved in that greets me almost every time I leave. I call him Cosmo but I know the lady who lives above me calls him Bob. And I also know that he is fed by at least 8 other people around the complex, which got me wondering: What do they call him?

I have not once actually connected to another player in this game and I do not know why. I have PS+, I have the game in online mode, I even have the "worldwide" option set to be able to connect to literally anyone.

Beckoning Bell never has others players show up (or any "signs" if they are like the NPC summons).

Resonating Bell never summons me anywhere. I don't know if it works like summon signs in DS/ER where another player will see something to summon me where I was standing when I used it, or if it's like the effigies in Elden Ring where you just get summoned if the game finds a match; but I have tried using it around lamps, at boss doors, etc.

I can't even seem to invade anyone! Maybe I have the wrong bell? I have the sinister resonating bell and I get the feeling from the on screen prompt when using it that it's more like the dueling shit from DS where I am not forcing my way in, but being invited. All I know is that I haven't been able to invade with this either.

What gives? I see notes and ghosts all over the place so I know there is still an online presence in the game. Is it because I am on PS5 and not a PS4? Why can I not connect to anyone? 😩
