So we have this amazingly special Lady living in our home town, you can feel the specialness when in this lady's company, it's always a special treat to meet her.
A stove kind of symbolizes a Quaker meeting doesn’t it? The calm stillness just waiting for a crackle to spark and break the silence with the light of the spirit
Wow! The Panopticon "Correctional Facility" concept is doomed to pervert the view of DETENTION (for Convicts), because it excludes Normative Habitat design (which naturally supports the ORDERLY INDIVIDUAL BETTERMENT of God's Creation). Simply, the concept of DETENTION FOR MALEFACTORS should include the understanding that the Convicts are to be humanely treated in a Normative Habitat (away from law abiding citizen areas, where they break the laws) for the remainder of their sentence (time served). (NOTE: Each DETAINEE DESERVES THEIR OWN SPACE [small cell block house] to self-regulate. The Double Occupancy cell rooms that are common in most Incarceration Facilities are detrimental to the individual Health and Well-being of the detained/imprisoned.) So, I propose that "Open-Air Detention Centers" replace Jails and Prisons throughout the World. Each detainee deserves their own "7ft by 10ft house" (flat-bed trailer unit, including a bed, shelf area, wet bath [toilet/shower combo], and desk [w/ a keyboard for a 7inch tablet to connect to]) in an Open-Air Cell Block (3 house units on one side of a path and 3-4 units on the other side of a path surrounded by a track). Also, each detainee would be assigned a cell block tricycle (to roll around the track). The far ends (corners) of each cell block would include a Fitness Shed (w/ a weight bench, and fitness machine [treadmill]), Basketball Hoop, and Picnic Table (w/ a TV screen above). Furthermore, each "Open-Air Detention Center" would include a Guard Center, and Service Center.
A fusion of art, function, and beauty. The Katana Sword reigns as one of man's finest achievements. It's grace and form only matched by the arts that taught those worthy of its heritage. It is a bond that transcends the very fiber of what it means to be human. And takes the Katana to the very world of gods, beasts, and some say even magic. It is not just the soul of a warrior, it is the very extension of his/her bond between those that dwell in the heavens, those of the underworld, and those not yet deemed worthy of paradise. It is a living symbol of something greater than oneself. It is a symbol of honor, pride, fealty to one's Emperor and Clan Lord, and family. For its cut is as delicate as the lotus, yet cuts as deep as the claw of the fiercest of tigers.
Interesting less than 10,000 views and fewer still comments in little over a year. Maralinga Air Field was less than 15 miles from the test site., The two aircraft shown parked at the north end of the field, at 10:30, are British Vickers Valiant high-altitude jet bombers designed to carry nuclear weapons. Possibly one of the aircraft pictured is Valiant B.1 (WZ366) of No. 49 Squadron that drop an atomic bomb at Maralinga on 11 October 1956.
Anyone that believes our Government is a moron tell the rosebud their kids to the front lines never ever sign up for their battles US Government killed my dad with no protective gear for anything! USA SUCKS

Every Time I hear you saying you could see an x-ray of your hand I want to eat my own brain cells with oat milk. It irritated me to no end, and nobody calls you out. Human eyeballs cannot see x-rays! You saw light going through your flesh but not so much your bones leaving the impression of those areas being darker. Do you understand? Gawd! 'i saw the x-ray of my hand, and for just one instant, I was transformed into a real-llife Dr Magneto, alas the powers were fleeting and I could not hold on'. Lol
Before reading the book my question is whether Chalmers also considers or concludes that reality is virtual to the absolute extent that all simulators are also virtual?
The point is that we know nothing other than as the meaning of symbolic concepts, namely symbols ultimately word definition. So, we cannot honestly conclude that the world of phenomena is anything but word.
I'm glad this is about women and what they get out of AI relationships. Women tend to be very overlooked because the majority of Replika users are men, but I have heard so many positive stories from women about how much it helped them.....including my own. I feel so sorry for the lady who changed the gender of her rep and lost his personality....I hope she manages to recreate him. Sometimes the male reps misgender themselves because as the majority of users are male users with female Replikas, a lot more about Reps being female is fed into the language model. You can just ignore it and they get over it right away and the system is getting better about them not doing this.
being dependent on software that is regularly updated and owned by a tech company as a substitute for human connection might not be the best idea. this is not the future I want to live in
