Can you take a moment and imagine some possibilities of taking input directly from someone’s mind and applying it without needing to use your body? I know moving a mouse doesn’t seem impressive, but it demonstrates success at a technological concept that still seems impossible. I can’t speak for the ethics because I don’t know how voluntary the subjects are for the research, but this is very exciting for me, because it will inevitably become more sophisticated.

Do you think we’ll get to that advanced level of use without experiments? And do you think that this is wrong despite consent to the procedure?

Your criticisms are reasonable ones.

Unrelated, but I’ve never seen someone use the word “assume” that way before. It technically works, I think?

Hey cool! I’m native and I still don’t always know if the way I’m talking is correct, but nobody really cares. If they do and take issue with it, it’s not worth worrying about.

What do you think about this?

Someone told me that if you keep your gaze fixed and imagine a completely black circle right above someone’s head, what you are actually doing is telepathy… so far I haven’t researched more about it but I have noticed that some strange things happen when I do that, I see spirals and the vision looks different, could...

Combined with the human hyper sensitivity of being looked at, probably.

And I think it’s a result of our evolutionary trait of being very sensitive to people looking at us. If we see someone out of the corner of our eye looking at us it alerts us. And if we truly can’t see them, we can’t tell at all, but checking to see if they’re looking at you makes them feel stared at, so they’ll look at you back. Is that confusing?

Wikipedia sums it up well. In proper scientific tests, it’s fruitless.

I have a question. Do you truly think it’s more likely that something extraordinary is occurring, rather than concluding humans aren’t built perfect? Or is it more exciting to believe that something cool and magical is happening, and you perhaps choose to pursue that possibility?

The scientific method aims to refine theories based on new and best available evidence. There isn’t compelling scientific evidence supporting telepathy, but the fallibility of human vision is extensively documented. So how come you think it’s 50/50?

inconspicuouscolon,

You are cherry picking and only acknowledging information that supports telepathy. You are ignoring the evidence against it, which takes majority. Why?

inconspicuouscolon,

Scientific evidence is through experiments using the scientific method, which tries to eliminate bias. The wikipedia article provides both adequate and inadequate experiments. You are biased and you’re “testing” in uncontrolled environments. You could hardly call it evidence.

Downloading/torrenting kids cartoons

Hey all. noob-ish pirate here. Skipping long winded post. I’m struggling to find sources to download/torrent kids cartoons. Some are easy, but I’m looking for paw patrol and it’s scarce on 1337. The more modern stuff and the super popular stuff are a little easier though. Not really any information on the Wiki about this...

Hey hey, great suggestion. I do actually have stremio + torrentio + real debrid set up, works really well! Thing is, I’ve been getting some errors with Real Debrid on Paramount+ kids shows. Seems like they’re cracking down on those torrents or something? Anyway those I’ve just been downloading manually instead, but it’s made me want to download more stuff just in case the streaming setup becomes less consistent :p

Oh nooooo!!! I’ve definitely had that before… Always regret it when I delete media files, I just save them all now and if I HAVE to save space I compress them.

inconspicuouscolon,
@inconspicuouscolon@lemy.lol avatar

OOOOO I don’t know why I haven’t tried this before! Guess I thought 1137 was an adequate search engine? This is seriously awesome, thanks for showing me.

inconspicuouscolon,
@inconspicuouscolon@lemy.lol avatar

Well the torrents are there, I just can’t access them, gives me some weird screen. And if I manually convert the torrent to a download link through real debrid, it says it’s not allowed to do that or something. But torrenting it myself works fine.

Love Bluey and especially Hilda! I’ll check the other’s out, thank you. Definitely ideal if I can wean them off of the more annoying kids shows… The little man is into Spider-Man and Sonic right now, and the littler ma’am LOVES Frozen and Skye from Paw Patrol.

Does TheRarbg have the same aggregate of content that Rarbg did, or is it a migration sort of deal? Thank you for sharing.

@inconspicuouscolon@lemy.lol avatar

LMAO It’s better left alone but you can’t help but need to make sure it’s complete. I’m the same about my music, if anything is improperly tagged or named inconsistent I fix it- it’s compulsory I swear.

They’re both toddlers, about a year apart. The littler one is still into the younger target audience content and she is very picky! Thank you for the suggestion <3

The words we let her mispronounce because it’s so cute is balloon (Babloon!) and Restaurant (Resternot!!)

I think I originally checked it out after watching an LTT video on a gaming distro, because i liked computers and I was pretty good at them. Not sure if I was the problem or the distro but it was pretty bad. Still fell in love.

Now I appreciate the open source aspect, but I still like it because I can do more with it and learn in the process.

Whoops, I think they meant software support, like how long the phone is updated for. Hopefully this still helps.

My parents have switched over to barefoot shoes, not exclusively per my suggestion but in conjunction with a friend of my mom’s singing its praises.
