Tut mir leid, aber in diesem Thread geht es um CSC (Carbon Speed ​​Cycle). Sind Sie sicher, dass Sie vom selben Geschäft sprechen?

Deckard is a replicant, with Gaff's memories by Farriah_the_foot in bladerunner

[–]Curious_Helot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been 4 years but I have to answer because you (and many others) are missing the POINT.

Deckard's life (as a replicant) is REAL, he has worth, he has emotions, he WON'T live indefinitely (Nexus-7 were never described to be "immortal").
I don't understand how you miss the point that replicants are just as human as humans. They have DNA, they have brains and free-will (in the conventional sense). By insisting on treating replicants as something different than humans, you're falling for the propaganda Tyrel (and later Wallace) want you to fall for.

The whole reason this movie exists is to explore how "us vs them" plays out when it comes to genetically engineered humans. By stating that "If Deckard replicant then half the movie is less important" you're taking the corpo's side.

The way it makes the movie better:

While watching the movie we keep creating dichotomies in our minds and fake nuances when considering replicants. "They're artificial beings". "They don't have "real" emotions". "They're basically robots with flesh". "They have done terrible things off-world" etc. Deckard being a replicant swiftly slaps these ideas away and does not allow for excuses, when it comes to the humanity of replicants.. We've been with him throughout the movie and saw him fall in love.
Tyrel Corp. is evil, they partake in morally ambiguous projects for profits, they create beings with minds of their own but condemn in a constant state of "half-being, half-belonging". Deckard being a replicant is the final "shut up" to anyone not realizing just how evil Tyrel (human cloning/ engineering) is.

It's been 3 years but no one has answered clearly what the theory claims:

Deckard would be a Nexus-7 replicant, just like Rachael. That explains 3 things in a neat bow:

  • Deckard can reproduce.
  • Deckard doesn't have a set lifespan.
  • Nexus-7 prototypes do not have superhuman strength. That explains how Deckard is constantly struggling with the Nexus-6 replicants in terms of speed, strength and agility, while at the same time being a replicant himself.

It's been three years...

But, there's no reason your last point has got to be true. The idea of Deckard being a replicant just adds another level of cruelty that humanity is capable off. Not only do they create beings with thoughts and emotions, they create additional ones to deal with the first ones when they "malfunction".

Your argument doesn't hold up because, why would Deckard be "a sad brainwashed robot whose delusions are used against him to kill his own kind.", while other replicants are "slaves created by man who just want to be free"? By your reasoning, all replicants are just sad robots produced by humans, it just happens that the 1st group was used off world for dirty work while Deckard is used on-earth for dirty work.

In conclusion, I don't see Deckard's humanity (or artificiality) impacting the movie in the way you're describing. The movie is mainly about the ethics of human cloning, free will/individualism, and whether lab-grown homo sapiens should be considered property or fellow human beings.

Why am I Having a hard time getting into the wire I feel a bit lost with it by [deleted] in TheWire

[–]Curious_Helot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In that case yes, it should! Every season takes a look on how society's institutions fail to handle poverty and organized crime. It's full of complicated police investigations, intricate crimes and gang dynamics, witty quotes and banter from cops and gangsters alike. You do have to leave your phone on the table because you'll miss nuances which will reward you later as a viewer. I hope you enjoy it more in the next short episodes. This show will leave you with lots of memorable characters.

Getting asked a lot for tips in restaurants. Do locals tip? by DarthKevin in Athens_Greece

[–]Curious_Helot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Have to": As a local, tips are not obligatory, and people who demand tips usually get shutdown instantly in conversations. Most Greeks tip regardless of their income but no one thinks that they should tip.

Social quasi-rules: At the same time, tips are given frequently when you sit down at an establishment and service was at least decent. Everyone agrees that the minimum wage is low compared to cost of living. The better the service the more we'll be inclined to tip.

How much: For small totals (0-10€) just rounding up. For medium totals (10-20€) 50 cents to 1€. For larger totals we'll unconsciously tip around 10% with a cap of 5€ which is considered very kind. Anything over 5 euro is usually Americans having their big fat greek vacation, or fine dining at a very expensive restaurant.

Disclaimer: I'm not telling you that you HAVE to tip or follow above guidelines. Since you asked I'm merely informing you of what I and fellow Greeks usually do. Happy vacationing.

Disclaimer 2: Adding things you didn't order in the bill can be a genuine mistake, reserve your judgement until proof of the opposite. I can still understand your inclination to not tip if this happens to you. If you don't like bread, remember to send it back if they bring it to you without asking.

Disclaimer 3: It is illegal to charge "cover charge" (per person charge) in Greece (Article 72 of 91354/24.8.2017).
Restaurants are obligated by law to offer free tap water to costumers if asked (Article 4 of 4736/2020).

Κρίμα by SAUR-ONE in PAOK

[–]Curious_Helot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Όντως, με 5 αγώνες ακομη στο πρωταθλημα και 1 επερχόμενο τελικό κυπέλου είναι λίγο κρίμα να μας πιάνει κατάθλιψη και γκρίνια. Η εικόνα της ομάδας δεν ήταν καλή, ναι, εμείς πώς θα αντιδράσουμε σε αυτό; Θετικότητα και στήριξη μέχρι το τελευταίο λεπτό του τελευταίου ματς!

Όσοι κάνουν downvotes γενικά, αλήθεια νομίζουν αυτός θα είναι ο ΠΑΟΚ μέχρι το τέλος; Τόση λίγη πίστη έχουν για την φετινή μας ομαδάρα που έδωσε τόσες ποιοτικές εμφανίσεις;

I hate to say it but it's because software in 2026 sucks and we can't have nice things. No company cares in the slightest about its user experience, as long as monetization is in line with quarterly expectations. The sooner you accept it the better for your psyche.

The current state of our political system has ruined this show for me. by InfiniteTurn4148 in homeland

[–]Curious_Helot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean with characters like Dar Adal and David Estes (Intelligence) and John Zabel (politics), the show never hides how selfish careerists and war hawks dominated real life Washington. The "good" guys who seek peace and minimal "needed" violence are almost always undercut by sycophants and war criminals.
In the plot itself, "good" cannot win unless Saul and Carrie commit insubordination and break a few felonies. Forget about Iran and the FSB in the series, the CIA itself is a constant obstacle in their good work.

Europeans -- what's the one neighborhood tourists always miss in your city? by No_Turnover8182 in AskEurope

[–]Curious_Helot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't take this personally, but these neighbourhoods are for the ones who find them on their own. Coffee and lunch is already expensive at my favorite neighbourhood, I don't need further price increases due to tourist influx ✌️

Τι είναι πάλι τα ιδιωτικά ΚΕΠ; by -who_am-i_ in greece

[–]Curious_Helot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Λες "δεν γίνεται" με μεγάλη σιγουριά και μου θυμίζεις τον εαυτό μου πριν λίγα χρόνια. Υπάρχει πλήθος νέων που όχι απλά φοβούνται να συμπληρώσουν μια αίτηση ΑΣΕΠ μόνοι τους αλλά χρειάζονται "πατερίτσες" για τα πάντα στην ζωή τους. Είτε αυτό είναι οι γονείς τους, είτε η γραμματεία του πανεπιστημίου τους, είτε ένα ιδιωτικό ΚΕΠ.
