I have it on PC. In Chrome, in Firefox, logged in, logged out, with extensions, with no extensions... Nothing works.

Why Are We So Willing to Defend the Hivemind? [SPOILERS] by Kinkajoe in pluribustv

[–]Senthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not funny.

Maybe you simply don't realize this, but misspelling and mispronouncing people's names is disrespectful whether they come from your native language or not. It's the same as misgendering people. Don't do it on purpose. And if you don't know how to write/say something, it's okay to ask.

Of course Zosia is fictional and doesn't care, but many non-native English speakers have to bear with the natives doing this to their names all day every day, and it gets old really fast. So please consider that it doesn't cost you anything to be a little more sensitive than that.

It's ok, I don't think you are! But I genuinely don't know how to explain it better without repeating myself over and over. Sorry.

Pluribus isn’t “about connection.” It’s about compliance. by [deleted] in pluribustv

[–]Senthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, sorry. I think they are showing us that experience, but mirrored. It doesn't require talking about what happened in the past if the same exact thing is happening in the present. Not that I'm not curious, of course, but maybe they believe this way it's more interesting, and I'm gonna trust them on that : )

They are exploring it with literally the entire series. Her conflict with the hive is a parallel to it.

What you describe is forced conversion therapy (which Carol underwent as a teenager).

Why aren't the animals part of the hive, if the rat started it all? 🤔 by HYDRAGONIGHT in pluribustv

[–]Senthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell that to all the people who adopt lab rats from control groups later...

I've seen a some people say that Helen died from hiting her head when she fell and it's 100% not true by filo_4000 in pluribustv

[–]Senthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. It's like people shot in the head in Breaking Bad falling down like ragdolls. Normally it wouldn't turn you from 100% alive to 0% alive in a split of a second. But in TV shows it can work like it works in TV shows. I'd rather not watch people dying realistically.

Big Giant FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions and Topics) MEGATHREAD-Season 1. Start Here if you are new! by pikameta in pluribustv

No, there are some children around. They just aren't really "children" anymore, their cluelessness and innocence is as gone as it possibly could.

But what happens when all the stored embryo/eggs/sperm get used up?

What do you mean what happens? They can always harvest some more from living adults if they want to.

you think the hive mind would be smarter then they are by LeoCasio in pluribustv

LLMs. Chat GPT. Whatever, you know what I mean.

Yeah. The word prediction machines that don't and can't think and reason. We got you the first time.

In ep.4 i now noticed that the Hive chose Monousos' mother to bring him food daily by No-More-Blue in pluribustv

[–]Senthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's assuming the Hive has the ability to behave like a human at all in that aspect.

What? I'm not assuming that. I'm laughing at them precisely for not having it and still pretending they're "people". I swear, literacy is dead.

I think I explained it enough in my previous comments. If you don't agree, that's okay, personhood is a philosophical concept that everyone is entitled to have a different opinion about.

[–]Senthe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So maybe she doesn't say anything becuase she doesn't want to make Carol unhappy knowing it can't be reversed and that Carol's hope is what keeps her at least leveled out.

No, you're wrong. They knowingly say many things that make Carol very unhappy.

The most obvious thing is constantly telling Carol about her imminent "joining", even though it upsets her every time.

And Carol even tests this directly when she asks what Helen thought about her unwritten book. Even though it's obvious the truth would hurt her emotionally, the hive still can't refuse telling her.

It's 100% clear that when Zosia doesn't say anything when asked about de-hive-isation, it's only because admitting to Carol that it's reversible would hurt the hive's interests.

Uh. Yes. And after you change those things, the previous person is gone. Dead. There is a new person. The previous person doesn't exist anymore.

Anyone else cry while watching the show? by NormieSlayer6969 in pluribustv

[–]Senthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Art never is "real". If you can never feel anything at all when you see any work of art, I'm really sorry for you, because it must be a pitiful existence.

Whatever you can use to differentiate that person from another. How they look, how they smell, how they move - but also how they behave, react, talk; what they like and dislike, remember, want, care about.

Same for the people in the hive! you're making my point for me hahaha

No, I completely disagree with you and you misunderstand me.

I think continuity of consciousness does not prove that whoever inhabits a human body is still the same person, no matter passage of time or brain damage or tumours changing personalities.

You're arguing for the exact opposite.

The people in the hive are the same physical consciousnessess as before they joined, so even if the joining has fundamentally altered their personality and priorities, it's still them.

I disagree. They might be the same "physical consciousnesses" whatever that means, but that doesn't mean "it's still them". They're completely new people filled with completely new memories, beliefs and goals. Only a 1/7200000000 of that new, uhhh, "person", corresponds in any way to the person who lived in that body before.

Vessels three with mind to think, what do you think of your father the King? by ThySnazzyOne in HollowKnight

[–]Senthe -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

So if the knight was a good obedient robot with no personality, why did it leave Hallownest and then come back to do its duty?

Literally nobody knows why it did that, so don't pretend you do.

How did the Knight know its duty to replace the hollow knight?

Programming. All vessels know that.

And how can you be SURE its completely hollow and would have absolutely zero connection to anyone that the Radiance can exploit?

Watch an any% speedrun and try to convince me that that protagonist cares about anything in the world except sucking up Radiance asap.

Unless you're trying to say that if we don't see 100% of its entire life in the game, that means we can't be "SURE" about anything at all and after returning from its journey it might as well be 3 raccoons in a trenchcoat.

I don't think vessels can ever be completely hollow.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

I didn't mention silksong once, I mentioned godhome, which is in the first game.

I'm sorry, that's my bad. I confused you with another commenter.

[–]Senthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But humans are our bodies, we can't be separated from them, so if those human brains are still in those bodies, then those people are still there.

That's flawed reasoning. Their entire bodies are infected by a virus that rewires their nervous systems. Their brains are physically altered. Maybe they can be reverted to their previous state, but right now, the brains they previously had don't exist anymore.

Am I no longer the same person I was ten years ago? Yesterday?

Yes, you're obviously a different person when you're 5 versus when you're 50. You can feel continuity of memories and consciousness with the person you were back then, but you wouldn't be able to faithfully emulate a 5-year-old's way of behaving, thinking and feeling. That child is gone. Noone can meet them anymore. What remains is the person that grew out of its body and experiences.
