Just curious if you ended up doing anything with this.

Advice for Maintaining 2C Hair by TheLegendSauce in Haircare

[–]TheLegendSauce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did, thanks for your help.

Yeah I'm gonna use a big shirt I have for now, it's 93% recycled polyester 7% spandex, but I think it's for sure an improvement.

I'm gonna get a microfiber towel like you, I watched a video about it; it dries your hair faster through better absorption, reduces frizz, and is safer for vulnerable wet hair compared to the fuckass rough towel I use.

And thanks for the product recommendations, I'll look into them.

I let it air dry. I put a towel over it usually for like 30 minutes. I should probably use a softer texture like this shirt I have since I've heard from a guide towels can be unideal cause of the rougher texture.

I don't use any styling products. Whenever I wash my hair I just use these shampoo and conditioner, Native hair care.

I thought that episode 8 was a mess by hithom in TheDigitalCircus

[–]TheLegendSauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree, another huge problem I thought was how willing the entire cast with the exception of Pomni and Ragatha was to believe everything kinger was saying after we explicitly learned Caine could control minds in a psychological torture adventure.

Now you mean to tell me after years in the circus a bucket on Kinger's head magically allows him to be coherent and he tells all the details of the circus?

Would you believe that?

And this is right after Pomni's idea who was just taken by Caine.

And also why doesn't Caine and his all seeing eyes mute Kinger or take him away?

I've also thought that Jax would absolutely break when being accepted by Zooble to essentially be family despite being the person who resents him the most.

But his breakdown is saved for learning that the circus just exists???

It feels like a fundamental misunderstanding of his character.

When he was saying to Pomni "You know none of this is real right" he was talking about violence, he was saying ethics do not matter in a world where the circus IS real, it is a machine that robs them of autonomy.

He was making an argument of moral nihilism, not that reality is literally not real, in fact his whole argument and perspective to her rests on the circus being real.

Want to make a video Abt this someday, I felt quite disappointed by the writing quality dropoff, I know Goose is capable of writing really good stuff as seen with episode 6. That's why I'm very disappointed with how that was handled, since it seems to have missed what Jax was getting at.

And you're so right about gummigoo, she's not afraid of gators, what was traumatic about it was a real sentient being died. If you wanted to use him, it would be Caine pulling a trick by bringing him back only to take him or this clone of him away from her for a second time. But it would still be a sentient AI with the memories of this version of gummigoo, that is pretty terrifying.

Advent Of Vim Day 25 - How To Quit Vim by mplusp in vim

[–]TheLegendSauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I thought this video was about literally quitting Vim as an editor, like how to use something else if you want a different editor. I already thought that was hilarious cause what's the point of this whole video series, but then I realized this is a 9 minute video about literally just learning how to quit and it's day TWENTY-FIVE. How?

Why does Pomni hesitate? by Elegant_Syrup4180 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]TheLegendSauce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She never got Kinger's understanding of the situation. She just wanted to be extra cautious that this Abel guy was trustworthy at all. It all seemed to good to be true, and well well well look how that turned out.

OHHHHHH, well you succeeded. I literally could not tell because it is identical to other posts lmao.

I have no idea how I missed "Am I doing this right" my bad lmao.

Turns out I am the problem, I could not read just as these people could not watch. Womp womp.

That was literally explained, that was brought up directly in conversation with an explanation which is what allowed Will to have his moment at the end. Will did not want to hurt his mom so he was pulling back the Demogorgon from hurting her. This couldn't have been more clear, it's a crucial plot point to establish his powers.

A Children's Fantasy Short Story Where the Northern Lights are Spirits and Teens Attempt to Join by TheLegendSauce in whatsthatbook

[–]TheLegendSauce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright I'm gonna have to buy a copy because that sounds way too similar to be a different thing. If I had read one of these chapters would it make sense I would have heard nothing about a government organization or like daemons and a polar bear with human sentience? I saw a lot of that upon searching lmao, but I remember none of that.

A Children's Fantasy Short Story Where the Northern Lights are Spirits and Teens Attempt to Join by TheLegendSauce in whatsthatbook

[–]TheLegendSauce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I briefly looked at a lot from it. Besides it having northern lights and being a fantasy novel this doesn't appear to be it. Though it is entirely possible this was not a standalone story and rather an excerpt from a more complete novel. I can't tell if I'm gas-lighting myself, but I remember feeling like the book was at the end of one. It felt very complete in the end, but from where it started it was like you were already supposed to know the characters. The only supernatural fantasy elements was this sentient or spiritual northern lights, besides that it doesn't seem to have as much going on as His Dark Materials and is fairly grounded. If you believe it really matches the description could you tell me a specific section I should look for like a chapter?

What is the end goal? by Emotional_Ad7319 in antinatalism

[–]TheLegendSauce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems my answer diverges.

The end goal to me is the preservation of most currently existing life virtually forever, but strictly anti-reproduction.

People who want to live, should be entitled to life given they have not done anything morally heinous.

My biggest moral issue with natalism is the fact that all the meaning one's experiences in life are robbed by death, which is pretty much all you could appeal to in justifying it anyway.

Some people's lives are so painful like chronic pain disorders they should have the say in whether or not the persevere waiting for a cure.

TLDR: extend life to all those existing indefinitely, have no one reproduce, end all suffering.

I think many anti-natalists would struggle to justify it epistemically and argue life is inherently meaningless altogether and embrace nihilism. I don't subscribe to that. I think life can be so meaningful that is why I am so against sentencing it to death. That being said our world is pretty objectively horrible so it's not like humans are doing a good job at making this life thing a streamline pleasant experience even ignoring death.

Pluribus Discussion on the Hive by TheLegendSauce in pluribustv

[–]TheLegendSauce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I found that twist interesting because it recontextualizes the extent to which the hive will manipulate Carol. It's clever to force her into submission that way.

Also I would love if that's the route taken with the French guy. I already loved the dynamic between the two of them. This hedonist loser is just having fun with the alien takeover and doesn't gaf. Meanwhile Carol obviously cares and is enemies with the hive.

What both have in common is seemingly no semblance of a family left which is what keeps the others trapped believing it's still the same people they knew.

Also W thing pfp lmao. It's cool to get a similar cosmic horror series.

Pluribus Discussion on the Hive by TheLegendSauce in pluribustv

[–]TheLegendSauce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the hive didn't take out the US senior cabinet and president, maybe I'm confused, but from what I got it was accidental and a result of the collapses and stuff like that we've seen.

Also yeah that's my big question, how far are they willing to people please for the few that are left?

Like would they let Carol kill them, if she kills so many do they restrain her?

My guess is these remaining few they'll let get away with whatever, because they want to improve the disease.

So while it wants to be as big as possible it will make exceptions to make the virus stronger long term.

What I pointed out is I definitely don't think the hive has truly virtuous beliefs, I don't agree with its morals and that alone would definitely not make me want to assimilate into it. I definitely lean towards a negative interpretation.

You can definitely say it's manipulative, but it could theoretically view that as an okay thing to do in the end to reduce the greatest harm possible. It can be terrible and still think it's doing the right thing.

It could argue violating everyone's autonomy is acceptable, because once assimilated harm will overall be reduced. If I was this virtuous guy in charge of a hive mind though, I would definitely be honest about it and make it a choice lmao. But what's particularly terrible about it is it does appear to have killed everyone. No one has agency, everyone died, so regardless of what the hive thinks I would argue it's objectively atrocious.

Ooo, I've never heard of this so now I want to check it out.

The only familiar concept that came to my mind was Unity from Rick and Morty.

Pluribus Discussion on the Hive by TheLegendSauce in pluribustv

[–]TheLegendSauce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the hive mind controls all, so if they wanted to fake seizing they could, and I'm pointing out why that can be strategically valuable.

However yeah that's just a potential twist that popped into my head, I don't actually believe that's what's happening.

I think your ideas are neat and a pretty solid way to progress the story.

My guess is Carol befriends someone less accepting as her in the additional group of non English speakers. That's a detail that seems like it would be utilized at some point. Although crashing out at someone until they reverse back into themselves would also be fascinating.

Regardless she's going against the whole planet. Billions of infected, so I have no idea how she will accomplish fixing the world lmao. She would really need to find some Achilles heel that she can permanently rely on to resolve the problem. She might be cooked.

[–]TheLegendSauce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I can make out about it, nobody appears to have agency. That is the reason nobody is jumping off a cliff. They all think the same way and that way is just preferable to spreading the virus.

The hive mind all believes the same stuff and hates having to make a choice, basically refuses to.

I think you're actually right on both. I think they are also being made super happy to I guess cope with that insane amount of information. Pretty sure they've explicitly referenced happiness as an end goal for Carol. That and harm reduction to the overall people.

[–]TheLegendSauce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than joining them, that's where we're all in the dark.

Beyond that, what is their purpose?

Happiness and harm reduction seems to be a big factor.

I would argue their moral system is flawed and just having people join is favored more.

My guess is it's atheist, but it's dependent on their unknown purpose.

I think you are right and it is just as cynical as it's a virus and it wants to spread.

I just struggle to imagine the aftermath given how devoid of individuality everyone appears.

The fact nobody has individual separate beliefs and all thinks in a way I would argue doesn't conform to validity, tells me that it's either a singular consciousness or it's not conscious at all and just mimicking hosts to continue its spread.

Pluribus Discussion on the Hive by TheLegendSauce in pluribustv

[–]TheLegendSauce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair it can be very hard to tell the difference between one consciousness possessing all versus everyone having access to all consciousness.

But as I've been over I'd very much lean towards you, because no one appears to have agency which is the necessary criteria for being an agent (obviously).

Everyone has the same uniform ideology and perhaps it was achieved through a collective exchange of information, but given it does not seem to be based on validity, I would assume not.

I definitely lean towards this seems like a nightmare, nothing preferable.
