[lilac quarry]

in a good way?

how have you been? welcome back, jewel crafter extraordinaire

[half kettle]

i want to know what its like to be shot without dying

[toxic hawk]

a sudden impact, and a very sharp pain

[half kettle]

will the affected area be hot

[toxic hawk]

inflammed yeah

[half kettle]

i imagine fast travelling metal = heat

[toxic hawk]

no, hot as in trauma = inflammation = body heat

[half kettle]

can ur body naturally heal from a bullet wound if it exits ur body

or do you need to deal with the 2 way tunnel in your body somehow

[toxic hawk]

it can heal, depending on wound severity

many world war 2 veterans returned home with bullets lodged inside them

sometimes extracting an old foreign body is too risky, and even unnecessary to do

so you just leave it there

[candid patio]

Heal is an interesting word

A bullet wound that exits your body and only damages tissue...
I feel like without modern medicine you would most likely die

[toxic hawk]

ah, i didnt see he said there would be an exit wound

[lilac quarry]

100%

[toxic hawk]

sorry

[plush cobalt]

Nah I'd win

[toxic hawk]

anyways yeah, with an exit wound; the depth of the injury would too severe to heal on it's own, and if bloodloss doesnt kill you, sepsis would

or organ failure depending on where you were hit

[candid patio]

But with antiseptics and sutures... You will probably live... But I think even the best case scenario you are going to feel that injury for the rest of your life

So never 100% heal

But sure you can mostly recover

[stable oar]

theres a reason why body armor covers mainly the chest and abdomen, its where all the important parts live

[toxic hawk]

femoral artery

jugulars, carotides

[half kettle]

how crude!

[dire timber]

Anime protagonists: I twisted my body at the last moment for the bullet to avoid my vital organs

[stable oar]

not that there arent other important parts ofc

[half kettle]

can missing flesh be regenerated

[stable oar]

matrix ahh plot armor

[toxic hawk]

depends on how much

[quick ether]

.

[half kettle]

hmm

[candid patio]

What is the modern treatment for this? Do they still cauterize wounds?

[half kettle]

lets say a 30 centimeter hole

big wound pretty much

[candid patio]

A 30 cm hole is absurdly large

[toxic hawk]

embolise bleeding vessals, treat any choc symptoms, then let the wound heal on its own (sutures of course)
it will be covered with antisepctic bandaging, changed regularly, and surveyed for complications

[faint canyon]

Cauterization is highly discouraged nowadays

[candid patio]

That's bigger than a dinner plate

[toxic hawk]

a 30cm whole is a whole organ and a half

you're dead from blood loss alone

[half kettle]

rip

[faint canyon]

The burns cauterization causes can be more dangerous than the wound depending

[candid patio]

A 30 cm hole in your legs is most of both your legs

Like you definitely don't have 2 legs anymore

[stable oar]

one time i accidentally sliced through the side of my left thumb (stupid) creating a small flap, it healed fine without special treatment

as long as its not causing an immune response from FOD or an infection the tissue is fairly good at repairing itself

[toxic hawk]

i dont know about burns, from what i learnt, an injection is used to obstruct the bleeding

[dire timber]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/786597133821542440/809657688727355443/Screenshot_20210212-003010_TachiyomiJ2K.jpg?ex=69458bbb&is=69443a3b&hm=bc731f5d3151e2b7bb9b5fa4da14dd92e983df2613160363637a6b0210c949bf&

[candid patio]

A small flap is completely different than a gaping hole

[stable oar]

i know

[toxic hawk]

they didnt suture you ?

[stable oar]

no, it wasnt that severe

[toxic hawk]

anyways, moral of the story is, try not to get a hole blown through you

[stable oar]

dont get shot

[toxic hawk]

or blown up, or fall from a great height

or get impaled

or get into a vehicular accident

and practice safe sex

[rain mango]

i got a 96.75% on my math final!! ^_^

[bronze moat]

Well done

[toxic hawk]

Neko

Neko

[candid patio]

Embolize... It seems like that is introducing some kind of clotting agent?

[toxic hawk]

Neko

[stable oar]

dont think anyone here really has to worry about that one

Also RUBBER DUCKIES!!

[toxic hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/ducks-gif-21889005

1 2 3 4 my baby dont mess around because i know she love me

[bronze moat]

I once told a rando in game that I had 45 rubber duckies in my butt.

I was not lying

[toxic hawk]

Define butt

[bronze moat]

Butt in arc Raiders = safe pocket.

I run with a 3 safe pocket loadout.

15 ducks per stack. 3 stacks.

45 rubber duckies in my butt

[toxic hawk]

i like big butts and i cannot lie

so convienient

[bronze moat]

I mean…. I also fit wolf pack grenades up there.

Rarest grenade. I can craft em :3

[toxic hawk]

if you can craft them, they aren't rare are they

[candid patio]

That's some crazy medical advancements, huh?
Went from oh my God that guys bleeding, let's burn it to make it stop to let's sprinkle some magic dust on it

[toxic hawk]

it only gets better

i hope

[candid patio]

I miss when I was a child and I thought doctors were legit ass wizards who could do magic

Lvl 100 White magic type shit

[toxic hawk]

MAgic pills that slow your heart and and lowers your blood pressure

[rain mango]

magic pills that make you a girl

i want those

:(

[narrow rune]

I've been alright, bit of a rough patch but I do the best I can. Just trying to keep up with school and stuff, I actualy just got diagnosed with ADHD today to very little surprise which was funny so I might be getting medicated. Other than that I've been working hard on electrical work and going to cool jobs like this church my class is wiring

[toxic hawk]

maybe in the future

well wait

idk how to respond

by saying maybe in the future, am i implying people who take HRT arent the gender they say they are

[rain mango]

no

[toxic hawk]

Oh no I bought the wrong size

[harsh vault]

thats what he said

[strange spruce]

waow

[candid patio]

1. It's old and worn.
2. It's not "dust" but I will concede that it's not the cleanest it could be
3. Coffee still tastes good.
   Bonus point:
   ||Fuck you||

[shrewd smelt]

Extra protein with all those dust mites.

[tender igloo]

learning about those in school grossed me out so badly, when my mom picked me up i held myt breath in the car until i got yelled at for it lol

[rain mango]

coffee is dogshit

[strange spruce]

[uncut epoch]

my jolly reaction

[harsh vault]

but but

[rain mango]

guys

how do i stealth kill properly in pz

with short blades

do i wait for zombies to enter their attack/grab animation before stabbing

because i keep fucking it up

and half the time i end up just giving them the london special

stabstabstab

[plush cobalt]

The character moves their offhand slightly

[strange spruce]

do better!

[harsh vault]

im tryingggg

;w;

[rain mango]

yes i know

i click as soon as they lift their hand

[plush cobalt]

Then perhaps it's a skill issue

[harsh vault]

@strange spruce help me or else

[rain mango]

does panic play a part?

because i took the cowardly trait

alcoholic got annoying

[harsh vault]

hai omar

i like ur new pfp

[karmic jetty]

[harsh vault]

[plush cobalt]

Thank you I am anti-jolly

[harsh vault]

how was ur sleep

[harsh vault]

anti-jolly people dont have manners

thus you are jolly

[strange spruce]

with wat

[harsh vault]

make me more jolly

[plush cobalt]

Pardon me, I don't have manners

[harsh vault]

smh

[strange spruce]

dats up to u!!!

[harsh vault]

[plush cobalt]

[neat moat]

youre a mean one

Mr Omar

you really are a bitch

You smell of basement dweller, you really are a chud

mr oooomar

[harsh vault]

no u

[strange spruce]

counterpoint

bleeeeeeeeeh :P

[plush cobalt]

Again I must remind you people about meter

Change it to Mr. Mar if you must, just stick to the damn meter

The rest is fine (ish)

[rain mango]

makes sense

i think i figured out why my stealth kills arent working

[plush cobalt]

If you know anything about decompilation, relevant code is IsoGameCharacter.calculateCritChance

[rain mango]

after doing some experimenting with the hunting knife

turns out i CAN stealth kill

i just cant do so when im highly panicked

[plush cobalt]

So skill issue confirmed and fixed

[rain mango]

not only that

but i have to face the exact direction the zombie is facing

[quasi slate]

[quasi slate]

its not for kids like u

[candid patio]

What is this phenomena?

If my big dog is asleep on the other side of the house and I start bothering my little blind dog, my big dog springs into action and immediately comes to check on the little dog and make sure I'm not being to rough with her.

[harsh vault]

im an adult 😭

[candid patio]

Like does she have some silent alarm or something?

[quasi slate]

talk to me when ur 21

[candid patio]

Only like... In a legal sense

[harsh vault]

ya

[candid patio]

You are still just a baby

[harsh vault]

grrr

[lilac quarry]

Im guessing imperceptible sounds?

like dogs can hear things we can't

[harsh vault]

:c

[candid patio]

That makes sense

[candid patio]

I promise you in 5 years you will look back at yourself as you are today and feel like you were immature and had a lot of growing up to do.

[harsh vault]

wat

no

[candid patio]

Not that I'm saying I feel that way about you

[harsh vault]

i like being this way

it feels like my true self

[lilac quarry]

On this subject tho it actually is wild when you realize your brain fully matures

like insane

it's been like ~2 years for me since my brain is supposed to have fully matured but damn, since then everything is so stable in my life, emotions fully regulated and just less bothered by things that used to really throw me off

[ebon rapids]

your 27?

damn

[lilac quarry]

I know I know

https://tenor.com/view/so-old-gif-27277116

[candid patio]

I'm not saying you will change that way. It's hard to explain. But personally as an old man, looking back at 18 year old me, he wasn't much more mature than 13 year old me. But when I was 18 I was like I'm a grown ass man and 13 year old me was a little ass kid

[harsh vault]

i mean

thats just your life

we are all different

[candid patio]

I think that's a pretty common human experience

[ebon rapids]

we all just ppl

[harsh vault]

ya

[paper hull]

wrong

[lilac quarry]

I am a cyborg

[harsh vault]

well when have i been known to be common

[ebon rapids]

i am anything but normal

[paper hull]

i am incredibly normal

[ebon rapids]

thats a FAT L

[paper hull]

probably

but then again who gives a fuck

[ebon rapids]

real asf

[paper hull]

@hween

ah

wrong server

[mellow birch]

both things can be true at once friendo!

you can be your true self but have that self evolve as you mature

[harsh vault]

eh

i dont really want to discuss it

i dont want to think about me being different

i like who i am currently

[mellow birch]

okay

[paper hull]

i hate it

[mellow birch]

fair enough

[candid patio]

You are legally an adult but you haven't lived adult experiences.

I'm not going to argue with you about this further. I will die on that hill.

When you are over 30, if you can't look back at your 18 year old self and recognize that you were less mature then, you simply didn't grow mentally and emotionally as an adult.

[paper hull]

make it 10x bigger and give it a gun

[harsh vault]

slappy

this means you stop too

[paper hull]

double it and give it to the next guy

[tender igloo]

More mature than mosy people my age

[candid patio]

That's fine. There's nothing wrong with who you are now. That's not what I'm saying. But I'm fine to move on.

[lilac quarry]

Yeah you're basically that one lady in the wheelchair during the chocolate episode of spongebob

[paper hull]

[tender igloo]

[paper hull]

hewoo guys

would u like me then

[candid patio]

It will happen to you... Sooner than you think.

Actually I'm pretty sure you are in fact, already old.

[harsh vault]

i know, i just dont want to have you rant about it

[strange spruce]

dam

[harsh vault]

yes?

[paper hull]

what u think guys would it be better if i was all uwu perhawps we will be best fwends

[harsh vault]

no

i prefer first impressions

[strange spruce]

i mean if you wanna be go for it ig

[paper hull]

im intent to make the worst first impression with everyone ever

[candid patio]

I wasn't ranting, I felt misunderstood and I was trying to clarify.

[lilac quarry]

speaking of first impressions, I actually don't think they're important at all anymore lol

[mellow birch]

they can be

[lilac quarry]

the more I thought about it like damn I'm really gonna be written off by someone because of nerves??? damn.

and then I realized I did the same to others and felt a little bad lol

[harsh vault]

well you dont have to defend yourself, i get what you mean, but i dont think im going to be drastically different in the future

[strange spruce]

nobody knows that and neither do ya

[paper hull]

its why i enjoy being such a miserable bitch because i dont really want anyone to get close to me because id have to be all friendly and then we would probably play games together and that shit is dumb

[lilac quarry]

unless someone like beheads me and eats my eyes on first meeting then I guess they're not really that cool

[tender igloo]

Ahahha

I will remember the first time I shook your hand FOREVER.
If it was wet... Or sticky... Or you do that thing that alpha assholes do where they squeeze to early and they just crush your fingers instead of a proper handshake

[harsh vault]

eh

[lilac quarry]

it was piss

[heavy ivy]

on the bright side in that scenario its no longer your problem

[mellow birch]

man my brain is glorped

[strange spruce]

it is better not to think about it and see where life takes you instead

[mellow birch]

I need calories, and caffeine

[harsh vault]

exactly, thats why im trying to get the old man slappy to stop

[mellow birch]

caffeine doesn’t work

but taste good and oral stim

so

[mellow birch]

be nice xD

[lilac quarry]

ok I have a caffeine hack

[tender igloo]

Coke

[harsh vault]

im trying to be nice

[tender igloo]

Lol

Coca cola*

[paper hull]

try harder

be like super nicer

do it

[harsh vault]

i am

[lilac quarry]

granted I'm a caffeine fiend, but I also don't drink multiple energy drinks a day bad, just like more than a decade of coffee

[mellow birch]

I’m listening

[paper hull]

good now be all happy and nonchalant

[lilac quarry]

ok so, coke zero (flavour is better but either or), mix that with dark cold brew coffee

[harsh vault]

i am

[lilac quarry]

to the moon

zero calories

incredible

[paper hull]

ok now get a bit pissed off but like hide it and dont tell us

[harsh vault]

no

[paper hull]

boring

[harsh vault]

grrr

[mellow birch]

hm

my problem is that caffeine doesn’t give me a high

[lilac quarry]

it's actually quite good

[mellow birch]

it sorta levels me out instead

[candid patio]

This... This upsets me

Although there is a carbonated coffee beverage that I don't hate

[lilac quarry]

this is where I got the idea from, but these have a ton of sugar 🤢

[mellow birch]

I find caffeine calming

[paper hull]

im so fuckin bored holy shit

[lilac quarry]

and they don't sell them in canada anymore

[candid patio]

Maybe I'm intrigued

[onyx igloo]

you can microwave a honey bun and throw it at someone

[paper hull]

id rather peel a peach with my teeth

[onyx igloo]

5 minutes

[lilac quarry]

granted the real coke ones only have 49mg of coffee, whereas I think the coke zero / dark cold brew coffee mix is like 150mg caffeine

[onyx igloo]

if the peach was really juicy that'd probably be easy

unless your talking about an innuendo i dont understand

[mellow birch]

I don’t want to peel a peach with my teeth

[paper hull]

weak

[mellow birch]

that sounds uncomfy mouth feels

[mellow birch]

perhaps

[lilac quarry]

peel a pumpkin with your teeth

[paper hull]

sure

[tender igloo]

sme things are meant to be eaten raw

[mellow birch]

can I watch?

[paper hull]

if you want idc

i wanna scrape my teeth against the rind until it forms a hole big enough to fit my head

then ill reverse eat it

[lilac quarry]

Copyright free.

[twin bear]

https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/lJFGrjynGGBU2wobW?invite=cr-MSxscXQsNDk4MTQyOTEz&v=154 nah bro lmaooo

[plush cobalt]

Terms and conditions, section 2, paragraph 2.2

[plush cobalt]

According to what?

[shrewd smelt]

Where does it say otherwise?

[plush cobalt]

That is not how copyright works

[shrewd smelt]

In-game music is hard to copyright if it's original work. Certain guidelines restrict that nonsense.

But outside of the game is a different issue.

[shrewd smelt]

Otherwise you have another nintendo incident.

[plush cobalt]

Why would music that appears in a game not be subject to regular copyright law

[shrewd smelt]

It's just not....

[plush cobalt]

According to who lol

[shrewd smelt]

It just doesnt fly in court....

[plush cobalt]

It seems like you're making this up as you go along

No offense

[torpid wedge]

wait im confused

[plush cobalt]

I'm just wondering what you're getting this from

[shrewd smelt]

Nintendo already made such lawsuits.

[plush cobalt]

Which implies it's not "copyright free"

[shrewd smelt]

Didnt fly in court

They lost

[plush cobalt]

What court case?

[torpid wedge]

so im gonna get copyrighted if i use their music for a gameplay?

sorry i dont understand

[shrewd smelt]

For gameplay, no.

[plush cobalt]

Probably not, see https://projectzomboid.com/blog/support/terms-conditions

2.2. Use art, music, video footage or other assets of Project Zomboid for creative purposes in any way you like providing the end result is related in some way to promoting Project Zomboid or The Indie Stone, is for non-commercial use only (unless we agreed otherwise with you) and states Project Zomboid as its influence and origin by supplying the following wording prominently with the assets:
“Thanks to The Indie Stone for creating Project Zomboid https://projectzomboid.com/), which made this possible. This is an unofficial fan production for non-commercial purposes made under the Indie Stone Terms [link to these terms]“

But that also depends on whether automated content detection picks it up, if they or whoever owns the copyright decided to set that up

Also I doubt they actually enforce that exact quote but can't hurt to throw it in the description

If it's just the music happening in the game during gameplay it surely doesn't matter, or there wouldn't be many existing creators playing the game with the music turned on in their videos

Probably should've indicated this relevant bit too lol:

2.5. We are not responsible for any user-generated content you create or post. You can make gameplay footage or “Let’s Play” type videos on YouTube or other online video platforms, and monetise them if you like too. Again, you’re responsible for them.

[shrewd smelt]

....

Anyways. The only time copyright infringment really matters if specified otherwise or if there's a current battle over copyrighted content amongst the creators of said work.

[plush cobalt]

Untrue

[shrewd smelt]

Well then you get a Nintendo incident....

[plush cobalt]

Just do a search for "implied license" (or "automatic copyright" or something), I'm being pedantic but that's because the easiest way to avoid stuff like that is by researching beforehand

I'm not a lawyer, but I am a software dev which means thinking about licenses (for software) more than I'd care to

[narrow rune]

I was gonna have that as my pfp but he ripped it from my hands

Threw a suspicious amount of roof tiles at my skull

[plush cobalt]

I've moved past the roof tile incident

You should too

[narrow rune]

you threw them at my skull Omar

[plush cobalt]

It was a different time

[neat moat]

spur of the momment if you will

[narrow rune]

Also I'm taking your opinion I think this was a really good sentence do you agree or do you throw roof tiles

[plush cobalt]

I think that the argument in the sentence is good & conveyed well, but there are a few mechanical issues (spelling & word choice) that could make it even better if improved

Assuming they haven't already been fixed

[narrow rune]

It is a slightly older picture

I took it when I originally drafted it

[plush cobalt]

Also I don't think that throwing roof tiles is the opposite of agreeing

I'll likely die before getting a 2020 low specs pc

[bronze moat]

Netflix is gobbled up HBO and a few other services. They now have a contract with Google, they have a contract with Microsoft to put YouTube videos inside of video games as well as advertisements during your pause screen.

Because you will not be able to play a video game on your own computer? The advertisements will not be skippable or lockable. You will be forced to pay attention.

sometimes i feel like laying down and doing nothing with how the world is going

whats the point even

[bronze moat]

The current design of the Xbox ultimate? It’s really just a virtual machine that connects to the Xbox servers. It can’t run anything on its own. It’s just connecting to web-based gaming.

So for the low low price of 29.99a month you can play elder scroll six

no 2999 a month is correct

Lol

[oblique stream]

thats how much loan you gonna have to get to afford pc to run TES

[bronze moat]

Oh, I’m not lying in any way when I talk about an endgame store for elder scrolls six. They’re literally talking about it.

Todd Howard himself is promoting AI content for the game, as well as game store stuff so you can buy weapons and upgrade upgrades with real money instead of playing the game

And because he has complete control over everything including creative licenses, and art direction? What he says is going to happen.

"Man I wish gpu wasn't more expensive than other pc components"

they are for you

go back to minimum wage with 50% going to government

financial bullshit i dont even have to deal with

not yet

[bronze moat]

What I think is funny is that casinos are universally trying to sue the entire prediction market lol

So gambling institutions may actually stop the scam that is the prediction market.

Casinos are required by law to pay taxes, they are also required to pay out a certain amount of the money they take in.

The prediction market has no such regulations so they can just take all of your money and pay nothing back so casinos and slot machines are now seeing their lowest profits ever in history and the casinos are getting pissed off and suing

[scarlet canyon]

Hi guys thinking about buying this Game or humanitz. which one should I buy?

[neon bramble]

plunder social services then plunder what's left via your kids

[bronze moat]

Buy it. Make sure you don’t play it for more than five hours and if you don’t like it, refund it.

[scarlet canyon]

Thanks

[bronze moat]

Both the CEO of epic games and supercell have collectively donated more than $300 million to fight regulations about children spending money on the Internet

But nobody really cares because people love Fortnite and they love clash of clans.

[scarlet canyon]

Never used steams refund feature is it easy?

a dipshit ceo suggesting dipshit ideas

[neon bramble]

more like parents are too busy to actually cry foul about it

[oblique stream]

Yeah

too busy trying to survive and feed the child

while child feeds their last money to fortnite and roblox

[bronze moat]

They know exactly where their money comes from. If you do not allow underage children to spend money on the Internet, they will lose money. It’s as simple as that.

90% of profits of Fortnite come from children under the age of 14 and it’s one of the largest income makers on the planet

I have personal involvement in that myself because I worked fraud for the federal government

I dont need to be in the company to see through their bullshit

[neon bramble]

a decade ago there was a huge scandal with parents up in arms about teenagers being targeted by gambling rings

[oblique stream]

a decade ago companies weren't as big

to just tank anything

[neon bramble]

it wasn't corpo

was local out of circuit operations

[oblique stream]

I mean nothing had changed

just the fact that from local it became global

[neon bramble]

think that's the difference

[oblique stream]

with corpos having wallet as big as small countries gdp

[neon bramble]

being approached by shady people is one thing but when it's everywhere on the screen you give your kid to leave you alone

[oblique stream]

they can easily just take the fine of whatever comes out if they get targeted

I try to illustrate it simply:

talk to ANYONE who works customer service for a game company like sony.

Ask them how many calls every day are for v-bucks refunds or fraud.

Multiply that by how many people work in the same call center.

Poof! You have average dollar amount of fraud, per day, per company, just related to V-bucks.

It’s massive. And no one openly talks about it because it’s insanely profitable to allow it to keep happening.

Local runners have sane amount of money that can be taken away

Total corpo death

i think if Google had whatever the amount russia had asked for - it would easily pay and still make a profit

Youtube sold their entire database of personal information on every person using Youtube Kids to Disney.

Disney was found guilty, in COURT, of illegally aquiring personal information on underage children for the express purpose of sales, marketing, and data collection.

They were fined $200 million.

They kept the data.

They make over $1 billion in the transaction.

Fines never hurt the corpos

[oblique stream]

Fines aren't for corpos

nothing had changed

rich can just tank any fine or attorney fee

while peasants will have their life ruined

and governments do nothing cause these fines give them a lot of lettuce

[bronze moat]

Yepper. Meta admitted they illegally used data on kids to train their AI to “make children more accepting of AI companions and become emotionally attached to AI entities”.

They got a fine.

They now help produce AI companions. For kids.

[oblique stream]

making fines actually hurt corpos will mean that they'll just leave or go bankrupt

no more lettuce for my Bugatti

[neon bramble]

I'm gonna go carmelize some bananas on maple syrup

[bronze moat]

Wait…. Are you in the phillipines?!?!?

[neon bramble]

not right now

[bronze moat]

Oh lol. Cause that BBQ bananna thingy they make in the phillipines is soooo good

[neon bramble]

I have to fight my mom over brown sugar so I'm improvising
