The Man from Earth low budget sci-fi about a guy who’s been alive for thousands of years, mostly just character development and story telling through actually story telling.
Seconded. It’s also an indie film that they want people to see, so it’s probably somewhere for free. The sequel was a torrent on their site iirc.
The Man From Earth is at least on YouTube as a 720p movie. For free. Recommended. (The sequel wasn’t as good but I enjoyed it somewhat as well.)
effectively just do this on your own hardware for pretty cheap.
Yeah I thought as much, but I’m no expert in the subject so I left the details for smarter people.
To each their own, but I’ve never changed an opinion because of the quantity of people who believe I was wrong.
Somewhat relevant or not:
(still doesn’t affect LLM’s being trained of stolen material by entities who get upset when you share even a mb of their IP illegally, and LLM’s being powerhhungry fuckers, but I believe some of those smaller and more economic models could perhaps be worthwhile, and some NPC LLM set in skyrim shouldn’t need as much training as Gemini trying to be omniscient)
“I’d purposefully avoid talking about gun control”
Found the American.
Gun control works as surely as antibiotics do and people denying it are brainwashed yanks >99% of the time
Except if you’re like a Sicilian/Cuban grandma.
I read that they’re not terrible when used to power NPC’s in games.
Not my personal take, mind you, but thought it relevant.
I’m literally just in the comment section now to post a gif saying something along those lines but you beat me to the comment so I’m just gonna post a gif here
A Stressball
And I’m not Mongolian, dammit.
And give them a chance to spread unchallenged?
Never.
Nothing about them are “left” or “progressive”. To me, they’re worse than MAGA shitheads.
I’ve been for the legalisation of weed since like 2006 and I still get creeped out by people who are like “well at least weed is legal in North Korea”.
Like bitch please there’s no dank dank enough to compensate for even a miniscule portion of the shit that goes on in NK.
Not to mention the punishment for breaking a law of that level where I live is a fine.
Russian propaganda
I don’t know man, I can’t really think of many drugs I haven’t done in some form or another. I just don’t use stimulants anymore, as I’ve already enough problems being overstimulated.
I drink to make other people more interesting.

Edit Also how do you know we aren’t morwomans instead of mormans?
without the input of adults
All these “thought himself an orange and peeled himself” drug shit are bs propaganda that adults have come up with.
Well honestly there are quite a few regarding alcohol.
And the worst ones I know are the ones who avoided it like the plague only to then instantly shift to binging, especially because they were of legal age to buy.
I think it is very important to have friends that respect and support the decision not to drink, especially at parties and such.
Doesn’t work in Finland
Ofc.
And you know it.
You just want people yo assure you you haven’t made the wrong decision by not engaging in those activities pre-18.
Might’ve avoided some fun experiences, but also definitely avoided a few bad ones as well.
I don’t plan on doing so anyway.
So then you already know. So are you just here for “oh yes drugs ruined my life because I smoked weed at 16”- comments? Haven’t got any.
I mean if you’re over the age of 20, you can probably imagine this.
You can’t really remember all the things you did. Especially not for the first years when you were shitting yourself and sucking tits. But that’s more for psychological protection I feel like. My point being that from like 3-5 you start having some memories. The more vivid the connection, the better it stays. I can’t remember most of my childhood, but I can definitely remember parts of it. And especially if someone reminds me of a thing. Or a smell or something else familiar. But like yeah, the limits of memory on someone that old would be interesting. I just think it’s a sort of prioritised order for him as well. Might not remember lots of specifics but does remember lots of vague ideas.
I think skills stay longer than non-vivid memories… I’m not sure if he could just juggle, but doing so would prolly come back fast from muscle memory. Idk
This whole comment is me just guessing. But that’s what the movie makes you do, and it’s what I love about it.
Even I remember (now we’ve been over this a bit) on how he was asked if he ever got seriously ill. And John remembered getting like pneumonia in the stone age or smth. Would prolly remember who cared for him more vividly than someone they met at a grocery store a few weeks before telling the story.
Human minds and memories are fascinating.
