There is a method by which Betazoid telepathic "speech" can be recorded and reproduced. Doing so also captures a lot of the baseline information about the speaker that Betazoids typically feel during psychic communication such as age, sex, emotional state, and relative physical position to the listener.
Because of this, listening to a psychic recording is deeply distressing to a Betazoid. The reproduced information is more difficult to filter through mentally than organic conversation and is often cluttered by the presence of other individuals near the equipment at the time of recording. Similar to the results of direct stimulation of the brain, even a Betazoid aware that there is a telepathic record playing can find it difficult to believe that there isn’t a speaker present.
Other telepathic species don't have this problem with telepathic recording because most can't perceive a conversation's "metadata" and only parse conscious communication.
Dangit there needs to be a time lock on auction websites or at the very least my cell phone because I was up at 1 am and like "lol, hotpot tastee" and now I have a massive double-compartment soup pot coming to my house.
Who cares if it's a good deal, I have no room for it! I live with people, they'll be expecting soup now! I've never made hotpot in my life.
SLEEPY ME DOESN’T KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR US.
DHMIS Theories let's GOOOO
Yellow Guy: David. Roy and Leslie's kid. Killed in a car accident when Leslie was behind the wheel. Died around age 10 but it's been years since then, making him technically 38 now. He mentally fluctuates between the two ages.
Duck: David's beloved pet bird. Very old, gifted to david after his previous owner's death. May or may not be the reason that David is dead in the first place. Unkempt, mean, and a generally awful pet. He was hated by Leslie in particular and possibly Roy, but David loved him so much that the two are inseparable, even in a nightmarish abstraction, removed from memory.
Red Guy: Collaborator on Roy and Leslie's show. Never met David in the flesh, but knew about him and could tell how his memory colored the couple's imagination. Was initially devoted to honoring David's memory, until things started going downhill and he realized that the couple's feelings towards David and towards each other were darker than he could have anticipated.
Webseries is primarily about Red Guy and the allegorical fate of the show. Most of the commentary is about the state of media, its often conflicting agendas, and how it is colored by the personal lives of artists.
The TV show gets more personal, and goes a layer deeper. By focusing David and his mother, it displays a family crumbling in the face of tragedy, and the paralyzing nature of grief.
So do face masks actually do anything or do they just trick you into washing your face more frequently? Genuinely asking.
Only upside of the bot follower swarm is that I have so many character names for flash fiction now.
For dinner I had chocolate cake and a tin of herrings.
Regarding the whole mamamax debacle, one thing I haven't seen mentioned is what vainglorious braindead bullshit the whole "Leviathans are coming" signoff is.
So in the lore of this alleged cult, leviathans are members of a murderous anti-otherkin organization used to scare cult members and make them afraid of leaving. WHY ON EARTH would you try to reach out to and deprogram people inside said cult by referring to yourself and your following that way??? If the cult is real he would be playing right into the leader's hands by aligning himself with a fictional band of bigoted gangstalkers! If he really believes that there is a legitimate cult then he is a whole new level of incompetent.
I really am my Grandpa's girl because I want a railroad spike for my desk SO BAD it won't even have a function it's just gonna be my pet railroad spike.

"why did they pronounce Hera wrong, it's so weird"
It's Almost Like That's The Point
It's almost like Hera was given immense power and responsibility and then was subjugated and disrespected. It's almost like she's constantly called by a name— Unit 214— that isn't her. She's the most powerful person on board, and she has to fight to make that matter.
Hera was named after a goddess. That name is pronounced wrong. I think that's poignant and beautiful actually
