He also points out that human emotions are different. I assumed this to mean the the rhetorical tools he uses to control his Vulcan emotions are ineffective on human emotions despite Vulcan emotions being stronger. It's like having a vaccine for the flu, but still getting a cold.
I remember the Fark photoshop thread this came from. Damn I feel old.
Before I started school my mother sometimes would have to bring me in to work with her when she couldn't find a baby sitter. She worked in a restaurant in a bowling alley, during the day it wasn't very busy so she would be running the place on her own. There were a few regulars who would give me quarters to play the Galaga machine, and sometimes they'd give me a couple bucks and I'd go across the building to the arcade for some Spy Hunter and Donkey Kong.
How utterly nightmarish it is to imagine your bones heating up under heavy load.
I like it so far. I miss some of the communities that are either not yet present, or are not yet active enough on Lemmy, but I'm hopeful that things will fill out over time. I do hope we can get a good solution for video hosting that isn't relying on youtube, but I get that that is a tall order.
To be honest, I'm not even sure what "soul" is supposed to mean. If your definition of soul is an ethereal consciousness separate from your physical body than I can honestly say that i believe that doesn't exist. We have plenty of evidence that your consciousness is a function of your brain, we can see this when people experience personality changes as a result of chemical influence or damage to the brain. Someone suffering a stroke can come out of it with changes to their temperment, tastes, even interests. Anyone who's suffered chemical depression should be familiar with the way their neurochemistry effects their personally, and the effects of drugs on people is well known.
I've seen no useful evidence that a soul, based on that definition, does or even can exist. The evidence I do have looks very much like no such thing is happening.
