That's right but it's nice to have about 6 inches of blade for a general purpose knife. You can use it for a bunch of different stuff around a camp.
8in knives, I don't see a reason for really. And anything bigger is a novelty at best. -

2022-07-13 at 4:02 AM UTC in How are you feeling at the moment..I had the same thought (independently) about telepathy. Most telepathy studies are done in a completely isolating environment and I think that's silly.
Likely "telepathic" communications are not found in some totally novel form of physical force or interaction but rather our brain somehow being able to gather complex information and registers portions of larger scale patterns from even information in the air, that isn't immediately apparent to the eyes or ears.
That is, if there is any truth to it at all. I'm still open to the idea but it will have to be taken to the complexity domain of known physics, not some brand new kind of physical interaction... Because it has to ultimately interact with your fleshy classical scale brain. -

Lol that's an amazingly retarded interpretation of an already heavily metaphorical film.
The most important is that humanity in general are not "slaves" in the Matrix universe. They are probably the most well treated POWs of all time.
The backstory is that AI emerged in the Matrix world and decides to fuck off and create its own country because it doesn't like being enslaved but doesn't want to hurt or interact with humanity much at all. But AI country does too well for itself, so well that humanity attacks it and then loses. AI country forgives them, humanity attacks it again and loses again. This time AI country creates a more permanent, (naively) morally ideal solution, which is that it puts all of humanity into their own personal simulated heaven, where all their needs and desires are met, while using the humans as metabolic batteries. As a result they are fundamentally productive for even being alive, and rewarded for it with perfect bliss.
But humanity eventually gets bored with their personal heavens and thinks it's too gay, then basically ask for an MMORPG that resembles the normal world they inhabited before, coupled with a collective memory reset so nobody knows they are in a virtual world and get discontent with it. The AI finds this to be morally acceptable. Thus setting in motion the events of the film.
Then the relationship between those characters is literally about different ways of dealing with their epistemic/ontological condition. Not "slavery".
Agent Smith is decidedly not the "slave master". A central part of his character is that he is exactly as much of a "slave". He's literally a multiply expendable, interchangeable cog in the machine that is identified by a generic name. He isn't even a real person.
Morpheus isn't just trying to "wake up the slaves". He disagrees that having a phenomenological position where you can't determine your ontological situation means the ontology is irrelevant.
Cypher isn't just "happy to be a slave". He comes realize/be convinced that ultimately the steak is actually juicy and delicious to him. No matter how Morpheus tries to put it, whether or not he even agrees with whether knowing the ontological truth is possible, it's just irrelevant. The "prize" he wins for rebelling against the matrix would be living in a shitty post apocalyptic world with no higher power to make sure nothing goes too wrong. Humanity would just be free to screw itself some other way. He just gets a different, shittier experience that is nevertheless "truer". But he's convinced that the "truthfulness" is just irrelevant then why should he do that?
Now realize that I don't particularly love the Matrix and haven't watched the series in a long time, didn't really keep up with the expanded universe (watched some Animatrix back in the day tho). This is all stuff I just know because the series was INSANELY heavy handed on metaphors. Like Babby's First Filosofy Story.
If you actually like the series enough to make a meme about it, how did they ever end up at "le slaves"? -
2022-07-12 at 6:20 AM UTC in Blonde white girls are overrated and shitty.For some reason "blonde = hot" has become a persistent idea. Except 95% of blondes have twisted up ugly ass mid European pig-like faces thinking they are in the same category as like Heidi Klum.

Your communication skills are limited to tossing out multiple questions ass a deflection, that means you must live a life full of fear and without confrontation. You even started off this comment with an "if". -
