I (sorta) know that feel. I looked up the JoJo OVA from the 90s on Youtube a couple weeks ago, and as a result my YouTube recommendations are flooded with bizarre-looking animé I have never watched and do not intend to watch.

The worst is clicking a link in a chat or w/e just to see what the vid is and closing it instantly and YouTube decided this means you love it until death. Or else.

I used to open those in incognito tabs, but I've had past occurrences of those leaking the preferences to YT sometimes. So I just take to deleting them from the history now.

[Tawa]

I get around that by just googling the URL instead.

Fortunately, you can make these suggestions go away by clicking the little "not interested" button on enough of them.

... I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be growing anymore. But for whatever reason my latest stuff from my doctor has me at 6'3" instead of 6'2"... I also confirmed that's my height after the fact myself.

Weird as shit....

How old are you?

I'm 18 and I grew an inch the past year.

[Gunner-Chan]

I turned 30 this year. I definitely shouldn't be growing anymore.

[Frumple]

Maybe a posture change? Google seems to think it's the only (non-bupkis) way to gain height after 25 or so.

[Gunner-Chan]

I have no idea, it could potentially be I'm holding myself upright better now that I haven't been as depressed...

And I know it's not something silly like wearing too thick socks or not discounting shoes/boots since I still really don't bother with either.

[ChairmanPoo]

  you take your measure while wearing footwear?

[Gunner-Chan]

No I don't, but I'm absentminded and if I even owned any I'm sure i'd of made the mistake once or twice.

[Akura]

Maybe a posture change? Google seems to think it's the only (non-bupkis) way to gain height after 25 or so.

Women stop growing taller sooner(around 18 or so), if I recall, which is why women tend to be shorter than men.

Seems like it.

Maybe a change in diet? The body making up for lost nutrishun?

[MaximumZero]

I mean, if you don't want some of those many, many inches, I know a few people who could probably use them. Not me, though. I love being short.

9:12 PM - bfel001: CONTINUITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS
9:12 PM - bfel001: I think thats it
9:12 PM - Karnewarrior: ^
9:12 PM - bfel001: But yeah
9:13 PM - bfel001: Karne there's a question about how Continuous you think your conscious mind is
9:13 PM - bfel001: Do you "die" if you end up in a coma?
9:13 PM - Karnewarrior: I don't need to be concious, per se
9:13 PM - bfel001: You could go so far as to think you die every time you go to sleep
9:14 PM - Karnewarrior: exactly
9:14 PM - Karnewarrior: sleep, you see, has the brain active
9:14 PM - Karnewarrior: once the brain is not active, you're dead
9:14 PM - Karnewarrior: now if you're brought out of a coma, you're still you
9:14 PM - Karnewarrior: but you were dead
9:14 PM - Karnewarrior: on the other hand, if I brain upoad, there's nothing saying I have to die to do so
9:14 PM - bfel001: So you die when you sleep but are resurrected when you awake?
9:15 PM - Karnewarrior: ergo that computer is not me. Bcause I can still be active and it can be active and separate simultaneously
9:15 PM - Karnewarrior: we cannot be the same person
9:15 PM - Karnewarrior: No, like I said
9:15 PM - bfel001: And how do you know that its YOU waking up when you wake up from sleep?
9:15 PM - Karnewarrior: you're not dead when you're asleep. You're not even unconcious
9:15 PM - bfel001: You could just die
9:15 PM - bfel001: Every
9:15 PM - bfel001: Single
9:15 PM - Karnewarrior: ever hear of lucid dreaming
9:15 PM - bfel001: Day
9:15 PM - bfel001: Ever hear of this point I'm trying to make?
9:16 PM - Karnewarrior: Your brain is continuously active 24/7
9:16 PM - bfel001: Your brain is continously DIFFERENT 24/7
9:16 PM - Karnewarrior: Your /forebrain/ is significantly /less/ active during sleep, but you're not inactive
9:16 PM - Karnewarrior: I've heard of it, I'm just blowing holes in your 1800's philosophy
9:16 PM - Karnewarrior: take that Nizhezheahoeuhjis
9:17 PM - bfel001: Every single second you die and someone just a little different then you replaces you
9:17 PM - Karnewarrior: Your brain is different from the third dimensional cross-section we observe
9:17 PM - Karnewarrior: in the fourth dimension it's the same brain
9:17 PM - Karnewarrior: on the other hand, a brain upload is not fourth-dimensionally connected to your brain
9:17 PM - Sprin: oh god my brain hurts o_o
9:17 PM - bfel001: No its really not
9:18 PM - Karnewarrior: you can exist simultaneously with that seprate conciousness
9:18 PM - bfel001: Because the fourth dimension is TIME
9:18 PM - Karnewarrior: ergo it cannot be you
9:18 PM - bfel001: Are you the same person you were 10 years ago Karne?
9:18 PM - Karnewarrior: however I can not exist simultaneously with my own conciouness without starting a stable time loop
9:18 PM - Sprin: I wonder what 10 year old me was like
9:18 PM - Sprin: prolly a cringy asshole
9:18 PM - Karnewarrior: I am the same person I was ten years ago if you go ten years back.
9:19 PM - bfel001: But you can't
9:19 PM - Karnewarrior: you forget
9:19 PM - bfel001: Also that makes no sense
9:19 PM - Karnewarrior: the 4th dimension behaves like space on a quantum level
9:19 PM - Karnewarrior: it IS a space you can rotate through
9:20 PM - Karnewarrior: I am the same me as I was ten years ago and the same me as I will be ten years from now
9:20 PM - bfel001: No, your brain is fundamentally different
9:20 PM - Karnewarrior: Because we're all cross sections of the fourth-dimesnional entity known as Karnewarrior on the internet
9:20 PM - Sprin: Will you still be the same you after you die o_o
9:20 PM - Karnewarrior: the brain doesn't fucking matter bro
9:20 PM - Karnewarrior: an AI has exactly the same problem
9:20 PM - Karnewarrior: a copy of an AI is not that AI
9:20 PM - Karnewarrior: just a copy
9:20 PM - bfel001: The brain doesn't matter in the subject of CONSCIOUSNESS?
9:20 PM - Karnewarrior: no, it doesn't
9:21 PM - bfel001: ITS LITERALLY YOU
9:21 PM - Karnewarrior: you're still thinking of the fourth dimension as fundamentally different from space
9:21 PM - Sprin: Actually the brain is more of decriptor of conciousness
9:21 PM - bfel001: THATS LITERALLY THE PART OF YOUR BODY THAT CONTAINS YOUR CONSCIOUS THOUGHTS
9:21 PM - Sprin: if that makes sense
9:21 PM - Sprin: like
9:21 PM - Sprin: Imagine
9:21 PM - Karnewarrior: The brain is where the conciousness comes from, but it doesn't have anything to do with continuity of conciousness
9:21 PM - bfel001: No, I'm still thinking of the mind as fundamentally connected to the body
9:21 PM - Karnewarrior: it's not really
9:21 PM - Sprin: HEY
9:22 PM - bfel001: Sorta true
9:22 PM - Sprin: I KNOW HOW TO FIGURE THIS OUT
9:22 PM - Karnewarrior: Sprin said something smart
9:22 PM - Karnewarrior: everyone shut the fuck up
9:22 PM - Sprin: lets kill BFEL
9:22 PM - Karnewarrior: nevermind
9:22 PM - bfel001: In that the electrons firing along your nerves are the "real" consciousness
9:22 PM - Sprin: lol
9:22 PM - Sprin: The brain sorta interprets conciousness
9:22 PM - Karnewarrior: It's not that
9:22 PM - bfel001: Yeah, but it makes you well, YOU
9:22 PM - Karnewarrior: when you think of you you think of all your connected thoughts and feelings and such
9:23 PM - Karnewarrior: but you're not really thinking of your brain
9:23 PM - Karnewarrior: your brain is the hardware all that is installed on
9:23 PM - Karnewarrior: but it's not your conciouness in itself
9:23 PM - Sprin: your using better words
9:23 PM - Karnewarrior: You are like a computer program
9:23 PM - Karnewarrior: if you break the computer, the program temrinates.
9:23 PM - bfel001: Yeah, and changing that hardware will change the output
9:23 PM - Karnewarrior: But that doesn't mean the computer is the program
9:24 PM - Karnewarrior: Not really
9:24 PM - bfel001: Its the difference between running a game on a shitty laptop or on a super computer
9:24 PM - bfel001: You straight up won't get the same results
9:24 PM - Karnewarrior: two twin programs run on a Mac and a PC will run essentially the same
9:24 PM - Karnewarrior: they won't be the same program
9:24 PM - Karnewarrior: but that has to do with simultanity
9:24 PM - bfel001: You'll have different bugs and glitches though
9:25 PM - Karnewarrior: yes but that doesn't matter
9:25 PM - Karnewarrior: what I'm saying is
9:25 PM - bfel001: Thus, different thoughts
9:25 PM - Sprin: Brains are wierd
9:25 PM - bfel001: STOP MISPELLING WEIRD
9:25 PM - Karnewarrior: Anything that can exist in the same fourth-dimensional space as itself without requiring a stable time loop to do so must therefore be existentially different
9:26 PM - Karnewarrior: 9:25 PM - Sprin: Brains are wired
9:26 PM - bfel001: It DOESN'T exist in the same fourth dimensional space as itself
9:26 PM - Sprin: why cant I spell wierd right
9:26 PM - Sprin: weird
9:26 PM - Sprin: WEIRD
9:26 PM - Sprin: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIRD
9:26 PM - Karnewarrior: What do you mean, BFEL?
9:26 PM - bfel001: It exists in the same fourth dimension space as a copy of itself
9:26 PM - Karnewarrior: exactly. Ergo, it cannot be the same conciouness
9:26 PM - bfel001: Basically every second is a "copy" of your brain, and thus, your conscious mind
9:26 PM - Karnewarrior: thats what I'm saying
9:27 PM - Karnewarrior: It's not
9:27 PM - Karnewarrior: it's all the same entity
9:27 PM - bfel001: No, thats what *I* was saying
9:27 PM - Karnewarrior: because what you see is a fourth dimensional cross-section
9:27 PM - bfel001: YOU were saying that its the same
9:28 PM - Karnewarrior: The me of five seconds ago (is angry) can't exist in the same fourth dimesnional space as the me now. They are the same entity, because they cannot exist simultaneously
9:28 PM - Karnewarrior: if the universe was five-dimensional, you could travel back and cause paradoxes with yourself because you wouldn't occupy the same fourth dimensional space
9:29 PM - bfel001: 11:28 PM - Karnewarrior: exactly. Ergo, it cannot be the same conciouness
11:28 PM - Karnewarrior: it's all the same entity
9:29 PM - bfel001: RECTIFY THOSE TWO POINTS
9:29 PM - Sprin: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SHIT
9:29 PM - Karnewarrior: What I'm saying is
9:29 PM - Karnewarrior: imagine a man. Man A
9:29 PM - bfel001: WAIT
9:29 PM - Karnewarrior: Man A waits for five minutes, then enters a time machine set for five minutes ago
9:29 PM - bfel001: I figured out why you're wrong
9:29 PM - Karnewarrior: now he has two choices
9:30 PM - Karnewarrior: wait
9:30 PM - Karnewarrior: actually, he only has one
9:30 PM - Karnewarrior: stable time loop
9:30 PM - Karnewarrior: because creating a paradox would make him man B
9:30 PM - Karnewarrior: fuck I lost control of this scenario
9:30 PM - Karnewarrior: let me try again
9:30 PM - Karnewarrior: ok so
9:31 PM - Karnewarrior: Conciousness A
9:31 PM - Karnewarrior: Conciousness A creates a perfect copy of itself instantaneously
9:31 PM - Karnewarrior: This copy exists in the same fourth dimensional space as Conciousness A, correct?
9:32 PM - bfel001: but now the copy is Consciousness B
9:32 PM - Karnewarrior: yes. precisely
9:32 PM - Karnewarrior: at the same time
9:32 PM - Karnewarrior: if Conciouness A waits for ten minutes
9:32 PM - Karnewarrior: it is still conciousness A
9:32 PM - bfel001: Fourth dimensional space is time
9:32 PM - bfel001: No
9:32 PM - Karnewarrior: because it is not occupying the same fourth dimensional space as Conciouness A T-10
9:33 PM - bfel001: Every second Consciousness A turns into counsciousness B
9:33 PM - Karnewarrior: Conciousness A T-0 may act differently from Conciouness A T-10, while not acting differently from Conciouness B at all
9:33 PM - Karnewarrior: but Conciouness A is Conciousness A, and B is B, regardless of action or thought
9:34 PM - Karnewarrior: That's what I'm disputing. Conciouness A cannot become Conciouness B
9:34 PM - Karnewarrior: only create Conciousness B
9:34 PM - bfel001: I'm disputing
9:34 PM - Karnewarrior: (sprin is dead)
9:34 PM - bfel001: That any consciousness in different points in fourth dimensional space could be considered the same
9:35 PM - Sprin: im not dead
9:35 PM - Sprin: Im just
9:35 PM - bfel001: You aren't the same BECAUSE YOU AREN'T IN THE SPACE YOU ARE IN
9:35 PM - Sprin: I lost track of the convorsation
9:35 PM - Sprin: >_>
9:36 PM - bfel001: You can't be in two places at once (barring remote control style shenanigans)
9:36 PM - bfel001: Thus you can't be in two TIMES at once
9:36 PM - Karnewarrior: No, I'm in the same first, second, and third dimensional coordinates. But I'm a different cross-secton of the fourth-dimensional hyperentity
9:36 PM - bfel001: AND THAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT
9:36 PM - Karnewarrior: by which I am spacially different, but fundamentally the same
9:37 PM - Karnewarrior: your finger doesn't stop being your finger if you point at something different
9:37 PM - Karnewarrior: think of it like moving along a snake
9:37 PM - bfel001: TOTALLY DOES
9:37 PM - Karnewarrior: you're still the snake. Just a different PART of the snake
9:37 PM - Karnewarrior: whereas a different snake will never be the same snake
9:37 PM - bfel001: Its now the new yous' finger

I think Sprin is dead.
