    Oh man, how sweet would it be to have ferret and kitten grow up together as friends :3

    They tend to get along really well if they're raised together. Like to the point of a giant multi-animal ball of fur. Older cats tend to do not so well with them as ferrets have a dog like fascination with butt sniffing and if a cat doesn't grow up dealing with it they tend to freak the fuck out.

    For example my current cat, Dizzy, was really interested with my ferrets until one of them decided that she was a ferret and went for a sneak ass sniffing. After Dizzy did a backflip she smacked DD so hard I think she did a 720. Which of course backfried on her because that just meant playtime to DD so Dizzy just had a tiny ferret trying to pounce on her.

    She's refused to even be in the same room as them ever since :P

    guys if you think you'll remain sensate after death shouldn't you be instructing your loved ones to at least prop you up in front of a tv or something rather than rushing headlong into the experience of having your body consumed by fire?

    I don't have TV.

    Is cremation better now? Burning hurts..

    Rather that than untold years of boredom.
    Just have it put in your will that you want to be injected with enough morphine to kill an elephant AFTER you die but BEFORE you get cremated.

    I want to be cremated

    that way I can never come back as a zombie

    I want to be cremated specifically because of this reason and because once when I was a kid I saw an episode of some Sci Fi show where a guy dies but death was just a state of consciousness but you don't breath, can't move, you just sit there and are.

    Like the guy in Johnny Got his Gun or whatever.

    Scares the shit out of me.
    There was a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode or something like that, a guy "dies" but is aware of everything, all the people talking about him, seeing his own autopsy, hearing his "friends" say how he was murdered.

    Right at the end as they're about to cut his head open and he's freaking out he suddenly starts screaming and moving and it turns out it was a big practical joke played on him by his coroner friends, they injected him with a paralytic.

    They all have a laugh and then he has an actual heart attack and dies except death is actually like that AND you can feel things which he realizes as they actually start to cut his skull open.

    Yeah. I think this is the one.

    Thanks. I really wanted to relive that.

    ;)
    My favorite part was when they hung him on the meathook in the body cooler next to a bunch of other corpses.

    who are sharing his fate

    as are all dead people ever

    Right, but I feel like that idea has been pretty thoroughly explored at this point.

    So why aren't there any vampire scientists in fiction*? Whenever someone becomes a vampire they enter lives of either intense aesthetic decadence or self-imposed exile. Most humans have to spend practically half their lives to achieve mastery of a single discipline. A few centuries-old polymaths could accelerate scientific advancement to an incredible rate.


    *I think there was one in, like, Ultraviolet but his immortality wasn't a focus

    Because the venn diagram "people who write vampire fiction" and "people who know anything about science" is two big circles with a vast empty chasm between.

    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    I like the idea of immortality as a way of having a story cover multiple periods. And a bad guy who's more of a manipulator/controller, then an immeadiate success kind of guy. I mean if you can live forever, you can play the long game politically, so if you set up your cards right you'll be the supreme ruler and people will worship you for it, forever.

    Because a book about someone who spends most of their time indoors shunning sunlight and humanity while doing experiments would just be a book about scientists.

    Also because vampirism in Ultraviolet meant you died at like 30, you weren't immortal at all.

    If I were to go immortal I would probably go insane in pursuit of ultimate knowledge, because suddenly it has become so much closer as to appear within my reach. I would be making all sorts of Faustian bargains.

    I want this girl to break up with her boyfriend so I can be her rebound because the last chance to be that failed

    because getting me drunk is actually the worst way to get me to show interest because my mind goes really scattershot then

    my mind was like "Okay yeah this'd be a pretty good time to kiss her hey the bathroom floor is probably really nice with the heating on I want to sleep there oh hey you're leaning in pretty close what is the worst drink we can make with what we got"

    The old twilight zone had some pretty nasty episodes. Though the outer limits went even darker most of the time.

    Yeah, deathclaws are harder. But I found them to be more easily avoidable. Yao Guai have sharper senses and roam the countryside. So I'd get jumped by a pair of yao guai pretty often.

    I also played a sniper and deathclaws will just sit there and eat bullets if you're sniping from far enough away. Yao Guai will start pathing towards you.

    That and the dart gun makes Deathclaws an absolute joke.

    I swear to go though it almost seems like yao guai can catch you even after being poisoned.

    oh I beg to differ

    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death
