    What do you call it where you're in a dream-like state when you refuse to wake up?
    Like I'll have woken up, and then I'll stay in bed and close my eyes and have sort of a dream except I can just open my eyes and end it at any time, which I am aware of. It feels more like a daydream or fantasy, but I never physically see those, only in my mind's eye, whereas with this I physically see it.
    Anyone know what the fuck I'm talking about?

    I think that falls under the category of lucid dreams, but i don't know, sometimes i tend to dream and when i woke up i'm still in a dream, sometimes it tends to get into a loop is c-c-c-c-c-c-crazeh!

    I wouldn't say it's a lucid dream, more like a middle ground between daydream and real dream.
    I think it's the combination of tiredness, laying in bed but not sleeping and daydreaming that it causing it to become visual or something, I was just wondering if it had a specific name or something.

    Did you hear the outside world? No?
    It can happen spontaneous after sleep and when you wake up but are still not fully in your body.

    You can reach this state with practice during meditation too. A step higher would be partial detachment from the body "sleep paralysis", further it would be astral projecting.

    This also the condition I use for remote viewing, you need to quiet down your imagination for it though.

    @Z0diacK to be honest my only surprise is that someone dreamed about me, unless the way i died was revealed in the dream and its not suicide, then ill be shocked

    @dont you have to download everything individually on soulseek?

    @Remember_Summer_Days yes, i fail to see the problem with that
    @s0ren that's not the most farfetched idea, I can imagine it being in both their interests

    @Remember_Summer_Days Most people have their collections organized in folders, usually by artists and their releases in that. You can usually just download entire folders of stuff at a time. If someone has a lot of stuff that you want to grab or if they have a low bitrate, it's usually best to check their profile to see if they don't want you to do that, or send them a message first. But most users don't really notice or care
    Okay, I keep getting this fucking channel recommended to me, so I got a fucking bone to pick with it. How the fuck do I say its name? How the fuck does one pronounce its name? I can't fucking figure it out someone tell me right the fuck now HOW THE FUCK DO I SAY THIS, HOW DO YOU SAY JAPANALYSIS WHO CAME UP WITH THIS SHITE FUCKING NAME I WANT TO KNOW WHY HE DOESNT JAPANALYZE HIS FUCKING LIFE DECISIONS WHENEVER HE READS HIS NAME

    Are you guys seriously wondering whether Youtubers are just in it for the money? I thought it was obvious . . . DKFail
    That besides, video essays are all the rage. You want to reach people, or just make money, you make video essays. Doesn't matter that it's a godawful format because it's what everyone likes. It's also easier to be deceptive in a video essay, harder to criticize when the entirety isn't laid out for you to elegantly poke holes in, which is why so many feel like propoganda.

    @LostintheCycle i dont mean YouTubers getting paid by YouTube or a sponsor, I mean something like the government doing the paying. Also yea, they literally all feel like propaganda

    if it's for gaming anything that is like at least high end from 2013 or later for CPU, gaming ain't really cpu intensive unless you want ultra settings or you play a horribly unoptimized game, try not to go for something weaker than i7 3770 tho

    for ram anything thats at least 16GB speed don't matter that much i guess

    power supply take something for a reputable brand don't cheap out or else your house will burn down

    graphics card take whatever it really depends on how good you want the games to look and how much you're willing to spend

    for the disk drive Asus BW-16D1HT or anything that's recommended by the MakeMKV forum, anything else may lock you out of UHD blu rays and you will have to patch the firmware of the drive

    before buying anything you can check how well a game runs on something by looking up on youtube the title of a game + the component you're looking for

    Low Spec Gamer and Random Gaming in HD are two good youtube channels if you wanna see cheap ass computers run games

    I keep having epiphanies and I don't particularly like it at this point.

    Taleisin
    About personal stuff, or more abstract stuff? Or do you mean in the theological sense lmao
    mydadiscar
    mydadiscar
    The first epiphany I had today was that I have value as a human due to my experiences
    Being that the things I had experienced, in the way I experienced them etc. give me value due to the fact that I am essentially a living archive of these experiences
    The second being that doesn't matter if I can just archive these experiences some other way, in fact this would be the most effective solution
    Taleisin
    Taleisin
    @mydadiscar those are great realisations to have had. My question to you (you don't have to answer) is where does that value come from, what makes those archives/experiences valuable? What is value, and where does it apply? What determines the value you hold for things?
    Theory: your dad's name is Oscar, since I and O are pretty close on a keyboard.
    Or he is both Oscar and a car.

    it's maybe just a driver issue that will go away with windows updates, just plug in an external screen and do the updates that worked for me when a fren of mine brought me a laptop that had the same problem

    What model do you have? Because some thinkpads are pretty shit while others are absolutely great.
    I still use a 2008 Thinkpad T400 almost daily and it works perfectly.
    Also gentoo btw.

    Do you have either a windows or Linux USB you can boot to? When you said you factory reset it it, was it through the bios or through windows? Im guessing bios since you said it won't boot but you factory reset it again somehow?
    If you factory reset it from bios, there may be nothing on the hard drive. That's why it's a black screen that won't boot. But that's okay, it did what it was supposed to do. Just find a USB you can make into a bootable windows or Linux USB, and when you turn on the computer it'll boot from that. Then install.
