Fake news. Right here.

I believe that Bender Bending Rodriguez said it best.

Born in 1980 and have been to Toys R Us more times than I could count. While toys in general were sold in other places, TRU had way more selection and stock and even carried (in ours) things like RC cars/toys, trains, model rockets, etc. that other places didn't have or only had a very small supply of.

Going to TRU as a kid was a huge deal for me, even if we weren't well off enough to buy too much from there. It was just fun to see all the neat and cool toys/model/hobby stuff in there and when you're young, the store was massive.

I also had a KayBee toys in our local mall, but it was much smaller in supply than the TRU 40m away.

Ah, yep.. You're right.. That will serve me trying to /. while listening to someone drone on in my ear about some project they want me to be a part of even though the project has 0 need of any of my skillsets and the only reason I'm being asked is so someone else won't have to do the work...

my bad

That's not what you said though. You said:

"If you use anyone as a "fact checker" you are probably hopelessly naive."

Now you're giving qualifications to that statement that weren't present the first time.

Of course you'll have some topics that are of personal interest to you. But, your statement was a de facto if you listen to any fact checker you're probably naive. Which is why I said what I said. It's relevant to your first statement, which was a reduction statement. One person cannot possibly know all facts, so there are plenty of times you simply have to accept what other people say as facts, are indeed facts.

So, the only things you know as a fact are things that you have personally proven? Even then, how do you know your facts are facts and not something else that happened by coincidence?

Otherwise, everything you know is sourced from a fact-checker that has validated the data as factual.

and if the follow up will be Android PP

Yeah, we've not been that in years now.. Sadly.

Try riding the Red or Blue lines in Chicago and get back to me on that.

4.... "It's EDS 4."

Well, it all depends I suppose.

If you ask someone to respond to you, they've been told to respond by years of social conditioning from people in general (friends, family, school, etc). So, we learn that we need to respond to commands and not just ignore them. By this person not responding, it doesn't mean they shut off more than consciousness and it could very well be that the brain's ability to take in a verbal command, decode the sound in to words, string those words together in to a language we know and then see if we know what it means as a whole sentence/command and then choose to ignore/act, is a part of consciousness.

It's quite possible that person with that sheet disabled, did hear the sounds, their brain did understand what the words meant, but no further ability to interlink the command to the concept of response. It's not autonomic like other things would be, like tapping a reflex point.

Well, if it's not THE center, then it's one more place we've crossed of as NOT.. So, that's useful.

Yeah, it's the "brings it all together" area that allows us to fully integrate all our sensory data and actually do stuff with it. Or, so the test showed in that patient. It would need more sample size to know for sure. But, if that's the case, then that gives people a specific part of the brain to look at and reverse engineer to "bring it all together" in other systems to see if i's the seat or not. It might be part of it, but not the actual seat.. More like a sensory integration bit that merges all our input together and sends it to other areas that actually have our consciousness.

It would be like pulling a fuse in a circuit thinking well, that's where power comes from vs, no you just interrupted the path.

There's actually a procedure we've done to a live human that has actively shut off of their consciousness and otherwise left them awake.

LOL @Flamebait.. It's the truth. I don't really care if someone doesn't like it, but it's not bait.
