“Sentience has broader and narrower senses. In a broad sense, it refers to any capacity for conscious experience. […] In a narrower sense, it refers to the capacity to have valenced experiences: experiences that feel bad or feel good to the subject, such as experiences of pain and pleasure”.

Taken from https://academic.oup.com/book/57949/chapter/475703402

Also, here is an article about the Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness that strongly supports the claim that sentience is a trait shared by most, if not all, of the animal kingdom.

The back lf your throat doesn’t have taste buds tho.

Thanks for pointing that out, it really does change the narrative!

Anyone else absolutely triggered that “first name of James Bong actors” was just a trap?

Violence, especially if said in a french accent. Also, Malaria and Ebola for twins.

Just spitballing here. First and foremost on the listening side, if used subtly, reverb is a great tool to make the music feel more organic. Theres an uncanny quality to very dry sounds, since we are subconsciously used to some level of reverb. Then, on the playing side of things, reverb is a great way to hide mistakes, muffled noted, and every other happy little accidents.

Jerboa here, works as intended!

First time playing, that was fun! One the last one I first thought

Biologicalsex and gender are not synonyms.

*lose the “c’est” to have to correct way of saying it

That’s a daring non-answer. I’m genuinely curious to know what stance you think Trump will take against Netenyahu’s continued genocide.

Also, about what “my” side has done and what lines “I were perfectly comfortable using”, or how I’ve been “condescending”, we’re strangers on the internet and that previous comment was my first one made to you. You don’t have enough information about my point of view to assume as much as you did. Or maybe you simply mistaken me for another commenter.

Either way no need to engage in profanity, it gives your whole vibe an unnecessary violent undertone. I’m sincerely just curious to know more about where you come from ideologically and I think it can be done respectfully and with civility.

Do you really think Trump is not going to back Netenyahu and let him do exactly as he pleases?

Gimme some figs on a pulled pork bbq slice with thinly sliced red onions on top, that’d be awesome
