Anticorp, in Christmas in Gotham [Safely Endangered]

Isn’t Santa omniscient? He should already know where the presents are, so he must be a sadist.

bionicjoey, (edited )

Santa isn’t omniscient. He sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake. We can infer from this phrasing that he can’t see you when you’re awake. He also knows if you’ve been bad or good but that information isn’t as specific.

What if I upload my consciousness to the internet, then ran that through a VPN and Tor and iP2P and all that, think I could shake him?

Idk I bet he’s got contacts all throughout the NSA. He’s got a hell of a blackmailing racket going.

Or maybe part of his elf crew includes an elite hacking division, and he’s essentially in every government network.

Anticorp,

You can’t even shake Facebook or Google that way. How do you expect it to work against a demi-god?

I think we’re discussing the limitations of a fictional being. In the context of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”, I’m not sure his powers apply to the internet, being that “He sees you when you’re sleeping…”, but he only “… knows when you’re awake.” So if my incorporeal consciousness was uploaded to the internet, do you think I could spoof my online status to green, so that I’d be untraceable to Santa?

Anticorp,

Possibly. I have seen many drawings depicting Santa being threatened by technology.

If we’re building a thing, I don’t think Krampus would be as limited, but his punishment wouldn’t be as dire.

I reckon he knows if you’ve been bad or good because of the parents’ assessment of their children’s goodness. That is not a specific Santa power, except in as much as the power of Santa to get that parental assessment is a power

I think it has to be based on the parents, as clearly bad kids still get presents, and only their mother thinks they’re good.

aeronmelon,

Our subconsciousness dreams Santa into existence.

Stunning, in Cialis [Mr Lovenstein]

Commercial always play with volume FULL BLAST talking about dick pills while the young family is just trying to enjoy a show.

For those who don’t live in the land of burgers like me this is shockingly accurate. Right down to the bathtub that’s mysteriously on the beach.

So often the drug commercial won’t even tell you what the fuck the drug is for. You just see a bunch of old fucks dancing around all happy and then at the end its like ‘ask your doctor if drugname is right for you’

Sharpiemarker,

Ask your doctor if Lipafedatorapraxazol is for you.

GraniteM, (edited )

Lipafedatorapraxazol is not recommended for those who drink water, or who may drink water in the future. Lipafedatorapraxazol is associated with strange dreams, enhanced chundering, and suicidal thoughts and actions. Lipafedatorapraxazol should not be taken on days that end with the letter Y. If you experience drooling, barking, or muscle spasms while taking Lipafedatorapraxazol, stop taking Lipafedatorapraxazol at once, as these may become permanent.

Sharpiemarker,

All this to treat my seasonal allergies? I’ll take death, thanks.

Texas_Hangover,

Enhanced chundering? Kickass!

electric_nan,

Except that in the actual commercial, they are in separate bathtubs lol.

Because jesus

AWistfulNihilist,

You can’t sell a hard dick pill and put the woman in the same small tub! Jesus, they would need to be in a pool alone, or in a hot tub with other people. Can you imagine the scandal of people understanding his dick is being used in a vagina!

Based on our dick pill commercials, you’d think they were anti depressants specifically for wealthy older men. Welcome to puritan America.

StupidBrotherInLaw,

It’s like 1950s television - they push the two tubs together to fuck.

In some countries, like Canada, directly advertising for prescription drugs is illegal. But the marketing folks behind the drugs find these sorts of legal loopholes. The “ask your doctor” line is a cover-your-ass version which is actually saying “Google it”.

Bashnagdul,

Most 1st world countries even.

Viking_Hippie,

Actually, some 1st world countries such as for example Denmark, don’t allow ads for prescription medications at all. Which is the correct way.

Bashnagdul,

That’s what I said most 1 st countries don’t allow for drug ads.

I always wonder if people go to the doctor with a long list of drugs.

Is X right for me? No? What about Y? No? What about Z?

@SoleInvictus@lemmy.world avatar

I do but I have a rare disease that medical science still isn’t sure how to treat, so I got a few science degrees so I can read studies and make suggestions to my doctors. I’m basically my own doctor now, I just need someone to write the prescriptions and tell me if I’m being an idiot.

TacoNissan,

Oh hey, my dad did the same thing for his super rare disease. He actually pitched an experimental surgery to his doctor, and it worked extremely well and is now an option for others.

They can advertise, they just can’t say what the drug is for. I’ve seen a few Ozempic commercials, where its just a dozen people asking “Have you tried Ozempic? Ask your doctor” for the entire commercial.

I wish they wouldn’t, as a diabetic actually on the drug I’ve experienced so many shortages this year because of all the off label use. And while mounjaro is approved, they can’t make enough of it to supply Canada

FlihpFlorp, in Cialis [Mr Lovenstein]

Side effects may include spontaneous dancing, necromancy, chanting to old gods, and a mild case of death

Sorry to be that guy but Camus’ whole point is that Sisyphus knows what the struggle is. While we have goals we will never reach, he can live in the moment since there is no meaning

Maven,

Every time I explain this to someone, it seems like another-- hey, wait a minute!

My favourite attraction is L’Etranger’s shooting gallery.

They shine a spotlight in your eyes while you try to shoot targets that look like Algerian men.
