Joined 19, got into a debate about what counted as real pain, was a vitriolic dick to the point of trolling. Perma banned with agreement from Tuomey.
21:39:12 <Tanta> I don't think most people have experienced real pain, InitHello
21:39:12 <@Tuomey> It's the difference between sitting still for a needle vs not realising you got stabbed with a needle
21:39:15 <Tanta> just normal everyday shit
21:39:28 <phyre> Not all of it, but my friend was really into it, so I read at least half a dozen of the books.
21:39:34 <Panteradactyl> A "pain-resistance" super power would be something like what the Krogan from Mass Effect have; they can feel pain, and register it, but it doesn't effect their mental or physical abilities.
21:39:41 <Panteradactyl> They just know that they're injured.
21:39:51 <phyre> *affect
21:39:54 <Hippo> Same! Well, not the friend part, just the half-dozen book parts. I thought it was kind of cool — I started reading more of Piers Anthony's stuff, though, and it weirded me out >_>
21:40:09 <Panteradactyl> phyre, I figured it'd be effect because it seemed like a verb?
21:40:13 <Modern_Erasmus> On
21:40:16 <@Lily> Tanta: what defines real pain?
21:40:19 <phyre> 'Affect' is normally a verb.
21:40:29 <Modern_Erasmus> On a pale horse was pretty trippy Hippo
21:40:30 <phyre> 'Effect' is normally a noun.
21:40:31 <Tanta> Lily, I'd go with levels of substance P in a spinal tap
21:40:37 <Tanta> if you want to quantify it
21:40:52 <@Lily> Tanta: pain is pain, it is all real; some is just more severe than others
21:40:59 <Tanta> that's a stupid view
21:41:02 <@Lily> And there are many types of pain, not just physical
21:41:06 <@Lily> Emotional pain exists too
21:41:11 <No0n3Left> It's more about how the brain reacts to pain
21:41:13 <Tanta> pain is the trauma (sensation) and the suffering (affective component)
21:41:17 <Hippo> modern_erasmus: I think I read that one!
21:41:21 <@Lily> Tanta: please tell me how realising pain is, in fact, pain, is stupid?
21:41:26 <@Lily> .def pain
21:41:27 <%jarvis> lily: pain - noun: 1. An ache or bodily suffering, or an instance of this; an unpleasant sensation, resulting from a derangement of functions, disease, or injury by violence; hurt. 2. The condition or fact of suffering or anguish especially mental, as opposed to pleasure; torment; distress; sadness; grief; solicitude; disquietude. verb: 1. To hurt; to put to bodily uneasiness or anguish; to afflict with
21:41:35 <phyre> Occasionally, one can 'effect a change' or something like that, but for the most part, you can affect events and events have effects.
21:41:36 <@Lily> It says nothing about spinal taps here
21:41:42 <Hippo> Lily: Oh man I think it would be super-interesting to have an SCP that's immune to all pain, even emotional pain. Just because I'd be really curious as to what that would look like.
21:41:54 <Hippo> Like I don't think it would be a *good* thing
21:42:01 <Tanta> Lily, you don't read neurophysiology journals
21:42:05 <Tanta> you are just a dilettante
21:42:08 <Tanta> play-acting on the internet
21:42:15 <Hippo> O_O
21:42:23 <@Lily> Don't be rude
21:42:29 <Tanta> hahah
21:42:29 <@Tuomey> Tanta: have you had a conversation with people before?
21:42:33 <Tanta> yeah
21:42:43 <Hippo> Tanta: Pretty sure we're all dilettantes!
21:42:46 <Modern_Erasmus> Reminds me of r/iamverysmart
21:42:54 <Hippo> I mean… unless there's a neurologist in the room. There might be! >_>
21:42:58 <Tanta> substance P is a new biomarker for people with chronic nerve pain
21:43:01 <@Tuomey> Going by your conduct thus far, you could've fooled me. Speaking as an operator, try to not be a dick.
21:43:03 <Tanta> it's not in clinical practice yet
21:43:11 <weryllium> .def dilettante
21:43:12 <%jarvis> weryllium: dilettante - noun: 1. An amateur, someone who dabbles in a field out of casual interest rather than as a profession or serious interest. 2. A person with a general but superficial interest in any art or a branch of knowledge. (Sometimes derogatory.). adjective: 1. Pertaining to or like a dilettante.
21:43:21 <NineVolt> Hippo Something that can't feel any pain at all would have a major disadvantage at survival
21:43:36 <Hippo> NineVolt: Yeah, I'm just thinking of applying that, like, emotionally
21:43:43 <NineVolt> Hippo Hmm
21:43:45 <Tanta> I don't follow rules or listen to people who try to boss me around

21:43:52 <Hippo> Like physical pain is obviously for determining your current physical state
21:43:53 <phyre> Tanta, very few people read neurophysiology journals. If you do, yay for you. I'm sure there's something else you know very little about that someone here is an expert on.
21:44:08 <Hippo> So how does that apply to emotional pain, what happens when you can't feel emotional pain; you become oblivious to your emotional state, in some sens?
21:44:09 <Tanta> I've spent about 8k hours reading medical literature, phyre
21:44:11 <No0n3Left> You don't have to read insertlongword to know that the spine isn't what registers pain
21:44:15 <@Lily> Tanta: you have to follow the rules here, or you'll face disciplinary action
21:44:19 <Tanta> then boot me

21:47:45 <phyre> Yeah, fair enough.
21:47:48 <Scented_Shadow> why is it called dogpiling, like what do dogs have to do with it
