I’ve been thinking about where the exact line is for offensive humor…
-->
@Mharman
I'd imagine it's a shifting line,
Different for different people, different moments, different contexts.
I don't 'think I've been outraged about people joking or mocking Charlie Kirk,
Though I wouldn't say I've encouraged it.
Have really discouraged it I think.
But that's partially 'expected politeness in society,
Partially irritation at political error of such comments.
Partially dislike of a person being so jerkish towards a death, maybe.
Partial dislike of obtuseness, they think they're making some great point, but I think 'they are missing the point.
Partially too soon.
Partially not all that 'funny in joke or delivery.
Partially mind on politics, not humor.
. . .
People laugh about most 'any subject I think.
. . . I laugh about a lot.
But I think I laugh at certain jokes more in private than with people.
Never really 'liked Americans Funniest Home Videos, pain montages.
Feels a bit wrong to laugh about that in public, or even alone.
To real, empathy activates.
Easier to laugh about something abstracted maybe,
Words, or parody.
But even then.
My Dad would frequently tell people at the store or in the drive through, a joke about Michael Jackson and buns.
. . . I don't think I ever found it all that funny, seemed crass, and even worse and bizarre to tell random people that joke.
. . . But I find the South Park jokes on Jared a bit funny, again maybe it's delivery and context.
One finds a comedian telling mean jokes funny, it's what one expects.
One doesn't find a random person telling mean jokes as funny, unexpected. Feels tiring and mean hearted after a while.
. . .
Yet, even 'immediately after a disaster of some sort, humor might be funny.
Suppose some guy loses a leg,
And someone tells a joke, it's not lost, it's right over there.
I think it'd be funnier if the guy who lost the leg said it,
Than a person who saw the guy lose the leg say it,
Maybe.
-->
@Lemming
If both lost their legs they could share the joke which would be funnier.
Joke is a good way to insult people.
-->
@UltimateTrueKorea
Do people laugh when they are insulted?
I find the idea of AI or machines using brains as neural networks, interesting.
The AI being people but lacking ability until commandeering a brain.. . .
Though I'm still not sure the AI 'would be a person, so much as the brains would be,
Just be that the 'body would be overriding the brain.As even human bodies do sometimes, the mind is a plaything of the body, as the saying goes.
Course the body is also a plaything of the mind, chicken and egg.
. . . And then there's the possible error of mind/body, why not just body?
Random thoughts themselves aren't inherently unhealthy, but excessive mind-wandering and negative "intrusive thoughts" can be detrimental and are often linked to anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and high stress. While everyone experiences unwanted thoughts, if they are disruptive, distressing, or interfere with daily life, seeking help from a mental health professional is important, as they can offer strategies like cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) to help manage these thought patterns.
Who reports having random thoughts most frequently here?
It would be funny if all the votes of people who didn't vote, went whatever third party candidate had the most votes.

@Lemming
That is wishful thinking.
Didn’t this site once have a strikethrough feature? Am I tripping?
Is that a random question?
“6 7” has to be the least funny meme of all time.
Is that a fact or random guessing?
I'm not sure that memory equates to instincts too well.
Whether in the short or the long of it.
Short, mother does drugs while pregnant, health consequences for that baby.
Long, some humans go somewhere with little sun or much sun.
Skin changes.
In either case, I don't think we'd say we have 'our ancestors 'memories.
Though it is true that our genetics can reflect past roads and actions of our ancestors.
Memory seems more to me something one 'remembers.
Not ability, talent, susceptibility.
If something has a strong talent for being aware to threats because it's parents were in a heavy predator location.
I still would not call such 'memory.
. . .
I think the scope of memory they said in Assassins Creed was science fiction.
Not that I've read any more on the subject of epigenetics than a few webpage skims.
I'm not yet convinced either, that I'd call epigenetic memory, memory.
But if it 'were classified as memory, I don't think there's enough of it, that one could have such detailed memories of past lives.
. . . Though one could argue that in Assassins Creed most of the memory is fake, filling in the blanks by the scientists and person remembering.
. . . But even then, I don't think there'd be 'enough memory (If there 'is any memory) to be useful.
. . .
Maybe a species other than humans,
or if humans were modified could inherit clear memories.
In Warhammer, some space marines can eat people's brains to gain their memories.
. . .
But having a fear of spiders because your great grandfather lived during the poison spider swarm in ages past and was bit a lot,
Isn't the same as being able to remember your great great grandfathers various sense memories or data acquired by great grandfather.
For instance his name, without ever being told, seeing, or reading about it.
. . .
I also don't think you 'remember or have 'memory about something, from indirect nurture consequences.
Parent is abused as child.
Parent abuses you as child.
You do not have 'memories of your parent being abused as a child.
You are 'effected by your parent being abused as a child.
There exists information by your parents 'actions towards you, that they may have been abused.
Still not memory in my view.

@Lemming
Short, mother does drugs while pregnant, health consequences for that baby.
Sins of the mothers are sins of the sons. No, literally, if your mother was careless or evil, it is you who suffer.
-->
@UltimateTrueKorea
In a sense yeah, though I'd see it more as inherited consequences of a parents sin, than inheriting their sin.
Way of existence, that we influence and are influenced.
. . . Yet, in so much as the practicality of Free Will exists, and other consequences influencing us which may be positive, suffering might be overcome.
Berean Standard Bible
"The soul who sins is the one who will die. A son will not bear the iniquity of his father, and a father will not bear the iniquity of his son. The righteousness of the righteous man will fall upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked man will fall upon him."
Berean Standard Bible
"You must not harbor hatred against your brother in your heart. Directly rebuke your neighbor, so that you will not incur guilt on account of him."
Berean Standard Bible
"Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted."
Berean Standard Bible
"Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—"
. . . Course the Bible says a lot of things.

@Lemming
I'd see it more as inherited consequences of a parents sin, than inheriting their sin.
Sin results in consequences for the person which does it, but even more for other people.
So yes, person A is more punished for sin X than person B, even tho person B did the sin.

@Lemming
Yes, past memories are directly related to random thoughts
, as random thoughts are often a product of involuntary autobiographical memories that are triggered by a cue, emotion, or neural activity related to a past experience. The brain uses a mechanism called pattern completion to activate memories, so a partial activation of a past memory can lead to the full recall of that memory, even if it feels random. While often functional, if these memories become frequent, intense, or uncontrollable, they may be a symptom of a mental health condition, such as anxiety or OCD.

I wanna hear the joke now lol
-->
@Mharman
Looking online, as I forget my Dad's exact iteration.
2003,
You hear about the new sandwich at McDonalds inspired by MJ?
It's 45 year old meat between 12 year old buns.
2016,
What does Michael Jackson and McDonalds have in common?
They both stick their meat into five year old buns.
2018,
Have you guys heard of the New Michael Jackson burger at McDonalds?
Its Comes with 50 year old meat between 8 year old buns.
-->
@Lemming
that’s wild
-->
@Lemming
McDonald’s would sue anyone for telling how stale their buns are.
I own, William Shakespeare's Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope by Ian Doescher.
Kind of a fun take on it.
I wonder if a similar treatment would work well for Ciaphas Cain?
-->
@Lemming
Are you expecting a random reply?
-->
@Shila
No.
Though I was aware of such a possibility.
-->
@Lemming
That was wishful thinking.
I wonder if comedians ever have it in their wills, that people shall do stand up comedy at their funeral.
-->
@Lemming
I am sure even comedians don’t want people laughing at their funeral. There is a time and place for everything.
