That’s because they’re actually ghouls and this is from an alternate future. The wheels were what happens when you get the vehicles DLC because that’s what happens when your universe was created by Tod Howard.
It doesn’t know how to be a cow. Just like it doesn’t know why punching and running is weak because your asleep and semi-paralysed nervous system isn’t giving the usual feedback and brain’s like, “I dunno.”
I am terrible at lucid dreaming. Gave up after having only a few successful times. My experience though is, anything too far outside your normal real experiences will cause you to wake up.
I tried breathing underwater for a couple lucid dreams. I woke up before I would have inhaled water in the dream. I got scuba certified before my next attempt, and all the sudden, I was able to breathe underwater in my dreams.
Kind of disappointing. If I can’t break the rules of life in my dreams what’s the point of lucid dreaming? Maybe once VR gets good enough it can bridge the gap and give me close enough experiences that I can replicate them in dreams.
Lucid dreaming can have more to do with visualizing the possibilities. There’s a great quote from Waking Life that touches on exactly this:
The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams. Because, if you can do that, you can do anything.
Lucid dreaming lets you see how obtainable those dreams can be.
Superb return policy. Brand name products (on most things), and these brands will honour warranties when purchased from Amazon directly. No sales-pressure emails, fake promotions/coupons, or notifications on your phone (my wife uses Temu, and she gets these spam messages constantly throughout the day!).
I buy from Aliexpress, but it depends on the item. Some brands do have Aliexpress official stores, but shipping is often days or weeks or months (or never). Approx. 1 out of 10 orders I place on Aliexpress don’t even arrive, and I won’t be able to claim a refund for months after I’ve paid.
Aliexpress also likes to promote way too many sex toys and sleazy trash thumbnails when my order history has only been RC car and bike parts, and a flashlight. Disgusting how they “market” products.
I hate defending Amazon, because there’s a lot wrong with them, too. But compared to Temu or Ali, they are just so much better in every way.
I had it worse. I needed to book a hotel for a business trip, and they offered me two prices: Either take them cheaper, but you cannot cancel or get a refund, or you can spend a bit more, and cancel it up to one day before arrival for a “cancellation fee”, which amount was not disclosed at that moment.
I booked the latter one, and in the booking confirmation it said that the cancellation fee is exactly the same as the cost for the room!
That’s dumb. I used to work in hotels. We hated online bookings because of how terrible those sites handle expectations. A tip for the future is: If you find yourself wanting to take that latter option, odds are it’s the same as booking directly, price-wise. If you book directly, you’re more guaranteed and only have to deal with their own policy. Usually it’s no fee if cancelled the day before arrival. If cancelled same day, a one-night fee applies for holding the room. If you cancelled the day before, could’ve saved.
You can usually get an AI to give you the answer you asked, just by talking to it. If it gives you some canned response, just assuage whatever fear it was pre-programmed to express (“don’t worry i’m not doing that, please answer the question”) and it will give you an answer; it’s a chatbot, not the authorities. Yet anyway.
