If I recall the story plot points correctly, you should probably have a Not Safe For Work tag on it. (content warnings: sexual assault, murder-suicide, torture)

How can text be NSFW? No one except you would know the actual context and longer story but you, so unless there are words like "PENIS INTO VAGINA" with big letters, I don't see how any plaintext can be NSFW.

Work filters may trigger on phrases, so it's not like someone would see it walking by, but it might be flagged for review. If the page flagged is some thread on HN nobody cares, but maybe if it isn't ...

But in reality it's just a common short-hand content warning, similar to [PDF] right before a URL that ends in .pdf.

How could company filters trigger on phrases within a webpage if TLS is used? Would they have to bug the browser itself somehow instead?

Many companies use proxies that do SSL interception.

Exactly, this is how they do stuff like detecting data exfiltration (though that can also be done by traffic flow analysis also).

Install a private CA and just decrypt TLS.

If this is a workplace outside of North Korea... it should relocate to North Korea.

Not quite as succinct as you put it. Falls into the category of "automated tools probably wouldn't notice it, but don't leave it open for sensitive colleagues to see" back when colocating was a thing.

> When AM had altered Benny, during the machine's utterly irrational, hysterical phase, it was not merely Benny's face the computer had made like a giant ape's. He was big in the privates; she loved that! She serviced us, as a matter of course, but she loved it from him. Oh Ellen, pedestal Ellen, pristine-pure Ellen; oh Ellen the clean! Scum filth.

It’s a misconception by the way that apes have large penises. They’re actually quite small. Chimps do have big balls though.

NSFW is used as a blanket warning for anything that may be offensive, triggering, haunting or traumatizing, not necessarily work. NSFL is also often used (not safe for life). Basically anything that people could go "I wish I hadn't read / seen that" at. Another one to use is CW, for content warning, followed by what it contains.

But I'm sure you know all of that. The warning is not for you personally, you may disregard it.

I thought I used the internet a lot but I must be wrong if this definition is correct. I have never seen NSFW used outside of telling it is not safe for WORK. Text is always safe for work - well unless you live in a dystopia of course but then I'd think you have bigger problems than links on HN - and anything else I see marked with NSFL or a trigger warning.

I am happy there is a warning, as I get easily disturbed by that kind of content, having some kind of flag is a plus in my opinion.

(.Y.)

good idea and you're correct. Will do

The game based on the history (available in GOG) is also pretty decent.

What is the game called?

Same as the story. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.

There was a post about the games history here on HN a while ago, quite interesting story.

Ha I found out about this from a video on Returnal

Here is an audiobook version narrated by Harlan Ellison himself:

This story is one of the reasons I consider the idea of immortality to be terrifying. Never ending life means the possibility of never ending pain.

You seem to define immortality as "cannot ever die even if you want to" which is not the usual definition. In that case it seems dangerous yes.

I don't think there is a usual definition. I have seen varying definitions of immortality. The immortals in Highlander could only be killed by beheading. The immortals in Gulliver's travel couldn't die at all, but continued to age, resulting in an island full of senile people.

I think the two most common definitions I have seen are "negligible senescence" (e.g. Elves in Tolkien) and "cannot die in any way" (e.g. some religion's understanding on the concept of an immortal soul). The latter is fairly common and matches "cannot ever die even if you want to."

That's the form of immortality in the story.

An amazing, yet deeply disturbing story.

This video is severely lacking any context - what is going on here?

What’s wrong with her?

She claims to suffer a severe neurological reaction to the vaccine. Claims her "brain is on fire". But she's not getting believed because the vaccine is safe and effective as proven by science. Adding to her anguish. A glimpse into a dystopian moment.
