`permanent physical vessel`
Nah fuck that I already went over the fact that I'm gonna be gettin' a sweet robo body
Have fun with permanent medication so your body doesn't reject the prosthesis. 😦
I was shooting the shit with this Korean girl the other day, and we landed on the topic of plastic surgery
I said my bit, and she's like "that's not fair, men wear different clothing to look different, it's like clothing"
I mean, sure, kinda like clothing
Alright alright let's rewind.
goes over your organs and your bones
You're a person who says "Shoot the shit" and continues talking like that isn't a punchline.
Alright continue.
what's wrong with shooting the shit?
It's like a lightning rod for stupid-lightning.
sure
I mean, people say the stupid stuff when they feel comfortable
Ever met someone who can't finish a sentence without a "fuckin'" somewhere in it?
It's a sad sight. And this isn't the same thing, but..
Well, the milder version of that is charming, or simply an everyday reality.
You're just jealous that I'm going to have fuckin' tank treads on my fuckin' legs.
fine, we were shooting the breeze instead.
Everyday reality can mean beheading depending on where you live.
I don't understand the metaphor in general.
It's from the same lexicon as "Lollygagging"
AFAIK there's no medication people have to take for the current set of bionic parts
So why would it be the case for more advanced stuff?
well, shooting the breeze is related to "shooting your mouth off"
and "talking to the wind"
Well the medication is more to keep my brain from screaming in pain and confusion because I'm going to have replaced my entire body. But I'll get a sweet buzzsaw for a hand in exchange
Speaking and not expecting anything productive to come out of it, necessarily.
But with a different connotation that "talking to a brick wall"
the breeze is soft, and it doesn't feel so bad to waste energy speaking to it
shit is also relatively soft
talking to hard or impassable things like "the hand" or a "brick wall" connotes that your words are stopping at that object.
That's gonna be me
There we go, do you get it now? I was shooting the shit, I say. Shooting it.
Shooting the shit? Who even says that?
Me

Apparently prosthetics with what basically amounts to artificial nerves could bypass phantom limb pain
Since it's a psychological problem
