Salvos! 121k. Baby demon zerg larva does litrpg baby demon things and grows up to be a person and stuck outside hell and vaguely confused by all the people things! Fairly quick moving so far, also just reaching the point of, like, expanding the scope of things or moving beyond the beginner village type thing or whatever. RSS'd pretty cheerfully.

if i knew what these things were called i wouldn't have caveated that post :V

Not sure about poking this, but while it is normal for hospitals to have biometric equipment and various implants, I can think of literally nothing that would be implanted in the hand, specifically. It's a terrible place for a subdermal... anything, really. Moves around way too much, too close to heavy use/impacts, not much space, etc., etc. Just about anything implanted also requires occasional checkups or eventual removal (or breaks down normally after a bit; human insides are remarkably hostile to most things not them), and it's not something hospitals just leave alone. Medical liability is a nasty thing.

Though blood sugar monitor stuff tends to be upper arm (and temporary, and very noticeable, and require intermittent replacement) or other parts of the body, yeah. Again, I don't think I've heard of or encountered anything that gets implanted under the skin in the hand, and especially not near a finger or meeting spot between them; the closest is maybe some of the cutting edge rfid chips or whatever they are and they're both pretty new (they wouldn't have existed years ago, basically) and not really medical at all and not implanted at the area being described. It's, uh. Weird overall, basically.

Also a minor point, but a memory not changing over a long period is probably as suspicious as anything? Human memories aren't false because they change to some degree, our memory recall modifies or rearranges real memories on the regular. When something's actually persistent and unchanging there's generally something pretty odd going on, from what I understand. Even for traumatic memories and whatnot.

I'd bet money tammy could clear the monkey bars

... or... whatever those dome things are actually called. Just realized I don't know if they have another name.

More seriously there could be a second entrance for folks that actually have trouble along those lines, or I could just go to them instead. The rest of them climb!

The wonder isn't that the job ages people massively - the wonder is that anybody actually trying to do the job doesn't leave it feet-first.

I mean, yeah, now that you mention it, if something goes really goddamn weird in the next few years and I end up POTUS, having a water slide installed on wherever you finally leave office from sounds like an amazing idea.

... actually thinking on it, also having, like, a jungle gym obstacle course installed in front of the oval office and meeting rooms and such also sounds great. Learn to clamber or send your grandkids to jabber, old people.

Part of that has to do with actually trying to do the job, though, instead of fucking off to golf every two or three days or whatever.

Nah, I know pits rep is bullshit; family's had more than one mixed breed and at least a couple pures, too, over the years. Issue is just that they end up fairly strong and fairly heavy, which makes them harder to deal with if they're not well trained (and I just ain't got the energy for it; I've barely managed to partially break some of the worst habits their other dog has, and that was partially done when I didn't have a job, and the other folks here were healthier). Which is, like, shit poor match for fairly fragile old people. Bad Idea just... fits. Too well. Poor Decision Making (PDM) would do, too
