Cells

A system of cells interlinked within
Cells interlinked within cells interlinked
Within one stem. And dreadfully distinct
Against the dark, a tall white fountain played.

More like smells.

what that means

New phone lock screen wallpapet

The test became torture not only in the movie but for the audience as well.

stealing
thank you, senpai

>What's it like being a NEET? Interlinked

Way off your baseline.

the baseline scenes were fantastic

i like this

I'm a fucking pleb, can someone explain how this test worked?

fucking RETARD
TRY TO REPEAT ANYTHING FROM MEMORY WHEN CALM AND COLLECTED VS BEING EMOTIONALLY DISTRAUGHT AND UNSTABLE. THEY CAN TELL A DIFFERENCE. HOW COME SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS?

interlinked

It's not memory, since he has to instantly repeat. It's a poem that brutalizes and humiliates replicants, and they test if they can bear it with no strong emotional reactions.

same thing as the vk test at its core, theyre looking for an emotional reaction. a properly conditioned replicant shouldn't be distracted by any of the emotional questions and implications being shouted while they give the proper countersign phrases

WHY DO YOU KEEP MUTTERING "you fucking idiot asshole" TO YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE ALONE? INTERLINKED

Then wouldn't it be much more effective to vary the words you're supposed to remember instead of cycling between literally two of them, and also saying the word before the question instead of after?

>tfw every tryhard faggot now starts reading Nabokov

Bravo Denis

it's not testing his memory, it's looking for the involuntary physical elements of an emotional response

But I'm saying when you just throw the word in at the end it would make it easier to just filter out the question and mindlessly repeat
And the fact that it's always one of two words makes it even easier

sounds like something I would come up with on acid

>K wasn't pretending that the cop snarling "skinjob!" didn't bother him, he was incapable of being bothered by it.

It has to be the same few words, because you have a baseline to which the current response is compared to.

He was capable from the beginning. Where do you think his sudden ability to care appeared from?

How does it humiliate them?

from my ass

>DREADFULLY DISTINCT

Pay attention next time.

Not that guy, but what? Can you elaborate?

INTERLINKED

they're just being psuedo profound they don't actually know what the hell theyre saying bro

I don't get your meme. Can you try actually communicating?

I'm too autistic to sit down and read.
Would it be worth trying to conquer my autism to read Pale Fire?

>"When you're not performing your duties do they keep you in a little box?"
>"What's it like to hold the hand of someone you love?"
"Did they teach you how to feel finger to finger?"
>"Do you long for having your heart interlinked?"
>"What's it like to hold your child in your arms?"
>"Do you feel that there's a part of you that's missing?"

Coupled with a very hostile tone and anxiety-inducing whining noise, it's clearly designed to be a degrading experience.

Literally a line from the poem. It's not something they made up on the spot.

That's not a poem though, and I'm unsure of whether it's actually from Pale Fire. Seems more like they're just insulting them at random.

Here's some shit that's better suited for an inexperienced reader

Humiliating, degrading, aggressive or just plain stressful? It's not like drill sergeants in the army (always) try to humiliate you, they are just conditioning you to handle pressure.

Not quite my bass line.

Christ thats the whole point.

Read the poem. Actually read it and then come back. Notice anything peculiar?

Do you think they chose that poem, because it sounds neat?

>Not that guy, but what? Can you elaborate?

>A system of cells interlinked within
>Cells interlinked within cells interlinked
Higher lifeform is nothing but a bunch of cells interlinked, in this case that of a replicant.
>Within one stem. And dreadfully distinct
So despite being similar to humans, theyre "dreadfully distinct".

This isnt rocket science.

1984 was my favorite book

It's also one of the worst in that list.

Good book tho.
