  • Probably the opposite.

    Our “higher reasoning” and “state of awareness” (needs defining) gives us the ability to do thigns other animals can’t. For example chronic pain sufferers are taught how to manage their pain with a variety of CBT techniques. Not something you can teach a dog or cat.

    People in intense periods of intense suffering may have thw ability to dissociate from the experience (“go to their happy place”) to lessen the pain experience.

    We’re not aware animal shave this ability.

    If anything mammals of all kinds that feel pain don’t have our higher cognitive ability to help manage and supress it.

    Having said that it’s possible we feel more emotionally complex pain. Pain induced from our own minds by remembering trauma or imagining painful situations. As someone pointed out below a dying animal probably isn’t thinking about the loss of it’s family as it’s dying. But it will be feeling the pain of dying acutely.













  • On DM-Deck16 map!! Firing rockets at the ground to jump up and over to the other side and blasting your mate point blank with the frag gun mid air. God I loved that game and it wasted HOURS of my uni time playing LAN matches across campus.

    I won every tournie we set up and played in the 1st year Halls.

    When I first got the original CS thoguh I lost my skill. I didn’t have the patience for one-shot kills. I rage quit everytime I’d get headshot. I realised I was good at tanking a shot then crazy-dodging and countering. You couldn’t do that in CS. So in UT I could take a shot, rocket jump in their direction and shotgun the bastard from behind before they knew what was happening. None of those skills transffered to CS where accuracy and cover was the main aim.
