Face lookup of contacts so I get reminded of people’s names.

Okay, I stop reading here. That’s fucking insane.

I want to be dominated by a ghost! She would be translucent—and—can possess your prostate to squeeze and release at high frequencies! Her favorite music is “Scooby Doo-style,” and her favorite activity is rotating furniture when people aren’t looking!

This post is so unhinged xD I love it

I upvoted yours :p

I don’t want to be a Hi-C Sprite mix :(

Uh… Do you have aphantasia, perhaps?

It would not be.

“Success in life” is like knowing how to cook, or being able to get along well with other people.

Consensus in that regard would look like a strong trust in said experts’ views, and that people feel those experts are sympathetic if nothing else to the needs of the people they’re serving. It doesn’t necessarily mean giving creationism a seat at the biology table.

But also, bear in mind this is about avoiding conflict. If your situation does not care about avoiding conflict, then it doesn’t really matter.

What gets me so often in retro gaming is the desire of some to “repair” the past.

This would indicate the ‘hate’ is on ideological grounds.

I tend to agree, if I’m being honest. I sometimes see the retro modding community excited about improvements they’ve made: new models swapped in for characters, upscaled backgrounds with 10x the detail that was ever put into them, 4k textures stretched over low-poly objects like an animal wearing a skin suit. And these are called ‘better’. This is how new people are told to play these old games: we have added 4 cups of sugar to make the horrible taste easier to swallow.

I see this and I think… why? Why be this way?

Can you imagine if we raised new generations to treat paintings the same way? The Mona Lisa is not worth seeing because it is too old and ugly, but it can be made tolerable to one’s senses with the new power of AI?

This image is profane. It can only be produced by a sick people.

I worry that people’s desire for this kind of thing indicates a lack of curiosity in life. An unwillingness to do anything not already familiar to them. I would consider this attitude a character flaw in most people, if I met them.

That’s all well and good, but AI makes me want to die, so I’m not using it.

I’m not using AI.

How did you hear about that? I can’t imagine the odds, haha.

I can smell jealousy from a mile away, man. If you want to wear a skimpy outfit, by all means.

I do admit that it’s feasible.

But, considering it has very little to do with the matter at hand, why bring it up? Why bring it up in this way? Why suggest that we and them are in league with each other?

Also, “do you condemn hamas?”
“Do you condemn hamas?”
“Do you condemn hamas?”
“Do you condemn hamas?”
“Do you condemn hamas?”
“Do you condemn hamas?”
“Do you condemn hamas?”

Lying by omission and lying by over-reaction (“histrionics”, but that word’s a bit nerdy) are definitely ones that ought to be added to Bible 3, which I heard~ is supposed to be a prequel—isn’t that fun?

Based on the small sample size of arguments I’ve personally had with proud theologians, I absolutely think this is true.

If I recall, it’s actually tit-for-tat with occasional forgiveness. Two tit-for-tats can get stuck in an endless back-and-forth.

Regardless, I love that you brought that up; it’s one of my favorite game theory lessons.

I’d say (different person) it’s just not relevant. It’s cry-bullying.

If he wants to show evidence, he can. But even then, he ought to be showing it to mods or something—what are we supposed to do about it? Are we suddenly not upset about the secret ban list?

Anyone with a touch of fame, caught in a scandal, loooves talking about the alleged violence of their opponents. Do you remember when BLM was happening and Fox was pretending that the entirety of Portland was on fire? Or literally anything Isreal has said about Gaza?

I don’t actually know that he hasn’t received one, single death threat, but since what he wants is sympathy for his crimes, I’m inclined not to give him any.

Oh yeah, I don’t hide them. Votes even on reddit can be a useful temperature check for audience engagement.

I do think it’s funny when people whine about getting downvotes, though; it betrays just a little bit of discomfort with whatever else they’re saying.
