- Comment on mfw I get hit on by women 5 days ago:
When I was in high school, a girl called me at home and this dumb conversation happened.
Her: So, this girl I know likes this guy I know, but he doesn’t seem to get any of her hints. What should she do to tell him she likes him?
Me: uh, I dunno, just tell him she likes him?
Her: …like, “I like you?” Just like that?
Me: yeah
Her: I like you.
Me: yeah, you got it, just tell her to tell him that and she’ll be all set.
Her: …
Me: …was there anything else
—— The first girlfriend I had (not her) pulled me aside angrily in the hallway between classes and said something like “listen, I’ve been hitting on you for two weeks now and everyone else things we get along like gangbusters, I’m going insane; do you wanna go out with me or not?” —— Anyways, I learned a few years ago I’m on the spectrum and it really helped give a lot of context for me and my dumbass.

- Comment on Jonathan Majors Sets Acting Comeback With Daily Wire-Produced Action Movie 1 week ago:
bruh he even admits to strangling an ex and has accusations from 20+ women— statistically, one of them’s gonna not be white (not to mention statistically, attempting to strangle a woman has a near 100% chance to lead to murder).
maybe under other circumstances your unshakeable loyalty would be admirable, but here it’s just untenable and comes off dogmatic at best and suspicious at worst.
- Comment on Jonathan Majors Sets Acting Comeback With Daily Wire-Produced Action Movie 1 week ago:
…he was found guilty of assault. He was even sentenced to domestic violence intervention. There are multiple-- not just one-- unrelated, independent persons who have accused him of abuse …this isn’t even one of those “well all of the charges were dropped” scenarios like Kevin Spacey.
He went from white to black so I don’t think we’ll be hearing any allegations like this about him again. by all means, expand on this.

…“funny” in like a this-is-so-fucking-stupid way, right?
i’ve seen enough of Walsh’s opinions from social media I ain’t giving him an iota of my money or attention.
- Comment on Jonathan Majors Sets Acting Comeback With Daily Wire-Produced Action Movie 1 week ago:
For those that don’t know, Ben Shapiro’s produced movies that weren’t explicitly branded as being under The Daily Wire, including one starring Thomas Jane and Radha Mitchell.
IIRC S. Craig Zahler is suspected of getting cozy with Daily Wire as well; I can’t find anything on it right now, but reading between the lines that he has no issues casting problematic talent (i.e. Mel Gibson), and wrote a movie with near-caricatures of Native Americans, it wouldn’t surprise me.

I hate that planking is the best exercise for strengthening your lower back. They’re just so boring to do.

fwiw I don’t believe any of what I just wrote.
It’s just a creative exercise imo/fun worldbuilding
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 1 week ago:
It’s fun to think up thought experiments that explain away the reasons we can’t prove they exist.
Time isn’t linear, we’re just limited to experiencing it that way while we’re alive.
After we die, we experience time differently; in an impossible-to-describe way, but is akin to a book with limitless pages. Your existence is a bookmark in this book, and dying makes you lose your place.
It is possible to re-find your place, but with unfathomable access to unfathomable histories and futures, there is a near-infinite choice of other events and timelines for a ghost to visit and observe and experience.
Coupled with that, there are laws— some sort of physical laws, not arbitrary— to visiting the pages of this book, in that they can only be done in areas that do not cause pages before or after to change dramatically. A ghost is a spec of ink on the page; it cannot write letters, words, or sentences. If anything like this were ever done, we would never know as our minds would simply accept the memory as fact without knowing, or delete the memory of a ghost the way we space out driving on a highway or having to look at our watch a second time.
Lastly, our senses are all on varying spectrums; some of us able to see, hear, smell, experience things others cannot. One of our senses is a sense of time. Some people’s sense of time operates on a scope of a wider caliber than others, experiencing things others cannot, which is why some of us may have experienced ghosts while others haven’t.

I need to watch Superstore.
Everyone in that ad killed it and I’m always curious about the writer of it (and any other similarly clever ad) if they’re still in marketing where their talents are wasted.

…guess I’m a weirdo ‘cause I kinda like this.
I wouldn’t prefer it over an outdoor balcony, but uhh… I dunno, has a sort of backrooms vibe to it.

- Comment on "I made a website to revive dead multiplayer games (GameDate)" by batty 1 week ago:
I know I can Google it, but uhhhhh I’m lazy and wanna help drive Lemmy engagement:
Wasn’t there a multiplayer Resident Evil game wherein you could get bit and become a zombie? But like… it was ahead of its time kinda because you needed 4(?)+ PlayStations on a LAN to play it?
I remember it looked fun, and iirc reviews said it was fun, but they gave it low reviews ‘cause of the hardware hurdle.
Anyways… did anyone ever mod that into a playable, non-LAN experience one can enjoy from their PCs? If so… I’d totally put up a game date on here for that.
I might go search for my own answer and edit it into this if my phone doesn’t die.

- Comment on Is it possible that none of this is real? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but that’s what makes it a fun thought experiment imo is thinking of how the simulation accounts for our reality.
If I’m a Sim in The Sims equivalent, my dying results in the exact same outcome it does in The Sims; my avatar is gone and not resurrectable (without mods).
Maybe the Mandela effect is when we’ve moved servers from one that had different DLC.
God/Jesus/all prophets was just the admin visiting.
Ghosts are bugs in the code only visible to some of us because we have the residual DLC files that weren’t properly removed.
We can’t see far into space because the draw distance is short.
