  • Looks like it does! Your double ~~ are rendering strikethrough for me (Jerboa)

    I had searched it up but didn't find it and just went with a shitty ASCII overlay haha

  • "hey hun i've got an exciting business opportunity for you!!1!"

  • "you wouldn't -d̵o̵w̵n̵l̵o̵a̵d̵- drone-rob a pizza..."

  • don't even need to be sentient. just mount a rail gun on a Spot and then we're off to the Skynet races 🤖

  • 🎶 mountain mountain mountain mountain mama 🎶

  • reminder that the following are awful scraps from which to make vegetable stock as they're too bitter:

    • lettuce, cabbage, other leafy greens
    • broccoli
    • brussels sprouts
    • any kind of pepper
  • adding a note here that the F-droid listing is many versions behind. I installed from GitHub

  • This is the argument/reassurance I hear most often, but it doesn't make me less afraid, unfortunately. Even if I were shown undeniable proof that my consciousness will stop existing after my death and therefore be unable to experience negative emotions/pain/fear/etc., my problem is that, well, I just really don't wanna stop existing.

    To me, nonexistence is only preferable to a hell-type afterlife of guaranteed eternal suffering

    If I could choose, I'd most prefer reincarnation (preferably as a human or other sapient being...)

    I'm still haunted by the possibility that I send a version of myself to oblivion every time I lose consciousness. 🫠

  • Agnosticism after doubting my way out of Protestantism in my teens. Major contributing factors were my parents' divorce (which was clearly the right thing for them to have done, as one was abusive) and realizing I was queer

    I'm split damn near 50/50 on whether I think a deity or deities exist. Physics observations that suggest our universe is a simulation, and weird things about consciousness (dreams, deja vu, near death experiences, psychedelic experiences, cultural parallels in seemingly isolated ancient civilizations, etc.) fascinate me and keep me wondering what might be "up there." At the same time, studying biology made me realize the "power" of randomness over millions of years to "create" what people find meaningful without there necessarily having to be divine influence. Typewriter-monkey-Shakespeare philosophical stuff.

    I really, really hope reincarnation or a non-hell afterlife exist, though. I am TERRIFIED of oblivion. :(

  • Former smoker. The specific medical warnings are good imo. "Poison in every puff" is a little too goofy and my inner teenager reaction is just "hell yeah" hahaha. Which is funny, but also counterproductive.

  • Honestly the main problem I see here is people setting fire to items in a public space without proper combustion containment.

    Like, sure, burn a book if you feel like it. But you should coordinate with the local fire department and use an approved and setting-appropriate container like a burn barrel, chiminea, etc.

    Safety first, folks :]

  • Any kind of hobby shop or event is a good starting place.

    • tabletop and card game stores
    • comic shops
    • video game stores
    • music and records stores
    • art studios and galleries
    • batting cages, public tennis courts, etc.
    • gyms
    • libraries (tend to have events)
    • trivia nights, karaoke, etc. at bars
    • comedy clubs
    • pool and billiards halls
    • check your city/town government's website and social media for events
    • also check public parks' sites

    Good luck and happy friending :)

  • I did in US middle school (8th grade, 2008 or 2009) but it was a knotted rope, so the knots acted as footholds, making it much easier. Also there was a marker 10' or so up and we weren't supposed to pass it to avoid fall injuries. Very nerfed from the archetypical gym class rope climb. As a severely out of shape nerd I still struggled with it :']

  • "Chlorophyll is so last season. Don your accessory pigments and be weeks ahead of the fashion curve!"

  • Exactly, I have no idea. The "probably(?)" in my comment should have been a "maybe," probably maybe.

  • Very true. The best machines have the fewest moving parts

  • well technically it is powered, just directly by wind and water kinetic energy, probably(?) much more efficiently than if it had been converted to electricity first

  • I'm In This Photo and I Don't Like It

  • I read forever ago that deleting plugins and brushes you don't use helps slightly. Can anyone confirm/deny?
