Definitely died as heroes.

Everyone gotta learn at some point.

Every moment in time is unique, every second that passes is a new second with a new world state. Yes there are similarities and patterns, but by shifting your focus you can always find a new way to look at the world.

Instead of trying to recreate Christmas morning 1995 for yourself, try to create Christmas morning 2025 for someone else.

Exactly. I’d also say that evidence of Trump’s crimes don’t matter to the people who support him because his crimes don’t matter to the people who support him.

Making me pay $80 for Mario Kart World impacts me way more directly than a company exploiting public water resources, ergo Nintendo is more evil than Nestle.

Nothing says “Friday” like the failure of a critical system!

Mission Accomplished.

You’re totally right, lol

I was spelling from memory and I always pronounced it as “yerk” in my head because it rhymed with “jerk”.

I’m going to leave my mistake, I’m not ashamed to be imperfect.

Brain slugs from the Animorphs book series.

The yerks are on Earth.

Physics isn’t solved, so I don’t think it’s fair to call it ruthlessly inflexible. https://youtu.be/nn94mn8ozOI

“Dream” concept leaves us in total chaos without even a theoretical chance to figure out how things work.

I disagree. There’s no reason the scientific method (observe, question, hypothesize, experiment, record data, draw conclusions) can’t be applied in dreams.

Just because your dreams aren’t consistent or logical doesn’t mean it’s impossible to have a logically consistent dream.

My go to response is usually “what do you mean by that?” Generally people say stuff like that to imply it’s impossible to “know” anything. But does it really matter if this is a dream or not?

Leao, who gained his U.S. citizenship through military service, said he was treated “very fairly.”

“They’re just doing their job,” said Leao, who is of Angolan and Portuguese descent.

What does worthwhile even mean? Have you ever had any sort of positive interaction? Who’s to say that small moment of enjoyment wasn’t worthwhile?

Go find a someone who’s asking for help and help them.

It’s a skill you can develop. For example ask yourself a question like “What do I want for lunch?” and then answer it. The more you talk to yourself the more you can learn about yourself. Be a friend to yourself.

The voices in your head are still you, and it’s up to you to decide what thoughts to act on.

There’s plenty of civil conflict. Trump is trying to make it uncivil by calling in the military (as if local police weren’t already militarized enough).

Haha, I can actually get down with that. Anyone crazy enough to do that is probably a genuine person who’s willing to engage with the insanity of existence.

Yeah, in my opinion it shows the power consumer culture has to erode the meaning of things. “This symbol used to stand for something, but it got too popular and now it’s just slapped on stuff to sell merch.”

Never get into the details, that’s where the devil is.
