I mean… In my life I’ve gone from a (naive child that took my parents words for fact) theist, to agnostic atheist, all the way to whatever the fuck I am now. It’s all a matter of perspective.

You go deep enough into metaphysics you can trip yourself the fuck out.

If anyone wants to humor me, check out this seemingly innocuous video about a comic book villain. Let’s debate some metaphysics!

The ancient era of 1980 where color photos didn’t exist.

In a FPTP voting system, you cannot vote earnestly. To do so all but guarantees the election of the opposition.

There are a lot of negatives to be sure, but some positives too. It’s a double edged sword. Hyper focus can cause the absorption of lots of information, and the changes in attention can take someone to myriad topics. That can help create connections between areas of knowledge that might not usually mix, aiding in creative problem solving.

I don’t lament my ADHD, I just wish I knew about it earlier, so I could have adapted better.

Don’t know why you got down voted for that. HDR might be the only reason I use 11.

Met her in Copperbell Mines in FFXIV.

I would like to see a more accurate one that actually just listed passed and proposed legislation for each one instead of just circlejerk fodder.

Link to the Past for being my first. Twilight Princess for the modern era.

I wear whatever I want whenever I want. I have no carpets to fuss over, and I have cats so you never know when you might step in some mess. We vacuum and mop regularly so don’t really care.

Yes, effective communication strategies are a vital and required skill set for the most learned among us. It is the duty of the rational to communicate knowledge and understanding to the irrational. They certainly can’t do it themselves.

This. As someone with severe combined type ADHD, it is vitally important to develop coping strategies. Timers, alarms, calendar entries, etc. Anything and everything that works. I also recommend passing your decision making process through a mental prioritization framework so you target the lowest hanging fruit (choose biggest impact tasks that require the least amount of effort to complete).

Now there’s an idea. Let’s do the same thing with Trump’s voice. His base is stupid enough to obey.

You mean lease it? Rent it? Own implies it’s mine period. Not mine until they decide to remove it. A bank can’t take away your house cuz they feel like it after you’ve paid for it.

Well, I felt that one.

Fair enough. I’ll never argue against being specific and accurate!

I will grant that it is different. But is it meaningfully different? Either way, the people are not represented.

Gamer here. Go fuck yourself Ubisoft. You can quote me on that.

I don’t know what that means. I don’t think we are communicating. Just talking past each other. Be well.

Ok, well, I hope that works out for you. Really do. Weapons got us where we are today for better or worse. If you pine for a life in the woods, that’s certainly a way to live life. But regardless of what you decide, the tech isn’t going anywhere. And your competitors will be using it. And those who abhor weapons can still die upon them.

Semantics. It’s genocide then. Or some other more technical term. There’s a word for it, who cares? Everyone knows what we mean. And that’s the point of words. To covey a meaning from one mind to another.

If you want to play the semantics game and abolish in-context definitions of words, then abolish all slang and idioms too.
