  • The only movie that legit made me cry was Seven Pounds with Will Smith. I only saw it once, and I tried real goddamn hard to suppress the tears, but a few leaked out. Luckily, none of the people I watched it with noticed, so my masculinity remained in-tact.

    I’m asking as I’m trying to understand empathy and whether it’s normal to get so invested in fake characters,

    Fuck yeah it is. It’s a beautiful thing to be so moved by something that it brings you to tears (especially art). It’s what makes us human: we’re not just mindless beasts trying to eat and fuck, we’re experiencing life to its fullest.




  • I think it went like this:

    • Linux is highly customizable
    • customizing or “ricing” your Linux machine became a hobby
    • weebs got into the hobby, infesting the space with anime waifus and other degenerate cartoons
    • some time during the weeb infestation, thigh high socks became a recurring theme
    • gay/trans programmers sarcastically posted themselves in thigh high socks
    • gay/trans programmers who didn’t get the sarcasm unironically adopted thigh high socks
    • Rust was invented

    So you see, it’s just another example of the kind of tragedies that can befall society when sarcasm isn’t clearly labeled on the internet.
