miraculous survival? world’s first talking head? depends on the exact wording and if you got your intro from a benevolent fairy or a genie

coma would be the universe being nice to you. Imagine a full body paralysis where you’re aware of every second passing and the only thing you can do is rot, and maybe hope twitter’s head clown puts a dodgy chip in your brain so maybe you could feel the joy of playing solitaire again.

I think just the fact that the answer could be something like: “2 more years, suicide” is a no-go for me. I’m not a suicidal person so hearing something like this would absolutely fucking terrify me. I think the more time I’d have left the more freaked out I’d get, constantly wonder when will it start? When will the hell that pushes me to take my own life begin?

oh just because you know when you’ll die doesn’t mean you can go yolo on everything. Getting into a horrific accident and becoming bed ridden for the rest of your life doesn’t count as dying. Imagine laying in bed, body paralysed, knowing that this is the place you’ll spend 30 years in.

You’d still be need to be as careful as usual, just with a painful awareness of how many seconds you have left until the end, and with a curse of not being able to go on your own terms if something terrible happens.

wonderfully written! yes I absolutely agree with that perspective. Additionally having a mascot in the form of a guy who wholeheartedly believes he’s the son of the God (and is also god in a way because we can’t get polytheists about it of course) is a great marketing move. People always have a hard time trusting and identifying with some ethereal entity up in the sky, there’s a reason why all gods have human (or animal) faces, if Jesus was fully made up or inspired by a mentally ill guy who was completely delusional but still kind that’s another thing lol

I think all religions were either started, or greatly fuelled, by psychedelics. For example: the description of the apocalypse in the Bible sounds like a bad trip, animals morphing into each other and all. Ah yes, a “vision of the end”- did it happen right after eating some funny mushrooms or perhaps some nice cactus eh?

also i think jesus had early onset shizoaffective disorder like his mum before him but that’s by far my edgiest take

this golden retriever has committed many atrocities in the old testament

as a photographer this feels weird, there’s much more to photography than just pressing the button

yes I’d say both of these things to said groups of people at least once, if told not to because they felt it was offensive I’d obviously stop, but I believe that purposely trying to santise your own language because you assume they’ll get upset is infantalising.

As a trans person I’m often on the receiving end of such treatment, people are afraid to ask me questions I’d be happy to answer because they assume they’d upset me by a mere mention of my biology.

Walking on eggshells around minorities is, though well intended, often infantalising, as if us poor weak tortured souls couldn’t handle normal speech.

Talk to everyone normally and equally, unless you’ve been informed of ways to accommodate them better, then do it out of respect and kindness, not an assumption.

conditioning is already a part of many kinks, like discipline, corruption, or hypno

I have no idea dude, once again - I do not know what you’re on about

You misunderstood what I wrote and are arguing with me about something I didn’t say, you made up that implication yourself

Humans don’t respond well to having nothing to do.

I simply gave context to how I learn English, nowhere did I say that it’s amazing that I understood an omission of a word, in fact I said that I never noticed how it was omitted until it was pointed out. What are you on about?

where did i say it was?

for a week or two yes, but once the novelty of just chilling runs out you start feeling like shit

honestly I never even noticed that. But I did learn English like a native would - through near total immersion, and mainly monolingually instead of through translation. Whenever I learnt something new I was just like “alright so that’s how I say the thing”.

To be perfectly honest, if your language teacher points out that “I’m home” is a unique case I’d say that’s a bad move, because now you’ll second guess yourself every time you want to say it & might make mistakes you otherwise wouldn’t.

This goes for all linguistic quirks imo, so many “watch carefully for those little bits” that instead of helping you learn they make you confused. Imagine learning about through thought though taught tough throughout thorough all in one day because “they’re all very similar but very different! we put them all in the same spot to make sure you don’t get them confused :)” it’s a mental cluster fuck trying to remember which is which when you have all of them in one spot, the way to learn them is to have examples of their uses scattered across the ciriculum so that when you encounter one you can commit it to memory before you see the next one

oh i meant backdoors and vulnerabilities in the OS itself, hah, i’m pretty sure the system has all the permissions

we’ll never be a 100% safe, no matter what OS we use. We can’t defend ourselves against backdoors and newly abused vulnerabilities in any meaningful way

simple, don’t use an antivirus, stick to windows defender (before the linux crowd comes in yes I know there are basically no viruses threatening you chill), your own brain, and also not an admin account!

Don’t download shady shit, and if your PC asks you for some mysterious admin permission - the answer is “no”. If something does slip through windows defender will most likely handle it no problem!
