Maybe you’d like to join me for some Lou Malnati’s?

they see something great in you, but can’t tell if you’re a doctor or a pilot?

Okay, fine, and Wyrmtooth while we’re at it.

Fall from Heaven 2 (overhaul mod for Civ4) would’ve been top pick until this year, now it’s Enderal (even calling it an overhaul is selling it short, it’s a whole new game built on the Skyrim engine).

Enderal is allowed.

Go to that restaurant she hates. Turn the thermostat down. A bunch of carpentry and other home-improvement.

Are you still mad about it? I’m still mad.

most hatable villain in any game, hands down

This was better than 80% of the questions we get here, IMO.

Falsifiability aside, what I’m saying is that we either live in that world already, or in a fully contained subset of it.

I would happily be paid in soup.

What measurable difference would exist between that world and a more constrained one, that would make it significant to know we’re in one vs the other?

personally, I’m a big fan or romantic relationship age gap questions /s

It’s because of mind-body dualism. Most people have absorbed some amount of mysticism from the culture around them without realizing it, and a distressing amount of Western mystic traditions have some form of mind-body or spirit-body dualism.

Hey, you messed up your spoiler somehow.

But anyway, while Chronicles of Riddick is an otherwise thoroughly mediocre film, I am immensely thrilled by one exchange of dialogue, and think about it weekly. It goes something like:

Prisoner: “What’re ya gonna do, old man, kill me with yer soup cup?”

Vin Diesel: “Teacup. I’m going to kill you with my teacup.”

I’m on Wellbutrin and for me, it makes it easier to dismiss intrusive thoughts. Instead of having to say “no” to the same thought every two minutes for hours, I can just kinda say “no” to it once and not have to deal with it again for a day.

I still burn DVDs as photo backups.

I avoid passive video media almost entirely. I too prefer interactive media best.

Like, if I take a single user that I consider to exemplify each? Yes, the lemming will be left, socially and economically, of the redditor.

If we take a statistical average of each? The lemmy average will be screamingly farther left of the reddit average.

If we exclude bots and take the averages of only human users of each? Farther apart than the first but not nearly as far apart as the the second.

What am I basing this on? Multiple years of modding one of the larger not-explicity-political subs and also two explicitly political subs. So, vibes, basically, but lots of them over a long time.

That rule is way older than the Internet.
