The rules for magic and the rules of existence in most fictional universes are significantly more defined (and, arguably, more solid) than the rules for science and existence in this world.

Even the brush off of “Its magic. I don’t have to explain it,” at least indicates that SOMEONE understands the effect and its relative existence.

If you find 5 people who say that they fully understand a single branch of science then I’d bet all of my money in my pocket that you found them in a padded recovery room sans shoe laces.

Companies even do this if you have a 5g modem.

There is a 2 hour window at the end of the month in which I am miserable.

I’m at the tip of the US’s Wang and have zero access to wired internet, so I am stuck. 😞

Before June 2023, I was a mod on several Reddit communities for about 13 years and outside of Reddit since the turn of the century. I just kinda stepped back once the Reddit BS happened.

10 months later, my happiness and over all quality of life has improved. Not only am I no longer stressed (bye bye moderation based nightmares!), but I have way more time to dedicate to my passions and goals.

I thought that dedication to holding together a few niche communities and battling the “bad guys” defined me and gave me a sort of immortality.

I was VERY wrong.

Our great grand kids won’t be trolling reddit archives, telling everyone how “cool” grandpa was.

The greatest thing I ever did to improve my QOL was step away from moderating and leading communities on the internet as a whole. Doubly so if they involve political talk.

Thank you very much. This is something that I really needed to hear.

I feel like I’m walking through a fog, having to do the same things I did dealing with death stuff that I had to do for my grandmother not but 3 months ago.

I will for sure do that sort of meditation and I will see if it works. I’m sure it will as it seems like a good way to hack a memory…

Thank you so much for taking the time that you did to write that out for me.

We all want to have an immortal legacy. Any good he’s ever done is going to be overshadowed.

You can build 1000 bridges and fuck one clown. You won’t be known as a bridge builder but a clown fucker.

Thank you very much for the information

The thing that got me so confused over it was that it was stuffed under the bed. When my grandmother passed in Feb, they took all their trash with them.

I’m not going to put significant moral blame on the paramedics, but I wish they would have left the trash out for me at least to see.

Having to reach under the bed to see what was under there and getting my had covered in blood and other fluids seriously about made me vomit in shock alone.

I appreciate that they tried to save my father’s life which is why I’m only mildly upset. I’m not wanting to “karen” them as I’m sure it was a mistake, and a weird one at that.

It’s sort of what World of Warcraft did with gold.

The gold farms were making TONS of money selling illegal gold in much the same way upvote farms are making a killing.

Upvotes are free for them to give, and they would have a money printer on their hands.

Someone should answer the phone because we all fucking called it.

What’s next in the Reddit bingo?

The removal of old reddit?

Limiting the number of posts we can see per day as a normal user?

Buy upvotes?

The slippery slope logical fallacy doesn’t count when there is actual factual evidence.
