It shouldn’t matter in the first place though. Such a story can happen, because, to the surprise of the internet, women are humans and individuals. If a person falls victim to such a scenario, they were just a victim to one individual, not all women in the world, let alone all people in need of help in public.

To be honest, the majority of shower thoughts here are just thoughts, especially in the last few months. On the other hand, it is not precisely defined in the community description either ¯\(ツ)/¯

It is always possible that none of this is real, but then everything you know to be real and normal is from this fake reality. You have no way to identify a real anomaly. You still do exist and you do matter, because what you sense, think and live through is your reality.

I didn’t find a word that on its own echos this exact situation. However if you leave out the details, you won’t need a lot of words either, e.g.:

Oh yeah, awkward coincidence the other day — I ran into Sebastian McGillicuddy wearing the same T-shirt as last time lol. Hate when that happens.

But it’s certainly a more interesting and vivid story with the details you gave us. Much like Michael McGillicuddy’s infamous ‘Genesis of McGillicutty’ promo :)

I remove my upvotes. I never understood the auto-upvote feature in the first place.

Awesome, love the Let it be cover!

Is it perhaps this Lemmy post that leads to https://www.unlistedjobs.com/ ?

One can only fight this pessimism for themselves. For some people there is no urge to fight it. They want to be part of the hardest times. Perhaps it works as a coping mechanism and in the end the problems most relatable to you are those that you are facing.

But if someone truly wants to feel less pessimism, all you have to do is to look back and reflect on history. A lot of people miss how long some “modern” problems have truly existed, long before it became relevant to them, from decades to millenniums. Some are totally aware of it, but it may be difficult to look at the past of a problem where you didn’t care about it or may even have been part of the problem. Or the history was so long ago that you only look at is as stories and nothing you can relate to.

We also underestimate our ability to live through the hell and normalize it. We were doomed multiple times and here we are. Vice versa, we underestimate the quality of life (especially in the western world) we have today. It’s not only hygiene, health and entertainment. We have progressed in our thoughts so much. Again, a lot of problems have only changed in how we recognize them as such. I’m not saying you shouldn’t fight fascism, because a lot of modern fascism used to be normalized not too long. I’m saying that we should be aware that we live in a time where we don’t ignore these problems in the first place.

But “itis” isn’t “it is”, is it?

I will gift a water bottle to anyone named “Mike D” who posts a picture of their gun within the next five minutes.

It doesn’t matter, because you don’t remember your past lives anyway.

Could it be “Woodcabin” by Saint Etienne? If not, how close is it?

Thanks for pointing that out.

Even more, if you count water as a drug.

Oh, my bad, thought it was only YouTube.

On Youtube there is a checkbox to mark paid promotion in a video. There will at least be the common label for paid promotion. I don’t think hiding a paid promotion is worth the risk for big Youtube channels.

I wouldn’t assume anything with only this information. Jokes about death and suicide aren’t uncommon and we don’t know how they mean it. However it doesn’t hurt to ask them and give them the opportunity to share their pain and sad songs with you.

Do you mind if I do not do that?

What I meant is that some people portray the thin flat object itself as a 2D object, e.g. a piece of paper opposed to a box. I do understand that it’s intuitive to associate the absence of a dimension with a value close to 0 for it and vice versa, because that’s how we visualize it.

Yes, they are only abstractions, just like numbers are. I do not understand your conclusion that they therefore do not exist.

I still upvoted this, because I can see where you are coming from. It’s frustrating when adults portray thin flat objects as “2D objects” to explain dimensions to children. It’s not a simplification; it’s simply wrong.
