Another example of a dumb as shit person making sure that everyone knows that they “know physics” because they think that sounds so smart.

Think I’m good with those 4.

Throw in Math Blaster so I can pretend to value humanity or something.

I want to believe, I really do, but basically every “new version of thing I loved from childhood” has been profoundly disappointing.

My guess: [bad guy] comes back because [good guy] is actually bad guy now, in a complete reversal of their entire character growth arc, and [bad thing that we took care of in the last show] is back because [history erasing lazy writing so they can just tell the same story again].

Believe it or not, “there is a lot of controversy” isn’t actually the same as “I hold a strong belief”.

“Lot of people” think Trump is a fucking moron, must be true.

Yes, but… there is a lot of controversy over if Epstein actually committed suicide or not. Saying that he did over and over again, where in the past how someone died would not be brought up ad nauseam, seems more like a statement of political propaganda than anything else.

Like, normally you’d stop saying “x, who died by a heart attack” after a while too.

Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019…

This phrasing is so common and so nearly verbatim that it’s hard not to wonder if we’ve got some Minitrue action happening here.

Talking to you. Empathizing with your situation. Validating you and making you feel heard. Offering company and distraction.

Like… are you seriously asking, or are you just trolling? This is like human connection 101.

By being supportive. Emotional support is, in fact, support.

[–] natecox@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, this makes sense to me. I’ve made some shitty choices along the way too, maybe didn’t learn as much from it as I should have.

I guess this is just a matter of opinion, but are any of those things “support”? Like, “I need help moving a couch” isn’t really the same as “I am having an existential crisis and I need help” is it?

I guess I do bond during the couch moving, somewhat?

There’s a community for that. Something about leopards? 😏
