It means “it’s got me feeling”. Usually you can pick up what “kinda way” they’re feeling from the convo.

I’d already be considering the usage of hands after the second text if this happened to me, lol. But I assume it’s fake, at least I want to believe so.

Il me manque juste le portugais… mais j’écoute beaucoup de bossa alors j’y suis presque! 😅

That’s fantastic, and perhaps you don’t need to but it can certainly help. And I’m sorry for your repeated losses in the span of a decade, truly.

Mmm… Maybe? What is ego being defined as here? 😅

Maybe there’s more to us than the vessels. Why is there something instead of nothing anyway? Hehe.

And that’s pretty cool, the whole talking to gravestones thing. Maybe they’re not listening but it definitely helps you think, and thinking about death keeps you both grounded and gives you a better perspective on things at least (time is running out for you and everyone you love, try to make it count and get in the f’ing robot, Shinji!). I’m sure that, whether living or ‘dead’, any good parent would want their kid to think clearly and appreciate life. 😊

So, evidently and before anything, this only truly affects those who have good enough relationships with their parents to grieve their loss. Some were mistreated and didn’t create strong enough links, that eventually practically vanished altogether and so didn’t suffer the passing of their parents as much/at all. I guess a silver lining of childhood trauma and distance is that at least you won’t miss one/both parents.

I read somewhere that grief is the truest expression of love and, yeah, sure. How will I deal with my dear mom’s passing, even as a quite emotionally independent guy who advises his mom more than the other way around? How can any? You just live, and remember that your mom would’ve much rather you did something good with your life than drown in tears and despair, and you keep going. You talk about it with close ones when you’re feeling sad (my mom for instance will tear up talking about her parents). Finally, and this is gonna be a tad unsavoury for the Westerner lemmy majority: you believe in God, that this whole thing wasn’t all for nothing and that God will take good care of his (mostly observational experiment?) subjects, and so you’ll meet again cause who mourns a troublemaker that even God in all His mercy rejected? And that keeps you going for yet another day. Who knows, maybe it’s true? 🤷😅 I believe so, lol, and certainly am on Voltaire’s side of the “religion question”.

Sisqo’s “Thong Song” is more or less two decades old so I guess you’re old!

I assume it’s not as appealing to propagandists because accounts cannot accumulate “people love my takes so believe in what I’m saying” points. But I really don’t know much about the fediverse/Lemmy…

Rocky ended at Rocky. Even Rocky 2, the second best movie if you’re judging its qualities with the same ruler Rocky’s measured, feels off compared to the original. Rocky is a love story/character study with a little bit of boxing at the beginning and at the end, whilst the rest are boxing movies primarily/solely.

Also, while everyone knows Terminator ended with T2, did you know Kung Fu Panda also ended with KFP2? 🙏

Well, I’m jealous of you too, then! 😅

And I like the rain. 😁

Wittgenstein moment !

But yeah, it’s always important to make sure you’re not just saying words, you’re not just drawing the map of a non-existent terrain. Many people do this without knowing (what the hell does “MAGA” truly mean? How can a corporation also “be a person”? Even a pink elephant makes more sense and is more conceivable.) It’s also important to remember that many things cannot be easily/fully understood solely through words, but can only be met through experience and understood through reflection in the framework of words. This is why you can’t just “tell someone something” and expect them to “listen”. The words went through, sure, but they lack the rest to be on your side of the debate.

Just let society decay without doing and saying anything. “We don’t judge”, “everyone’s free to do whatever they want!”, right? That’s the Western way.

IIRC it starts at 4 so you definitely make the cut. I’m jelly! 🤷😅

Mmm.

• Drank a sip of sewer water as a dare as a kid, contracted some form of stomach issue and ended up having uncontrollable diarrhea for about 3 days. This required a hospital stay and diapers…
• Drank milk straight out of the udder (have a pic to prove it too). I don’t find it that disgusting per se but I guess I had to mention it still.
• Didn’t shower for two weeks of arduous physical work because I was in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere with no running water nor hot water. You just had to bathe in the river basically.

I think calling it “survival reflexes” alters the truth of the matter. After all, other people live without being paranoid/aggressive/excessively fearful just fine. Better, actually. And this is coming from someone that used to consider some of my more unsavoury behaviour as “survival reflexes”…

Why don’t you just at least tell us what it’s about in the comment section here? We can’t judge like this.

I mean, it’s not like we know who you are IRL, what exactly is the problem? Also, why can’t it comfortably be a permanent digital footprint? Have you been posting things that reasonable people would side eye you for?

You’re a map person, not a terrain person, huh?
