I have severe anxiety too. It is an unfortunate additional challenge, but it does not absolve us our part in society nor give us an excuse to treat others poorly.

You don’t call for a flag on the play when it’s your team causing the penalty

Lol, imagine thinking you’re allowed a momentary reprieve from advertising in this hellscape of a world we’ve built.

Frequently the point of comparing the two is to caution before they actually become comparable, though. I think it’s intentional hyperbole to make a stark point, not an insensitive reduction.

Dude just wants whatever has a dragon, wolf, or forest on it, he ain’t thinking deeper than that.

Bro’s penis must be almost an innie.

It’s not even real. It’s a fabricated story to push an agenda of a special interest group.

Edit: to clarify, the news story is real, the mom’s story isn’t. It’s just a fiction to push the agenda.

I’m so confused, I’m a Spotify user and there are multiple artists I’ve selected “don’t play this artist” on that Spotify blocks for me; it won’t even play those artists when I click playlists including them.

Personally, I think it’s extremely unlikely. That’s why I think Apatheism is the way:

The theist says there is a God with certainty, the atheist says there is no God with certainty, the agnostic says we cannot be certain the existence of God, and the apatheist says “guys why are we wasting our time stressing out about unknowables? Let’s go get a pizza.”

This suggests a cosmic reason or purpose, yet I find no evidence for that conclusion exists.

There just might simply not be a “why?”

Absolutely. But the harrowing part is realizing this applies to some folks we deem delusional in the context of our world too.

My friend, we cannot even prove that our entire life is real.

We know the human mind is capable of extreme delusion, we can observe this in mentally unwell patients who are convinced their delusions are reality.

So if we acknowledge the human mind is capable of delusion, delusion so strong to be certain in its veracity, then there is no way that we can confidentially conclude that anything and everything we know isn’t delusion.

So in short, there is no way to definitively prove the internet is real because we can’t even definitely prove that reality is real.

I could be laying in my crib right now having imagine this and every interacting leading up to it entirely, just waiting to wake up. Literally every single thing I think I know could actually fully and completely not exist. The only thing I can be certain of in all reality is that I exist because I am considering my reality: I think, therefore I am.

I tried to look into this, but I couldn’t figure out how any of it works.

Also my name is Violent J

If it helps, of the over 1050+ releases I’ve rated I’ve only ever given four albums a perfect 10/10 score. 84 9s, 239 8s, 345 7s, 253 6s, 91 5s, 41 4s, and 6 3s (don’t see much point is wasting my time on anything less enjoyable than that), so while I stand by my rating I think it’s worth noting that my 7s are probably comparable to a lot of people’s 8s.

I had a lot of fun listening to this when it released and ultimately I rated it 7/10 aka “very good.”

You know that for the vast majority of human history copyright didn’t exist, and yet people still created art and culture, right?

edit: If you’re gonna downvote, have the balls to explain how I’m wrong.

The actual audacity

Exactly why she’s not a leader. A leader understand that you don’t have time to lick you wounds when the enemy is at your door. She should be fighting harder now, not sulking.

No, I thought of them the prior day, it’s just a crazy coincidence you mention them the day after I rediscovered them. I’ll check out Floor though!
