When I was in 8th grade, I ended up separated from most of my elementary friends. I had one friend that I knew, and she had the same problem the previous year, and introduced me to some of her new friends. One was this boy who had a deformed arm. He opened my eyes to a whole new world of interests, musical tastes, style, anime, books (including one of my favorite authors to this day), and just generally made me look at life differently. We talked on the phone every night, to the point where my parents got me a second phone line because I was on the phone so much. He introduced me to his friends, one of which became my first boyfriend. And he was one of the first people I’d met that was as smart as me and I could have real conversations about the world with. He pretty much changed my outlook on life, and I would say the trajectory too. And he was my best friend.

The next part gets sad, though. I met him the first day of 8th grade. Fast forward to summer break, we’re about to go into high school, and I went on a vacation with my family. My mom gets a call a day before we go back, she is visibly distressed but says it’s nothing. When I get home, three of my friends and my grandma are waiting for us. My grandma breaks the news: my best friend died. He had a heart defect - his heart gave out. I knew him for a year, and I still think about him all the time. It’s surreal sometimes. I have like two photos of him. I don’t talk to anyone who knew him anymore. It was so long ago and I know I’ve forgotten so much about him, it’s hard to think about sometimes. But none of that takes away the changes he made in my life. Also, ironically, he brought me to Christianity, but I could never forgive god for taking him away.

The campaign told the Guardian it “does not respond to British propaganda outlets. We stopped doing that in 1776.”

I know the Guardian isn’t propaganda, but that was at least a noteworthy burn.

I thought “two of a kind” meant that they were the same. Like you and your friend are two of a kind, liking the same things, having similar personalities, etc.

TIL: Some cephalopods can fly… (midwest.social)

Some cephalopods are able to fly through the air for distances of up to 50 metres (160 ft). While cephalopods are not particularly aerodynamic, they achieve these impressive ranges by jet-propulsion; water continues to be expelled from the funnel while the organism is in the air. The animals spread their fins and tentacles to...

And imagine what it will be like when we are gone and the world is under water and they have access to our technology!

Hello and welcome. So tell me, what’s it like to exit the ocean and take flight?

Could it be our weakness to act that is encouraging more genocides?

Pretty sure that’s what republicans want - private schools for the rich, and whatever the poor can afford. And hey, if you’re schools too shitty, you could always start working at 14.

Holy shit, is this for real?! I always thought octopuses would come next.

But have you considered that’s what the “power-players” want you to think? Then, you won’t know to build rockets for yourselves and steal the resources!

but Trump will end democracy!

Pandantic,
@Pandantic@midwest.social avatar

I get what you’re saying, but I’m trying to parse what is actual “things that can / will happen under a Trump presidency” vs “what the democrats and liberal media want us to think can / will happen under a Trump presidency”. I’m likely voting Biden simply because I saw what a shitshow the Supreme Court became (and will be for quite some time) under a Trump presidency. But I also notice Biden did fuck all about it so part of me wonders if the democrats are doing nothing for the simple fact that they have a fearmongering device setting the up for the next election. I mean, honestly the state of politics in the US is just pathetic.

I was out in the garden when a dude waked by. One of us waved, I don’t remember which, and the other waved back, sort of neighborly one hand up for a second wave. By the time he crosses the bush, he has turned back to cross my (luckily fairly large) yard, walking towards me. I run inside, and lock the door and yell at my SO to come downstairs there was a scary man at the door. SO confronts the man while I hide. Dude makes up a story about how someone yelled at him from our balcony, and he thought it was his friend. SO says he doesn’t believe him, and he better not show his face around here again if he wants to make it home alive.

why wouldn’t we just skip the AI and go to the other source first?

Because they went ahead and fucked up search first to take care of that.

I would say that our assessment of your stability comes from you dumping a bunch of baggage on internet strangers in a double checks - yep mildly interesting comm post. Seems like you’ve gone though a lot of shit in your life, and idk maybe you’re not neurotypical, but you need to slow the confession time down. All I came in this post with was the “mildly interesting” fact that your kid refused your wii. I thought the DNA comment in the body of the post was a joke. Now I’m waist deep in a telanovela that I did not tune in to. Use some discretion, or tell the whole story but maybe not here.

And your posts continue to convince me that you’re unstable. I’m not sure if you know, but this is a light-hearted community and you’re up in here fighting people. It’s weird, and if you don’t believe me then check the downvotes. I’m not trying to be confrontational, I’m trying to clue you in to what’s going on.

I thought it was worth the praise - well thought out, well written, and something that never occurred to me before. Maybe this is the wrong comm or maybe others thought it wasn’t.

Yeah but what if we unleash an evil AI on the universe? Our mess spilling over and fucking up nature again.
