I never met another person who like Eye of the Beholder, I really enjoy it. m.imdb.com/title/tt0120662/

pineapplelover, in So, who or what ruined Christmas this year?

I had a pretty good holiday, although, I found out that my little friend group at school are really conservative Christians and apparently they still support Trump.

LordTrychon, (edited ) in What's the consensus on swearing here

Cursing and not cursing will both get you pretty much no reaction here.

But… if you self censor curse words with f*** or s***… some lemmings lose their $#!+!

Pratai, (edited ) in So, who or what ruined Christmas this year?

Lost my best friend of 35+ years to an overdose back in July, then my 15 year old dog on Halloween. Then my mother got sick a week later and was in the ICU for over a month. Turned out to be a severe liver disease but she doesn’t qualify for a transplant, so she moved to Australia for better healthcare and to live her remaining days with other side of family….

Then my girlfriend lost her job.

So, we didn’t do Christmas this year. Not even a tree. Fuck it. Maybe next year.

Sharpiemarker, (edited ) in What word do you always forget?

The one that means:

When you find unexpected good fortune.

I always remember the word “providence” when I mean the other one, without the religious connotation. Like kismet.

It’s Serendipity btw.

morphballganon, in Have you ever seen a rudolph moment happen in real life?

I’ve had several. It’s a big part of my personality to take discouraging remarks as a sign that there’s an opportunity for improvement.

thrawn,

Would you care to share some? Can’t tell if this comment is a setup

morphballganon,

I don’t know what you mean by setup.

I was a boy scout, the motto of which is “be prepared.” So I just subconsciously ask myself “what could go wrong” and prepare for those hypotheticals.

I don’t really keep track of these things because it’s so frequent.

Mr_Dr_Oink,

Thanks for your contribution…

Please re read the question and ask yourself if you have anything to add to this thread before posting again.

You cant say, this happens to me, all the time, but i dont keep score so i cant give any one specific example. I remember that it happens all the time but i dont remember one single instance of it happening.

This makes you either a liar or a compulsive liar from anyone elses perspective.

I’ve known people like you, this one guy who could play piano until he told me, an actual pianist, then suddenly his piano was at his aunties who lived 3 hours away so he didnt play much anymore. His aunty, who in a different lie lived only 30 minutes away. The same guy could fly an 8 passenger plane. But in a separate lie he could fly a 12 passenger plane.

See how easy that was? I made a statement/claim that i knew people like you. Then i backed it up with a specific example instead of being vague and annoying, pretending i couldn’t remember any specific examples.

morphballganon,

What you are doing right now is called projection. You observe one aspect I have in common with someone else and declare I must be like them in other ways. Does that sound logically valid to you?

You suggested I reread the OP question. Here it is: “Have you ever seen a Rudolph moment happen in real life?”

Sounds like a yes or no question to me. My answer is yes, but you already knew that.

I never said I could play piano or fly a plane. But I can get people in a room to reveal whether they’re a Rudolph or a black-nosed reindeer. You’ve established you’d rather put someone down than entertain they might have special skills. Sorry bud, you’re not a Rudolph, and I don’t know if that’s something you can change.

otp,

I’m still waiting for your Rudolph moment here.

Tell us how you’ll guide the sleigh tonight!

Mr_Dr_Oink,

That’s not exactly the classical definition of projection. At least in psychology, it’s not.

Either way, what i did was not projection by your terms or the real definition. It was an accusation. One you have yet to disprove.

When you quote OPs question, you are leaving out a large amount of context, like the fact that they then shared an entire story of their own. Doing this creates an implication that everyone else here understood, which was to share your own story.

If by asking the question OP only required a yes or no, then this thread would just be a bunch of people saying yes and no… and that is clearly not what was intended. So please dont be so disingenuous.

I don’t remember saying that you claimed to be able to play piano or fly a plane. Im sure you know that, and i may be misunderstanding an attempt by you to put me down, which would be fairly ironic considering its at the point that you attempt to put me down you are accusing me of doing the same.

So i dont really care if you think im not “a rudolph.” All i really care about is that you still haven’t backed up your claim. Despite being so adamant that you have “special skills”. Just back up your claims or keep your yes/no out of this clear request for elaboration. Because its not helpful and it makes you look like a dick.

Sorry.

Oh wow look it’s that person who can’t elaborate on their stories.

Mr_Blott,

Me too. Why, this one time

RedditWanderer, in How would you feel/react if your home address was announced & published very publicly the same way celebrities experience?

Their aspiration/ income is directly tied to how popular they are. You can’t have both. They have enough money to hide if they please

Annoyed_Crabby, in How would you feel/react if your home address was announced & published very publicly the same way celebrities experience?

That’s why i like Daft punk, no one care about them until they put on the mask.

@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

Welcome to living in Sweden.

With a quick Google search you can find someone’s home address, income, social security number, birthdate, amount of owned vehicles, political work (if any), size of home, criminal record, and much more!

It fucking sucks for it all to be public information, but websites dedicated to collating it all under one roof is even worse.

angrymouse,

Dafuq, I always thought that personal data was serious business in Sweden, unpleasant surprise

So did you you guys at least dip a cold chocolate bar in it? Was it good lol?

ericbomb,

Haha don’t think we ever found out, I think they were all conscripted for the fountain. I hope he saved one for himself since it was his favorite snack!

It’s moments like that were the kid should have told the teacher to fuck herself, and go get the chocolate someplace else xd

    Yeah. That’s bs though. Being rich and worried about it while you can afford security and large amounts of property and several vehicles and exclusive clubs and restaurants etc is 100% different than having to deal with the same issues, but with $60k a year instead.

    Famous celebrity is a trade off. You’re giving everyone here only the option of taking on the bad portion, while having none of the good portion.

    Also remember, most celebrities CHOOSE their fame/lifestyle. They want rich Famous with those issues over $60k and no fame and fortune.

    LemmyKnowsBest,

    Your giving everyone here only the option of taking on the bad portion, while having none of the good portion.

    You’re examining this deeper than my original question. All I asked was: how would you feel if everyone in the world knew where your house is and where you sleep every night?

    ColeSloth,

    Slightly disturbed, I guess. It’s not very hard to find where a person lives if you want to, though.

    I like how you delete every comment you have that goes negative and even edit the text to be “#” so you can’t get called out for your bad takes.
