We’ve had issues with ours. Spent like two months working with them trying to get ours set up to work on our wifi. They ended up sending us a new unit, and it’s worked great since. But we mostly just get sparrows.
My wife changes the roll, but she always puts the new one on backwards. EVERY TIME. I don’t know how many times I’ve told her “it hangs in the front.” She doesn’t care. It’s infuriating.
I grew up in a house with cats that like to unroll the TP. Even though the current batch don’t, it’s just ingrained in me now to hang the TP opposite so they can’t play.
Sorry, you’re a barbarian. Maybe try chewing some willow bark and, oh, I don’t know… how about nettle tea? I’m sure that will do something or other. By the way, have you considered a good bloodletting?
I’m sure this was the story line to “The Demon Within” or whatever it was called on Netflix. Kids thought they were possessed by the devil and one of them murdered somebody, but it turned out Mum was drugging them all with sleeping aids in their dinner every night and the cumulative effects were possession by the Devil
The whole family was adamant it was possession, then at the end one brother casually revealed his mum was drugging them throughout their childhood for a bit of peace and quiet, and that he had looked into the affects and it was hallucinations and shit. Other kids denied it all
I'm so tired of people thinking that nihilism (Nietzsche's main philosophy for those unaware) is depressing. It's not at all, it's actually very hopeful and liberating. Nihilism can basically be boiled down to "nothing matters" which sounds depressing, but what it really means is that "nobody can tell you what matters from your perspective, only you can decide what matters to you". It was considered depressing and was railed against by the public at the time because it goes against religious teaching which tells you that religion matters objectively and unquestioningly.
It's extremely liberating even today despite religion not having a choke hold on society as much as it did during Nietsche's time. It's liberating because if what truly matters to you is shitposting on Lemmy, then that's great! Go live your most meaningful existence! Enjoy yourself and be proud of your accomplishments in that field! You choose your own worldview and what matters to you, and that's obviously a very a positive thing, it's not depressing or morose or narrow-minded and I'm tired of people just boiling it down to "Nihilism is for depressed people".
I don’t know if this is a joke or not but Nietzsche’s whole effort was spent on defining and opposing nihilism, not creating and advocating for it.
He realised that God (the philosophical entity which guarantees meaning) is dead and knew that God was a tool used to combat nihilism. He was afraid that at the time nihilism was seen as the only alternative to belief in God. He spent his whole life trying to establish the virtues that were required (the ubermensch) in order to lead a meaningful life when there is no guarantee that the world itself had a meaning.
The death of God may lead beyond bare perspectivism to outright nihilism, the belief that nothing has any inherent importance and that life lacks purpose. While Nietzsche rejected the traditional Christian morality and theology, he also rejected the nihilism which many thought was the only alternative to it.
Tangentially related- My name is the same as that of a 1970s song title and chorus and I worked in a place where a co-worker spoke that line to me every time he saw me every single day. I wanted to kill him by the time I left. I also hate that song. And no, I won’t tell you what song.
I feel you. I was in junior high when the matrix came out. My last name is Anderson. I fucking hated that shit. Misteeer Anderson… Inevitably they would wait for me to say My name is neo but they didn’t get it.
