Character limits too. "Hi, I'm a nice guy who likes to go hiking, likes natures and I'm looking for someo-" is cut off because that's what all dating apps feel is more than enough for you to be looking for someone by. Facebook Dating is an example.
I was took my friends to see this for my 11th birthday (I had already seen it, thought it was the best thing ever) and all three of them fell asleep before the end. Today I have no friends.
Rising from my nightmares, i see that scene. Blinding, searing reality cuts through my consious thoughts; it had always been there; waiting for a spark. A fungal web of neuronal links itching to infect and consume. Unavoidable and inevitable.
And as i fall from blissful ignorance once more; a whisper “why?”
When people talk about cursed knowledge I never think of it like the brain can’t physically handle the amount of information I’ve always thought of it like the realities of the universe are so fucked that the brain can’t handle the truth
There’s indeed knowledge like that. Like there’s knowledge that, at the moment of understanding, overloads your brain. It’s like your entire model of reality has become invalid, and it can cause physical pain as your brain burns out trying to recalculate everything you know in this new paradigm. Sometimes you go through days in a fog as your brain recovers, sometimes it can still hurt every time you think of it months later. The implications of certain understandings just start the process over all over again
Here’s a particularly grounded and well supported example that’s not transmissible enough to be an info hazard - everything is waves. There’s no particles, just waves of energy that form stable patterns
That’s what happened to me when I got attacked while homeless. The guy had me on my back in the street and was just continuing to kick my neck and head. He wasn’t stopping.
I’d never seen this guy in my life.
It only stopped because some other strangers happened to see and pulled him off me.
I’ve been close to dying before but it didn’t invalidate my whole worldview. But this guy’s rage, the willingness to kill a random stranger just for the hell of it, changed me deeply.
Yeah. That and you cut so many important parts of meeting your partner. This is a easy shortcut for people with low social skills. Cutting important parts of meeting someone, and being already in the I like you let’s X, usually ends poorly. You see some successful stories here and there, but there sre millions dating through apps.

I definitely agree, but you can use dating apps with the goal of just meeting new people. Reorient a “first date” into a more casual hangout to get to know this new friend and potential partner. I treated dating almost like interviewing and looked for incompatibilities or irreconcilable differences within the first few conversations. Not saying it’s easy (and organic meetings are much better), but it can be done.
Source: went on several dates with people through Bumble and Hinge until I found my partner.
I’ve done this at Costco myself a number of times.
“Ah, I just need a bag of coffee and a thing of multivitamins. … Oh, we could use some smoked salmon. And, another bottle of Malbec. Maybe some frozen waffles… Ooh, they’re selling Amish-built sheds!”
And, then, I’m either manhandling half the store to the register, or I’m putting the stuff aside somewhere—looking a bit like one of those careless people who can’t be bothered to put stuff back—and making the walk of shame to get a cart.
there was that meme about adding everything to one playlist a few days back, that’s mel, lol, I don’t even know thr number of songs on the Playlist, it’s 112 hours long at the moment.
Anyone else wonder how some folks will say language sometimes changes related to people speaking lazily, but then you get words changing meaning/emerging with extra syllables like “irregardless” or “disorientated”?
When posts like this pop up, it makes me wonder 'bout those extra syllable words, “So how’s that happen, then?”
But no, seriousnessly, get a pinch of lazy, add a pinch of troll, throw in some euphemism, mix thoroughly for a while, and shit happens, like birds and bees.
Yea this happened to me at Costco when I forwent the cart and ended up deciding my dog needed a new bed. And then I decided I was to proud to grab one on the way out. I am such an idiot most of the time.
I only see people with depression complain about what other people say. But what are they supposed to say? If you want someone to say something that is helpful talk to a professional and dont complain when other people dont magically cure your depression with a few words
There’s plenty to say if you are actually interested and read up on it.
The point isn’t always to say “helpful” things like you think of them. They are more likely to be harmful. Depression can’t be solved by a sentence. Neither can it be solved by “talking to a professional”. It’s a long and arduous process. Also depression isn’t about being “sad” even. It’s a very misunderstood disorder.
