  • Nobody is answering the prompt lol. Everyone says all of this shit all the time.

    You live long enough to never feel at home. Sure the loneliness sucks or whatever, but who do you root for at the football game?

    Having to buy new shoes for the rest of eternity. You know how much work I’ve literally just put into finding shoes that 1) don’t suck and 2) aren’t made with slave labor? It’s impossible. Drives me insane. I’d found my own shoe company once I become immortal rich just to fix that problem alone. Maybe other stuff too we’ll get there

    I suppose on that note: it seems like a really bad idea to become a public figure after a while. Like you obviously don’t want your immortality found out. You have to have like illuminati power before that point though, but it could happen at any time. Like if something happens and you become a news item (i.e. helping someone out and a video goes viral online). Not saying everyone is all that close to going viral, but over a sufficiently long lifespan you’re effectively rolling that dice a lot.








  • No shade to OP. Something like this isn’t likey to trip BS alarms unless youre already aware of how big this should be. and it’s the kinda thing that isn’t sexy enough to grab public attention, which lends some credence.

    like, I read a headline like, “FUSION MAKES POWER NOW, FUSION POWER PLANTS EXPECTED NEXT YEAR” and I know it’s BS. But part of that is the way it promises to affect your life, and it does do in terms of Fusion, which enough people would recognize so as to make their eyeballs valuable.

    This article has neither of those really. So yeah. No shade.

    (Edit: guess the words “magical equation” is a pretty quick tip off too lol)

    the internet is just… Such a shitty venue for these conversations. I have friends in the real world who disagree with me. If someone is being nasty online I feel no compunction to spend the brainpower on them. Especially as I continue to struggle with the deluge of bad news and it’s affect on my mental health.

    Block away, for your own health and well-being.



  • Out in NYC, the bodegas all have a little plaquard saying that either 1: listed prices include a 2% credit card fee and you can save by using cash, or 2: listed prices may not match your final charge because they add a 2% fee on top for credit cards.

    Which is the same thing effectively but it can be sometimes confusing if you’re trying to watch for the fee.

    Anecdotally, I have sometimes noticed the cashier will say a price, and then say a slightly different price when I pull out the card. So it’s not like they always apply the fee regardless. At least some of the time anyway.

    Not universal of course. I don’t remember if that’s also true for grocery stores, and it’s probably not the case for big chains but honestly I don’t know.



  • Aphantasia is neat. I have to wonder how it affects the way we see the world. I’m 1. It doesn’t really take concentration, which I see on here? it’s not any harder than just a simple internal monologue anyways. But that’s always in motion whether I want it or not so 🤷

    That’s including lights and reflections, but like that’s constructed by me, and so I might imagine a light reflection incorrectly. again just like I might have a definition incorrect for internal monologue.

    Anyways, sure. Imagining is part of it. Like placing yourself in the situation in front of you. I don’t need adult videos to do so though. But like, having full HD imagination doesn’t replace videos of any kind, or else I wouldn’t watch YouTube either ya knoe


  • What do you recommend? Genuine question. I tried hosting my own email and eventually its just… It’s too much. Like everything rejects you out of hand because your email servers aren’t known. I could do more research and maybe figure that hurdle out but there does end up being an upper bar of effort.

    I tried proton mail, but it’s not great. How is Yahoo or other large email providers?
