Where TF did my entire family go??

I feel like the most important thing to take away here is to not feel pushed to have a social life. One city I lived in I had one friend I really considered a friend and the rest were mostly in the background (though fun to hang out with time to time).

For me a social life is enough if I find a single person who is capable of listening and rolls with bouncing ideas off each other.

May or may not apply to OP but zero social life sounds like they’re an introvert.

It’s like an animal instinct of the family: ‘you can’t reproduce, then get out!’

Not only that but that the energy from the nutrients generated in a plant is solely used for cell growth and maintenance. Even remotely suggesting a self-warming and extremely kinetic mammal can get energy solely from the sun is nuts.

I understand your concern. I wouldn’t be criticising their spelling in the main body of the post, but at the very least they should be spell checking the title. An occasional typo is usually forgiving but if the Lemmy feed is showing a post with many spelling mistakes it’s not going to go down well.

Learning spelling and ensuring it is correct is part of learning a language.

If I was posting in a Chinese forum, I would be very careful to ensure the Chinese characters are correct. Differences in minor radicals can make all the difference, e.g. 慢 and 漫 are distinctively different words. It’s a different kind of spell checking.

Half your posts are specific questions to a specific game which could be answered by searching Google. Such posts do not promote open discussion.

And you might need to check your spelling a bit.

If you had a post like ‘I really love Red Dead Redemption 2 (note spelling is correct here) for (insert mission here)’, other Lemmy users might chime in with their own favourites.

So you need to curate your posts a bit. Maybe stick to commenting for the time being.

Be yourself, children will get past your facade and your inhibitions when you realise it.

I’ve sometimes behaved as if I don’t give a shit and they still trigger me in the right direction to make me goofy.

Building on their comment, perhaps the capacitor is building up energy and dissipates it every 20 seconds. Like beats in resonance when you hear a pulsing in the volume when a guitar plays a single note or chord.

And it’s easy to lose the routine and gets even harder to start again.

Excellent writeup. 👍

So it would actually be a nice reset button where only the rich would “suffer”

It would be nice but there’s always a way…

Feel like this is an indirect reference to Donnie Darko.

I love the word ‘kerfuffle’.

I think some of us admit to doing this as kids.

The long awaited invention of anti-gravity.

I played Grim Quest at 61MB. Not too large a game. I liked the atmosphere though, and the narrative made me think of horror elements for trpg.

I’m a professional drinker.

The King James Bible was cobbled together using late sources and I don’t think the Catholic church was throwing the ‘deeper esoteric sources’ to the general uneducated masses.

So the bible is essentially a guide for how the masses should behave and doesn’t have much capacity to give people revelations and insight into God.
