I do it a lot to find new interesting content and communities. I just block all communities that I don’t want to see in my feed. It’s not too much TBH. Maybe one new community per month or so.

There’s also !buyitforlife@slrpnk.net.

I think i’ll just stop existing at some point. Maybe there’ll be some pseudo visual sensations (‘light’) as I die but other than that I don’t expect any kind of ‘after life’.

Half of the time I look forward to my death, it doesn’t scare me since I don’t see the real point of my life

I think we shouldn’t be scared of death but still try to enjoy our limited lifetime as much as we can. If you feel depressed continously, I can only advise you to seek help. Life shouldn’t be like that. If you have friends or family that you trust, tell them how you feel. In case you don’t, that’s okay. You may reach out to professional organisations or helplines instead. :)

Wealth is unfortunately not evenly distributed within society and there are plenty of different reasons for that. Maybe the step dad already had rich parents, maybe he was lucky to be at the right place at the right time, maybe he’s a better business man than you, maybe he just won the lottery. If you don’t know, you can’t tell her.

Make sure to let her know that having less money doesn’t make one less valuable as a human. That you hope, she’ll have enough wealth one day but in case she won’t that it’s not her fault. It’s not about being stupid or lazy. And that money isn’t everything that counts.

I learned that term on Lemmy and other social media platforms, never really questioned it.

I now quickly scrolled through that Wikipedia article and the most recent date reference given there is 1995 with the majority of events being in 196x or earlier. No recent event is linked there to the Zionist movement.

You’re right, but remember that gates are bidirectional. Maybe in the future there’ll be a point where his brother reconsiders his political views but if he’s only surrounded by similar-minded folks, it’s way harder to break out of that social circle.

The other 10 are just infants obviously.

Or save your money and get absolutely loaded on blackjack and hookers back home.

Not exactly what I’d call a healthy coping mechanism in face of emotional stress.

I agree. Don’t think about it like going to the wedding or not. Decide if you want to cut ties with your brother and possibly other parts of your family. Maybe also people that don’t share his political opinions but still side with him in terms of the wedding. Chances are high that not going will permanently damage your relationship to your brother and possibly other family members that side with him. If you value your ideals higher than your family, that’s perfectly okay. But from perspective you aren’t forced to do that.

I’m sure if he kept having it he’d grow to like it

The tofu or the farts?

Aren’t bees dying after a single sting?

Good point, if you’re 100% subjectively lucky, not only you would have that ‘live-forever DNA’ but also everyone else that you’d wish for, i.e. all your loved ones. And if you were looking for a new friend or partner, you’d always find a perfect match immediately.

I guess such an ability might have severe negative consequences for the part of the universe you dislike or don’t care about. But from a purely egocentric point of view, I can’t see any drawbacks at the moment.

If you don’t specify a currency or a grade of inflation, this might kill far more people than expected.

1 billion Iranian Rial for instance is just about 23752 USD.

How is that different from ‘being able to fly’ or ‘being able to turn invisible’? My understanding of OP’s twist is that you don’t have full control over your ability but that the skill is permanently active.

We could also run some heat pipes through the body to improve conductivity, stretch the skin to increase the surface etc.

If the person doesn’t need to be alive to stay at a comfortable temperature we could even grind the body into a powder of tiny heat emitting particles. Then add a very fast flowing liquid with a good conductivity and our super hero heating system is good to go.

But enough psychopath talk now. I personally don’t want to turn anyone into a heating system, but I’m sure capitalism will find a way to exploit this special property. :D

Good point. If you fly feet forward towards the ground with an acceleration of 9,81 m/s2 it should feel pretty much like normal standing with gravity.

If humanity finds out about that property of you, you might end up as some kind of human battery. If you can’t be cooled down under any circumstances, one could use your body to heat up infinite amounts of water/air with heat pumps and use you to heat entire cities. Super useful for the rest of humanity but not exactly the life I’d like to live. :D

I guess in combination with the ‘can’t stop it’ twist that would mean that you can’t stop talking in these old and random languages. So people will think you’re crazy and you’ll end up in some kind of mental illness hospital.

Please try to find a different way to vent. I can see how that may feel satisfying, but driving any kind of vehicle when stressed or in an emotional situation can be highly dangerous - for you and everyone else involved.

If hormone levels are high we’re unfortunately not always able to assess risks and our abilities correctly and won’t be as focused as required.

Why?

Did you click on the link? I guess OP is ashamed because no such article exists yet. 😉
