I really don’t mind the vast majority. Unless it’s really dumb, hateful or repetitive, I’m good. It’s just one more thing to scroll past, if I’m not interested. Though I do notice people with cool input running for the hills when the questions aren’t ‘exquisite’ enough and places can turn dull.
Walnuts, figs, honey, mozzarella, blue cheese, rucola and parmesan
The dumbest game I’ve ever played. Escaped into it as a kid on release and got addicted. Sure the initial journey to 60 was pretty magical. It was my first mmo, and I had played WC3 a lot before.
But my god, the dunning krueger effect, the toxicity, the community. Just terrible imo. And of course the utter unfulfilling time sink.
I’ve also been quite a competitive gamer, having played a lot of cs, dota and wc3 ladder, some semi-professionally. And WoW is simply not it.
I learned how evil Blizzard is, how addicted I can get to certain games, etc. yeah, the one word that comes to mind looking back at it is “stupid”.

Aside from all the things that are instant turn-offs…
Being hopeful.
Also seem to get drawn to BPD
Sounds very psychosis inducing.
The ability to create black holes. Just wanna fuck around and find out.
Hmm, reminds of this part of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory
I think this is an excellent question. People often forget about threats to families/friends, and only consider their own lives.
It’s of course very context-dependent and I’m sure different people have different beliefs. For example, if your friends and families are ardently against the government and would be willing to risk a lot, and you are having an impact, you might just ignore the threats.
And in a way I think if more people think like that, it’s best, as that makes blackmail to friends/family worthless.
In most other scenarios, I would give them one chance. After all there is other good that can be done in this world. However, if they show that they can’t be trusted. I’d consider that I have nothing left to lose, and go hard.
If it’s gripping, and I don’t get distracted by something else more gripping, I’ll burn myself out binging everything. ADHD and OCD might play a role.
You all are forgetting that cats live on this planet too!
I mean, kinda hard to say without context. Are these aliens even compassionate? How smart are they and what’s the reason for blowing it up? etc.
If I can’t argue how fucking stupid it is to destroy the entire planet, I might become a fervent earth-destroying zealot and undermine their efforts through my utter incompetence.
The way I see it, no matter how bad things are, it won’t distract me from the fact that every good thing matters. If not for me, if not for other people, then people who will come after. I’m only one person, but at least trying to do my part and being grateful for the things I have and receive, be it friends, a bed, food, a roof, a fun moment. And I can still accept the terrible state of so many things also.
Or in the words of David Graeber: “The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.”
Cairokee - Dinosaur
This is the censored version (for political reasons) but it has the beautiful music video.

Apparently Pterodactyls aren’t Dinosaurs :(
Also, I think this belongs here: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/oct/23/dinosaurs-asteroid-struck-research
Oh my god, his work is beautiful. Also, your consideration is sweet, and reasonable :)
The colours and a lot of aspects fit, but I find the expression of the face, with the hands pressed against the head goes in a completely different direction with what looks like panic or despair.
That sounds really spot on! I’m feeling cozy thinking about it :)
Sorry, hard disagree.
I also don’t want to argue. So feel free to say what you like about this, but I won’t respond. I’ll just drop some thoughts for consideration.
Jehovas Witnesses, Moonies, Scientology and so many more are still ongoing. Cult mechanism are literally some of closest stuff to brainwashing there is. They are malign. The followers are victims, and collectively this absolutely should be addressed.
Also, I am not offering any kind of solution here, I.e. to just go after the cults and disband them. As others have said it’s nuanced.
