I legit enjoy getting scared so much that the few times I’ve experienced sleep paralysis I’m like “oh boy! it’s happening!” —but apparently that is exactly how you end a sleep paralysis episode is to just know that it is one/knowing it’s one helps relax you back into sleep.
Really bums me out.
This having negative votes adds to the joke.
I thought it was funny. Absurdism humor is hard to do.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Control Resonant Is An Action Masterpiece For Total Sickos, Like MeEnglish
181·6 months agoSadly the older I get the less interested I am in reflex-heavy action titles.
I know Control had some welcome accessibility options including 100% aim assistance and 1 shot kills (that didn’t affect achievements!), but uhhh, at that point I’m just like what am I doing here?
I want a multiplayer game with roles for slow farts or non-sweaty people. Phasmophobia’s onto something with having someone sit in a van. Division almost had it with that tablet role they pulled before the game was released, where someone could just be on a tablet and buff/debuff people.
I’d love to see a 5 player spaceship game like No Man’s Sky where a ship can have someone just watching engines or shields and doing their station with no stress about much else.
…this comment digressed, but uhhh, all’s that to say this game looks good for people into it, but sadly not for me.
I remember hearing a dunk on vegans a while back that went “how do you know someone’s vegan? they’ll tell you.”
but in my experience it’s more like “how do you know someone hates vegans? they’ll tell you.”
I’m willing to forgive them, but take my forgiveness with the grain of salt that is my clown fetish.
Given my lack of self control with sugar and sodium, I’d probably OD on propofol if I had unchecked access to it. I can sleep for eight hours without any noisy neighbor or birds waking me up? What’s the catch?? Except the OD part of course.
Yeah I should’ve hyphenated cream-filled to maybe break up that consistent gap.
I would literally doodle these on a notepad, take a photo with my phone, jack up the contrast, then put the text in using my handwriting as a font; all in ~10 minutes with barely any QA. I’ve been meaning to remake/re-draw them, but I know myself and the more work I put into it the less I’d enjoy it.

My retirement plan likely involves explosives and a penthouse or penthouse-equivalent that may or may not be occupied by the richest, douchiest person I can successfully stalk.

It’s me. I’m the artist. I don’t sign my work.
I’ll put OC in title next time?
The problem for me is empathy is often the missing ingredient in my disagreements with others, and it’s harder or impossible to foster, teach, or cultivate that empathy via a remote text exchange.
It is easier to press the button that shocks the stranger when the stranger is in the other room.
…coupled with that I get enraged at injustice and bigotry enough that it likely affects my blood pressure, as well as my ability to articulate my political views in a respectful and/or cohesive manner.

Technology@lemmy.world•Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMsEnglish
101·6 months agoI think it was a Reddit scraper years ago that taught me that I should probably lie more often on the internet about my work, friends, family details, etc.
Just like, little lies that don’t really matter in the comment, but would misdirect an AI or investigator into things that aren’t true.
It’s just so much woooooork to think about this shit. And to come up with different screen names everywhere? And to like, sub to a city I don’t live in and comment there about shit I know nothing about? Exhausting.
Thankfully my brothers and three uncles are here to support me. And my alligator.

1171·6 months agosadly I’ll likely support them through any shitty decisions they make as they are the only viable non-chromium alternative these days.
I get they’re chasing the buck and trying to stay relevant, but uhhhh… if they could be less Steve Buscemi-teen about it, that’d be great.



As long as you didn’t bring that provoking pooch with you.
