from what i read so far, i think you really believe that people can “like” someone with varying degrees. and i think it makes sense, for you to follow through with this belief.

maybe you can convince her with this mental framing so she doesn’t feel “disliked” and wouldn’t be too dejected at the thought.

i am no expert at your idea of liking and relationships, but i think it is a possible approach.

cheers!

thanks! yup, it’s that place.

not really as big as other suggestions here but walking through kamurocho has its charms.

another one i haven’t seen suggested yet is the walking simulator called death stranding. but this one needs to be a pleasant but mindful walk.

you now know those classic pots you enjoyed have permanent debuffs. with the new pots, nobody has found a debuff, yet.

income-based selling, here we go~!

movie stars can pay their share and do charity work in the process.

the wizard of ozempic has a nice ring to it.

enrico pucci from stone ocean.

ridic powers to walkback things. and he does not get flak from it. it is essentially fictional retcon.

puff

i remember listening to it as a kid. makes for a really good lullaby/ relaxing song.

when you’re not a kid anymore, you see the lyrics are somewhat a downer. that, or you got more real stuff to think and worry about.

maybe there’s more covers of this now, i dunno. lp version sounds real great though.

beautifully explained. imo, it is an i am/ we are the main character reframing of one’s actions.

earning a spot to this kool kids club immediately feeds your inner main character fantasies.

there’s nothing like a clean scrape feeling you get from a metal spoon! the bamboo ones are satisfying as well. just the right amount of firmness and bend.

the practicality part reminded me of the ring of gyges.

the thought experiment kinda goes like “if a rational, intelligent being (you) own a ring that lets you do whatever you want without anybody noticing and you will not suffer any negative consequences for it, would you use it strictly for the sake of good?”. this is somewhat famous/popular as it was supposedly taken as inspiration to the lord of the rings book.

i do this too. very good way to wind down and just rest the eyes.

anyone have an idea why it has to be an israel-based firm for this sort of contracts? as opposed to a locally owned business/ gov sector, i mean. it just doesn’t feel defensible enough imo.

a very stool-some post!

trumpy and his ugly tariffs again. meh, one trick phony.

i notice it after a meal or after running.

pretty spot on with the ‘competent hardware’ part. i’ve read some people automate those on their sleep just to offset the build times.

there’s single letter argument versions on emerge, i think. the long ones are for the learning experience.

if trumpy could count has concepts of numbers, he will think this is an insult.

i appreciate the BuyEU and BuyCanada movements.

also uniting both canada and eu in terms of defense is a good move, imo.

the amount of incompetency people didn’t think would exist, we now have a good example of~! maybe it is not incompetency, but retrograde thinking~.

the ability to lie and “falsely claim”.

imagine everybody is stricken with that boy’s wish from “liar liar”

sure there would be a bunch of hurt feelings, but maybe the better world can compensate?
