Lol! Yeesh. “Bless your heart” it is then, got it.

Their very first words describe their condition, why are you asking this like you’re pointing out some new or controversial information?

If you actually want to be kind and helpful, how does “hope you snap out of it and get help” achieve that whatsoever? So condescending and useless to OP, just signalling your own (shallow) compassion to other readers. Totally gross to be honest.

Eh, I understand what you’re saying even if others mostly seemed to just enjoy pointing out things you already pointed out about yourself (but done dismissively and unkindly in their case).

I think you’re saying that you believe the universe responds to our deepest intentions, creating a path for us that is shaped in some way by our intent.

And that you found a way for yourself to take the same exact stimuli (outside world + internal thoughts), and use them beneficially by viewing them through the lens of a universe directing you in fruitful and positive ways, instead of how those things once felt like they were pushing you in more destructive or unpleasant ways.

And then finding observations that your approach truly is better, and is working for you, and wanting to share those.

Doesn’t sound crazy to me. Spiritually vivid and presenting a lot of unverifiable ideas as self-evident facts, sure, which is part of what’s setting folks off, but I mean. None of us actually know what any of this is or how it works, your POV doesn’t strike me as crazy or ridiculous.

I am not a very spiritual person, preferring concrete evidence and fundamentally doubting claims that can’t be empirically verified. But with that said, we obviously don’t know everything. Electromagnetism was the stuff of ghosts and demons until we learned (quite recently) to measure and understand it. No reason I can find to assume we’ve hit the end of those big discoveries, certainly not with gaping holes in our understanding of physics.

Glad your approach and view on the world seems to be granting you peace.

Edit: I imagine you’ll want to correct my phrasing of your thinking, that’s fine of course. Was mostly trying to simplify for other readers, apologies if it doesn’t represent you as well as I thought.

Well. A corgi-sized bucket, anyway. Not one of the bigger ones, great dane or so.

Bucko, they make up things their “opposition” says, to then call that a lie. C’mon.

Keep your principles, they’re fuckin important, but know your enemy, sheesh.

Ahhh, I’ll always feel nostalgia for 80s-90s era sci-fi optimism.

Flying cars and teledildonics, how hard can they really be, and clearly everyone wants these!

Horny teenage joke was just for surprise lolz I think, not a comment about KDE-involved names being horny (I think, every time I say something like this in any domain I end up learning about things I wish I hadn’t lol)

Feel like elaborating?

Group in power has ratcheted up political violence in multiple staggering ways, deliberately, they use it constantly to brutalize people.

What are you even talking about? There is no peaceful baseline that exists to be maintained. They have broken the social contract entirely. Where have you been?

Holy fuck, what a ride.

Wondering where he got that.

Left me deceased as well.

I’ve gotten to experience some bargain basement mortuary services myself - and sidenote, I swear, people say Americans have no sense of culture?! Please!

We got to enjoy a mortuarily-approved ($$$) small plastic bin for the remains in question in our case, as well as a quiet little moment of our own on the wee spot on the (public access 😅) coast she favored. Anyway, with ours ending up more Lebowski than Tucker and Dale lol.

We weren’t asked to help carry, at least. Yeesh homie.

[Edit to add - glad pops woulda found it just right, frankly, in my experience, the universe sometimes does work out in strangely lovely and hilarious ways like that, your story is rad]

DoorDash getting in the mortuary services game huh?! Those rascally innovators, wonder what they’ll innovate next!

All jokes aside, I should add, that fucking sucks, and is real gross, and I’m sorry you had to pay through the nose for the privilege of experiencing such a tasteless money-grab. Yuck.

Waiting to see if they’ve got any more fun contributions in the thread before doing exactly that lmao

This take sounds like the kinda guy who introduces “hot dogs are a sandwich” to a group, everyone enjoys the laughs and mock debate for a minute, then gets weirded out when the dude appears to really mean it and wants to defend the idea seriously 😂

You fucking suuuuuck dude, get better ideas

Adding to the chorus - you’re a real piece of shit for taking an artist’s work, REMOVING something the artist finds important, and then pretending like you’ve got some moral high ground here.

Go fuck yourself!

Big difference between a comic and a meme, you should go fuck yourself.

I came across this song via the opening theme for a deranged and fun little cartoon called “The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack” (or similar, can’t be arsed to go look).

I shit myself when I somehow stumbled onto the much older source one day, having heard it in cartoon form a good hundred times or so prior.

To certain kinds of kid (😅) it’s an unignorable urge, have to eventually find out, maybe more than once. Satisfying “ka-thunk”, brief pause, “k-thwit”, sudden weird dangerous magic.

Curiosity is one hell of a drug, lol. Available to all from the jump, so to speak, some folks can’t resist knuckleheadery.

Eh, you’re just…fermenting. Makes most stuff better.

I’d argue fame and ego both involve and invite mental illness, sincerely, and maybe that’s the simple crux here.

I swear it seems maintainers of FOSS seem somehow more susceptible than average to AI psychosis. Like not per-individual, but as a group. Could be my imagination and the nature of FOSS just makes it more evident, looking like it appears more. Either way, weird stuff…
