Why are you saying this like it's a bad thing? Maybe you should give the kids a chance to decide if they want to be a werewolf before allowing a chainsaw-wielding weirdo to be their godparent.

You wanna get crazier? Am I a million, billion, trillion copies of myself, each with its own timeline; or is there one me experiencing a million, billion, trillion timelines subjectively?

Am I like a leg on a temporal octopus or a tendril of a time slime mold? Is there an invisible puppet master which is aware of all the realities I'm experiencing? If a leg dies, does the central intelligence gain the memories of the leg? Will I experience immortality by merging with the main consciousness when I die? Is it possible for me to communicate with the main consciousness? If so, could I learn how to "swap timelines" with the other "me"s?

It's really not that hard, I don't get it. The only conclusion that I've been able to come to is that guys think being empathetic, polite and communicative will get them friend-zoned or something. That they have to be pushy about it or the gal will just be like, "you're such a sweet guy, I think you're a great friend". You know, friends talk, partners fuck, or something like that.

Does anyone actually say that? I swear I've heard it or something similar before...

...Anyway, no, idiot, you're getting friend-zoned because they're just not into you that way. Being aggressive just gets you shut down faster too because you come off as impatient or desperate, or that you're trying to do the song and dance because you have to, not because you want to. I don't wanna be around a guy like that. That can be very concerning because it can indicate that all you want is sex and you're just trying to find the right buttons to press on the "sex machine". I get it, sometimes you just wanna fuck; but I'm a ~~dragon~~ human being, not a sex machine.

But... If you want a reason why you shouldn't be concerned about being friend-zoned: personally I'm more likely to trust and view someone favorably if they're friends with someone I already know, or they're surrounded by people who have good things to say about them (especially if they're enbies and/or women). Doesn't mean everyone's like that, but if you have lady friends who enjoy just hanging out with you then that tells me that you're way more likely to respect me, treat me like a dra... *cough* human, and that I'm probably going to be safe around you. Those are good things. Those are things I need to feel before I can feel anything else. Again, I can't speak for everyone, but there's a glimpse into how my feelings seem to work, and why I don't think you really need to be scared of the "friend-zone".

Also, when it comes to wanting to "just fuck"; I'm waaaayy more open to that idea if we're already good friends and neither of us are dating someone. Not everyone is like that, I'm probably kinda unusual in that regard, but... yeah.

Not what I was thinking about, but that works I suppose lol.

Here's an interesting question: is this a universe where there is some metaphysical entity that doesn't allow any object that fulfills the role of a door to be opened, or is it a universe where random chance causes every door to become jammed or otherwise malfunction after being installed?

If we take Everett's Many Worlds Interpretation to its extreme, is there a universe where doors are useless because the stars align in such a way that doors just coincidentally jam for any number of reasons the moment they're installed?

Is there a universe where every coin flip ends up being tails? Is there a religion based around this observation? What if we exist in such a universe? What thing do we take for granted which would be considered a random occurrence in another universe?

Alternatively, you might be due for a huge payday in the form of an anti-discrimination suit.

People doing lots of drugs are probably trying to escape from something or otherwise self-medicate without realizing it (unless they're "psychonauts", and even then, they might still be running from something). I dunno about you, but eating candy makes me feel good (yanno, until it doesn't). Makes the pain go away.

Just something I've been thinking about after recently discovering the "trans people love weed" stereotype. As a trans person who loves weed, why? Well, it's less dangerous than heroin or alcohol but still numbs the existential pain of being trapped in a body that doesn't feel like it fits. I figure most people who consume drugs habitually probably do the same.

If I'm not mistaken, his policies are a big reason why Minnesota is one of the big LGBT travel destinations right now. I think he was the governor who signed legal weed into law and supported really strong trans and LGBT healthcare bills that do things like force health insurance to cover gender-affirming care.

I'm kinda in love with Walz right now. Hopefully he'll be my governor soon™. Fuck Greg Abbott. Just hope I manage to get out before Texas fascists go full nuts.

That's not how stick drift works. If that worked, then recalibrating the controller should work. Secondly, I guess you weren't the kinda kid who loved taking things apart and putting them back together again. Fixed stick drift on a joystick when I was a teenager by taking the joystick apart, cleaning the sensor and putting it back together again. Had no clue what I was doing and this was before youtube, yet I still managed to do it right.

The people trying to leave are the people that the majority of the US voted to sacrifice to the golden bull. Yanno, black people, LGBT people, immigrants, people with disabilities, and so forth.

But go ahead, sit on your high-horse and tell us that it's our fault that the majority of US voters want us dead, okay? Go ahead, how am I personally deserving of my impending fate?

Don't victim-blame, asshole.

Is this a burrito on a stick or something? I didn't know you could patent things like that.
