We’ve been able to do this for years, way before the fill tool utilized AI. I don’t see why it should be slapped with a label that makes it sound like the whole image was generated by AI.

I feel like it’d probably be better to group based on performance. I don’t see why this wouldn’t work for pretty much all 1v1/FFA/small-team sports/games.

It’s like how there’s loads of different email providers but they can all still email each other.

Just like Gmail can send mail to Outlook and any other @EmailProvider.com, lemmy.world can populate it’s feed/comments from lemm.ee and any other @LemmyInstance.com

When I play online games I periodically write “T R A N S R I G H T S” in the chat because I know it bothers some people

I grew up in a Christian family/community where asking questions was met with hostility, and discovering his channel was a major source of catharsis for me. But hooo boy, did he become a raging, unapologetic asshole.

To his credit, it seems like he wanted to mark a new chapter on his channel with these 4 uploads, and I think he succeeded… He’s gotten a lot better in terms of being a tolerable person, but his stuff now just doesn’t match the sharp and witty commentary from his scripted days.

(edit): Same with Matt Dillahunty. He used to be so well spoken, skilled at respectfully pointing out fallacious reasoning, and was a pretty likable person. His old Atheist Experience shows were gold. Now he’s a raging asshole and has lost all of his grace, even though he may be right about what he’s saying. And with Tracy Harris gone, AXP has lost both their bottles of lightning.

How the mighty have fallen

As fun as it is to dunk on theists, this brand of Christianity is far from common, let alone representative of Christianity.

Rest in piss, Jack Chick, you miserable dirtbag.

I love this. I’ve never heard of or seen it before, but now I want to

I guess maybe I’d view your desire as those kids on Tiktok that were mimicking/cosplaying mental illness, autism, & Tourettes syndrome

I don’t use TikTok but when I was in grade school I’d see other kids do this, and yeah it’s pretty cringe worthy. I think we’re on the same page there.

And I definitely don’t want PTSD. Sorry if it came across that way. But I think I see what you’re saying, and maybe I’m overestimating my mental fortitude. I guess I figured I’d be able to adequately process it if I realized afterwards that none of it was real.

It really stems from curiosity about the facts. But when that curiosity turns to morbid curiosity, a lot of my questions can’t be answered, so it seems to me that the only way to satiate that curiosity is to artificially experience the event first hand through something akin to Rick and Morty’s Roy game. But obviously that’s impossible, so all I have is my imagination.

I do have ADHD lol. Most of the time I have these sorts of thoughts, it’s while daydreaming or spacing out

That’s why murder shows are so popular

That’s a good point. I suppose what I’m interested in is the same thing, just in a less mainstream format.

I’ve been thinking about getting a therapist for unrelated reasons, and I agree it’s probably a good idea to bring it up just in case.

Thanks for the honesty lol 😅

At first I thought this was a Linux meme

Barbaric behavior. Absolute heresy.

I, too, am a, very big, fan, of commas

It feels like exactly what it says on the tin, personally.

It just feels like my mind is foggy, so if I have to go off-script while I’m working or doing things at home or with friends, it takes a lot of energy to see through the “fog” and figure out what to do. But when things are going as planned (or “on-script”) I can just kinda navigate blindly.

Sometimes when I get sick I can sense that it might happen when I go to sleep. I think it’s mainly about being the right amount of tired, though.

The other key element is having enough brain activity to keep your eyes open or to reopen them while your body tries to start REM sleep. People say stress will do that, and that tracks with my experience.

Also, try sleeping on your back. I’ve never had it while sleeping in any other position. It could vary from person to person, so maybe try sleeping in different positions.

But if you know, isn’t it mostly annoying, like you want to move but can’t?

Not really. Not being able to move while you feel threatened is a very primal kind of fear, so it’s hard to rationalize your way out of it even after you realize what’s going on.

But knowing what the cause of it is does help a little bit. It doesn’t get rid of the intense fear, but there is a relief you feel knowing that there’s a way out (assuming you know your body well enough to know how to reliably wake yourself up).

I wish I had that at least once, to know how it is like.

It’s really fascinating in retrospect. The intense fear can be upsetting, but if you’re used to nightmares then you’ll be fine. I’ve always loved terrifying/surrealist art/media, so after I wake up it’s like my brain gave me a gift. (Here’s my favorite experience if you’re interested)

Also why do people open their eyes instead of keep trying to sleep?

For me, it’s poor mental health and a terrible sleep schedule lol. I can’t do it as often anymore because I have a job now, but I used to resist sleeping for some mental health reasons. So after I was too tired to want to be on my phone or anything, I’d end up staring at my ceiling thinking about whatever I was stressed out about at the time. I think that prolonged daydream-like state is what does it.
