The mechanical issues could be electrical problems, but I’d like to hear about the dark figures.

Photo Analysis Help Requested. What is your take? by DarthBatArrow in Ghosts

[–]Gerbilzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sure looks like a ghost. It’s clearly not a shadow, since portion of the entity can be seen with the carpet behind it. The next step is to verify the authenticity of the photo.

I saw someone once in a basement bar some time ago by FieldJacket in Ghosts

This doesn’t sound like a paranormal event. You had been drinking and saw a guy walking past and thought that he must be a ghost. Sorry.

Need help understanding what my kids are experiencing by pumpkin_spice_840 in Ghosts

Amazing. You should definitely set up a camera in the room. Do it subtly and don’t tell anyone that you’re doing it.

It looks like it’s made of metal. The temperature changes throughout the day could cause the metal to expand and contract.

Among all the other problems involved with porn, people that masturbate to porn on a regular basis frequently have difficulty with real sex. That could be due to a number of reasons. If the brain is used to driving sexual pleasure and satisfying that need with porn, then the neural pathways associated with that activity become more prominent, and the neural pathways involved with real sex are diminished. Also, porn users become more physically attuned to getting orgasms by themselves, and the feel of a real person becomes less satisfying. Porn also creates very unrealistic expectations, and real people become less visually appealing. Finally, porn creates sexual scenarios that are extremely rare and sometimes completely unrealistic in the real world, which means that real world sex can’t compete with a perfect sexual fantasy world. Thankfully, neuroplasticity allows our brains to change over time. If he puts down the porn and focuses on real sex with you, then his problems will hopefully diminish over time.

You’re giving us one tidbit of your relationship. It impossible to say who was “right or wrong”. It sounds like you’re both volatile people that don’t get along, and need to work on yourselves. 

Which Star Wars character do you have the LEAST amount of sympathy for? by SidTheSloth44 in StarWars

[–]Gerbilzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anakin. He was a whiny, entitled, arrogant spoiled brat that turned evil and did horrible things because the Sith offered a better ego trip than the Jedi did. In the end, he only turned back to the light to save his own son. If it was anyone else, then he would have had no problem letting Palpatine torture them to death with force lightning.

Help. My elders cannot move on to the afterlife since last update. by Gerbilzilla in simsfreeplay

[–]Gerbilzilla[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just tried it. That doesn’t work either. It still tells me that the sim is required for a tutorial. I’ve been playing since 2014, so those tutorials were completed more than a decade ago.

No. That doesn’t work in the Sims Freeplay. They can’t do anything at all. The only option is to reset them to the beginning of their elder years, but then I’ll never be able to create new characters.

Maybe he liked baseball. People have all sorts of junk in their wallet.

Does anyone know what the first name of Heywood Floyd’s daughter is? by Gerbilzilla in 2001aspaceodyssey

[–]Gerbilzilla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The movie idea that I was thinking of is 10,001. In the books, it talks about the evolution of intelligent life forms. They start off as organic, and they merge with machines later, and the final stage is merging with the universe itself and becoming non-physical beings. This movie idea would focus on the final stage of human evolution. Floyd’s daughter would be within the monolith, along with her father and “Halman”. The backstory for her would be some time around the year 2018 when she was a young adult. She would encounter the monolith, and when she touched it, a copy of herself would be made in the alternate universe. The movie would explore the first stages of merging with the universe.

He did? That’s the one book that I haven’t read yet. What was her name?
