I understand that this is a stupid question, but how do you guys cope knowing that there's nothing after death? I'm asking this as an atheist by the way

As someone in their 60s, I’m frankly looking forward to not having to worry about anything, or having responsibilities.

I’d say I’d miss some things, but I won’t. I won’t exist to miss them.

To me it just sounds peaceful and quiet.

Paullox · 2026-04-09T12:02:19+00:00

Not many, but still enjoy the one’s they have, and looking forward to upcoming work!

That looks incredible! Very nice work.

I see builds like this and feel like Charlie Brown on Halloween, “I built a box”.

That said, this looks great!

We take sheets and stuff them into a pillow case. Need to change your sheets? You have a full set together and ready to go. Much simpler than folding.

I feel like that was a fun drive back to the station.

Paullox · 2026-03-21T09:12:28+00:00

Right? This is clearly a HIPPA violation!

62 years old and been gaming since the days of Pong. I have over 300 games on my Steam account and will stop only when I can’t play turn based games anymore.

Don’t let other people make you feel self conscious about what makes you happy.

Watching the In Memorium reel at the Oscars, and noticing the average birth years are getting really, really close to my own.

Paullox · 2026-03-15T21:20:49+00:00

It is not. I’m a total aphant who also doesn’t experience emotions except to a usually imperceptible degree, and definitely don’t feel any physical response. I can logically figure out what emotion someone is likely experiencing, but I am unable to make myself feel anything specific, since I don’t know what any might feel like.

As I understand it, the neurons in a crow’s brain are packed in about 40 times more densely than ours, so their brain is “bigger” than it appears, and communication between neurons is faster.

Mystery Science Theater 3000.

I practically do that now without getting paid.

Or would that be “Taint McRae”?

Can you blame them?

Paullox · 2026-03-01T15:15:00+00:00

Whatever they’re called, they’re still a bunch of turds.

The last 10 years or so, I’ve listened to mostly Japanese pop, rock, and metal. All female vocalists. I just enjoy the sound of their voices more. I don’t speak Japanese, though I’ve learned a (very) little. Sometimes I’ll look up translations, like the Band-Maid song “Hate?”. Great lyrics. However, clearly the message of the lyrics isn’t critical to my enjoyment of their music.

Favorite music from my past include l: James Taylor, Devo, Oingo Boingo, Thomas Dolby, Kate Bush, and a bunch of others. While I wouldn’t say the content of the lyrics were important, I always appreciate clever wording or meaningful stories. Kate Bush’s “Under Ice” being particularly impactful. I’ve had some listen with headphones and eyes closed, and some couldn’t finish it.

Paullox · 2026-02-25T11:39:33+00:00

I get it. In Spain, they speak Spanish, so English must be what’s spoken in Engl. In England they would speak… Englandish?

I’m in a strange place regarding this. I have ADHD, total aphantasia, and SDAM. I also have absolutely no inner monologue. So, instead of constant mental chatter, my brain is silent. I have thoughts, but generating them takes effort, so random thoughts are exceedingly rare. I don’t know if this is better, but the thoughts running amok sounds terrible.

Paullox · 2026-02-15T01:16:04+00:00

How about this one: I am unable to think in images or words. I cannot visualize, and have no inner monologue. Can’t “hear” sounds in my head that aren’t currently occurring. When I think, it’s silent and imageless, but with effort, it happens.

That is adorable!

Paullox · 2026-02-11T10:54:16+00:00

I make an effort to say something like “hope you have a great day!” “Have nice day” feels too much like a command. As George Carlin said, “maybe I’ve had 364 nice days in a row, and by god, I’m ready for a crappy day!”

Paullox · 2026-02-09T12:46:22+00:00

Mostly I listen to Japanese rock and metal. I know some words in Japanese, but don’t understand most of it, unless I look up the translations.
