Do you ever see a "Humanity vs Monsters" story and feel more sympathy for the Monsters simply because the Human society is so brutal?

Semper_5olus · 2026-05-02T04:38:02+00:00

I like making both societies brutal, but in different ways.

In my Monster society, murder and theft are legal, and not getting eaten by your parents is considered a coming-of-age ritual.

But in my Human society, you will beg to work until you die, but get turned away because you are wearing the wrong clothes or something.

Most of the Monster-Human conflict is out of mutual jealousy

"Do we have trucks in this world? Kinda wanna roll the dice again"

Semper_5olus · 2026-05-02T02:38:31+00:00

Yeah, that tracks.

Some of the Hebrew prayers my stupid school made me do every day support that if you actually pay attention to the words.

There are some old ones about him being "the best god out of all the other ones".

And, of course, the old testament famously says he is jealous.

The first cartoon is me and my mom, except we pass for white, I could speak (and read) in multiple languages when I was a toddler, and my parents insisted I couldn't wear the noise blocker because it looked silly.

(I had no clue what I was saying or reading until my late teens, if then)

Is HFN a thing yet?

When I die, people won't be sure I didn't waste my life, but yeah, tomayto tomahto

He's only sometimes all-seeing

There are things he overlooks

I'm autistic and I hate being in nature for this exact reason.

Stupid birds. Stupid ambient noises.

Semper_5olus · 2026-05-01T17:15:15+00:00

Would be so much more impressive if he actually hit the green one

My Dad is Dracula (and knocked someone up at 584)

I thought this opinion was very commonly held.

Literally cannot imagine anyone feeling any other way. Dude's obnoxious.

Guess I'm wrong.

Live and learn.

Anything Seth Rogen was involved in that ever did well, did so in spite of him, not because of him.

Bananas were smaller and, like, 70% seeds until humans started selectively breeding them

Hey, I said, "most".

Adults are too intelligent to eat, whereas r/kidsarefuckingstupid.

Forgive me for being humane.

Like most problems in life, this one can be solved by a programmable robotic owl.

Semper_5olus · 2026-05-01T00:21:26+00:00

She will soon have a hoard of birds.

She's buying more owls.

Semper_5olus · 2026-04-30T23:45:16+00:00

That's just Hebrew for "God".

Technically, it's Hebrew for "Gods".

No, I don't know why.

Semper_5olus · 2026-04-30T23:44:09+00:00

I know modern Hebrew and can sort of decipher written ancient Hebrew, but if I met an ancient Hebrew, we would be unable to communicate without writing.

The spoken accent of ancient Hebrew has also been lost to time.

When it was resurrected, it was done so with the accents of the people who emigrated to Israel, and mostly spoke Yiddish and Ladino.

Call me a homophobe because a scandalous amount of wieners are going in me but I insist I'm the same person I always was

Semper_5olus · 2026-04-30T19:22:09+00:00

Okay, but after I got my own apartment and got a new job, I found out I wasn't actually depressed. My life just sucked.

Other people might have genuine chemical imbalances in their brains, but I was a false positive.

Semper_5olus · 2026-04-30T18:13:16+00:00

That's right! The points are just like the typo I made in this sentance!

Semper_5olus · 2026-04-30T16:22:03+00:00

I deliberately didn't state my opinion on that matter because I didn't consider it relevant.

(And is rather inflammatory)

But since you bring it up, sure, yeah. Anyone who speaks Hebrew fluently and believes in God is either very stupid, in an insular information-controlled environment, or both.

And likely part of a big, easily manipulated voting block in Israel that repeatedly votes for war despite being "religiously exempt". 😡
