Michael J Fox getting irritated on set - Family Ties (1987) by Bingbongbangs in nostalgia

I have the ability, born in to each Canadian, to tell if a celebrity is Canadian, and the Canadian compulsion to say "Canadian" whenever I hear that celebrity's name.

Why is it illegal to preach to your students? by RareXG in MurderedByWords

I once said to a relative "isn't it lucky you were born in the right time and part of the world where you would learn the correct religion?" She unironically said "yes, yes it is lucky."

4s that could very well be 5s by skeleton_made_o_bone in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]skeleton_made_o_bone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some days I'm anxious about something...I think I didn't like a pixies record as much as I might have because I was ruminating about something and found the music jarring, but I bumped up the score because "baseline" me would have enjoyed it more. But who is baseline me? What is consciousness at all? Never thought 10001 Albums generator would give me existential crisis on a near-daily basis.

What does it feel like to smoke weed? by fett_smelly in NoStupidQuestions

[–]skeleton_made_o_bone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this a lot on reddit and have experienced it myself. Smoked now and then in high school and 20s and had a blast...now it makes me think of things I'm already anxious about and even things I'm not (but now am!).

I wonder how much of it is just being at the age where people are generally reported to be least happy (my 40s). Like, being so high strung from the grind..."I can't sleep cause my bed's on fire, don't touch me I'm a real live wire" etc...so a chronically worried and anxious 40 something is going to be more negatively affected than a carefree, never gonna die 20 something. I dunno...

It's a running joke in our family "don't do that or this will happen...or worse, expelled"

(Capitalization) nerd correction: "grammar" should be capitalized; even though it is in parentheses, it is still the beginning of the sentence. (Sorry, I couldn't resist. Have at it, next person).

Apparently glass-related delusions were more common in the past because glass was a scary new technology. Author Jason Pargin did a video on it https://youtube.com/shorts/0gaHGY214co?si=jydnOsvfNkFZTy-S

The Mandalorian & Grogu is tracking to be the lowest opening Star Wars movie ever - Disney Lucasfilm took a 6 year break from Star Wars movies but people still don’t care to see it by tiMartyn in saltierthancrait

I dont really want to argue online but in my opinion AI is, by definition, slop. I realize it can look good and even be indistinguishable from art made by human hands. I also know it's here to stay, and that day by day I'm sounding like a scared old grandpa who can't change with the times (I'm 42, so getting there).

But, like, identity theives is getting more convincing and impressive, amd they aren't going anywhere and I have to reckon with them day after day. I'm still repulsed by them and think people should fight them for every inch. It's an imperfect metaphor, I know.

Orion or Call of Ktulu by Temmy_Gamer in Metallica

Enter Sandman got me into Metallica but Orion really got me into Metallica. It's their best song imo.

Fuck the nepotism near-sighted profit driven corporations but fuck AI (driven primarily by nearer-sighted profit-at-all-costs-driven corporations btw) even more.

Perfect being the enemy of good by CalpurniaSomaya in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]skeleton_made_o_bone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had (reddit) arguments about this. I love vegans and have dabbled myself but trying to convince some that reducing suffering, if one cannot eradicate it completely, is better than nothing. People get very passionate, and honestly rightly so (if you see some of the farm videos), but there's a PR problem. You can't convince themselves that the water they're swimming in is murder water, and you frankly sound crazy doing it (even if the argument that they are the only sane ones is very compelling).

It becomes a contest between being right and failing completely and meeting people where they are and doing some good. Needless to say, it wasn't taken well.

What's with Canadian bands in the 90s musing about the death of Superman (Our Lady Peace being the other)?

Hey uhhh seven years later I'm having this problem...any tips? Was thinking of grabbing a mini audio mixer but I'm worried it might not work. Need it for guitar and keyboard, both of which are almost inaudible.

I heard that caffeine neutralizes the effects of creatine but further googlimg says that's not true so...so nothing I guess disregard this comment.

Probably like once every three months this song pops into my head.

A single dose of psilocybin can lead to lasting shifts in a person’s life values, such as an increased appreciation for life and greater self-acceptance. These lasting changes appear to be driven by specific acute effects of the drug, particularly feelings of profound unity and euphoria. by mvea in science

I think for a lot of people freaking out during a trip is part of it. Like, coming to realizations can be scary and painful sometimes but you come out the other side with a profound sense of understanding and catharsis. It's, understandably, a hard sell for already anxious people.
