It is a thing. The classic name is the hippie speedball. I would say it definitely feels different, but I have ADHD do stimulants might work different for me than others.

Kinda speaks to the lie of the meritocracy when your merit remains even or grows, and the system can’t decide whether you should be on the top or bottom

Lots of times. I had a police officer draw a gun on me and I didn’t get shot so that’s a big one. I once won a roomba in a company raffle. In a D&D campaign my character got reincarnated and I got the 1/100 roll to be the same species as I started. Oh, and here’s an astronomical one, I met my fiancée through a random hookup post on the other site. We talked all night but their medication at the time gave them memory issues and they forgot me the next day. Being patient and recapping our interaction from the night before may have been the most momentous decision of my life. All predicated on the luck of seeing the post at the right time and actually getting a reply on a hookup post DM

Gotcha, that makes sense. That’s more or less what I meant by seems super small to get angry over. I find it difficult to believe a single persons capacity to make multiple accounts and vote makes all that much difference in any one thread

I’m curious what the accusations of double voting are about. Does she think you are using an alt to upvote yourself? Seems like an insanely small thing to get angry about.

Seeing how many fireflies we’re getting this year makes me a little proud of managing my lawn in a way thats beneficial. Definitely helping my mood to have a little light up hope spot most nights

From your post history, it sounds like you are feeling overwhelming guilt over some intrusive thoughts you’ve been having. Intrusive thoughts are natural, and (most likely) happen to everyone to varying degrees. Try to remember that it is the actions you take that define you, and not the thoughts you have. One can follow from the other but they don’t need to.

How old are you if you don’t mind my asking? I think if this is troubling you a great deal you should talk to a professional, who could equip you to lose the shame/alarm these intrusions cause you and to have some strategies to act positively regardless. This is a good idea in general, but if you are late teens to early thirties it might be especially important to see someone, particularly if this is a recent thing for you. Were you always feeling this guilt, or is it only in the past few years? Has the religious Satan/Demon aspect always been associated with these feelings for you or is that new? If these are new and you are in that age range I would especially recommend getting checked out, some lifelong mental illnesses can manifest in that time and the earlier you know the less pain it will cause you in the long run.

My Fiancee would notice very quickly. My family it would be weeks if not longer

I would guess no. The Rose Quartzes were only made on Earth and only for pink, so unless they had been an Earth Kindergartner they wouldn’t necessarily be familiar enough with the gem line

If people travel on the right, then perhaps the uneven wear is a result of splash from people passing on your left. If it consistently comes from the same side that could be your issue

MaxNormal TikTikTik. MaxNormal is a weird culty band, and TikTikTik is a strange song about not doing meth

SIM Park was really good for that too

You don’t have to taunt Harry that your nanomachines got a promotion before he did

There are a few different factors. I think the biggest is that the lifecycle for windows 10 is ending. Microsoft is pushing the upgrade, but 11 has Recall which is essentially AI spyware. Many folks are trying to push Linux instead of upgrading when support is fully cut off
