Yes! I planned to make a library of christmas movies for my wife, each year adding new releases. But very soon I realized my naivity because there are so! Many! Of them! Every single year there are like 50 new releases of copy-paste romantic commedies

Always reminds me this great piece with Ricky Gervais

The design is a bit bland in my opinion but still good 👍 But something more interresting would be great, f.e.

And I love when people caste others by their race, telling them what they can and cannot do based on it 🍿

It wasn’t necessary, he was staying alive

Maybe it’s just nostalgia but in my opinion, with youtube it went all to shit the moment the money started to be involved. Algorithm chasing, advertisement, reactive content, sponsors, quickly generated videos, … and all the other shit.

So if monetization, then let’s try to avoid same mistakes

I mean … in a way? When one looks at it from nature’s point of view, no organism has some “given right to live”, all organisms try to survive. But do we, as a society, really want to live like animals, each for themself, without empathy, without solidarity?

He’s just a dude and he’s on fire

No, what you experienced is called apophenia - you see connections between things that are unrelated. Your friend is fine

Not really, I go to regular service checks

And back then they weren’t called “memes” but we called them (de)motivational pictures

Aren’t their noises a mating calls? You should’ve played a porno to it. Or a romantic commedies? Not sure what would be the best equivalent

Those starving people just need to work hard

Do we have r/im14andthisisdeep on Lemmy?

Cat owners are the weirdest …

C’mon! Bring your pitchforks, I’m not afraid of you!

I can’t answer because I have it exactly the same as you OP, just maybe to add some points. As you said, I remember seeing my friends having this incredible drive, this incredible pull, like nothing in the world is more important right here right now than to get that girl tonight. Lying, backstabbing, spending money, anything goes. It was to the point they basically changed personalities almost completely. I remember the worst example was that one time one of my best friends tried to ridicule me in front of a girl he met like 30 min ago (and I saw he’s immediately interested in her), because me and her were chatting about something and she seemed interested in the topic. I was like “dude wtf? I’m not trying to ‘steal her’ from you, we’re just talking”

But anyway, some 2 cents what helped me with that. So I did 2 things at almost the same time and I’m not sure which one did the trick - I started exercising (running) and stopped masturbating. But my guess is it was the later, after like a month I felt like I could ‘smell the colors’ - I was constantly horny and my shyness went almost completely away. The pull still wasn’t on the level of my friends, but yeah, there was a change in me

When it comes to people you meet each day (friends, colleagues, schoolmates, …), are there people among them you’d call ‘genuinely evil’? Is it a majority of them?

Jurassic park - hell yeah, clone those dinosaurs Mr. Hammond! This is one of the most amazing achievements in human history. What about ‘chaos theory’? What about nature? What the fuck are you talking about people? Don’t you see what’s going on here?

You could say that’s all that mattress? … I…I show myself out
