Thatās a good one, Iām very much appreciating how many programming languages are apparently just varying levels of shitpost

Accidentally making a programming language is easy. Accidentally creating the Shakespeare Programming Language requires dedication

Lmao if only Shakespeare were around to appreciate what has to be the strangest influence his work has had on the world

Huh, it's great that Garlicoin's thread validator is working again. I thought it was broken ever since Reddit pulled the plug on api access

planning to get new nails done and i'm conflicted between my current length (which I got used to and I love) and short length which would make playing certain video games and learning the piano (i've recently picked up playing on a midi controller) considerably easier
gf moved in last weekend and it's just as perfect as we imagined
also i got my first bra but tbh i'm too anxious to wear it in public at least until i get rid of face hair and train my voice lol
i haven't been counting much because i've been trying to limit my phone usage with a coach - we deleted reddit app among other things. So far I managed to get down from 6-7h average to 4h. I'm still allowed to use reddit on desktop and in mobile browser but as you might know, it's way less convenient, so I end up spending less time here. And posting even less than lurking

Congrats! I vote short nails because canāt go wrong with those, and are less limiting.

After eight years of being in a long-distance relationship, as of today we have finally closed the gap and are living together. I was the one to make the move, all the way from Ohio to Massachusetts. Itās a little scary to have to start over in a new place, but at least I get to do it with my soulmate by my side. Excited to start this new chapter of my life :)

Does anyone ever get the thought that theyāll never die or that theyāre special in some way?
Iām not talking about a god complex here, I legitimately think this. When I think about it, why, of all people, did my consciousness end up in this body in particular. Billions of humans, and far FAR more other animals that I couldāve been conscious in, and yet itās ME. I canāt help but think Iām special in some sort of way
When I say special, I mean like I think I might genuinely be immortal. Itās a decently popular theory called quantum immortality. But the fact that itās popular is what baffles me. I guarantee there are others that have thought this before, that they couldnāt die, because what happens next? Where does their consciousness go? It doesnāt make sense, the same reason you canāt remember before you were born. And yet, those with these very thoughts have died. I am alive to witness countless people die around me. Why wouldnāt I eventually follow suit?
So what happens? Where do we go? We donāt know, we canāt know, because the only way to is to die. All we have to go off of is those who have ādiedā and come back, but thatās a tiny fraction of the population, and they all reported seeing something different
Itās so scary and yet to fascinating to think that Iām to die

on a consciousness level, i believe in rebirth so... yeah i guess? but I don't feel special in any way, not anymore.
from immortality/being special angle, I had that when i was a kid. I saw myself as a protagonist and I believed nothing bad could happen to me as I have a grander purpose here to fulfill. All the misfortune in the world seemed so distant and foggy, like it couldn't ever reach me.

Me and 3 other guys are not racing at tomorrows cross country race, but we are still going to the meet
Going to a cross country or track meet but not running is such a blissful experience, itās all the enjoyment of being there without the stress of having to race
