Neither. Trick question.

I’d choose the secret third option:

The cyanide pill.

Terrifying.

Every. Single. Time.

Misread. My apologies.

I take comfort in getting older and getting closer to being dead.

I can barely wait. The comfort of nothingness is a great help.

Don’t. I mean a lot of people came here to escape advertising.

Being alone is not bad.

And a crowd seems like the loneliest place.

Damn. I missed making a good joke.

To make whoopee.

To make more than one head.

Anus? Or?

It rhymes…

All letters before A are silent.

Ice water after ANY mint.

Yes. But not for a long time.

I can believe it. Easily. No problem at all.

People say that a few large instances would be easy pickings for the profit motive, and monetizing.

There is a lot of handwringing over on mastodon about how people should not be directed to the large instances by default. And that people need to join the small instances to make sure mastodon (or fedi-verse) is not taken over by a few who want to profit off it. They mock those on large instances. They tell people they should join small instances.

But I have seen many small instances close and leave people in the lurch. I have seen a few people have to move several times.

I have seen users be abandoned and left with a broken instance that doesn’t work, and the admin nowhere to be seen.

I agree. But maybe the medium ones aren’t too bad.

Liminal.

It’s funny that people think this is cruelty to animals, but they don’t think killing tens of millions of cattle a year for food is cruelty to animals.

Then there is the hundred of millions of pigs killed a year for food.

=-)

This won’t last forever.

Yes. I understand what this person is saying.

I was not saying that this person thought the phenomenon did not exist or was made up.

My point is they are unwanted but won’t go away. That is why they are intrusive.

It is not any big mystery. It is a well known phenomenon. You try not to think of the thoughts, because they cause great pain, and the thoughts happen more.

What is the problem here? What is the great problem in calling them by a name that makes experiential sense? Nothing. There is no problem.

These intrusive thoughts often involve harming people we love. Which is like being tortured for hours daily, and months, and even years for some. We don’t want to think these thoughts, but they keep intruding on us.

Why do we not want to think of these thoughts as “our thoughts”? Because if they are our thoughts (or if they are us) then we are horrific monsters.

But through years of torture many of us have, emerged from the ruins of our life, and learned that we are not monsters. We are just being tortured by the monster of existence.
