Ok, what? When you were 20, how many 14 year olds did you interact with?

I can count exactly 1. It was my (ex) sister in law.

I don’t know if you know this, but the cat community makes up a lot of shit about cats because cats have one personality in general: cat.

That’s… Wait. That’s the whole premise of all the games dammit.

Yeah, anyone seeing this as Putin doing jackshit is kidding themselves.

This is about having the US attack Europe. Or maybe just Ukraine. Who knows.

It doesn’t really matter. What matters is that the US is compromised, and Europe needs to be ready for that yesterday.

Not fully, but we know it requires a minimum amount of activity in the brains of vertabrates, and at least observable in some large invertebrates.

I’m vastly oversimplifying and I’m not an expert, but essentially all consciousness is, is an automatic processing state of all present stimulation in a creatures environment that allows it to react to new information in a probably survivable way, and allow it to react to it in the future with minor changes in the environment. Hence why you can scare an animal away from food while a threat is present, but you can’t scare away an insect.

It appears that the frequency of activity is related to the amount of information processed and held in memory. At a certain threshold of activity, most unfiltered stimulus is retained to form what we would call consciousness - in the form of maintaining sensory awareness and at least in humans, thought awareness. Below that threshold both short term and long term memory are impaired, and no response to stimulation occurs. Basic autonomic function is maintained, but severely impacted.

Agents have debated that the new phenomenon may or may not constitute a new designation. While some have reported the painting following them, the same agents will then later report nothing seems to occur. The agents who report a higher frequency of the painting following them also report a higher frequency of unexplained injury. The injuries can be attributed to cases of self harm, leading scientists to believe these SCP agents were predisposed to mental illness that was not caught during new agent screening.

Idk. Sometimes I wonder if psychosis is preferable to reality.

What? God this whole damn thread is straight over my head

Well

I guess I’m gonna be that guy at Thanksgiving

Edit: I have no idea what that is, but it doesn’t do what I was thinking

And I just get shame for no sex at all.

Life

Edit: that is exactly what happened to me as a teen. And might be happening to me now. Goddamnit.

Hey, I’ve made two friends through online dating in the past two years.

I get that the ruling class intends to keep it complicated (I got banned from Facebook dating because I mentioned cocaine in a status). But going to places and meeting people is at least a step.

Edit: also, exploit limerance? I’m unsure how that would work. I’m oblivious to those kind of things and sort of worried now.

You know, it might be a growing up thing.

With one of my current friends, it started out with romantic intentions for both of us. If I take everything I have been told as honest truth, it’s not off the table for her, and I can say it’s not off the table for me.

I’m not sure I even understand what romance is. Is it just adding sex to a friendship?

I desire the emotional intimacy. I desire intellectual intimacy. So long as I have that, physical intimacy can wait until I find someone who is ready for that (if I’m even ready myself).

I’ve gone over two and a half years since I had sex with my now ex wife. I’m in no rush. I saw where that got me.

You’re making a mountain out of a molehill.

Mexico waffled nothing. They removed the signs. The statement of believe or not isnt consequential.

Rocks can’t think.

We made talking rocks. That’s worse.

You might be reading too much into that. The article stated Mexico’s naval personnel removed them as the personnel acted on the information they had. I would highly doubt they were going to go to great lengths to confirm the exact coordinates of the boarder.

Do I think that’s what the Americans were trying to do? Yes. But Mexico didn’t waffle it.

Software Engineer here: computers were a mistake.

Hmm. I haven’t heard of limerence before.

I have experienced it apparently. I don’t recommend it. How did I get out of it? The fuck if I know. Distance? Time? Severe and Jarring life stressors unrelated to it?
