  • I mean, in my own case, I’m such a bloody mess I couldn’t really recommend someone be in a long term relationship with me. Or nothing too deep, anyway. I’d feel like I’d drag them down. But all that aside, the biggest reason I can think of to be hesitant about commitment is that, in commiting, you will find yourself having to give up control of your life at times and making comprises for the other person’s sake. Where as if you are non-comittant, you will have more autonomy to lead your life how you wish.


  • I’m in a similar boat as you. I admittedly doomscroll too much, so I always want a ton of content. I’ll cycle through New, Hot, Most Active, and Top: Day on Lemmy via the Sync app first, then switch to reddit for a little while before checking New on Lemmy again. Lemmy may not have the population of Reddit yet, but it’s community comments is no where near as frustrating to read through and it’s much more varied in topics than reddit’s modern /all.

    Hoping to wean myself off Reddit entirely.

    Truthfully, the white collar bit has me more interested than anything given such a world is much more removed and distant from my life than the NSFW stuff.

    1. You got a kid or kids, how much do you intend to help them with money? Like, would you take care of them without question even if they didn’t or couldn’t work? Or do you demand of them to go out into the world and make their own fortunes with limited help? No help? Etc.

    2. I guess in rolling with the NSFW theme here, as someone who can live the white collar life and presumably socialize within it, how often do you think men are really banging their maids versus the porn trope it’s made out to be?

    3. What is your single most expensive possession that isn’t a vehicle, house, or kid?




  • I’m not, but a friend is. With a couple, actually. He’d inevitably wind up sleeping with them now and again, and at this point one has just become a fuck buddy with no real relationship attached. But really, it’s your own dynamics that matter here, and that’s between you and that person. So how anything winds up going, well, the one’s most qualified to make best guesses are you and them.


  • I can’t help but think of how the original Deus Ex existed in a world where crackpot conspiracy theories like this were just the reality. And this sounds like it would make a great setting itself as some agent works their way through a conspiracy, going on a small world tour of levels in various major powers of the world before finally ending in a boss battle in some hidden hi-tech but occultish basement of the Vatican where we find the Anti-Christ is preparing to unleash whatever high-tech equivalent is for the Mark of the Beast, and it’s our final big job to take him down to stall his coming to power for the next millenia or some nonsense.

    Sorry if you take your theories seriously, I just can’t. But I’d bet they’d make a cool story.












  • The weeping and gnashing of teeth isn’t even explicitly hell.

    10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

    It’s just a general separation from God. Which you could call a Hell, but it’s not explicitly stated as a product of that realm which is Hell.
