Worked through my obsessions a bit and let go of them. In the following weeks I asked three women out and got shot down each time instead of thinking about doing so for a month and being a creep.

Unironically, good on you. That’s character progress and it takes a lot of courage and self-confidence to accept rejection in a mature way and keep trying regardless. For what it’s worth I as an Internet stranger think we should help more people do the same sort of things.

Her name is [kept to myself because I’m a gentleman who doesn’t kiss and tell]. I hope I, in turn, am not someone’s most alarming thing but it’s possible :P

I’d say it’s sometimes ok, sometimes necessary for brevity, and sometimes accurate. Accurate = “All people need oxygen, water, and calories to survive.” Brevity = “Generally speaking, people enjoy good food and good company so those situations work well for forming relationships.”

Consequences of generalizations have a lot to do with how tolerable they are. If I say, “most people like pizza” there’s not much harm if several million people don’t. If I say, “all or most people of this gender/ethnicity/religion/whatever have X problem” that’s a lot more problematic because it can easily lead to a consequence of harmful prejudice. When it comes to matters of ethics, beliefs, accusations etc. it becomes very important to handle cases individually as much as humanly possible.

Can I get a courtesy indictment?

I have previously wondered what scientists like Nile from the YouTube channels NileRed and NileBlue or Styropyro could do if they wanted to.

Nile is a chemist does things like turning plastic gloves into hot sauce or making super-reactive chemicals that really don’t want to exist. In some of his videos he’ll be making an intermediary chemical and say stuff along the lines of, “If I drop this we all die”.

Styropyro is legitimately like a mad scientist without the evil, and deals mainly with huge amounts of electricity and military-grade laser builds. He flat-out tells people that if they try to reproduce his experiments there’s a very good chance they’ll die or be seriously injured. In that military-grade laser video he burns a hole through a steel truck door from hundreds of feet away.

It’s probably Photoshop or something similar, so you aren’t far off. I’ve had it since 2015 and there are a bunch of them based off a pic from that time, like this one captioned “Some men just want to watch the world learn”:

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
― Epicurus

It’s one of my go-to arguments against intelligent design.

“Human calls lowered 3 octaves might be what dinosaurs actually sounded like. Haunting yet beautiful!”

Given the medical/psychological benefits being explored, it could even be “Your resistance only makes me stronger”.

No worries friend, it’s why she was a perfect match for my dad who is a fun guy (fungi).

Unless it’s been surpassed, the world’s largest living organism is a 9 square kilometer fungus that’s been growing for about 10,000 years.
