Head on…I applied directly to the forehead, but nothing happened.

Found Al from Home Improvement.

“I don’t think so, Tim.”

Found the one who doesn’t shave or trim…down there…

Don’t worry. We can still do the club dance where we bash their body back and forth between us using our chests to throw them around, making them spill their overpriced club drink!

Great contribution to the conversation. We all understand what you’re saying, and who you’re talking about. We’re all just ready to continue this conversation that we ABSOLUTELY can be a part of, and have opinions on.

…oh wait.

I think they’re trying to be funny. I’ve also noticed a mild uptick in downvotes overall. Used to be 1 downvote per comment. Now it’s like 2-3 per comment, but it’s not consistant. So I’m thinking that’ll die off when they get bored. It doesn’t feel like automatic bot downvote style.

They look frightened. They look like they need nice warm homes.

I’ve always had an alternative take on the “afterlife”. Some people like to think of spirits as this tangible thing, like a ghost, or something that is self aware. I see it more like how someone would say “The spirit of the city comes alive at these events!”. So in that case, the city has a spirit. It’s not a ghost, but that’s more along the lines of how I interpret the spirit. My grandma died in October. Her spirit lives on with me until the day I die. I will continue spreading stories of the things she’s taught to me. In that way, she will continue to inspire people who she’s never even met. So in that way her spirit lives on.

So now that you get the idea of what I mean by spirit, here is what I think happens to us when we die. In the short term, you cease to exist. You don’t experience anything more. You don’t look down upon people from the heavens. You don’t roam the earth observing life. You just…don’t exist anymore. In the long term your spirit lives on. Each persons spirit will continue a different length of time. I’m sure there was probably a guy named Tom who lived in what is now Boston, back in the 1600s. I have no idea about who or what Tom did, because everything he ever did has been forgoten. Toms spirit has died. Others have their spirit live on for much longer. George Washingtons spirit lives on as long as America lives on. There may or may not have been a guy named Jesus. If he did exist, he’s got to hold the record for longest living spirit. I can’t think of anybody elses spirit from 2000+ years ago we still think about today.

The point is, while you’re alive you have the chance to make an impact on as many or as few people as you can. Physically everybody is going to experience death differently. Ironically, people who are executed through lethal injection have the easiest death I can think of. Pain free. The rest of us are going to experience something much more horrible. Some die in their sleep peacefully.

But after you’re gone, your spirit is all that remains. How long it remains depends on who you inspired, and what concepts you gave birth to for societies benefit.

He made it sound like it was a dark joke that he was appologizing for. To my knowledge Andre didn’t get involved in anything dark. So death is the first thing that comes to mind for me. I probably am wrong, because either way I still don’t get why the joke would be funny in either case.

Mostly my phone. I just use the samsung browser and go to the site directly. No app. Right now I’m on my tablet. Same concept, samsung tablet. Samsung browser.

Oddly enough, I can’t use my PC at home. Firefox just will not load Lemmy, and I don’t know why. It loads parts of it…but the bulk of the page is just an endless spinny circle.

Here’s a good example.

Posted on a post that was last commented on 26 days ago. I post that comment, and now within 2 minutes, downvote. Another different comment in the same topic, same thing, within 5 minutes.

I’m not sure how you see the upvotes/downvotes, but on my UI I see in the upper right, the total calculated votes. But in the lower left I see Upvotes, and Downvotes individually. Plus when I post, my upvoting my own comment is automatic.

Because it’s so consistant. Exactly one downvote on most of my comments within minutes of it being posted. I could see if I were on someones bad side, and they did this for like a week…this has been since day 1 of me being here, and it’s almost every comment.

The ONLY thing I could think of that would piss someone off to stalk a profile like that, is if someone who uses and loves linux is THAT upset that I don’t understand linux. But the consistancy of it is just…I can’t imagine this is human. It’s just been going on for so long, on too many posts, and almost immediately after posting a comment. You’d think they’d give up if it were a human.

Don’t worry, if Kyiv’s getting nuked, so are all the rest of us, so you’d have found out long before you had time to read about it! :D

Actually, I don’t think they’d ever find out about it. One second they would exist, and then suddenly, not so much. Obviously no one has any way to prove this, but the going expectation is that if you get nuked, you don’t even feel pain. It happens so fast, you just cease to be an alive person anymore, and instead become a pile of ash. You essentially go from healthy living human, to creamation where you stand, in an instant.

Obviously nobody who’s ever been vaporized like that can comment after the fact if they felt pain, or were aware of anything. What we do know is there have been recovered scenes after the Japanese nuked cities where you see a shadow in the shape of a person. That’s where that person was, and their body cast enough of a shadow in that moment of bright intense light, that it prevented the ground from being cooked by the blast. Unfortunately, nobody was giving the middle finger to something unrelated when the blast happened. As dark as the situation was, if it had to happen, it would have been kinda neat if the shadows were doing something interesting by pure chance.

But yeah, they wouldn’t have had time to even know they’d been bombed.

As a kid? My drunk dad fucking shit up downstairs. Falling down the stairs. Throwing plates at the tv.

As an adult? “Hey it’s Josh from Lets Game it out! Today we’re checking out Satisfactory! So NEW GAME!”

Is this whole thing FOSS, and using ActivityPub?

TomSpace.

…there’s no website I can go to? It’s app only?

Love it! Now we just need a guy named Tom, and a super potato quality camera for Toms profile pic.

I want a MySpace clone. Does that exist as an open source project in the fediverse?
