    Yeah… I can barely smell at all. Even normally strong smells like that of the urine of an unfixed male cat aren’t particularly impactful to me. I wouldn’t have even considered the potentiality that ants have a distinctive smell in spite of being aware that they use pheromone trails for navigation.

    Felt this one yesterday. Just finished a semester with a great and charismatic professor.

    He got us all together for a class photo and I felt I should express my emotions so put on a big smile. Could feel how the muscles weren’t used to doing that.

    Society is optimized for the majority of people, not just certain personality types.

    Eh, more or less. Society is also distorted by those who have a significant amount of economic or political power. It’s still shaped very much with an exclusion of consideration of us but it’s not really something approaching a ‘decent fit for the majority’ rather I would say it’s something more akin to the powerful impressing their demands for the structure of society upon all of us and the majority contorting around it.

    Ex. Why doesn’t the US & Canada have a robust passenger rail network? Because of the influence of a strong automotive lobby (they used to and the car companies lobbied for it’s de-prioritization leading to slow degradation to the sorry state they’re in now).



  • To add to this: Yes, it does feel absolutely awful to lose the world when you die in hardcore.

    However, I also find the investment into the admittedly temporary and fragile world to be really rewarding. Doing things has a greater feeling of accomplishment, even if they’re the mundane actions of just staying alive in survival.

    Still reeed pretty hard when on my longest-running hardcore I died to piglins while bed-mining because I forgot to bring a backup gold helmet.





  • Dreams are a normal process of sleep. What they are, to the best of my understanding, is your brain doing one of it’s sleep-tasks: memory transfer from short to long term storage. Normally, recording new memories is suppose to be “off” during the process. It’s most common to remember them when your sleep isn’t very restful or is disturbed during the part of sleep where that process takes place, REM sleep.

    That being said I’m with ThrowawayPermanente, it’s extremely rare that I ‘dream’.
