I like the art style of only having color on the edges of objects. Really sets the mood.

I liked parts of it, other parts felt like a drag. I’d say its worth it if you’re craving Kurt’s signature style, otherwise maybe not.

If by flying you mean UFOs then yes

“Sirens of Titan” by Kurt Vonnegut talks about this. There is a group that tries to even out natural unfairness with self imposed handicaps. People with great eyesight wear glasses that make them blinder, people with naturally athletic builds tie weights to themselves to slow their movement and so on.

The problem would be solved if they could just accept each other

Lawful neutral looks like he’s thinking thay he’s legally allowed to run you over

You may want to look into Stoicism.

Its like asking a caveman if the sky is made of water. There is just no way for them to give the right answer without taking a guess and getting lucky.

I’ll check it out! Best outcome of this thread is all the alien books I now have to check out.

Some really interesting ideas in that Diaspora except, reminds me of a lot of the ideas you can find in the indie scifi scene right now. I’ll definitely check it out!

While looking up alien sci-fi I found “Perdido Street Station” which starts with the main character helping out a bird alien (according to the summary.)

Honestly might just jump to Reef based on that! I’ll do some more research first.

As an American I’m still astounded by the idea of “playing” tarot haha. Never even occurred to me as a possibility.

I’ll check it out! Thanks

Whoever made this put a lot of work into it damn

I have two accounts. One with nothing blocked, and this one were I blocked all the serious subs, news subs, depressing subs, etc. so that I could switch to it when things got overwhelming.

Ended up being so much happier with the filtered feed I almost never flip back. I’m still aware of current happenings from other sources and Lemmy is my chill out spot and I love it.

Cant donate today but will soon. Is there any info on current funding levels/cost to run/goals trying to be reached?

Well I wasn’t going to comment because I thought everyone here was going to say “you’re describing everyone we all feel that way” but I guess not haha

Everything you said in your original post is something I’ve said when describing myself to my SO or friends. I’ve been called condescending and I’ve worked very hard to not be that way. Sometimes when I start hanging out with someone new or get a new coworker I can tell by first impressions they aren’t going to like me. Nowadays I can usually turn it around but in the past I would just try not to bother them. People will say “why do you hate me?” and it will catch me off guard because I dont feel that way at all.

I’m also told I can be very argumentative. I get that less now as I am more aware of it, but people who know me know that I am passionate about my opinions.

I don’t have any advice besides thank people who give you feedback. Being yourself doesn’t mean not working on your social skills, they can be trained like anything else. I’ve definitely learned better habits, I have more and closer friends through years of work and introspection.

Also you are not a psychopath and there isn’t anything wrong with you. Most likely your social type isn’t the majority and you have to work a bit harder to gel with the mainstream. Its just something to be aware of. I often feel like my '“true self” is hidden from others, so I try to be as real as possible with my SO and my closest friends.

Someone has already staked him!
