  If you figure it out, do let me know.

  Until then, thank you for posting stuff I can genuinely relate to and start conversations about. Even though that’s probably not a sign of good mental health.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valid Theory: Scientists Are Actually Wizards⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wizard and wisdom come from the same root, so yeah. A wizard is just a person that knows more than people around him. The wise person.

  Balatro has a mobile port.

  In the same way that the sunlight’s spectrum has the most energy of green wavelengths, which are conveniently in the middle of the light spectrum visible by humans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. I’m not yet that feeble that the lid is too heavy to lift again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely put the lid down before flushing. No need so splash the sharticles all over the toilet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If reincarnation exists, suicide could make things much much worse.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, that is a take I can understand. I can’t say I completely agree, but thanks for clarifying!

  Ultimately the difference between our arguments is just vibe-based, I think. I don’t feel like there’s a “ghost in the machine” outside of my brain, but, again, it’s just a personal subjective feeling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If reincarnation exists, suicide could make things much much worse.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is true. But it also doesn’t prove that I’m not defined by my brain and memories. I didn’t chose to have most of my memories either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If reincarnation exists, suicide could make things much much worse.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your argument - if I understood it correctly - was that I’m not my brain because I’m not in complete control of my brain. But then I’m not in complete control over what most people would agree is part of my identity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If reincarnation exists, suicide could make things much much worse.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s just Ship of Theseus and can’t be defined.

  I’m not made of the same atoms and molecules as I was a decade ago. Some of them might be still around, but it’s mostly completely new particles. Am I still the same person I was a decade ago? If not, how come I can claim ownership of stuff some other guy with the same name bought back then?

  I think I’ve read that on the quantum level you actually can’t make the exact same configuration of particles and energy levels in two places at the same time. Trying to create a copy of an object (or, in general, any configuration of particles) would inevitably cause the original to cease to exist. But it’s also mostly a thought experiment, as we can’t do that with more than a few quantum particles at a time.

  So far, as best as humanity is able to tell, your memories are you. If we ever get to Star Trek style teleportation, maybe we can define that more rigourously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If reincarnation exists, suicide could make things much much worse.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I was completely in control of my identity, I could stop being bisexual at will. Not a very compelling argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If reincarnation exists, suicide could make things much much worse.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Repressed memories from trauma still leave subconscious changes in behaviour, though.

  If I lost all my memories until the age of 12 and no trace of any habit or thought remained, then yes. Whoever I used to be died.

  I am my brain and the memories it contains. I am the SD card.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If reincarnation exists, suicide could make things much much worse.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, if I forget everything in the next life, that won’t be me any more. In a sense, I would be permanently gone regardless of whether it’s technically the same soul.

  Those refer to different people? The first one is about people with NPD, the second is referring to specifically neurotypical abusers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The events at hogwarts were just an escalating series of magical school shootings 🤔⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you fragment your gender into small enough particles, it will become a gender fluid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The events at hogwarts were just an escalating series of magical school shootings 🤔⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mashle is very distinctly a Harry Potter parody, yep. All the way to the “chosen one” scar. Even the magic school headmaster looks 1 to 1 like anime Dumbledore.
