You know how it's often said that the cruelty is the point? Always has been.

Yeah... That's true.

My local small town (not in California) used to have fireworks, but for the last few years replaced them with drones. But I guess enough people complained that this year it's neither, just a party during the day.

I hadn't heard this detail, what does it mean in practice?

I believe in an actual bee hive when a queen dies they just queenify a new worker with that royal jelly stuff. Maybe Borg can do that too.

Love it, but is there an exception for blatant spam like those porn accounts that have been posting in random communities lately? I usually just send a report of "Spam" when I see one regardless of where it is.

For me I feel 25 until I try to walk up two flights of stairs.

Not as immersive, but TV/Movies, songs, even books are like that too.

I think it's not that everyone wants to exploit, but if the opportunity exists and there are insufficient systems to discourage it, then some will. As demonstrated by [wide gesture at everything]

My dreams are extremely dream-like and incoherent.
When in one I typically don't have the mental presence to consider thoughts as complex as whether it's a dream. But on the rare occasions it does occur to me, it's pretty clear right away and then I try to control the dream a bit, which sometimes works.

That's not the case right now, so this is reality.

Thanks, yeah, I've noticed weirdness lately too in the question communities, but hadn't really thought about it.

It's not actually a prayer, just an acknowledgement. But yes.
