My wife hates this. I love it.

But do you love it because she hates it?

Do you ever just sit and listen to music, or do you have to be doing something else at the same time?

I have an over-active imagination and music stimulates it. There’s almost no time in which I’m listening to music and not imagining some emotion-stirring scenario in my head.

What game do you personally have the most hours played in?

Tedesche @lemmy.world 3d ago

Definitely Skyrim, across multiple editions and platforms. And I’m proud to say I never sank into the stealth-archer habit. Armored mage FTW muthafucka!

What makes you hold utter and continual contempt against the world?

Jump

Tedesche @lemmy.world 4d ago

Oh, man, where to start? The tribal nature of humanity is a core problem in our psychology that leads to so many different problems in modern society, it’s difficult to even fathom. We just aren’t evolved to live in a society this large. We’re also grossly myopic and don’t act to fix problems that we know are coming but aren’t right in front of us yet. Then there’s the fact that we have advanced science and yet tons of us still subscribe to religion.

I don’t know if contempt for humanity is right phrase for what I feel, but I definitely consider myself a misanthrope. Disappointment might be more accurate.

The Trump Administration Aims to Penalize Disabled Adults Who Live With Their Families

Jump

Tedesche @lemmy.world 5d ago

To Trump, these people are “losers” because they’re disabled.

What's an aspect of you that people don't know about?

Jump

Tedesche @lemmy.world 5d ago

I flirted with the manosphere for a while. I don’t regret it, but I’m aware enough of the public perception that I don’t mention it to most people today. Yes, I’m aware of the irony of announcing it here. I would simply say that it suffers from the over-simplification of groups and ideas that affect all groups today, including feminism. Are there bad elements to it? Absolutely, but even feminists admit it has good points and members. People just tend to submit to basic views of things in general.

Do you fulfill a lot of stereotypes?

Jump

Tedesche @lemmy.world 5d ago

We all do. Stereotypes contain kernels of truth, which do define groups to a certain extent. At the same time, no one fits the bill absolutely perfectly. So, it’s all a matter of perspective and standards. Stereotypes provide general rules of thumb that can be just as harmful as they are helpful. Knowing where to stop applying them is the real artistry.

Most people in open relationships will get jealous and resentful

Jump

Tedesche @lemmy.world 5d ago

It takes a certain type of person to accomplish this successfully. I’ve seen it, but it’s admittedly rare. You’re right that this is the sadly more common outcome, but you’re wrong if you think it’s impossible.

Democrats Introduce Bill To More Than Triple The Minimum Wage

Jump

Tedesche @lemmy.world 5d ago

This is garbage. It appeals to a far left constituency while alienating the moderate left people who are just trying to make their small businesses work. There has got to be a compromise line between these two groups. This is not how you win elections.

I applaud your appeal to rationality.

But most human believe in God. Rationality is beyond our grasp. We’re fucked.

Atlantic writer sued by Kash Patel says she’s been ‘inundated’ with new sources

Jump

Tedesche @lemmy.world 1w ago

I agree with your analysis. I hate Popper’s paradox of tolerance though. Not because I disagree with it but because of how it’s used by angry leftists to justify their own hatred. I do think fascists should be executed, but only the ones that truly would kill others for their ideology. Too many people on the left are fine with killing those that merely provide cover for the truly violent by agreeing with their views but not having the conviction to carry them out. ACAB people bother me this way. Patel is a piece of trash. But he’s a worthless piece of it. Let him drink himself to death. Let him be an example to his people.

How disabling is mild dyslexia?

Jump

Tedesche @lemmy.world 1w ago

I have mild dyslexia. It makes reading take a lot longer (about 100 pages in 3 hours), and it makes telling left vs. right a bit of a chore (1-2 seconds of additional cognitive load), but other than that, it’s been okay. I don’t know if that lines up with what other people call “mild dyslexia” though. I’m judging myself based on other cases I’ve read about/heard.

Using a racially-based pop-culture reference to make fun of someone seems pretty in line with racism to me. Just because it’s making fun of someone we don’t like seems little reason to discount it as racism.

This is like when someone put a statue of Trump with a micro penis in some park in New York. People loved it, but if someone had done the same thing to Hillary, there would be uproar. I hate Trump, but making fun of his body is no better when it’s him than it is when it’s someone else.

Why u still single?

Jump

Tedesche @lemmy.world 2w ago

I decided in my mid-to-late 20’s that I did not want kids and that relationships tend to bring too much stress into my life. And from what I’ve seen from most other people’s relationships and marriages, I do not regret my decision. And these aren’t even bad relationships/marriages. They’re very functional. But there’s still stress and “drama” in all of them. No, thanks.

Tough question, but the first one that comes to mind is the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.

What's your opinion on ethical incest?

Jump

Tedesche @lemmy.world 2w ago

Consenting adults can do what they want, so long as they’re not hurting anyone else. It’s nobody else’s business.

Not to get into a debate. If God is so omnipotent and above humans why does he or she have emotions? Like smiting or being upset or wrath?

Jump

Tedesche @lemmy.world 2w ago

People who believe in God have failed to adequately reflect on their beliefs. Religion is fairy tales for adults. Sorry, but that’s the truth. Your question is simply a step on the staircase of rationality.
