No. I think people are extremely diverse in how they experience and engage with their individual subjectivity. I think a lot of people are like that at least some of the time, but it’s more complicated and probably a nonconscious behavior for most people when they are doing it. Describing it as a “mask” I think is potentially misleading because I don’t think that’s necessarily how people experience this phenomena subjectively.

VR is the best medium for horror. Everything is scarier compared to flat games.

Your mom is an asshole.

My standards aren’t especially high when it comes to cleaning before guests are over but definitely higher than many. Any area they will be in or anything they will interact with is my top priority, beyond that I am a lot more relaxed. If someone tried to make me feel bad about something minor like cat hair or a little dust they probably won’t ever be a guest again because that’s dickish and rude. As a guest you should never make your host feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, even if there’s a legitimate issue it should still be approached respectfully and with kindness.

I think Tucker Carlson might be able to, once Trump is out of his way.

It might be more prevalent with fentanyl but it’s not unique to it, I remember seeing the fold happening decades before fentanyl was around. I do think it is unique to opioids though, there’s a similar thing that can happen with dissociates but it’s got a different character to the movement and poses.

It’s not just fentanyl, it’s opioids in general. Junkies have been doing this long before fentanyl was available.

20 years sounds incredibly optimistic for any Samsung appliance.

It’s vague on purpose, what contributes is entirely contextual. It would take a lot to explain in detail and I don’t see a reason to spend the time when a high level summary gets the idea across.

I upvote things I disagree with if they contribute to the discourse in some way.

Yes, I only use it via syncthing-fork so this is a distinction without a difference to me.

Not sure if I qualify as extra paranoid but this whole situation feels very sketchy and has me reconsidering my use of syncthing. Making significant changes like this without any explanation is extremely bad practice.

How old is the cat? It’s only 1 ear or both ears?

If the company is doing crime, document and blow the whistle. If it’s evil in a way that doesn’t have legal consequences, try to start a union so they fire you, then cost them as much money as you can with lawyers.

Israel is integral to their eschatology. They can’t have Armageddon without certain conditions being met. Supporting Israel is intended to facilitate the the creation of those conditions.

Are the pink things jelly beans?

Tracking balloons is not easy, “our weather balloons” intentionally transmit their locations. There’s a lot more stuff floating around up there, some of it intentionally designed and operated not to be tracked. It’s relatively easy and affordable to put a big balloon way up there so all kinds of people do for all kinds of reasons.

I wouldn’t expect every balloon to be on any map, especially one available for free to the general public.

What kind of camera and lens? If it’s a phone camera, image processing could be a factor and it may look very different than the picture depicts. I would guess something shiny catching light is being distorted into what is seen in the image. I think it’s likely to be a high altitude balloon.
