Actually, now you come to mention it...

I've been very lucky and haven't come close to death (yet), but I have had some dream experiences that resembled NDEs.

I tried three times to control what I dreamed about. The dreams weren't like dreams, is the best way I can put it - they were very short, very vivid, and clearly linked to the "intention" I'd requested. The second dream featured a pair of strangers trying to tell me something.

The last one, I went down a long tunnel (like a storm drain) and ran into people who, indeed, drove me out and told me I shouldn't be there. After that, I wasn't able to do it again.

Unsure if just weird dreams or if I actually got too close to something. The thing that makes me think there might be something in NDEs, tbh, is the stories palliative care nurses seem to have.

Not sure that atheism excludes belief in life after death, tbh. We're all alive right now with no god, after all.

Japanese translators hate him!

No, really, they hate him.

Too many secrets.

It is still a great movie.

Mate, you might as well complain your house is too hot because you run the heating all summer. Your insulation is working fine, you're just nerfing it by not keeping the sun out.

It's more like a tiny minority of cis women think all trans people should be shot at dawn and they get all the press, and are the only ones permitted to be acknowledged as "true women" with rights and shit—ironically.

source, am woman who really doesn't care where people piss and shit and thinks we can't get evidence on whether trans people have advantages in sport or not unless we let them, y'know, do sport

I don't wear much gold, but my glasses are gold-framed and I'm quite fond of them. They stand out in a way silver or titanium wouldn't.

Because it keeps breaking down; because people are getting randomly banned for no reason; because the chance it has a future is essentially nil, because there's essentially no abuse controls any more so if someone spams you out of the blue multiple times with CSAM discussion and then calls you a necrophile when you block them (as happened to me this week) you have no recourse; because you can only send ten DMs a day or some stupid number now; because "X" is silly and ugly and you're cross about the cute bird...

and because Elon is a narcissistic fuckboy, natch.

Yeah, but you can't make them move, can you. People are like birds flocking, they want their communities, and until people start to move organically they won't go. You can talk to them all you like about how it's better and how it's not scary, but nobody's going to go anywhere that doesn't have the content they want.

You're interpreting a much older shorthand with online emoticon rules. XO is a closed-eye open-mouth emoticon, but XOXO has been "hugs and kisses" for long enough to have been used when people wrote letters by hand.
