Casual Conversation @lemm.eeEnglish · 1 day ago

I keep thinking about stuff like:

The fact that there are galaxies I won’t be able to visit (because I’d be dead before humanity goes interstellar)
The face that my childhood sucked and I could never really experince a normal childhood again in this lifetime (feeling of “nostalgia”)
The fact that there are secrets the government is hiding that the average civillian will never be able to know (fear of “missing out”)
We may never discover the true nature / true origin of the universe (at least, not in my lifespan)
Not knowing if the world is even real (as in, simulation theory, solipcism)
There would be Movies and TV shows I wont be able to experience (fear of missing out)
There were technology that I never got to experience “in the moment”: telegraphs, black and white tv, radios, old gaming devices, etc… (I mean yes, they still exist, but its not the same as experiencing it in that time period). To be clear, I still prefer current and future technology, but I just want to go back in time for like a week to check things out like it was back then, then come back, you get what I’m saying?

I can’t ever just stop thinking and relax. My brain is so fucked.

This isn’t like a “phase”, this has been my life for years. Constant non-stop thoughts. 😓

I used to. But eventually I made peace with myself - no matter how much I fret over them, there are things I’ll never know or experience.

I probably need to thank Huxley for that, if not for Island I’d be probably stuck living in the past or the future. Or both at the same time.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won’t be punished for trying.
Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There’s a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it’s vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a “controversial” message for it to be allowed.
Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a “spammy” message must be applicable to four purple answers before it’s allowed.
Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it “would be a copyright violation if the info was art” as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar’s Number) or less, it’s considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
