I liked the dog, having wanted a pet as a kid, I could sort of simulate that on the computer.

Illness, death, and antisocial behavior. All of these were threats we evolved to handle, people who are “a little bit off” in one way or another, who might endanger the group or individual. This, and that our pattern seeking brains don’t like it when something doesn’t easily fit within an existing schema, even more so if it lies just outside of our existing preconceptions.

Obviously, I can’t say that these definitely are the reasons why we experience the uncanny valley, but I think it’s probably a better explanation than… Skin walkers? Or whatever else the meme would be implying.

Still, it’s a cool premise for a horror story at least.

With a baseball bat. Politely.

Yep

Welcome to the club, bud 👍

Evidently, yes.

To be fair, Leviathan is a banger middle name. Plus you can be called Levi for short :)

What’s the problem?

It depends. I’ve known some people who use it to say they’re the crazy type or Republican too, but I’ve also heard it used by more moderate Republicans and conservatives, who don’t want to associate with Trump and the other authoritarians in the right-wing of the party. I’ve also seen it used by non-aligned voters, who don’t have another label for themselve, so just default to “libertarian”, because they’ve heard it before.

It’s like trying to make a person learn how to play the flute by just handing them a flute. If they don’t know how to assemble it, clean it, hold it, press the keys, and proper embouchure, they’re never going to learn how to play the instrument.

As a general rule, Conservatives don’t believe in mental health. Mental illness is thought of as a personal failing, and an issue to be solved by an individual “toughening-up”.

Scream not working because space make deaf.

We did square dancing, but I’m from Texas, so our families joined the hoedown. I was so proud of my bolo, fond memories.

And I don’t think it was part of the curriculum, I think they were just throwing a party for graduation or something. It’s been years, and this was when I was little, in elementary school.

I say otherwise, & I will happily bathe in the righteous flames of the eternally damned, rather than suffer the unholy blight of pickles on my beloved grilled cheese.

Soy bilingue :)

I would be one of them 👋 I’ve used Windows up until I got my SteamDeck, & it works perfectly for my mostly light browsing needs, when I’m not gaming on it.
