Despite having a very scientific mindset to the paranormal, I considered myself to be a partial empath.

This is what scares me about trying to ghost hunt. I feel pretty deeply and can pick up on emotion pretty strongly. However, I’m also used to creaky old houses, animals and pet noises, etc. so I figure a lot of these sounds investigators hear and attribute to spirits would be passed off as just an old house or a hot water system expanding and contracting with temp changes.

I’d love to hear more about your experiences. You mention before or after this reply that you got some good EVP recordings. I get with how shitty people and the internet are, not wanting to share videos, but would you share the most intriguing EVPs?

I know you Didn’t ask me, but I watch a couple YT channels that have decent content. Twin Paranormal is a fun one cause of how close-knit the three are. Midwest Ghost Hunter has some of the best EVP encounters I’ve heard. And there was another, I can’t remember the name, that had Mind something in the name, who had some crazy shit go down in places. The last group I mentioned has like three big, tatted dudes who do like UFO videos too. Those don’t interest me, though. One of the best videos from them involved a member of their group, Tanner, who was basically grabbed, tripped, and pulled like 3-6 ft on the ground, on camera, and was so shook up from it he had to go outside and didn’t really want to go back inside.

I bought a bunch of ghost hunting equipment and then my sister backed out of going ghost hunting with me. I wanna do it so bad, but not alone. Did you stop because of an experience you had or other reasons?

it feels like a lot of this could be minimized if the US fixed their electoral system

Yup, which is why they fight so hard to prevent any change to this system!

Now THIS is a recommendation! My next printer (fuck HP) will be a Brother laser printer!

Rectally, to mix things up!

You’re getting paid for doing the work of Fox News and Republican grifters, right? The only place I’ve seen or heard about anyone wanting to take guns from anyone has been from right-wing conspiracy theorists and right-wing talking heads who use that shit to scare right-wing idiots into voting against their best interests by conflating sensible gun laws with taking all guns away. You make up stats or cherry-pick from somewhere, that’s clear.

I know of no democrat voter who doesn’t own a gun nor any that don’t want them to be available. We just don’t think our school kids should need to practice active-shooter drills or invest in bulletproof backpacks to get an education because Bill here HAS to have a weapon that can cut a deer in half from a mile away. They got dumb-fucks spouting this shit off cause the more they repeat the lie the more dumb-dumbs believe them, fight a culture war instead of a class war, and buy more guns.

Republican voters with your belief will find out how many lies they swallowed if a Civil War does break out. The left may have fewer guns but I don’t know of any gun nut with more than one life.

The future is vibe coders getting jobs creating plausible, yet fundamentally broken firmware updates to OTA brick F-35 fighter jets.

Come attack us, I dare you. Jack here used his prompting skills to package some Stack Overflow RUST code into Golang binaries that another prompt converted into XHTML so another prompt could compile it into a Bash script to fix the bug in flight controls. Come within 50-nautical miles and we’ll OTA update your plane so hard you wish we fired missiles at you!

Ya know, for an AMA about Star Trek, they can have a seat on the couch for this one, too!

I doubt my skills are sufficient enough in anything I make, feel less confident in it, and more judged by others critiquing me for it. I know I don’t suck at what I’ve done so far, but I never feel good enough to share my work with the public at large.

Yup, you sound exactly like me! I think others can be put off because of the things you highlighted, which I also overuse. I’d rather come off as jovial in my writing than mean or angry. If that means I gotta use old school ASCII faces, I’ll overuse the shit out them! ;)

Thanks! The keyboard is TypeWise. It takes time to get used to but I suck at typing on any digital keyboard, so I still make plenty of mistakes with it!

For you and @Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world, if flair, in this case, is similar to tagging users in other clients, it’s a setting and feature set of clients like Voyager. You can tag users by going to their profile, selecting the three dots or whatever to get things like block user, and selecting tag. You can even change the vote total for them if you enable the setting to track vote totals for accounts.

I personally only modify the votes for accounts that I negatively tag. A super negative total is dark red and stands out!

In case you aren’t aware, there is a comment chain below the first reply to your comment that adds some light-hearted teasing to your reply. Nothing but love for our German lemmings! ❤️

We all are, lol. Text with no conveyance of emotion sure is fun and never leads to arguments, ever!

Actually, I’m starting to think that sarcasm on the internet may be the problem…🤔

Hey, are we fighting? I llllooooovvvvvvveeeeee fighting!! Oooo weee, those discuss.tchncs.de accounts are always trouble!! Gotta watch out for those guys, am I right?!

I’ve been on a few instances. Was on lemm.ee before owner-fatigue. Joined a couple since, but lemmy.zip felt closer to my old instance than any other. Super transparent admin and one of the reasons I have a monthly donation set up. Got good quality folks here, also!

But what if the code is your own and super embarrassing?

after explaining it, I figured it out myself.

I use colleagues or people on Discord for this. I get the solution immediately after asking AND those that saw me, or heard me, ask now think I’m an idiot. It’s my neurodivergent kink!
