    If I had a dollar for every time I saw this particular meme in the fediverse of all places, I’d have enough to be able to live the dream.

      Yeah whatever new technique they are trying is working well so there’s no need for me to get involved.

    Just FYI before waking up - it may be even worse in that reality if this is your brain’s fantasy escape from that hellscape.

    So you know, maybe staying in the coma isn’t so bad.

        Honestly yea that’s something I never understood in matrix. Like just give me superpowers in the simulation and I’ll gladly go sit in a pod for the rest of my life

      Well, we’ll all see what if anything is beyond death. Always found it neat that one of life’s greatest mysteries will be uncovered to each and every one of us. It also means there’s zero reason to rush. We’ll get there eventually.

        It also need not be the same for each person.

        Our universe has a funky property where what’s unobservable can be more than one thing at once, and as of a few years ago it was discovered that separated eventual observers of something in that state can each measure conflicting results.

        So the journey that each of us have past the grave may well be uniquely our own.

          I like to think we move up a dimension. Maybe we already came from lower dimensions, but it’s hard to imagine existing in physical space with less than these 3. Maybe next go-around we get to observe things just as easily in the 4th as we do now in the 3rd.

    I’ve been asleep since January 1, 2013. The world has basically turned into a hellhole since that day, but apparently only I got to experience the hellscape since then (some people never felt it until Covid came or something).

      Nah, gotta be at least 2017 when Trump actually won.

      But 2013 was at least half good for me. I got my cat in the middle of that year and he’s great. I’m not tryna actually diagnose myself, but I feel like I had something like a depressive episode for a couple years around 2015 because of work issues and that cat just helped me out. I will never know what that really was, but that’s the closest vocabulary I have to guesstimate it with.

      For those with actual diagnosed depression, I probably don’t know what that is like, but I feel like I can at least understand it.

      I’m past all that now, it only lasted a couple years. But that cat was definitely there for me. Still is. I love that bastard.
