This for some reason reminds me of when my friend in elementary had a thorn in their finger and their genious idea was, and I'm not even joking (somehow), "if my finger is hurting, wouldn't removing the finger also remove the hurting since in order for my finger to hurt, I need a finger", which while true, they not only failed to see how that the long term not-having-a-finger may not be a good trade off for the short term lack of hurt, but also the fact that removing a finger ALSO HURTS and a lot more at that!!!
(they were stopped from acting on the brilliant idea ofc)
And yes, that is one of my still closest friends, and yes, they are the factually smartest person I know including my former college professors...
"I am telling you, I saw Kojima in my town's coffee shop ride the rising gear of metal in the fountain!"
However, I'm a hyperphantasiac to the extreme where I hardly distinguish between being present in my dreams and reality.
I told you the truth, I did see that, but the fact of whether that happened is not there.
Iunno tho, I'm taking a wild guess of what they could've meant, this logic seems most sound for that statement to be sensical
Shout out to all my serbian ex-chuds, whom were coping that we're also (geographically) europe, that after hearing the temperatures EU citizens are complaining about finally decided to stop coping.
Context: 40 degrees has been the very normal overall average for us for years, not foreign to much higher either
(some people tell us of the legend of when they once saw 36 in summer during the day and in the city (only those whom have also seen it themselves believe them))
To add to this for those who may be reading it like it's only technically related: "we all lift together".
We all live in the same world and any positive contribution to anything will ultimately contribute positively to other things, the domino effect; perhaps even the thing you wish you could contribute to directly but "can't".
People who care, who try, who persist despite the pain and hardship, who try to do their best, who learn and improve and find that kind of lifestyle fitting for them - are those who contribute to all they're aware of as well as not.
By opening a bread factory, bread in your area gets cheaper > more supply > your area imports less > some other country with an open source contributor exports less > that country has more supply > it's cheaper for that developer to buy bread
A silly made up example that may not exactly be right itself with the too many factors accounted for, but you get the point. Indirect contribution is contribution as well. This applies to all kinds of contribution, which is why a someone with good intentions that improves themselves in whatever way is a contributor as well.
What my point is, and of the original comment (if I'm not mistaken) is that doing your best truly and genuinely is enough. Not in a condescending "sure lil bro, ig that counts too" way, but in the way of the lyric I really love quoting with which I started my comment "we all lift together" (banger song from a banger game btw)
Sir, I have no clue what you're talking about hahaha
I more so gave a situation a close person to me genuinelly was in as a child, I wasn't referrencing anything in particular
I mean, yeah, phantom pain is a thing, but a 7yo me didn't know that tbf :P
What if one's parents are POSes and one had to mature independently from their influence, or simpler, if one has no parents?
As a someone with ASD: hey! (true tho)

I mean, it gives the same sourness function...
No, it's just somewhat of a struggle to distinguish reality from dream from how exactly the same I experience them :(
Just trying to argue that technically, truth and fact don't need to neccessarily match depending on the subjective experience of the person telling it
Is it uncommon to to ride gears of metal that are rising tho?
In the hypothetical, it is the truth, just not of the shared reality (am I schizoposting with this one btw?)

Serbian: It's pouring like from a hose/cable
(we say "cable", but since the word is from a pre electricity age, hose is the actual meaning of)
(not very creative, I know, but keep in mind, hoses were for fancy rich people here at some point)
Do you guys accept recruits? I'd also like to know! :'3
