Sometimes cats get confused and think they're dogs. Try playing catch with it.

As a said, Roberts is stupid. :peepoShrug:
There have been all sorts of rumors. At some point I heard that there were out of money to pay everyone, while Roberts and his wife still had massive salaries.
I stopped caring at a point and stopped following the story cause it was too much of a clusterfuck.

@icedquinn
Just because someone is even stupider, doesn't make you a genius. Roberts IS stupid. Him having brain dead simps doesn't change that.

@meowski @orekix @theblessing @stevejail
Yes to both.
I had plenty of dreams where I woke up from a different dream, and was 100% convinced I was completely awake and IRL.

Also had a few episodes of sleep paralysis, usually with nightmares, so not so fun. I even had one where I thought there was an alien in my room.

@theblessing @stevejail @orekix
I don't remember waking up that fast upon realizing I'm dreaming, but in the early days... well, it's hard to describe, but the dream changes to where it doesn't feel like a dream that much, and it feels more like I'm just continuing to imagine what I was previously dreaming. But it simply isn't as vivid, and far less interesting. Maybe because you realize it's not real, you reject it unconsciously and this has the undesired effect of killing the dream, either by means of waking up like you do, or how I used to experience it. Took me a while to learn to moderate this strong effect.

I've stopped trying it when I realized they're less fun/interesting then when I don't try to steer them.

What I remember working for me was when I was going to bed to concentrate on the fact that I need to pay attention to the dream and realize that I'm dreaming. It took a few tries, but eventually it worked, and I was able to lightly control the dream.

I haven't done this intentionally in forever, but from time to time I'll still figure out that I'm dreaming and I still manage to gently push the dream in certain ways. Oh, and lately I'm able to more easily come out of a nightmare. I kinda basically reject the dream and say "no, fuck this, I'm waking up".

>Why Master Chief is badass
He was genetically engineered from birth to be the pinnacle of mankind. Given the best training and the best equipment, he goes against the odds to fight for the survival of mankind.

>Why Doom Guy is badass
He's not a mere human, he's a force of nature, stuck in an eternal battle against the unending forces of hell itself. And he's winning.

>Why Prophet is badass
Through sheer willpower alone, he uploads his own consciousness into the nanosuit, merging with it's AI, and attaining life after death, all the while battling an alien force that humanity can barely comprehend.

>Why Gordon Freeman is badass
He was not forged for combat. He has no special training. In fact, he's just your average theoretical physicist, and his equipment is quite standard for the work he's doing. But when his life is on the line, he rises to the occasion, and if necessary, he will destroy a tank with just his lucky crowbar.

Only because you tell them they're lab grown. Tell them instead they sat in the ground for millions of years, only to be discovered in some remote area in Africa, and look how they'll swoon.

It's not the diamond that solicits emotions, it's the story you attach to the diamond.

@Lox @Terry
Depends how far on the "porn bad" spectrum you're going. Are we talking about the fundamentalist Christian, "Satan is gonna rape you for watching porn" right wingers? Or just the more generic conservative (like Crowder)?
