Isn't that technically that you're afraid of the dark?

    I guess sort of, but I think of it as being afraid of the darkness itself, or the things that might (or might not be) out there when it gets dark. Like they’re totally connected but still two separate fears, you know?

    I currently have a setup where both AMD and Nvidia simultaneously run on a single computer with Linux. It wasn't too complicated, only took like 10hrs of troubleshooting to run.

    It's a race to the bed, as everybody knows monsters can't invade your bed, that's why so many of them live under it

    I...still cannot wrap my head around the fear of death. If you're dead, that's it, done, your warranty is void and all that. What to fear?

    I fear consequences of my death - shit people close to me will be put through. But death itself? It's like fearing time. Shit's just there, always was, always will be, touches all of us and nobody can do shit bout it.

    there’s a saying in spanish, it’s not the same to call the lion than seeing it coming.

    I’ll believe a stage 4 cancer survivor if they say that they don’t fear death, the rest, no so much.

    I walk slowly to my room in the dark to assert dominance

    "Alexa, all lights off."

    Now, talk to me about going up the stairs from the basement alone...

    Everyone knows that's how the evil clown, ghost, or whatever basement demon living in your house gets you...

    Grabs your ankles ands pulls you right back down...

    How is the dark the least scary? In the dark, there may be a serial killer shark that looks like a clown

    I don't think serial killers are scarier than sharks. I can see myself surviving an encounter with a serial killer. I cannot see myself surviving an encounter with a goddamn shark.

    Sure you can.

    • Look under the water.
    • oh shit a shark.
    • shark don't give a fuck bout no human, keeps on swimmin.
    • you survived.

    You could also survive a serial killer in a similar way.

    "Here's your latte, Sir."

    But also, you could take a small shark.

    Death is only scary in hindsight, when it finally embraces you you wont want to cling on to whatever this is.

    This is a spiritual interpretations and should be understood in an agnostic context.
