I thought this was going to be about the glare of a white background.
I've had this too, elsewhere.
Viciously attacked as if a genocide denialist, for recounting my own story of surviving genocide.
... Like someone wants a monopoly on claim of genocide, like there's only one.

Me. 2004.
A reminder: You have retained all your skills and memory.
I realised I had a problem.
double new lines in lemmy seems the way.
is what I've figured out so far.
... That.... I had not considered. That would be very weird. ... I'm starting to understand the compulsion to eat a nickel.
... I was breast fed. I appreciate that. Do I want to relive that with all my skills and knowledge from adulthood intact....? O_O The horror.
having all the skills, memory and mind of a fully mature person trapped in the body of a baby
Trapped?
I'd not be able to contain myself, and would speak, and ambulate, immediately... wowing people to such a spectacle... a talking dancing baby, who can espouse advanced philosophical notions, challenge people to reflect on their epistemology, and even warn of crooked ploys put upon the world. ... Oh dear... I did not want to become a religious icon.
I'm presuming the baby continues to grow up normally, and is not an eternal baby-body prison... and that "all the skills" includes psyche-motor skills. ... And best of both worlds, able to learn like a baby too, vividly retaining near everything, contrast to old-man brain (where decades of toxin accumulation and stress have impaired neurogenesis and learning capacity).
I think because of the idiomatic
What would you do with a second chance?
Did that already in my first time around, with my highschool crush, when we were in college together. A premature "I love you" bomb. 2nd chance, if getting to that same point, I'd have heeded that little voice in me warning "don't say it, not yet, you'll ruin it". Or at the very least, not wimp out after, and instead continue to pursue her.
As a talking baby, sure to garner a few followers.
Midnight Anakin: I have implemented age verification, on April 1st, 2026.
For April fools day?
For April fools, right?
Over 20 years ago, patent office whistle blower Tom Valone already disclosed that by the year 2000 there had already been over 3000 free energy device patents, secreted.
Disclosure? That's your political aspiration and protest?
Lets aim a little higher.
Lets avail and provision everybody with the best.
Star Trek replicators, interstellar travel, and more.
Free energy tech + energy-to-matter transfer tech = they can print gold from nothing.
No cull necessary. No resource wars necessary. No mineral mining necessary. No combustion necessary. We never needed rockets.
Follow the tech arc from Michael Faraday through to Nikola Tesla (and the many less loud and showy between)...
Spaceships for everybody.
I love these three socialist lemmies. So I'm posting this here. Not sure how well or how mixed a reception this will get here. Not sure if the right place to post it. Plausibly shall step on some toes (with the bottommost instance of "not my left") a bit. And I imagine there may be some responses nitpicking that 3 of the "not my left"s are more left than "my left" ~ to which I say, misses the point. Anyhoo... enjoy, or don't. I strive to protect your freedom to receive things however you wish. Love that bitch called interpretation. ;D But I do hope it sparks some interesting thought, discussion, and maybe even is a useful tool. At the very least, it'll help (a bit) to explain what I mean when I keep saying "not my left", to those who misrepresent the authoritarian left as "the left", or even really really misrepresent by calling the nowadays so-called "liberal" (left side of authoritarian right) as "the left".
Is this a faithful recreation of the version of Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement with 2 additional bottom levels?
Reminds of when I worked in advertising, "just doing my job" ["to the best of my abilities for my client"], until Bill Hicks saved me by telling me... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHEOGrkhDp0
