"Like reddit but not owned by a single company" is how I've put it.

ASMR just kinda means "pleasant tingling", and videos with asmr in the title tend to just be "neutral stimuli that I hope will make you tingle pleasantly." Mostly they're indistinguishable from "oddly satisfying" videos with the addition of, like, sensual whispers, or something?

I wouldn't be too surprised either way if metal melting in a forge wound up in either collection of asmr or oddly satisfying.

It is weird the feds admit UAPs are real now.

No it isn't. While it's as easy as ever to fake it, the ease of sharing evidence these days makes denying that "weird stuff sometimes happens" much harder than it used to be, and it is such an obvious claim that denying it doesn't serve much purpose.

but what we do know is that there does appear to be something strange in the neighborhood.

Usually, when it happens often enough that we can actually investigate rather than just saying "this one time weird fluke in our cameras was weird," it turns out to be "the atmosphere is bendier than most people think" or "wow, what weird things your shadow can do sometimes."

I'm totally with you and I get it, and the previous commenter could have written in a kinder tone, but

imaginary friends are a mental health disorder in anyone claiming they are real.

I don't think therapists usually encourage their patients to claim they actually got the advice from Einstein or Darth Vader or whomever. And I can give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they meant "adults" rather than "humans" when they said people.

Umm, I'm Spider-Man agnostic, actually. There's still time for 2099 to prove canonical.

Right? Imagine telling someone claiming to be a Christian that "actually, Christian implies you believe (specific idea about Jesus my church goes for and yours doesn't)."

That'd be a good way to get bloodied in a lot of places

This one right here. I mean people know that I am pretty left-leaning or whatever, but if my dad found out that I think socialism is actually a good idea, I think he'd react worse than when he found out I was trans.

I feel like homestuck, at least, is hard to disentangle from its fandom just because of the level of outsourcing the author did.

There are terrible people everywhere, they don't need religion to make them that way. What really gets me is religions like WBC that do make all of their people over that terrible stereotype.
