@fun_shirt: you can’t be mad at ignorance.
Can’t I?
@Salieri: | Well it’s not someone’s fault for doing something they may not know or understand, what you can do, however, is teach them better |
@Raptor-A: When I first visited the US and first saw black people, I kept looking for a pretext to get to touch someone's afro. I'm Australian, and was just obsessed at the time, because I had never seen super curly hair before.
@TheBabiestOfBabyBoys: ...what about the digeridudes?
@Salieri: | They have wavy or straight hair |

@stonerbatman55: Dude are you like rural rural Aus? I see so many ranga afros everywhere.
@Salieri: | I am assuming they’re regional Qlders or something. This is awful and so tone deaf, I cannot believe what I’m reading here!!
Australians are not all racist idiots I swear to god, though sometimes it’s hard to tell. |
@theresabrons: My roommate from Zimbabwe said she would have crowds following her thinking she was Rhianna. She had an overall bad experience as a tourist traveling with only one friend in the rural parts because of the lack of respect for her physical boundaries.... And yeah, folks trying to rub off her melanin.
She also disliked the pissing and spitting in public right next to her table at restaurants. Unfortunately, she moved to Jersey City, so she can't really get away from THAT.
@Salieri: | love the jersey roast at the end |
@solarflare2002: Lmaoooo Eminem?? You should have put her onto some real rap
@Mozzzi3: Yeah, like macklemore /s
@solarflare2002: good one!
@Mizzick: Macklemore, CardiB, and izzy? Dafuq is wrong with y'all
@Salieri: | Yeah man, Gucci Mane and Drake are missing from the list. |
@JDeeezie: What’s the difference between ignorance and arrogance?
@TheAtomicMech: Ignorance is the lack of knowledge and information while arrogance is having or displaying an overbearing self worth or self importance.
@JDeeezie: Ahh thank you!
@Salieri: | Welcome |
@JDeeezie: What’s the difference between ignorance and arrogance?
@TheAtomicMech: Ignorance is the lack of knowledge and information while arrogance is having or displaying an overbearing self worth or self importance.
@JDeeezie: Ahh thank you!
@Salieri: | Arrogance usually also comes with ignorance too. Ignorance is usually harmless since you can just teach them but if you mix stupidity and a feeling of self importance you get people like flat earthers who can’t admit their fault |
@Bawonga: I disagree with approaching him directly, since he recognized you but didn't speak to you; he only wrote a note on your receipt -- a way of saying "I know who you are and I've always hoped to thank you but it's too embarrassing/difficult to bring it up and talk about it." Another approach: what if you visited the diner again and sat for a while lingering over coffee -- maybe if you were to say, "It's good to see you," in a non-pressuring way, HE would now initiate a conversation. If he doesn't, that's OK but you haven't pushed.
@str8b00olin: "It's good to see you," would be perfect.
@shug_was_taken: You know, just thinking about this is making me tear up a bit. Just the weight behind the statement.
@jacquetheripper: I didnt tear up until I read that you teared up.
@DeusExBlockina: I didn't tear up until I read that you teared up about them tearing up.
@Lilac_Hayers: i didnt tear up until i read that you teared up about them tearing up about them tearing up.
@ScamExaminers: I was tearing up until I read your comment about you tearing up about them tearing up about them tearing up so now I'm smiling
@BackToOnes: Y'all really making me tear up.
@SuperDogBoo: Them making you tear up about making each mother tear up is making me tear up.

@Salieri: | 10/10. I have a bunch of 70-100 year old great-great-something’s that have pretty candidly pointed out that asking someone who’s dying “how they are” isn’t what they want to hear. Just that it’s good to see them, or something similar. |

@Salieri: | I agree, if he spent years thining about dude it's not too awkward to talk about. This dude already saw him at his worse, and obviously he was doing a lot better and more happy with his life. Nothing embarrassing about rising from the ashes! But maybe odd in front of customers. |

@LynnsBarrette: That was very kind of you to not approach him on it. But as he initiated contact, I would say hello, and ask how he has been.
@PoliteCanadian2: 100% agree he seems fine with talking to you
@Salieri: | Yeah, saying hello would be nice |
@LynnsBarrette: That was very kind of you to not approach him on it. But as he initiated contact, I would say hello, and ask how he has been.
@RedditSkippy: Agree 100%!
@Salieri: | Yeah go say hello you nice person you x |
@apairofpetducks: How far away did you move? Crazy to think you might've come across each other again 500 miles away.
@CantMatchTheThatch: I moved to a different part of the city.
@Salieri: | That's still probably at lease 5.00 miles. |
@nuffsaidbro: I would leave him a note back and say how happy you are to see him again. Maybe talking to him directly could be a little too much, but a note should be okay since he initiated contact.
@Salieri: | I would go with a note as well. Him saying those words out loud may have been too emotional, I'd imagine talking about it is still hard. I would just write "you're very welcome, it's good to see you're still here" and leave my name, kind of as an invitation to initiate a conversation if he feels comfortable. |
@daniyellidaniyelli: If you didn’t want to make him uncomfortable by asking how he was you could just say “It is great to see you!” With the happiest grin possible. Because that’s true. And affirms his choices.

@IcelandicFajitas: Give your good kitty pets for me, what a touching story
@Salieri: | I take sound for granted. My cat purring is one of the nicest sounds I've ever heard. I'm glad you get to experience that now! |
@SierraMikeJuliet: My 15 yr old cat's purr is therapy for me. It's like the most intimate moment you can share with him, and it demonstrates purr love. So happy you get to experience it now dear friend.
@Salieri: | The quiet purr of a happy cat is extremely therapeutic. It’s good you have a kitty who finds happiness with you. |

@rednax1206: Luckily a ton of video games these days are including "color blind mode" options
@Salieri: | Yeah but I've played a few where the color blind mode ruins some of the other aspects of the game play. It's kinda frustrating |

@ZeldaNumber17: I’m colorblind. that shits brown
@Salieri: | So is my dad. I saw this Tshirt that I wanted to buy him, it had a color blind test on it. Inside the colorblind test it said "FUCK THE COLORBLIND", and then tell him it said "world's greatest dad" in the test. I didn't bother because he would know something was up. |

@funky555: mildly red defficient here, ehy do people put red next to green so much >:(
@Salieri: | Had a friend of mine who was red/green color blind. Hebhad a few issues a while back when he worked for a commercial networking(I think) company who'd use red spray paint to make where the lines were or needed to go, especially on the lawn. Needless to say it didn't take long for them to switch to him to a different job until they got in yellow paint. |
@ZeldaNumber17: I’m colorblind. that shits brown
@funky555: mildly red defficient here, ehy do people put red next to green so much >:(
@cherish_ireland: To normal eyes the colours are complimentary and pop well off one another. It's got to be frustrating to people who can't see it. I hadn't considered that.
@funky555: Red is litterally invisible to me next to green :/
@Salieri: | Well as a graphic designer I will keep this in mind from now on lol. I apologize for all the badly designed Christmas themed stuff out there lol. |
@TheBardIsBackAgain: While it looks closer to orange than red to me I think it’s a shame that they didn’t go full red because we are on REDdit
@theharber: Fun Fact, before we used the word "orange", we called it "Geoluread" -- pronounced 'Yellow-Red'.

@Doc_Faust: I thought this was well known; the upvote is orangered, and the downvote is periwinkle.
(team periwinkle for life)
@sandm000: I want you to know two things.
1. I’m team periwinkle
1. I thought ‘orangered’ was a made up Reddit word like the past tense of the verb to make something more orange than it was previously, as if a single upvote rendered a post orange, a second would make it oranger. And then ‘oranger’ was Reddit hq slang for updooting. And finally they would say “did you see how I orangered (orange-urd) that post?”
@Salieri: | I had the same issue the first time I saw the word infrared. "In fraird" |

@Salieri: | (mild spoilers) It's good ,but I can't seem to remember much of it, partly because it dragged on a bit. If I'd wrote it I'd have given all the characters a happy enough ending, but instead the characters are about exactly as happy as before the book, none of them live happily ever after, so to speak, so it really does do what it says on the box (and another thing, in that it tacks on something to the end of an argument that doesn't have much point now that the argument is over) |

@ThatGuy___YouKnow: I believe there was a Twilight Zone? with this theme. The guy made big plans. He was going to become a better painter then DaVinci. A better musician than Bach. A better author than Shakespeare. He had all the time in the world to hone his skills. But he mostly procrastinated and never did anything. Because he had all the time in the world.
@mariiicarooo: There is another Twilight Zone episode that I saw recently about immortality. A hypochondriac man made a deal with the devil to be immortal and invincible. He got himself hurt in all sorts of ways (like getting hit by a bus and a train) and collected the compensation money. He wanted to see if the electric chair, aka the death sentence, would do anything to his body, plus by now he was super bored with life without pain, as he was a hypochondriac before and his health was all he cared about. So he killed his wife. He wanted to be sentenced to death, but was instead sentenced to life in prison because the lawyer was good at his job. He knew his life would never end and couldn’t bear the idea of an immortal life in prison, so he got the devil to come back and thus his soul was now the devil’s.
Very interesting take on immortality. In this episode, it focused more on boredom being what broke him. Since there was no end to life, he basically had nothing to life for. I haven’t seen the episode you described but I love the Twilight Zone and probably will someday!
@scv1223: That is my favorite episode!

@Salieri: | Another core problem with the idea of completing all your hobbies and aspirations is that humans hate failure. Id love to master dovetail joints, for instance, but I haven't because I don't feel like powering through hours to years of failure first. I could do that for a few things in life, but only the things that REALLY call out to me. Long term, I bet that problem would only be amplified, especially because you can always get started tomorrow anyway. |
@Luis_Santeliz: I would try to research "The cure of death" and maybe i wont be the only inmortal here.
@Leckne: Death is not a disease. It is your body not recreating itself as effectively over time.
So perhaps you could make yourself live longer but that does not mean you can't get hit by a car and survive when you walked out the lab with your solution to aging.
@hussiesucks: Yeah but since you’re already immortal that means that there has to be some scientific way of recreating that.
@sellieba: Does there? It could be magic. It's a thought experiment about an impossibility.
@_ChestHair_: If it's documentable and repeatable, "magic" could easily be turned into a new field of science
@WiskTanFox: Well yes but actually no, magic and science are the same thing, magic is just a way to explain science you don’t understand
@LorddFarsquaad: Well considering magic doesn't exist you have no way of knowing that

@Archivist_of_Lewds: No one actually die of "old age". And a growing amount of research is point to exactly that, that if you can cure all the other diseases and break downs you cure death.
@Salieri: | Yes,the body gives out. Others die of cancers, which still is generally a result of being older and less cells reproducing.
Surviving lethal injuries have no "fixes" or cures. |

@Umutuku: Eventually, the immortals will drift together towards their collective center of gravity creating a slowly growing planet of immortals.
Immortals lost to apathy will sink to the core of Immorta while the most sane/stubborn/crtubborn/crazy/powerful will eke out an existence, struggling to stay on top of the writhing surface of immortals who seek to drag them down and supplant their position of freedom, and striking a balance between eons of wisdom and a distinct lack of resources that aren't byproducts of the other immortals beneath them.
This is now the setting for your next DnD time travel adventure. The land of Immorta has no external light source and no natural resources or features in the traditional sense. It is a roiling world of darkness spotted by small regions where powerful immortals have managed to control those beneath them and tap them for various sources of energy and materials. Some may use alchemy to produce new materials from the secretions of their subordinates. Others may bend all nearby to their will and use them directly as surfaces, structures, fixtures, and appliances. All surfaces not modified by a powerful immortal are active living bodies and are therefore considered difficult terrain.
@Salieri: | No, that won't necessarily happen, if they're at escape velocity to each other (which is absurdly likely, considering how far away they are from each other). |

Others may bend all nearby to their will and use them directly as surfaces, structures, fixtures, and appliances. All surfaces not modified by a powerful immortal are active living bodies and are therefore considered difficult terrain.
@Salieri: | so a planet of immortal beings all pressed together.
eventually, I assume they will melt together, and become a living planet with a single consciousness. we will call it "Ego". |
@sleepy-all-the-time: Who is to say I’m the only one who is immortal? 7 billion on this planet. No telling how many people (species) are on other planets. And I’m the only one who is immortal? I call b.s.
@Shadesbane43: Girl what you sayin? That all of the (immortal) life in the universe happens to be where you stand?
@sleepy-all-the-time: They’re saying that at the end whoever is immortal will be all alone floating around in cold space. What if someone else is immortal and we didn’t know till then. The immortal person wouldn’t be alone after all.
@KnowanUKnow: And what if there is someone else who is immortal, and in the deep dark emptiness of the end of time you find each other. Two beings, alone amongst the entire universe, and the other person is an absolute prick.
@Salieri: | On a long enough timeline, the non-prick rate for everyone drops to zero. |

@Salieri: | You also can’t move or communicate at the end because you’ll be frozen solid if you survive the heat death of the universe. Never really thought about immortality violating universal entropy... |

@Heather_ME: I've never really been convinced by this argument because humans are terrible at conceiving time as well as their own mortality. I don't see how they'd be any different if immortality were involved. Seems to me the routines of life would seem no different than they do now. Life already feels infinite given the way our brains work.
@Salieri: | I dunno man I literally get hair tearing out scared of death sometimes, it properly scares me. Mostly because of the eternal aspect of it and that it's a really long time being dead once you pass through that door.
The only comfort I've conjured up is that "even immortals crave death eventually" because of all the things stated in op's post.
We certainly do have a hard time conceiving time but also if thrust into immortality, any person could become so insane due to us as a species only having a good 80 years or so. Forever can be really boring, and lonely. |

@g4_: Yeah but after time and time again of losing your best friend, spouse, whatever they are to you
I know that I don't think I will be able to even handle losing her once.
@Salieri: | On the flip side with practically infinite time there are many things to do.
I would probably read all the books, there are enough books that can entertain you for at least 100+ years. If I am done with that, over 300 hours of YouTube videos are uploaded a minute, so even if only 20% is that is actual quality content that still a beautiful 3600:1 ratio of minutes of video to minutes of time in real world. You would practically never run out of things to watch.
Even for inter personal relationships, while it sucks that I will have to watch many friends leave the living... I feel like that it isn’t that different from my current feeling that there are friends that were the most important in my life 6 years ago and our relationship has been completed cut for years now. So it might not be as bad as one would think. |
@reallysadgay: Can someone write a book series about this please?
@Salieri: | It’s called Dracula. |
@supersonic4420: Just do what the ultimate life form did in JoJo shut down your mind
@Salieri: | Eventually Kars just stopped thinking |
@Omac18: Problems I see with every argument
1. "You'll have to watch everyone you love die." I'm going to do that anyway.
2. "You'll be alone." How? If immortality is possible all I have to do is replicate it, and if it is possible then it's likely happened before. Am I truly the only immortal being in all of existance?
3. "You'll float in space forever." Sure, I might. The more likelihood is eventually I'd find my way to another planet. Even if painfully slow. The smart thing to do would be to build a house in space. Keep all my stuff and journals there. Or find a new planet. If I'm the only immortal in all of existance then aliens might find me fascinating.
4. "You'll slowly forget things over time." Journals are a thing. Plus again, I'm going to (and already have) do that anyways.
5. "You'll still be there in the dark forever and ever." For all we know death is the exact same thing. And eventually my mind would crack and I would go into a coma like state. Just lost in my memories of what used to be.
I'd still want to be immortal.
@exteus: Sure, I might. The more likelihood is eventually I'd find my way to another planet. Even if painfully slow.
Painfully slow being billions of years. One couldn't even imagine what that would do to a human mind.
@Salieri: | Yeah, you would be a husk of nothing by the time you crash on a planet. Probably wouldn't even understand where you are anymore |

@Pearlspring63: journals would be impractical, and technology is fragile over time. you would still be conscious, at least partially, because you cannot shut down. replication is only a possibility. this whole idea will always be a contentious theory, at least until proven or disproven
@Salieri: | Maybe you wouldnt need journals. If you found the theory of everything, then you'd just need those first principals, which would be obvious to immortal you.
With that much knowledge available, you'd be uber Macgyver. |
@middayfirework: I’m more interested in you telling us what you find by yourself exploring YouTube , maybe trying different genres of music and how they impact you.
If I could make a suggestion it would be to keep your listening broad .
@Lazylizardleech: For now, I'm overwhelmed with emotions. Every time I played a clip on YouTube, it's like I tasted a new juice or a dish I had never eaten before. Most of them didn't give me any feeling except the confused feeling but whenever I listened to Michael Jackson songs, I got goosebumps (and sometimes I get scared) and I felt like my eyes could see more clearly. I will definitely keep you guys updated.
@Wintertrap9713: Listen to Jesus Christ by brand new
@FrigNpickles: One of my favorite songs and I was very surprised to see this comment.
