That’s the great thing about fake tweets from Ben. They all still feel like they could be real.

MajesticSloth@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something small that you do that confuses other people whenever they see you doing it?8·1 year agoWhen people often text me or call to make sure plans are still on, it has the weird effect of making me no longer want to go. I’m introverted, but if I make plans I will be there. So it sort of opens the door for me to cancel for some reason.

MajesticSloth@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•GTA 5 Actor Ned Luke Calls Out 'Bulls**t' AI Chatbot That Uses His VoiceEnglish41·1 year agoI see ads all the time now using various famous actors voices for spamming scammer crap. If someone didn’t know better they would absolutely think these actors were shilling the stuff.
MajesticSloth@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?4·1 year agoI’ve since learned it is a fairly common one. But we got a lot of laughs out of it with him. Just out of the blue when he’d come to his desk someone would break out singing it.
MajesticSloth@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?35·1 year agoNot me personally, but I worked with a guy that always thought Secret Agent Man was Secret Asian Man.
MajesticSloth@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the piece of media so emotionally overwhelming you just stopped it?231·1 year agoHellblade Senua’s Sacrifice. Played it with headphones as many suggested. I had recently lost my uncle, who by the time he died, was in a pretty bad state mentally. Seeing and hearing things that weren’t there. Everyone out to get him. Calling to say the cops were trying to break into his home. No one was there.
He was a good guy and incredibly funny. Introduced me to the greatness of Monty Python at a young age. He was getting some better help near the end, finally. In part because he finally was accepting help.
He was a Vietnam vet, and from what everyone told me came back changed like so many did. This, in part, led to drug use that spiraled him down. Much better handled than some as he always held a job and such.
But the game made me think of what he might have been experiencing, and it was overwhelming for me. I think I stopped a third of the way through. It is very well done, but I just couldn’t deal with it.
I did, and it is.
MajesticSloth@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?4·2 years agoHe himself admitted he was an abuser of people in his life. Both male and female. Sure, people see that as him atoning for those past abuses. But it is clear he wasn’t this nice person people think of when they think of his anti-war and peace stance in life.
I have MS, and one of my minor symptoms is I sometimes get a feeling on the bottom of my foot being wet (temp change basically), giving me a wet sock feel. Fuck that symptom.
MajesticSloth@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•ByteDance is secretly using OpenAI’s tech to build a competitorEnglish6·2 years agoTo be fair, I’m sure I’ll forget about this in less than an hour. Secret will be safe with me.
I loved it, and I’ve watched it several times. I just enjoy fun popcorn action movies these days, though, so I tend to be more a fan of this type of movie than most. I loved the cast and the chemistry they had and wanted to see a sequel.
Fuddy-duddy.
(You said I could)
MajesticSloth@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Pro-Russia Ukrainian MP Illia Kyva shot dead in Moscow suburbEnglish10·2 years agoI believe that is the one that his car was targeted, but she happened to be in it at the time when he was expected to be.
MajesticSloth@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some strange and interesting websites you have found?2·2 years agoThat is it.
Though a quick look, looks like his actual details that I read are scrubbed. Will check further though.
I remember there being separate sections or possible a link to other stuff. Been awhile, so hard to remember. Not even sure how I stumbled upon it anymore. Must have been in a true crime reddit thread.
Wondering if whoever maintains it took down his actual writings.
MajesticSloth@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some strange and interesting websites you have found?6·2 years agoOne night, I stumbled on a website posting the thoughts and words of Joseph Duncan, who killed a family in northern Idaho. As well as others in other states. He was on death row and wasn’t allowed internet access, but he was getting his words out there, and someone was posting for him.
He went into many details of what led to those Idaho murders. Things that were never mentioned in the press. How he came to be there and very intimate details of that night and things that happened after. It was not easy to read, but I had this weird sense of obligation to continue once I started. Like I would be doing the family a disservice if I didn’t read what they had gone through that night. Sounds weird, I know. There are certain scenes of it that I’ll never get out of my head.
When he was caught with the lone survivor, he had kidnapped (kidnapped two but killed the boy not long after), I was just down the street at a different restaurant. I had just moved to the area when the murders happened.
He also went into detail about him taking and killing a boy in southern California, which was near where I grew up.
I don’t remember the website name, and I imagine it is gone now since he died of cancer in 2020.
This was an excerpt about it I grabbed from elsewhere.
