Just read a synopsis of the latter two books of the Hyperion Cantos. It's exactly the lunacy I remembered.
a bunch of time travel to justify cyclical events and the revelation that there is a universal force, some kind of quantum level force, and it's LOVE! and it lets you teleport and feel more empathy and fight robot technology and Jesus had it in the past and it's activated by a virus in the messiah's blood, which Messiah is the empathic component of a future god entity formed by an ascended human civilization and dwelling within and mastering that force, and opposed to the godlike machine intelligence of the AI civilization, and they have been fighting throughout time for eternity
That is just a mess
Most of that was just in Hyperion I think? Not the bit with the virus, but everything about robot John Keats Jesus vs the evil AI and EMPATHY and Time Travel and uh I don't know the cosmology was dumb, but I don't necessarily require cosmology to be good if the rest of the book is somehow redeeming (which it isn't quite).
No, the first book had some of it, but the explicit explanation that Jesus had magic love powers because he is a time traveling god fragment from the future apotheosis of Man was only in later books, as were the bizarre blood cult that spread those powers and the really nutso time loops that made every character ACTUALLY ANOTHER PREVIOUS CHARACTER
The Hyperion books were fine. Great even.
It was Endymion that went a bit too into left field.
That whole series is delicious and everyone should cram it into their face-holes.

My girlfriend wants a secular wedding, but I want a Jewish one so I can smash on some glass and I can dance without even having to leave my chair.
The chair thing happens at the party so you don't need a specifically jewish wedding for it.
It's sort of scary though! Especially if all your friends are weedy nerds who look like they might drop you.
...I do recommend having a Jewish wedding if that's an option because they are very short, probably cheaper than renting some venue, also you do not have to write your own vows or arrange a lot of ceremonial logistics or anything.

there is no way this track is not scoring a movie montage where a young and naiive sci fi hacker karate kid chosen one trains to defeat a great evil that he is destined to meet for the fate of humanity

is it not normal to listen to the same song on repeat for hours
everyone here has some sort of unstudied quasi autism
so yeah
it is very normal for us
My brain operates exactly like the brain of a normal person. I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm definitely not neurotypical, but I don't think I'm anywhere on the autism spectrum. Might be better off if I were closer to it; if anything, I think that overly acute social sensitivity, leading to social anxiety, may be more my problem.

There is a theory that I am making up as I type that when a human brain is near death, it creates a sort of "simulation" for the senses to enjoy, based largely off familiar / pleasant experiences, to protect itself from the horrors of the dying process.

When one Subaru ad man … proposed the gay-targeting ads in talks with Japanese executives, the executives hurriedly looked up “gay” in their dictionaries. Upon reading the definition, they nodded at the idea enthusiastically. Who wouldn’t want happy or joyous advertising?
several stories from my sheltered homeschool life
at one point I dressed up like "a hippie" for a homeschool thing? I dont remember what it was. Some group history lesson thing. anyway, I had kinda longer hair and tied it up with a rainbow bandanna. I thought it looked cool so I wore it to my conservative church after I took the rest of the costume off and people flipped out and I didn't understand because i didnt know that rainbow=gay
around the same time I bought a pin from the first hot topic to open in south carolina that said "I don't even think straight!" which I thought was a hilarious way to say that I was zany and random and i didnt realize it was a gay thing for a bit
i also had almost that exact same "why is it bad to be happy?" back and forth with a friend when he tried to explain what "being gay" meant

My girlfriend wants a secular wedding, but I want a Jewish one so I can smash on some glass and I can dance without even having to leave my chair.
I've mentioned that I don't want a big ceremony before and was told that a big reception is necessary because weddings are excuses to get everyone to give you gifts
also real talk the fact that the church i went to became super hateful and anti-gay and just terribly stereotypical of an ignorant southern church is one of the main reasons i left the faith

That's bullshit no way you get enough gifts to cover the costs of the wedding.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
