Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

All of What a Fool Believes
He came from somewhere back in her long ago,
The sentimental fool don't see-
Tryin' hard to recreate,
What had yet to be created. Once in her life
She musters a smile,
For his nostalgic tale.
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize:
It never really was.
She~ had a place in his life,
He~ never made her think twice...
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes~, he sees~
No-wise-man-has-the-power(!) to reason away, [if love can come, and love can go-]
What seems~ to be~ [-why can't love return, oh no]
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all~... keeps sending him...
Somewhere back in her long ago.
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life,
Someday, somewhere... she will return.
She~ had a place in his life,
He~ never made her think twice...
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go....
But what a fool believes~, he sees~
No-wise-man-has-the-power(!) to reason away, [I believe she's never gone away]
What seems~ to be~ [no, nah nah]
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all~... keeps sending him...
