Most people want to see themselves as having overcome some sort of adversity to earn whatever they have in life, and that creates a bias to see one’s own life as unlucky and miserable. I definitely went through a phase of seeing my life this way as a kid.
This is your own bias speaking, you assume most people are just like you and that your own personal experience is universal.
I sit in the corner by myself on break and when assholes ask me why I respond with ‘it’s my break’.
We just call it wooster
I fucking wish. Why would they come though? We demonstrably suck. Project cats to the universe and maybe we can attract some nice folks.
I don’t know but if the Malazan guys could get to work on that it’d be awesome
They are trolls. They are not speaking in good faith. Is it true that people in your country can just change it as they like? The short response is fuck off.
A stranger cuts off your arm. Choose to have a positive attitude to that. Get therapy. Decide it was really for the best after all. Enjoy your delusions. Is it a really a choice? Or is deluding yourself the only way you can live with it? I’m starting to think it all boils down to ‘suppress all negative feelings and tell yourself everything is fine’.
About 220 users and a ton of communities, 2 instances. Mostly for posting nsfw shit (i have that turned off so it shouldn’t appear), being outrageously stupid or bigoted and sports/anime. No regrets, not bashful about it. Different opinions are fine but I don’t have time for the stupid and hateful kind.
I’m duly impressed that it lasts that long and at that rate the screen may be justified.
I have rechargeable vapes. I have never seen one with a screen and I am already annoyed by the the lights that they all have. I stopped using the one that vibrated because why the fuck would I want that? I just need a cheap nicotine delivery system and putting a screen on it is peak pointless tech imo.
Are ‘don’t walk on the grass’ signs speciesist? I feel like it’s unfair that the other animals are allowed and i’m not.
The Oubliette reminds you that the web does not forget…
Yes, but the battery has a purpose, the screen is wholly unnecessary.
Why would a vape have a screen, that’s insane waste
This but without the ADHD to blame it on.
I googled that
Did you mean: xiuhcoatl
Is this fire serpent/ weapon of the sun an Aztec dragon?
The instance structure conveniently groups people together and labels them. Stereotyping, bias and tribalism are the natural result.
Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort people experience when holding conflicting cognitions. It is a signal that our thinking doesn’t make sense and we need to change something to make that feeling go away. It is not hypocrisy or having contradictory thoughts. It’s a feeling we all experience. IMO exploring our cognitive dissonance is a useful way to better critical thinking. The people you are talking about are probably not experiencing cognitive dissonance as they have long since rationlised it away.
