Your concept of human being is questionable.

The few times I tried, speaking with the involved persons about it helped. But those were lucky moments.

What do they believe in? What is the context of this?

I have mixed feelings about rage bait. Sure it is funny for folks, who are not as mind twisted. But is this worth it, considering the harm done by affirming hateful opinions? Most of the “victims” will probably never find out they have been hoaxed (by the rage baiters).

Oh I accidentally implicated I could benefit from projecting. I actually meant, I could benefit from understanding projection better, because I wondered how I might be projecting myself.

Thanks for your explanation. I comprehend it better now.

Can you explain projection in this context? I feel like I could benefit from the concept, once I understand it better.

Sounds lovely, thanks for the insights!

What is it like to live with her? Is she crawling around freely in your apartment? Does she bite? How did she feel about being covered up in vegan butter?

Thank you for donating organs! Not to the snake (right?), I just recognize the card in the background.

…if Lemmy had users in the Millions I think it would be much better.

At least until a certain threshold is reached. I think part of Lemmy’s charm comes from it being a small community. Though maybe this can be sustained by having more active sublemmys forming smaller groups again.

I love how you can always expect elaborate answers to your questions here. Also there seem to be less trolls and unfriendly comments in general. Pleasant culture.

People seem to use this term unconsciously, so they do not have to change anything. Because what is the problem about being an introvert? The power of language is marvelous.

I don’t see why robots would make our life better, minor improvements comparable to the invention of dishwashers aside. Sure, in theory, they could do work, so we don’t have to. But we have seen in the past that productivity gains do not result in less work for us. The problems lie in the way we structured our society and this will not magically change just because we have robots.

Thank you for elaborating!

What are the advantages?

Good idea. I wonder though, if children can keep up the motivation. I do not want to bash the youth in a “everything was better in the old days” manner. It’s just that games nowadays are way more attention seeking. Flashy animations, sound, level design, etc, all specifically made to keep you going.

Edit: Spelling.

Which kind of scientist would you send?

Those claws look deadly. I could never have a cat. I fear them.

I like the idea in Buddhism, that you are precious/valuable from the moment you are born. You already achieved plenty in your past life, which is why you were born as a human. Therefore, there is no need for self-hatred or for pressure to perform.

The older I get the less I am able to make use of the concept of punishment or even (lasting) guilt. I mean what is even the point of punishing? It just adds more misery on top.

Don’t get me wrong: It is necessary to reflect on the bad things one did. But I do not feel like guilt and shame create an environment that promotes this behaviour.
