From Europe, never had a slimy coating on my eggs.

Also, if you want to discuss the nuances of some niche philosophical topic, I’m absolutely sure you can do that here. You just have to start the discussion and not wait for something to come your way.

I’m trying to grow as a person and figure things out about the world.

I’m not interested in talking about people, and for the most part, I’m not interested in talking about events either.

You do know the world mostly consists of people and events? And that you yourself are mostly affected by people and events?

Growing as a person as well as figure things out about the world is basically exactly what’s happening when you talk about people or events.

Philosophy is actually barely useful for both (in a direct sense, of course it’s really useful to find the best reasons for doing it in the first place). More for growing as a person than figuring out the world.

It’s actually pretty simple (but not easy at all)… You start actually believing that other people can’t hurt you. That is pretty much all there is to it. (Not quite, will explain later).

You simply don’t give that power to people. I love my spouse. But my spouse cheats on me. Now I could be hurt by the betrayal… But why? What is the benefit for me? I don’t need to feel hurt to know that my spouse is not worth keeping around, to be my spouse anymore.

If other people do something bad to me, that is not on me, it’s their problem. They’re evil/unaware/selfish. It’s no reflection on the quality of person I am. Thus when someone does something bad to me, it’s honestly just good to know. I can decide how bad I think it is and react accordingly. But feeling hurt by it is not really required in that process.

As I said at the beginning, “not quite”, there are a whole bunch of other beliefs attached to/required by this. For example, I believe that everything is temporary, or at least that the chance of something permanent (really, temporary until end of life) being low. I don’t expect to be together with my spouse to the end of time - if it happens though, I have nothing against it. I believe that change is fine, and I look forward to it: If my spouse cheats on me, I can experience no partner for a while or forever, or experience looking for a new one, both things are fine with me. And so on. Basically all my beliefs are set up in a way that I’m fine with whatever happens.

(The only exception is extreme, or lasting physical harm and death. I can’t experience anything “normally” anymore when these happen to me. Some disabilities could be fine, but I probably have a limit of how much I could be affected. Losing all movement in all my limbs could be fine, but I’m not sure. Losing an arm or a leg or hearing or similar severeness I could probably be fine with.)

Now the thing is, changing your entire belief system to be fine with pretty much anything is not something people are either willing or able to do. I did it though and think that theoretically everyone can do it.

Big city, nice. I live in a small town. Could drive 30km to somewhere else, which I’m sure will not offset any savings xD

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess that’s why it’s a hot take. I think it’s possible without becoming a recluse

Other people shouldn’t be able to hurt you, non-physically.

There literally is no option for it. I can only buy my milk in cartons with this cap on

Most important here is the dabbing.

Yep I’m somehow in a reality where everyone is loved by Crackhappy, but no one I know knows about this.

Also what no one has said yet, if you put two identical people next to each other, same mindset, same character, same visuals etc etc, but the one is wealthy and the other is poor, for 99% of people the wealthier one is more sexually attractive. Our brains view access to resources as a desirable quality.

And so, why would a rom com that is literally supposed to be about attractive people, make them purposefully less attractive? There’s basically no reason.

For example.

But honestly I was more joking. The thing that makes most projects useful is the developers developing it, and they can’t clone that

Not sure what you’re actually losing on YouTube though… You go fullscreen quickly anyway. And if I put two windows side by side I just disable the tab because I’m likely doing it for a reason to have two specific pages on them, actually giving more screenspace because I don’t have the bar at the top either.

Which website actually has a layout that makes use of your extra space, and doesn’t center the content with empty space on the left and right side? I actually have barely ever noticed a case where it was useful

They’re not supposed to, it’s just about blocking them from using the software :)

The real solution is to include a few tiananmenSquare variables in all the repositories. Either they exclude the entire repository or just the specific file, in either case the entire project may be unusable.

I was not able to express myself clearly enough that you understand what I was talking about. Should I try again or do you not care?

With Proton, a large majority of games run on Linux, and most even better than on windows.

“Moderate” should not be a criterion for choosing anything. Rather you should choose the approach that has the best score when comparing reasons for and reasons against it, i.e. making a rational decision based on the available evidence.

The reason your “middle of the road” approach doesn’t make sense is because if you really decide like that, one side just has to get more and more extreme for you to “sympathize” with their side, since suddenly the middle will shift in their direction. You can be easily manipulated that way.
