What point were you trying to make with that quote at the end? I don’t think it worked lol
I dislike AOC, shes too communist for my taste

But how will you make money curing Alzheimer’s? Old people have Medicaid and the government won’t shell out for the goods so they’d have to sell it cheap
sometimes your brain will decide something independently of conscious thought, and then invent a compelling narrative for why you are about to do what your brain already decided you were going to do
This kind of effect can be seen when a split brain person reacts to textual commands, like “stand up” seen on a computer screen in front of them only one eye can see by standing up, but when asked verbally why they stood up they just make up some shit on the fly like “I was tired of sitting and wanted to stretch my legs”
We’re just narrative machines (no, not like ChatGPT)
It could be asserted that none of our decisions are ever actually real, and its all just a series of these ‘decisions’ that are just invented by your brain to explain why you’re doing what you were always going to do, and thus you don’t have free will you just tell yourself that you do as a nice story.
I don’t believe that, I think that assertion is a bit like last tuesdayism and I dislike the unfalsifiablity of it, but yeah I get the argument
the tides stay in the same place relative to the moon and the earth spins below the tidal bulges (earth spins faster than the moon orbits, is the basic thing)
We humans are roughly as big compared to atoms and subatomic particles as we are small compared to the largest structures of the observable universe
I’m sure there are similar facts like this that are
mathematically logicalmaterially sound but to anlaymanamerican it’s confusing and inconceivable
communism
This seems like a logistical nightmare for all systems related to pregnancy and childcare if it were to actually become a popular thing, like damn, just pay people for having kids its not that hard
damn you fucking got their ass
games can be art, not all games are, and not all deserve respect
You don’t have to fix everything right this second, in fact trying to is likely to break everything worse. If you really do reflect and grow here, you will be welcomed and encouraged, but not if you go down swinging on a hill you “felt a strong need to defend”. I am not saying that in any way disparagingly, I’ve been there. You may not be wrong for feeling this way, but acting on it may very well be a mistake in retrospect
If you decide to take my advice, edit your post here to say: I’ve been given a lot to reflect on, I’m going to disengage and do that" or similar (include the word disengage though) and then no one will pile on, and may even reach out
if you’re legit and you want to grow and reflect, from now on in this thread, only ask questions and do not argue, digest what you read and learn for a while, and then you can argue like, tomorrow or whenever, if you still want to. anything else would be reactive and unhelpful for your growth, and likely result in you digging in and growing stubborn on the issue
For real, this is not going to be healthy if you keep posting at this rate, if you’re being genuine
I was replying to your reply in another thread and thought Id check your post history only to see youre in like 5 interactions at once, thats now how you self crit or reflect chief
Thanks for reflecting o7
Literally, when I told them they were detached from reality they responded “what? No I’m not, it’s not expensive I just rent a truck and move!”
Who hurt you?
Lol that you think your experience is the norm while claiming that others are simply fools for choosing not to move
The news flash here brain genius, is that YOU can do that, almost everyone else cannot
Okay lol
It’s no accident it happened this way, car companies yet bribed officials to make everything but driving a car illegal, re: jwalking and it’s consequences have been a disaster for the human race
And save trillions of dollars, especially if we extended this to Medicare for all
But using resources efficiently isn’t the goal, suffering is!
Anyone who supports capitalism is not left, it’s pretty simple
