If you want to make friends, go to events for a thing you like. You’ll already have something to talk about. When you talk to people ask them about themselves instead of trying to get them to think you’re cool.
Most of my huge friend circle is because I would go to anime cons and talk to randos. I was interested in other people and asked about stuff in their life.
Hot take, we should deliberately dehumanize rich people.
Can you give us an example of Democrats shitting on people for not having college degrees and high paying jobs? I’m asking because can certainly quote wealthy Republicans shitting on people for being poor, through their words and actions, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a Democrat just up and insult someone for not having an office job.
I man, yeah, I was just ribbing the person who made the post that was a knockoff of another post, and they took it as some good fun.
Oh you definitely were xD figured you’d appreciate some ribbing back
If I’m limited then it’s not true Omnipotence is it?
If I’m limited then it’s not true Omnipotence is it? Honestly though I’d take it if I had to though
If I don’t have a choice then it’s not true Omnipotence is it?

I’m on the Internet too much because that first word there looked like a very specific fetish
Idk it’s one of the most popular and influential religions, so it kinda got ol Yahu a boost most other deities haven’t. Probably one of the only effectual things made by committee in history.
Kinda shows how messed up humans are though doesn’t it?
Dat Demiurge be at it again
Yet positive thinking has proven to be better for your mental and emotional state, helps you heal faster, and actually helps you succeed because you’re looking for opportunities instead of ignoring them, as well as actually trying those opportunities instead of talking yourself out of it.
It’s not a fallacy to try to think positively, it’s a scientifically proven tactic.
Yeah, you gotta know when to fold em, but saying that thinking you can do something is the same as a gamblers fallacy is a false dichotomy.
Ok yeah, I’ve lived like that too and I can relate. Trust me when I say that I totally get that mental state.
The one flaw with it, though, that one has to break through eventually, is that it’s reactive. It’s always, ultimately, defined by others.
The escape clause I found was that one of the best ways to get back at the fuckers was to thrive. But to do that, I had to do what I wanted, not just react. But to get what I wanted, I first had to want something for myself, and then I realized I couldn’t get that if I held onto the idea that everything would be terrible forever. I had to have a gritty version of hope. I had to adapt to a positive mindset for my goals or else I’d be hampering myself.
So yeah, spite can get you to accomplish things, but it’s always a contrarian way of doing things, constantly teathered to showing someone up rather than actual freedom.
This is a brilliant way of looking at this whole situation. I think that if people can contextualize it like you said it would really help bridge the gap!
I’m not talking about being in denial. I’m saying that if you want things to not suck, you do have to have the idea that things might not suck somehow later. If you think things are always going to suck then you’ll never bother to make things not suck.
I’m not saying never to be angry, I’m saying never to give up.
Thanks for answering. I could see how people would read into these quotes as looking down on people without college degrees, but I feel like they would come off like that if you were already looking for it. These seem pretty mild compared to the loathing Republicans have for educated people and Trump saying that smart people don’t like him.
I’m not really convinced that Democrats “shit all over” people for being uneducated the way that was described, especially since I’m seeing it now directly from Trump.
I understand that it’s the long-standing sentiment of the Republican base too think that way, but it also seems like these people are bitter about not getting to go to college. So someone told them that the Democrats look down on them for not going and the Republicans say that it’s ok and boom, you have someone voting red forever. It’s ironic that they are voting for the party trying to gut the thing they initially wanted, and hating the party that (at least provides lip service) for making education easier for everyone to get.
