Well I’m not going to keep making guesses in the hopes that same day you’ll elaborate on what you meant.

Have fun with your sticks I guess

Is this one of those things where people who have never seen a living vow before romanticize rural life?

Sure about what?

There are 66 articles cited.

66 articles “cited” for a five point AI summary? Either your pawayll remover fucked up the website, or I have no idea why you posted this slop.

But I am understanding why this is going to be a confusing and frustrating conversation if you’re posting this slop like it’s an actual article.

Why would anyone keep voluntarily talking to you when you act like that?

I’m not your social worker, regular people can and often will just ignore you when you act like this.

In the 90s they put random English phrases instead of translating.

The fact that everything alive must someday die, isn’t really that dark in Eastern cultures/religions.

It just is what it is. They’re not saying to wipe life out, just that not accepting that everything will eventually die will only lead to emotional pain later.

Like…

You don’t understand it, but you made the case for why the originals just had random nonsense put it in. If you can remember those games you’re an adult now, and you still don’t understand what they’re saying.

Article is paywalled…

But IWI privatized like 20 years ago, and that was just the small arms manufacturing, as far as I know they kept making everything else too.

They “relied” on other countries because the grift was countries give Israel money, and Israel turns around and spends it at the corps who lobbied for Israel to get donations in the first place.

Because it’s Christmas which is the only time people think of it

And they’re socialized for that too…

Take a social animal, raise it in isolation, and it will be almost impossible for it to integrate in a group after released as an adult…

You’ve never seen any of the videos of wildlife rehab hiding the fact that they’re human from an animal?

or microwave with a wet paper towel over it.

While that worked for decades, it’s where air fryers really shine.

Outside will dry out and get crispy, but the inside retains moisture. I searched online first to make sure it was a thing, but there’s some math involved with how big it is because it’s so fast.

But I put off getting one for years because I didn’t see the use for it. But I can’t remember the last time I used my microwave now. Everything that needs reheated goes in the air fryer.

Just don’t put a liner in till it’s pre-heated or it turns into a flamethrower

You don’t need to be a billionaire or even own a boat…

People stage accidents on rented boats and even cruise ships fairly often.

Regardless of if it works and they get away with it, a lot of people have seen Dexter.

Billionaires can just outspend the government on lawyers to get away with anything. So there’s probably a higher percentage who assume they can get away with it.

Because DA’s are obsessed with win rate, they give cushy plea deals to people who can pay for good lawyers. Regular people and the government are the opposite, and innocent people are forced to take plea deals because time served and probation is always better than a 1% chance of 25 years in prison.

For a billionaire they just have to keep stalling till the money runs out. Even where Kirk got shot, the local officials were immediately freaking out over how they were going to pay for it all. So it doesn’t even take being a millionaire in some places. There’s a reason the children of lawyers are usually insufferable…

It’s like 1 of 2 days where the whole country shuts down. Even if a person doesn’t celebrate, they shouldn’t have to work

Man, I really didn’t think I had to explicitly point out lots of people have to take Christmas off, but have to burn personal days for their own holidays…

But here we are, me overestimating people again.

…

You realize a shit ton of Americans don’t care about Christmas…

Right?

And for the ones that do care about other religious holidays, the whole country doesn’t shut down to accommodate them.

It’s not innate…

Innately humans are just animals. It takes effort to get people on the same page that cooperating is usually best

But we stopped teaching kids that in school 20 years ago.

That’s the sad truth about it. It’s not that the right corrupted a generation, just that between them an the neoliberals, no one wanted to help them. They both wanted brain dead tribalism because that’s what their mutual donors want

It honestly shouldn’t be that hard for everyone to follow the string back to "no child left behind’ but I remember pointing out this would happen 30 years ago, and I thought it was obvious back then too.

If you’ve never read the Tao Te Ching, it could actually help

It’s not gonna solve all your problems, but that books thousands of years old and helped millions and millions of people deal with what you’re talking about.

It’s a really short (and cheap) book, it’s worth a shot.

I just feel like I’m trying so very hard at all at this is all and to read so many comments that I’m not trying hard enough is a bit heartbreaking

Like I said, don’t jump straight to trying to react appropriately. Focus on not reacting poorly in the heat of the moment.

Break it down even more if you want. Setting small frequent goals so they can be reached consistently is going to solve that issue where you feel like nothing is done. Like, a first goal can be just stay calm the next time you get heated. Not a permanent personality change, you just need that one good interaction to hit the goal and your brain will give you dopamine.

Keep it up long enough, and it becomes normal. Then you make your goal slightly harder to get more dopamine. Think of it like a video game, because they’re already designed to exploit how our brains work.

Quick edit:

But don’t talk about it. Talking about achieving goals gives the same dopamine hit. And why so many people fall into the trap of just talking about stuff

The Tao gets into that as well, but science has caught up enough to know why.

Finding a bipolar person that fully accepts their diagnosis is as likely as finding someone in prison who admits they’re guilty…

It’s a bad rollercoaster where people improve, feel like they don’t need meds, and then stop causing issues.

Medicating it, gets rid of the “highs” that the patient has been used to their whole lives. And it’s very hard to convince them that’s worth the tradeoff when the meds are barely holding back a manic phase.

OP doesn’t just need a therapist and more/different drugs, they need to go to detox and get sober off all the random shit they’re self medicating with. Especially the meth and ketamine, it’s not just bipolar that’s an issue.

Why the fuck does everyone think I’m lashing out at all of these therapists

That’s something your therapist will explain…

Like, my entire comment was about how you need to chill out first, and now go back and read your comment again and see how you reacted to it

This is why people you know and interact with in real life keep telling you to see a therapist

One of her favorite things to ask me is “how can you deal with X?” And I get frustrated and say “I don’t know.” Because if I fucking knew I wouldn’t be in therapy.

She’s not a mind reader…

Tell her how you do deal with it, even if it’s not ideal.

Then she’ll lead you to talk about other ways you could have handled it. If you’re getting frustrated and lashing out just talking about a hypothetical, what the fuck are you doing in real life?

You want to react well in situations, and that’s great, and the first step is getting help.

But I think you need to adjust expectations. Before you can react well, you have to not react shitty.

Aim for that as your first goal.

If you’ve never read the Tao Te Ching, it could actually help. It’s all about just letting go and not working against yourself, bend don’t break basically.

You go to Glasgow

The only real way to identify a problem, is get boots on the ground 2.5k km always, with a giant ocean for most of that space.

Want to be able to get the whole picture you see, the entire Eastern facing shore, then we’ll so what’s a vountry…

Racing games too, especially single player races.

If conditions are the same every run, it will eventually find the mathematically fastest way. I saw a video about a guy doing it, and after thousands of runs the bot noticed a glitch if the car wasn’t on four wheels allowing it to move insanely fast. Like grinding a rail in Tony Hawk, the bot would immediately do it, and run the entire course on the glitch.

That’s not human intelligence tho, that’s the same as when a slime mold can design a transportation network as effectively as we can.

I can’t believe I’m not really not really flying a spaceship!
