I’m sorry that you had a bad experience with your psychologist.

If I can point out one thing that might help you is that these thoughts largely come from an evolutionary trait called Negative Bias

Negative Bias is the disproportionate focus on bad events and/or memories compared to good events.

It applies to a large range of memories and our ability to perceive danger. Evolutionary it makes sense because our embarrassing memories makes us afraid or unwilling to behave in a way that the social group doesn’t like.

You can imagine when humans lived in societies in small groups of 30 people, that disrespecting someone could get you kicked out of the group and potentially starve to death in the wild. So there is a very strong evolutionary pressure that made your brain evolve to avoid repeating bad scenarios

Your constant embarrassing, sad, or traumatic memories are your brain reminding you over and over not to be in that situation again.

Unfortunately your brain didn’t evolve to be happy. It evolved to survive.

All I wanted to explain is that these memories are not your fault. Don’t feel like you’re any different because you have bad memories constantly. Accept that your brain will do what it is programmed to do and learn how to work around those tendencies.

And I could recommend trying another psychologist. I’m also available to chat if you’d like. Cheers 🙂

That’s a great comment. I go though basically the same steps with my constant flow of embarrassing and/or sad memories

If they’re useful then maybe I should explore this thought for a little longer, or try to speak with someone

If I have nothing to gain from it and it’s just making me cringe or sad I try to do something else to distract myself

It’s important to not shut these memories down immediately. Some memories really need to be explored in order for you to properly leave them in the past. And you can bottle up a bunch of emotions if you refuse to think about thoughts that come to you constantly.

An icon represents what the people think it represents.

An icon can also have different meanings to different people. It’s ok if you don’t like it. But I don’t think it’s fair to say that the majority of people that use or share Pepe are from one specific ideological group

They have a regular spicy ramen, which is more spicy than what most people can take, and then there’s 2x, double the amount of chilly from the regular one. And the 3x you can guess what it is.

I’ve had the 2x before and it’s uncomfortably hot but my criticism is that the overall taste of this brand of ramen is not that great.

I know you have good intentions, but I just want to point that animals getting killed is part of the natural cycle and it happens in the wilderness literally millions of times a day.

That’s the worst argument towards veganism.

The two best arguments in my opinion are: the meat industry produces a ton of CO2, and we could feed more people with the same amount of land.

I’m not entirely in support of veganism since I think that some animal protein is essential for the average person’s diet. But I certainly agree with the 2 reasons above.

CBAT - they will get horny, jerk off in sync to the rhythm then leave

Alien Hip Hop - they will be either extremely confused or will get inspired to leave and form a prog rock band immediately

The Woven Web - it’s such an incredibly sick song that they will have to mute their speakers and bop to it

I would miss Google maps too.

I’d love a cool gimmicky phone that flips open or whatever, and has a small screen or a really bad frame rate. Just to discourage me using YouTube and social media.

I just don’t know what I would use to navigate around

It’s just a media game

Every time Russia says “there will be consequences” they’re just throwing threats around like a dog barking from the other side of a fence

All their cards are on the table. The only things they could pull off are drafting more people or going nuclear

They’re now scrambling to find soldiers from other nations because announcing another draft would obviously shake Putin’s control over Russia

I just wish Europe would stop playing this war like a political game. SEIZE RUSSIAN MONEY! What are you afraid of? Ruining relations with Russia? Fuck off! Ukraine won’t have people to fight forever

In this context “gamers” means “chronically online gamers”. the 3% of people they actually complain about this kind of stuff that would not change anyway

Israeli soldiers are not recruited from prisons like in Russia

I guess they antagonize anyone that has moderate exposure using their IP

In some countries copyright law says that if you let people use your copyrighted material with little to no impediment then you cannot suddenly request whoever is using your material to stop

Let’s say that Nintendo allows fans to make fan made Mario games for 5 years. Then they suddenly sue everyone and say “hey you have to pay for copyright or shutdown”. A judge can decide that since they didn’t enforce their copyright for some time they cannot sue people that are using their IP.

From a legal perspective the act of policing your own copyrighted material is the company’s responsibility. This law prevents companies from relaxing their copyright claims for years (essentially allowing people to use it) and then suing everyone for using their IP. In other words Just let everyone use it, then sue them. The law is there to prevent that

Nintendo is likely super strict because “let people use your copyrighted material with little to no impediment” has room for interpretation in a court room. So they go to the conservative side and shut down everyone. Also consider that they’re right next to China. The piracy capital of the world. It’s not a surprise they’re scared about their copyright.

I’m not saying that what they’re doing is right. It’s not. But I see where it comes from.

The time dilation on the surface of the moon would cause a clock to be 20 milliseconds ahead of a clock on earth after one year

it might be easier just to synchronize the space station clock with earth once a month, but I guess NASA would go for nanosecond precision if they could

That may make sense if you’re on the surface of the moon, but that’s not the case. The moon time zone is for the moon orbiting space station proposed by NASA

If a year is how long it takes to go around the sun then a Moon year is the same as Earth’s
