Not casually, no. But with research and intention, absolutely.

That helps contextualize negative emotions, but it’s still totally fair to describe “emotions that aren’t fun” as negative emotions. And there certainly are emotions based in pathology and even pathological forms of grief.

Oh, and LSD is huge for me when I need to accept something I’m unhappy about. Acceptance is the hardest part and the biggest obstacle to healing.

It’s a lot like a broken bone. Once the immediately urgent parts are dealt with, all you can really do is wait and try not to do things that inhibit healing. Try to just have faith that you will heal the wound, in some capacity.

and refer to coping with one’s own impending death

Those things are not relevant. Unless I misunderstand you, you are suggesting Valve could do something altruistic that undermines its financial position, and you are suggesting that they should do it just for the lulz.

Okay? And nation states have the resources to build a pile of pancakes a mile tall. But why the fuck would they do that.

The projection is herculean.

untested

See, you’re using a very selective definition of “untested”. Obviously it has been tested. You just don’t accept those tests.

The coercion and the exploitation without proportionate compensation

I cannot comprehend how they can just completely ignore irrefutable data just because they don’t feel that it is correct.

Everyone does this. YOU do this. It would behoove you to develop compassion to cope with impatience, autism doesn’t prevent it.

I have over my life discovered many such ways I do that kind of thing, which leads me to believe there may still be some I am not aware of. But I think I have addressed any that I knew about.

Lord, it’s so obvious. You wouldn’t find that bullshit persuasive if you didn’t already want to be persuaded.

Obviously you cannot maintain a deficit over the long run. Eventually, you disappear.

But for any given caloric intake that can sustain you, you will eventually come to a steady state where your body doesn’t grow or shrink any longer, because the bigger your body is, the more calories are required to maintain it.

But also be aware that this isn’t a case of calories in/calories out. There are things that you can add to your diet, introducing new daily calories, and yet you will maintain a lower weight than if you had not added those calories. All calories are NOT equal (despite containing the same chemical energy).

People who resort to name-calling are poo-poo heads.

There aren’t “reasons” people are afraid of vaccines. The irrational fear comes first, and then people go looking for rationalizations like yours to explain the feelings they already have.

Thank you, I did forget the glare.

Yeah but I mean outwardly progressive people with an entertainment career to think about.

It doesn’t really need to be tedious… My notes are jokey, full of profanity, sarcasm, and self deprecating humor

So worse than tedium.

He’s really making it hard. I don’t… I don’t seek him out anymore.
