The real normies are the ones you made along the way
Honestly I think half of "leftists" you see online are just right wingers yelling in bad faith to create a rift. They know we are so ideological and ready to cancel each other if we fail to meet our purity tests that they just need to toss in a match to make the left crumble.
Aside, aperantly Christianity is making a comeback with Gen Z, and one theory is that at least Christianity has an element of forgiveness (turn the other cheek), where atheists who base their morals on secular philosophy can become very harsh in their criticism and once someone is out, they are out. I can absolutely see the appeal of this change for the youth. I only say this as sometimes we do need to look in the mirror. If we are so smart, why do we always lose?
Of course this is the Internet where we kinda just bring out the worst in people.
Oh you absolutely need to replace the gnome cartridge, my dad would always freak out if we didn't. That's like day 1 of dishwasher school.
Sorry I was too busy yelling at other people on other threads.
But also my concern was about the reaction to the post, not necessarily the post itself, though the two are connected
You mean New York?
Awesome, love this.
I wish this was the post or at least linked.
I'm not disagreeing with this necessarily, but I don't like seeing a post by an account I have no idea about stating something as scientific fact, and then having that post taken as fact point blank. Once again, not trying to say what she is saying is incorrect, I just get concerned when I see bandwagoning on some random person's take.
That said, if you find the studies on this, please please please do us all a favor and comment those!
If anyone likes music theory, Adam Neely, Nahre Sol, Charles Cornel, and Open Studio Jazz are all amazing.
I really would love to hear what a non musician thinks about them too. I bet maths heads would love it.
Brian Klass is a political scientist who recently put out his own philosophy of chaos theory. I think it's a pretty useful tool to look at contemporary movements and really refutes the "it couldn't possibly happen here" message.
Pre-2011 there was a paper published on why middle eastern dictatorships were so stable. The next year almost all of them fell. Klass argues that the author wasn't wrong, they just were working with the rules and tools we knew at the time, but didn't know the rules had changed with the invention of social media.
In his perspective, the idea of a "fluke" is not a fluke at all, it's a data point showing that things are changing and changing fast. Things just feel like flukes when our assumptions of the way things work become outdated.
More like "I already am, but now I won't have to pretend as much"
I think this might be to make sure the defacto castration of the courts is now written into law
I'm crying
But also right now I've been imploding and I am the bad guy, and I don't know how to forgive myself. Like 4 days after ending a relationship with the kindest person I've ever met because I want kids and she doesn't, I spiraled and slept with my roommate who also had a break up. I then broke down at our housewarming party and told my ex and she hates me now, but she's a huge part of my life still. I'm trying to patch things up with my roommate but I'm worried I'm leading her on, and then we found out a new friend of mine has been gossiping about the situation after I went to his in an absolute broken state.
This all comes down to my fault and I just can't keep going with the shame. I don't want to be me anymore.
Please Mr. Rogers give me strength.
