2021-08-13 at 6:29 PM UTC in Do Weekends Exist Objectively?Some people would say yes, because they can experience weekends, therefore weekends exist.
Others would say no, a weekend is just a societally defined convenience.
What is your opinion? -

Gonna kill myself in a few minutes I'm thinking just tying my hands behind my back and doing a swan dive off my balcony hopefully breaking my neck instantly but who knows hashtag yolo
Use a piano wire noose and superglue your hands to your head before yoh jump, your head will get cut off but when you hit the ground, people will think you tore your own head off like a badass.
Also, do a flip. -

Originally posted by Aldra again, not what I'm talking about.
What's not what you are talking about? Don't act like a fucking Wario-ass bitch, be specific.but it's not really honest to use an outlier that excels in extreme trickery to make a point
Mmmmmm no, that's not going to work here, it's literally just a dismissal/handwaving-away of an example that is inconvenient for you and principally conflicts with your argument because you were LITERALLY fucking talking about being perceived differently vs how they actually look. THAT WAS THE QUOTE.
Would you use their pronouns or no?
From your evasive answer, I will guess: yeah, you are probably not going to go out of your way to call them "SHE", "HER" etc right?
In fact you might not even realize. And if you didn't realize they were trans for like the first 2 times you met them and then they told, would you go "WHOAAAA DECEPTION, SHE-HER TRANSFAGGOT ALERT! WOOP WOOP!"?
No you would probably just not give a shit because it's something that SHOULD be totally irrelevant to you even if it was kind of a big deal to them. -

Originally posted by Donald Trump OP you're making the assumption that people spend their time in reality, but in fact reality sucks and most people spend their time in fantasy worlds, and this isn't something new - religion used to provide people this out in the past, the various weird social things like wokism, star wars, etc provide this sort of outlet now.
From an evolutionary psychology/HDB sperg point of view evolution selects for what works, not what is most honest. So for instance if people believe a bunch of pretty lies and are productive and have lots of kids, then that will be selected for above someone who is honest about the nature of the world, doesn't care about competing in the world, and doesn't see the benefit of bringing new lives into this world.
As a result we are evolved to be insane.

Originally posted by aldra an underlying reason for social upheaval in the west (especially over the last decade) is an explosion in the inability for people to accept that some things are simply out of their control
Specifically what do you mean by "social upheaval" here?more specifically, that they're unable to reconcile their internal view of themselves with how they are perceived externally - so they attempt to enforce their internal view on the world.
I'm not sure I follow: you attempt to enforce your internal view on somebody else's subjective perception every time you try to convince them of something. There's no "reconciliation" being attempted in the first place.
In fact you impose your internal view upon "the world" every time you do anything. For example you internally view yourself as eating some fried chicken so you impose it upon the universe by doing it and bringing it out of your head. It's not going to enforce itself after all, you have to see something in the world isn't the way you wish to see it, then try to change it.it's similar to cognitive dissonance in that they become frustrated because they cannot reconcile the internal and external interpretations
but in this case it's not because one of the conflicting ideas can't be discarded, it's because they cannot or will not relinquish control over how they are perceived by others.
That IS one of the conflicting ideas not able to be discarded. You're describing the same thing. You just think they should discard one of them, which they cannot, so it is kinda missing the point entirely.they now commonly refer to others' perception of them not matching their own as a form of 'violence' with claims such as 'misgendering' or 'deadnaming' as a common example.
Do you really think they care about your perception or the fact that you are calling them something they just really hate being called?
If you call a gay guy a faggot out in public, they'll consider that a kind of violence not because they want you to not consider them as being literal tinder (although that's true I'm sure) but because you're being an aggressively rude asshole.'transgenders' and people inventing or invoking foreign 'gender identities' are probably the simplest example - people demanding to be perceived in a way contrary to how they appear - but they're only among the more extreme examples, far from the only ones.
Let's say they get really good trans surgery. Like imagine an FtM transgender goes through their transition and in the end looks like this guy:
Would you be willing to say "he/him/his" for them? Or refer to them by their male name? -

Originally posted by mmQ Yes I did. Lol. Just because I didn't include it in my post… don't be a FOOL yourself.
You're just saying that to cover up your embarrassing FOOLISHNESS, otherwise why wouldn't you include it in your post? It was clearly left as a blue herring for you to play off of. If you're not a FOOL then you're an ASSHOLE. -
