2018-11-03 at 8:27 AM UTC in Am I right in guessing that this is where a lot of you feel most yourselves?My internal monologue is pretty close to how I post here, I probably have less of a "enhancement" here than anywhere else and there's stupid shit I'd post here that I probably wouldn't bring up even with close friends.
I'm not really convinced that means I'm "more myself" here rather than anywhere else. I think the ways you choose to conduct yourself are a real part of your identity, not some mere transient mask you wear which has no relation to yourself. Like I'd swear here but not around academic peers, but that doesn't mean I'm somehow being "unauthentic" in that context, I just have a different relationship there than I have with the ragtag band of misfits I've been posting and shittalking and arguing with since middle school.
And it's not like this is the one magical place that's absent of social norms, nowhere is like that. With your closest friends, or the most obscure pseudonymous shitposting community, there's still social standards, you still enhancement yourself in that environment, there's still subjects or behaviors which are taboo. Every now and then someone rolls into the community that you can just feel doesn't fit, something about them doesn't quite mesh with the group dynamic here, even though most people hate each other, they don't even fall into that framework of hate and are actually banished to a much colder hell than being called out, they're just ignored, no one can relate to them enough to even include them even in the social rituals of mockery. There is no "version of yourself" that's most authentic, we're simply the synthesis of all the various ways we choose to be.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-11-03 at 6:11 AM UTC in several notes about self awareness
Originally posted by mmQ There are so many thousands of reasons why people get sober, from the spectrum of personal choice to legal consequences to health issues and everything in between. And there's just as many reasons why people continue to not stay sober. What was it for you, your breaking point, of you will, thst allowed you or motivated you to do it and follow through?
I saw finally what it was doing to people I loved. THEY LOVE me. I didn't love me. I had to realize their pain and try to see myself as they did. Now I do. I see where I lack and don't. Right after I got sober I had the absolute most horrific two years of my life. Yet I didn't go back. At that point I knew I won. I knew who I was what I was about... I saw clearly for the first time. I started drinking at 11 drugs at 14 and was very functional for most of my life that way.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-11-03 at 5:16 AM UTC in several notes about self awareness
Originally posted by mmQ Snoob is a good example of Un self aware. Even if he thinks he is, or is to an extent, guys like him are so programmed to generally have a main agenda and one track mind which they are scared to consider the possibility of it being wrong or at the very least not as right as he might think.
Ive gone to some very informative talks on campus of adults talking about controversial subject matter and its always civil and done in a respectful manner, in the understanding that there's enough self awareness with these folks that they realize we aren't always right and we may in fact be right too, but the "I know I'm right and nothing you can do will change my mind" ive always found to be embarrassing and a clear indicator of a lack of self awareness in that sense that outside opinions don't equate to stupidity and inferiority to your own opinions.
Obviously nobody WANTS to be wrong, but I think true self awareness is accepting that you can be wrong, and regerding certain issues you very likely are. People are scared to be wrong–it's humbling, tarnished egos, and can be felt as though due to being incorrect about one thing dimishes one's credibility therefore nobody will take them seriously about other matters.
a lot of times, like everything else the message delivered by the medium shapes how you react to it. It's easier to take criticism and admit you're wrong to someone you see as being of somewhat equal stature to you versus someone you see as inherently inferior. Most people are guilty of this to an extent and will defend a position they aren't so confident about because the person they're conversing with can't articulate the nuances of the detriment of your position.
I try to be pretty open IRL unless I subconsciously determine someone to be an "other" (enemy) and from then on they are basically dead to me and I assume they think the same about me even if they don't. Yes my personal/emotional issues affect every part of my life thanks for askingThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!- mmQ,

Originally posted by Narc You got no right talking like that until you go to the police station and admit to all the crimes you've ever committed in a signed statement. Once you've done that then you can act all holier than thou and criticize others. But until then shut the fuck up you fucking moron.

Originally posted by Narc But nobody should take more than they could ever use tho? That's where the problems start when greedy individuals earn more than they could ever use then just continue earning, usually at a huge rate. While there are millions of others unable to get the opportunity to earn barely enough to eat, clothe and house themselves.
What's wrong with taking early retirement once you've reached say the 200 million mark? Then you've got more than you'll ever need and now some others get the opportunity to have a piece of the action.
I don't think your conception here is too far off from my own.
Nobody should be a denied a piece of the proverbial American pie because they are being blocked at all possible entries by the super-wealthy.
Certain risk and trade-off factors play an important role in how one's earning capacity is determined. For example, entrepreneurial risk implies that many entrepreneurs will fail, and so those that do succeed are highly rewarded as an incentive to contribute to more entrepreneurial ventures.
And then there are factors like lost-wages trade-off for highly educated individuals and public servants, who either spent many years in training (when they could have been earning some kind of salary), or chose to serve the public good by being social workers, teachers, and public health care and public legal defense advocates.
My point is just that, a lot of people who are "anti-capitalism" tend to oversimplify matters such as these.
So to summarize, I am pro-capitalism in the sense that I believe that people should be appropriately compensated for their contributions to society, as well as any risks they took in doing so, or sacrifices they made to get there.
And on the other hand, I am anti-capitalism in the sense that full-blown, laissez faire capitalism run amok is simply unsustainable, at least not ethically, since wealth will always wind up concentrated much too highly in some places, and become completely deprived from most others.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-10-31 at 11:30 PM UTC in FUCK YOUYou can be either a) theist, or b) atheist, where the addition of gnostic/agnostic is intended to specify the epistemological value of the claim. It's clearer when you consider that the word gnostic is translated literally from ancient Greek as "known" and thus agnostic becomes "not known" so you can either be a knowing or not knowing theist, or you can be a knowing or not knowing not theist.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Originally posted by Technologist I haven’t been in those shoes….yet, and I hope not to be, but I could imagine being sucked into hate if someone killed my son.
My husband’s son was shot by his cousin. His son was 5 and the cousin was 13, and knew what he was doing, not accidental. My husband forgave the child for killing his son, it took time, but he did. Not sure if I could do that, it would probably take time to heal 1st.
Hate eats away at us. I tend to agree if something were done to my children that I may as well hate. I would hope that I could be strong enough not to.
Hate doesn't hurt the victims of hate. Hate destroys and blinds the holder of hate.
If someone hates me... I don't care I'm not bothered but they hate me so they are.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-10-30 at 8:16 AM UTC in Do you initate conversations with strangers in public?God rarely unless I'm on a high dose of Adderall, but I must give off positive vibes or whatever vibes that scream out "HEY TALK TO ME ABOUT ANYTHING ON YOUR MIND OR JUST YOUR FAVORITE CANDY YOUR THINKING ABOUT PICKING UP"
So when standing in line at the store I'm studying the candy and reading the energy drinks ingredients, and looking at chips as if I'm baffled by the variety and deeply concerned that I might make the wrong decision (shh guys not actually planning on buying the shit)
And people STILL end up saying something to me
So yeah I kinda turned this into a strangers initiate conversation with me, with me trying to avoid initiating conversation for most occasions unless they give off a particularly friendly or vibe or like their old and lonely or something.
EDIT:Long term connections are significantly harder for me to make, which is good I think? People who make long term connections easily are probably very clingy and also more likely to run into problems/drama due to lack of discretion.
I think depending on the amount of time spent, it might either be you, your keen eye of as people getting more comfortable around you letting loose more of their "real" selves, and the fact that there is quite a large number of shitheads out there.
So maybe your a good dude with good judgement. Or your just a narcissist asshole who gets to thinkin he's too cool to hangout with his friends
HAH you only like to talk to people at partys, events, bars. Thats the worst place to initiate conversation because you hafta yell and half the time misunderstanding and I try and not breathe on people when I talk I like suck in or look away while making occaisional eye contact but when yelling at a bar or something I just think I'm breathing my air/bad breath on this person hah try initiating strangers at church or salvation army or wal mart where its still kinda got that party vibe but its alot quieterThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by mmQ Maybe I need to get paid to care about myself.
You have to treat your time with the same respect you would if you were you your own boss in charge of paying yourself by the hour.
If you start to treat yourself like a living, breathing organization, you will start to look at how you allocate your time, money, energy, and resources in general in a whole new way.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by mmQ You literally just had that same piss test to pass a few weeks ago.
Yeah I'm a pretty bad fuck up. It was for another reason a few weeks ago. This time I did a microscopic amount of hydromorphone 48 hours prior so I'm a little worried it will show up although I did drink quite a bit of fluids afterwards and and had a sexual session where I sweated so much it was fucking ungodly. I had a flush kit too but I just didn't use it in time so now I'm just praying twice a day for all the wrong reasons.
This is pathetic. My life is pathetic. I can't deal with this painThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-10-30 at 3:14 AM UTC in ITT: We motivate each other to better each other's lives
Originally posted by mmQ What if you know the goal isn't a "potential growth experience" like for example I've had a goal of deep cleaning my place and rearranging some furniture and I've had that goal for a few months but every time I even consider it I'm like "well shit I wanna play some video games or I wanna drink" or something else and so basically I just say I'll do it tomorrow or another day. Procrastinating.
The reason I say it won't be a growth experience is because I've done it before and it was just a.. A cleaning. I didn't GROW as a person I don't think. I wonder if there's a trick to convincing myself that I could grow from chores and tasks like that.
It's all about momentum as well. I wasn't cleaning a lot earlier, like fuck it, why not let dishes pile for 3 days and have a bunch of random shit splayed across the floor? I've been making it a point to keep my shit clean though because I realized it makes everything else easier. If you start letting shit like that slip, more shit you've been procrastinating on will slowly build up, and it will feel more overwhelming and harder to get going. Then one day you're waking up after a 4 day bender and your entire living space, life and mind is trashed and it takes a ton of effort and agony.
If I just keep up with the little things, the big things seem more accessible to take care of. It forces you to stop living in the future and having anxiety about what will happen, which is not productive at all, and makes you actually take action. It's hard to see how the small actions add up when you view them one at a time but if you just chill with the worry/anxiety and do what you need to do you'll be much better off.
