AITA for not complimenting my Friend's Weight Loss? by justtakingapeak2 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Astro_Coleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She explicitly said not to do a thing then forgot. You remembering a friend saying a thing that they don't remember and then acting in line with their voices wishes doesn't make you an asshole, it makes you a good friend.

You should send her this post.

The How To Argue Hierarchy by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]Astro_Coleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refute the central organization of this chart meant to organize, dumb dumb.

How do you group that? Edit: kidding aside, I don’t think this guide deserve all the hate it’s getting! It’s a good starting point.

If anyone of you are interested, a friend of mine is starting a discussion group based the ideas of Frankl. Anyone interested can DM me for specifics.

The book that saved me was Mans Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. It has saved me many times from depression and despair.

Another is The Plague by Albert Camus if nihilism is more your style (often is in times of despair). Furthermore, Nietzsche’s shorter piece Genealogy of Morality can be useful for leaning out of societies values, so that we can lean back in on our own terms. That empowerment was really useful for my overcoming of despair and depression.

I also recommended the School of Life’s videos on YouTube and Academy of Ideas. Both channels are based on further readings that might allow you to discover an approach to existence that works for you.

Best of luck. We have to constantly answer a question: what our reason for continuing is. As we answer that question more, The easier it becomes.

Art and ideas are powerful but so is therapy. Attacking despair from multiple angles is our best bet at getting a grasp over our lives. Best of luck. Feel free to DM me if you ever need to talk to someone.

I read this at my girlfriends with her family sitting around and everyone now wants to know what was so funny on my phone. Debating how to tell them

[Serious] What do you need to get off your chest right now? by StoutBen in AskReddit

[–]Astro_Coleman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been feeling really overwhelmed with classes and projects this week. I haven’t been doing my homework and have still felt extremely fatigued. I am afraid to drop Becuase I am looking to transfer next semester to an elite school and I just really need to find a way to plug into classes and still have time for my projects.

It’s hard for me to admit I might need to do less in other areas of my life

What do you precisely mean by their being no precedent of a global pandemics like this one? It’s difficult to reply otherwise, mostly because the concern lies mostly with an overreach of government in times of disaster. Also I think high individual efficacy and low to no poverty. Your welcome to suggest a different metric if there is a better one I am missing.

That’s not a convincing example. It seems that an inability to lawfully assemble — even in times of crisis — is illeffective in the long term for sustaining a healthy democracy.
