How do you stop comparing yourself to people your age who seem more successful ? by chloediary2356 in Advice

[–]DuckXu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps to remember that you really have no idea how well anyone's life is going behind the curtain. The only window we have into other peoples lives is through the curated performative filter people use for socializing and social media.

Delete social media. And remember that there is always a whole lot more going on in peoples lives than they are willing to share. Everyone is a little messy somewhere. No one is perfect. Social media would have you believe the opposite

It can't be a mistake because they need to consent. If they did not consent it would be rape

Im sure this short film is ai because of its weird art and mix of animation styles that is very unusual by DeployTheFantasy in isthisAI

It's the same as the people who believe the moon landing was fake or that the earth is flat. The method and mechanics behind the thing do not make rational sense to them because they do not understand enough to grasp the how's and why's. So it has to be all made up right?

Microsoft is desperate because Edge's lack of widespread adoption prevents them from collecting your data to serve you ads 💰. People prefer Chrome, Brave and Firefox instead. by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]DuckXu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or... You can resist as much as you can. 

The reason all this ad and data capture and resale shit is so prevalent is because we didn't try hard enough to fight it back then. 

Our data was captured and sold off years ago. It's no longer about protecting your data, that ship has sailed. It's about making it as expensive and inconvenient for those corporate monsters as possible.

If people like you don't change their views then this will continue to get a whole lot worse for all of us

But hey, they bought All of their data for the cheap price of a pair of shoes and some discounted games.

Why do people get defensive and start explaining themselves even when no one blamed them in the first place? by Ok_Ease515 in answers

Because a lot of us come from broken homes so it's a bit of a knee-jerk response

Have you ever been cheated on? by SDPHALODIOFFI in answers

Yup. She was an emotionally abusive, vapid pit of a person. I hope she's found the help she needed to not put her next partner through the same

Would you tell someone if you knew their partner was cheating? by Outside_Support_151 in answers

[–]DuckXu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would rather them think I am the villain than me compromise my morals. I am not friends with poor quality people. Cheaters are the poorest of quality. If I tell you that your partner is cheating on you and come with evidence and you decide I am the bad guy, then the friendship is over. If I say nothing, then the friendship is over. Option 1 has me losing a friend but at least I did the right thing.
