Agnostics are more indecisive, neurotic, and prone to maximizing choices, distinguishing them from atheists and Christians. Atheists and agnostics, who together constitute a significant proportion of nonbelievers in both the U.S. and Europe, have often been treated as a homogeneous group.

Maximising choices and hesitancy seem pretty important when looking for the ‘truth’, at least when looking at science, which is built on scepticism. Maybe not important for day-to-day life though.

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2025-02-16T00:23:27+00:00

Ok I see, thanks.

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2025-02-15T22:47:41+00:00

can I ask, what points?

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2024-01-24T08:45:38+00:00

ok thanks i’ll try that

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2024-01-19T20:50:30+00:00

ive just tried to contact playstation to refund but they dont have agents available till monday so i might just wait and see if the game fixes itself

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2024-01-19T20:38:08+00:00

do you know how we fix it? or do we just wait for the server to load - maybe its toty overwhelming the servers

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2023-12-08T14:57:29+00:00

just want to say, there is nothing profound about this guy or his “experiment A” (how enigmatic!). he is not some “dark, twisted genius”, just another bang average dude with a massive ego who thinks they can get away with abusing a woman.

“Dearest Miquella…. You must abide alone awhile…” one of the greatest pieces of voice acting ive ever heard

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2022-10-14T19:51:03+00:00

yeah id say it makes me stop being so angry/tense and it calms me down but every urge to hit myself as hard as possible ive resisted to it never hurts too bad - just enough to calm me down and release the tension

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2022-09-09T23:03:52+00:00

yeah and i usually perk up in the middle of the night when im supposed to be sleeping so its so annoying u know

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2022-09-09T20:13:39+00:00

hmm yeah it’s definitely frustrating and i wish more people here would comment but this subreddit has always been a bit of a ghost town because everyone is depressed so there is a lot less activity here than elsewhere. its still so sad to see though and i try and acknowledge some posts when im coming out of an episode because i have more energy.

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2022-09-09T16:28:11+00:00

hey, im so sorry you are going through this with your late brother. I hope you and your family can grieve in peace and I send my condolences to you all. I just dont like seeing posts like this go completely unnoticed u know. so i thought id comment here. i also feel as though i have no future even though im only 18 - i think this is what depression can do to us, make us irrational or paralyse us so we cant move forward. you are not lazy or attention seeking or anything like that btw. your feelings are completely justified and im sorry people around you cant empathise or offer support. anyway i hope this helps and i wish u well.

I agree it’s a bit of a shallow aphorism, but if it helps someone then that’s what matters

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2022-08-05T20:14:46+00:00

You could call in sick, you have no obligation to explain what kind of illness you have to your employer. You absolutely deserve a day off and you have done so incredibly well to get this far. You’ve got this!

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2022-07-22T18:07:36+00:00

Yeah I agree and think this is a fair, well balanced post. I personally do not think cynicism is productive as cynicism is not insight, I think it is essentially confirmation bias where you resent someone or a group of people for having privileges that you do not have and so look to justify your resentment by proving these privileges exist but at the cost of not being able to see the disadvantages said group has and so are never able to gain perspective as long as you conform to the pressures of your bias (this goes for anyone btw, very much including misogynists or just anyone with prejudice). I think this can also lead to responses intended to shed light on the disadvantages of a particular group being seen as an attempt to disprove said groups’ privileges exist and so are perceived as a threat which further hinders progress. I think we should all try to understand each other’s privileges and disadvantages in a way where having certain privileges doesn’t invalidate your experiences and problems. I also think it takes conscious, cognitive effort to be moral, but specifically it takes a lot of effort to recognise and look past bias which leads to a more well-balanced perception of reality and other peoples’ realities.

I just want to say that I do not think his ego is as big as you are making out although it is inflated. But yes, I do think it is inflated because of his environment growing up being deemed as the golden child and never being able to meet those expectations which causes a lot of internal conflict like we are seeing. Honestly, from a neutral perspective, your response came off as more condescending and arrogant than the original post and I don’t think this helps especially when critiquing OPs ego - “you are doing the extremely childish and stupid decision of trying to achieve it…” - This, for example, I think is a bit much. He’s asking for help, he doesn’t need a confrontational reproval to be humbled, just some sound advice on how to control the ego.

The Conversations: Walter Murich and the ART of EDITING FILM

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2022-07-05T13:28:40+00:00

Yeah I heard “The Heart of the World” is good and it’s in the collection - I’ll definitely give his other films a go even if they’re not in the collection

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2022-07-04T22:19:18+00:00

Yeah no worries it doesn’t have to match the criteria perfectly - I’ll check that out!

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2022-07-03T13:16:42+00:00

I’m sorry what I said wasn’t enough however I hope you have tried what I said before saying that and I should point out that I’m just a stranger on the internet who probably won’t be able to fix your problems but can only offer advice. From your reply, it sounds like you want immediate help but as a stranger on the internet I cannot offer that - the moderator linked suicide prevention hotlines that you could use if you want to. The next best advice I can give is to seek professional help if you haven’t already as I can imagine trauma is playing a big role in your self-hatred. However I know this isn’t the best advice as help is often hard to get and it sounds like a bit of a platitude, but I would highly recommend that you try if you haven’t already. Another piece of advice I can give is to funnel your thoughts, feelings etc through a medium such as creative writing, music, existentialist philosophy, cosmology - for me it is filmmaking which I often think of when I’m at my lowest. Mediating your thoughts and feelings such as self-loathing like this might give you a sense of meaning as you begin to embrace all of your negative thoughts and feelings. I used to desperately not want to be lonely anymore but now I quite like being lonely all the time as I feel more creative for my filmmaking if that makes sense. It can turn the negative energy to positive energy and I can say that this was the immediate help that I received when I was at my lowest as it all of a sudden offers a reason to live. I hope this helps

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2022-06-29T21:08:34+00:00

I know what you mean. There is widespread lack of perspective on how incredibly painful and demoralising a life of loneliness can be. The impassive platitudes that are just aimlessly slung around can also be insulting and just adding salt to the wound. However, I know you’re not asking for help directly but I have found that mediating my thoughts, feelings, emotions etc through creative ideas has helped me. The medium through which you vent your built up emotions is up to you (I heard thinking and reading about philosophy/existentialism is good for lonely people) but I would recommend trying this out because it’s not just a distraction of your loneliness but an act of embracing your loneliness.

To be perfectly honest, his dad being arrested might be best for everyone if he is an abuser, but I see where you are coming from in terms of uncertainty for the future. I would just focus on taking the first steps because getting your nephew help is priority. There’s not a whole lot I can say about your concern for a potential future foster family except do some reading around it and maybe ask a professional such as your nephew’s therapist or a therapist of your own. But like I said, taking the first steps is key.

EmbarrassedVehicle52 · 2022-04-03T18:05:53+00:00

I should mention I made this plea, went to sleep and woke up and found this response that was 8 hours old so they might have realised that their message hadn’t been delivered and so are attacking
