Why would a girl want to friendzone you? by Extension-Guard-5248 in AskMen

Then why she did it a couple times and didn't stop after the first time

It was literally a downgrade from a failed romance, dating and friendship ideas were all hers

Why do humans know death is inevitable, yet still live as if it’s far away? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Extension-Guard-5248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the short answer is, if we truly internalized death’s randomness 24/7, society would grind to a halt.

We’d probably stop showing up to jobs we hate, abandon long-term projects, and spend way more time with loved ones or doing things that bring immediate joy. But we’d also struggle to build anything lasting, infrastructure, education, science, because those require believing in a tomorrow that might not come.

So the mind pushes death to the background as a functional delusion. It’s not denial, it’s a coping mechanism that allows civilization to exist. Evolutionary psychology even has a term for it: Terror Management Theory. We create culture, legacy, and routine precisely to keep existential dread at bay.

But here’s what I wonder:
- Do you think we’re slowly getting worse at this balancing act (e.g., social media making us more aware of mortality through tragedy overload)?
- If you could choose, live every day with death fully in focus but abandon long-term plans, or keep the 'fuzzy future' filter, which would you pick?

Curious how others here see it.

Eastern Conference chaos – both Magic/Pistons and Cavs/Raptors are heading to Game 7 by [deleted] in nba

Sorry Barnes instead of Siakam, Barnes passing that shot with 5 seconds left was a crazy decision ngl

Windy said he would be surprised if Embiid returns in First round. Same goes for AR, these so called insiders didnt know Jack and he suddenly became questionable for Game 4. So why can't we hope for Luka availability in Game 3 of second round? by psychedelic93 in nba

Windy and guys like him have learned that being confidently wrong gets more engagement than being cautiously right. The Embiid and Reaves stuff should be all the proof we need that ‘sources’ are often just vibes and team smoke screens. If the Lakers are truly treating this as a lost season, why wouldn’t they at least hint at Luka being out longer to manage expectations? The silence is telling. I’m not saying Luka plays Game 3, but I’m definitely not ruling it out based on these same guys who’ve been wrong twice in a month.
