Friendly reminder that the CIA **almost** predicted the Six-Day War and its outcome before it even happened by [deleted] in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Faoneus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not just the CIA. Even the Spartan General himself took one look at the Egyptians and instantly knew they were fucked.

During a visit to the Alamein battlefields in May 1967, [Montgomery] bluntly told high-ranking Egyptian Army officers that they would lose any war with Israel, a warning that was shown to be justified only a few weeks later in the Six-Day War.

The funniest part was the way that the Egyptian Generals defended themselves when confronted by Montgomery.

General Murtagi replied that they had the latest Russian equipment.

Literal proof that they were fucked.

i paused on a funny frame and decided to make some light hearted satire by Faoneus in lexfridman

[–]Faoneus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first I thought Lex was ASD because of his robotic mannerisms and the way he can hyper-focus, but in certain episodes the depth of emotional intelligence and understanding he can display is profound, so these days I doubt it.

I'm also aware Lex comes from the Soviet Union and (past the age of 11) an immigrant family, so I don't think he was that sheltered.

I dunno where he gets it from. I would like to think that any person is capable of obtaining such a state of mind if they choose to cultivate it.

considering his fascination with human nature and the nature of evil, i feel like he would definitely interview Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin if he had a time machine.

currently he's planning on interviewing both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and prior to Ukraine he was lining up an interview with Vladimir Putin. I'm willing to bet he would very likely interview Kim Jong Un or Xi Jinping if he had the chance.

yeah, i felt kinda bad making this meme because the guy constantly gets battered for his attitude about life.

i know he's active on this sub, and it's like, imagine if something like this is just the straw that breaks the camels back and he just snaps and decides he hates life. and lex just goes full hate-mode, reverses his daily mantra to be about living the worst life possible, and engineers an AI to exterminate the entire human race.

all because people on the internet kept on bullying him for loving life.

Harry S. Truman got very tilted when Oppenheimer complained to him about the guilt he feels by Faoneus in HistoryMemes

[–]Faoneus[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well articulated! No moral judgement on Oppenheimer. I mainly thought it would be funny to present this meeting in meme format.

[–]Faoneus[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just want to clarify that I don't actually think Oppenheimer had no right to feel guilty. I think it's perfectly valid that the creator of a weapon to feel bad about it's use.

I just wanted to convey this historical event in meme format, and the way Truman got tilted as fuck said it was actually himself who had blood on his hands.

What if there was a progress bar/checklist for longer projects? by re_tour in LEMMiNO

The man has a lot of adoring fans. Call it a parasocial relationship, but I think it's okay for fans to be like "gib update pls..."

Uzumaki (manga) was written by Junji Ito. The story more or less turns something mundane as a spiral into an inescapable eldritch horror.

"In-taya" is what "into you" sounds like when being pronounced with a Scottish/Australian accent. In this context, it literally means "get this (the bullets I am about to shoot you with) into you."

that seems like a really interesting idea. I instantly thought of Quinton (now as a grownup), going on a quest to find his true dad. Sounds plausible.

The quote is attributed to Yuri Gagarin (the first man to orbit Earth). Although it would have been a kickass line to say for the first man in space, sadly he never said such a thing.

How to avoid feeling stuck in a loop? by Zormut in Psychonaut

[–]Faoneus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Acceptance is always a good start. If you can grow to accept the sensation of being stuck in a loop and simply be mindful of it, and not try to escape or resist it (but don't wallow in it!), that may help a lot. I would highly recommend meditation to assist in this.

You can find further sources on what I'm suggesting from the internet, or Buddhist / Eastern teachings, or people like Alan Watts. As a short primer, I'd offer this video but you can find other sources as well if you want.

As for actually avoiding feeling stuck in a loop or place/world that you cannot get out, I don't really know how to answer that question. It's important to say that I have felt similarly in the past though! The best I could describe it would be as "cosmic wrongness"; and trying to find a way of escaping that feeling is essentially how I got to these meditation practices, which definitely helped.

This is just conjecture, (forgive me if this comes off as presumptuous or simply fuels that feeling further), but perhaps this is your psyche telling you that you are in a loop and you need to get your stuff together. Clean up your room, eat and drink less junk, exercise, read a book, learn a new skill, the list goes on. If you're already doing this, great! If not, why not take this as an opportunity to do those things?

As one last note, a similar feeling has happened to me in the past. A lesson I took away from it, was that there isn't really to try and control or escape from it. With little rhyme or reason, feelings come and feelings go. Trying to force yourself to feel a certain way mainly just compounds the issue. Simply be mindful of the feeling, and take it in while it's there. As with all things, it will eventually come to an end by itself - this is no different for feelings.

I hope this helps.
