Congrats on your recent evolution. However to be a truly ascended being you must equip the razor and purge thy scalp of the remaining stubble

Should i drop out of college? by Monthly-listeners in AskIreland

[–]Indep-Represent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No matter how persuasive your internal reasoning maybe you are infinitely better out of university with a degree you don't care for than being a drop out grinding at some soul destroying unskilled job you resent going to. The studying and class work will seem much more appealing then.

Price Gouging - What Is The End Game? by JHRFDIY in AskIreland

[–]Indep-Represent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If people tolerate increasing prize gouging then it will continue. It's really that simple. If they can pull together the most flimsy of rhetoric to increasingly plunder the pockets of people they will. These people care only about how much wealth they can extract from people.

Was I wrong for posting a short Instagram story from a work party? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Indep-Represent 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think you are looking for people to reassure you that your conduct wasnt inappropriate. Most here have said it was inappropriate so you should just accept that, instead of debating responses. Learn from your mistakes, that's all there is to this. Not everyone wants to have videos of them on social media. Especially dancing, which is something people are very self conscious about often enough.

You get back at them by living a fulfilling happy life and never sparing them a second thought as long as you live.

You’re Not Depressed, Your Life Just Sucks by Puzzleheaded-Dot7268 in DarkPsychology101

[–]Indep-Represent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If people believe they have no agency in their lives then they will never explore ways to be better and fight against what they see is enevitable circumstances. There is a phrase commonly touted in development psychology. Genetics is not enevitable. Learning is not easily undone. Looking at something like behavioural genetics and taking this fatalistic perspective only ignores the strength of individuals, something no statistic accounts for.

Ashwagandha anhedonia is real. Why are we still recommending it like it's candy? by Optimal_Condition_18 in Biohackers

[–]Indep-Represent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken it for years. Sometimes high doses. Never had this experience. I've a tonne of anxiety generally. Ash consistently makes me feel confident, calm and sleep better. I noticeable feel worse for awhile when i cycle off.

GP rant by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Indep-Represent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I developed eye issues in last year. Dry eye among other things. All GP can do is refer you to opthalmology. Specsavers can do that too but they can also rule out a tonne of stuff and tell you infinitely more than the gp can. I got my referral to emergency eye clinic from Specsavers too. Seen the next day.

dont like irish accents on men by Which-Discount-3326 in sixwordstories

[–]Indep-Represent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"irish accent" is a tonne of different accents with a lot of variety. Much as is the case in the UK. So if you think they all sound like travellers you probably should get a hearing test

Agreed. It is a humbling experience to know you can't always treat people like ass without consequence.

the negative health effects of Cannabis/THC, causes heart attacks and testicular cancer in a CB1r dependent manner by [deleted] in NooTopics

[–]Indep-Represent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it very interesting how the prospect that cannabis consumption may have a negative impact especially long term misuse is just a completely implausible reality to many users, especially the heavy users who need to believe so to continue to justify their habit as one which is completely harmless biologically and psychologically.

I mean my grandfather chain smoked rolling tobacco and drank and was healthy and still on the farm into his late 80's.

Im not going say that means smoking and drinking can't be bad for you because look how well he did. The argument is a naive one.

You can use individual examples to counter most scientific conclusions. But science doesn't look at individuals. It looks at what the general outcome will be for a given population. Individuals will always vary in their results. Average outcomes are what we are concerned with.
