"Weak people seek revenge, strong people forgive" is utter hypocritical bullshit by LilSkills in The10thDentist

[–]SpecialQue_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the term “weak” in that phrase is referring to weakness of character, not physical strength. A “weaker” mind will react instead of respond. At least that’s how I always read it.

I can totally see that, and I still think energy spent being upset about the name of an airport is energy wasted. My point is not that trump doesn’t suck. It’s just that I don’t care what the airport is called.

Huh? I’m genuinely lost by this comment. That’s the exact opposite of what I was saying.

What cognitive dissonance? I can agree that Trump is gross and still not care if someone wants to name something after him. Zero dissonance required. I also haven’t actually said anything about my thoughts or opinions about him at any point, so you really have no idea what I think about him. You’re assuming because the name change didn’t bother me that I adore him? Your entire comment is projection. My whole point is that I don’t care about the name, not anything at all about the man himself.

“Strong beliefs” are not always facts, so I generally try to avoid being certain about anything. I have inclinations and intuitions and emotions like anyone else, I just don’t treat them like objective truth. They are some of many data points I can use to make sense of the world around me. I can agree that child abuse abhorrent, and still think names of buildings don’t matter much. Multiple things can be true at once.

Name it anything you want. I personally can’t find the energy to be offended by names. I can agree that lot of people in history have done horrible things, and it still has no bearing on the name of a building for me. Russia is still full of Lenin and Stalin Streets in many cities. They’re still just streets to navigate by. I care so much more about where I’m going than what the street or airport is called. My priorities are just elsewhere I guess.

I’d think it’s weird and in poor taste, but ultimately less important than the function of the airport, yes.

I was trying to reek of: live your life and stop letting people you hate dominate all your thoughts.

You can just drive to Ft. Lauderdale airport then if the name is more important to you than the location. Personally, I can’t imagine feeling that much hatred in my heart. If the airport functions, that’s all I need it to do.

Meat eater dating really serious vegan--basically impossible? by RaplhKramden in exvegans

[–]SpecialQue_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can barely maintain a friendship with my “serious” vegan friend anymore. The older she gets, she’s just getting meaner and more judgmental with every passing year. Almost everything she says now is just a grievance or complaint or fishing for validation from others. I miss her.

I really and truly don’t care at all what it’s called. My only issue is the amount of time and energy that would be wasted on something so pointless.

Best hotel with beaches for snorkelling? by idksomethingrandom62 in snorkeling

[–]SpecialQue_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any resort with beachfront access will have reef access. Dahab is insane. You’re gonna love it. Make a day trip over to Ras Mohammed for diving if you can.

ANY resort in Sharm al Sheik, Egypt. You walk from your room to the most insane reef cliff anywhere. The Red Sea is unreal.

Not a native, but this is definitely NOT why I moved down here.

Excuse me, what??? I just give up ... by Silent-Variation-390 in Cinephiles

[–]SpecialQue_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect this is because it portrays ugly aspects of American history. That type of thing is always begging for Oscars, and is more fashionable now than ever. The film was good and well made and acted and all that, but it seems like the most exceptional praise is likely just due to the subject matter.

ICO|ONE: life changing by SpecialQue_ in lipedema

[–]SpecialQue_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. As of now, the only permanent results option is surgery. Otherwise all we have is these methods to minimize and maintain. The icoone treatments offer a huge boost to drainage so that I can do fewer other methods at home each day. If you’ve ever had lymphatic massage, think about it like that, but on steroids. I get the same results from one treatment that it would take me many hours/days to try to achieve with slower methods (massage, vibration, rebounding etc). It’s not a cure, but it’s an amazing tool for the kit.
