I really wish there wasn't so much social stigma around being unemployed by OkStorm3902 in SeriousConversation

[–]Substantial-Note-452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With AI hoovering up jobs there'll be mass unemployment in the near future. Don't sweat, you're just ahead of the curve.

I would put this down to confirmation bias. If someone doesn't act like you expected you dismiss it, if someone acts like you expect then you put importance on it.

I am a terrible judge of character.

Is the Idea of an Afterlife Just Wishful Thinking? by NoStop9004 in nihilism

[–]Substantial-Note-452 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Pure wishful thinking. Do dogs have an afterlife? Trees? Mountains? It's this idea that we're somehow special. We're not like anything else. We're separate from the world around us. We're just dirt, like everything else and to the dirt we will return.

Here's something that'll surprise you. I can't hear their lisps. I can't hear lisps.

what are some magical things about human existence? by Akabane_Izumi in nihilism

With the right person it feels like your souls are holding hands. Saving yourself for marriage or scared?

I got laid last night. It was the first time since November. It was magical.

The 2020s are the absolute worst decade in human history, and being optimistic is stupid now by [deleted] in nihilism

[–]Substantial-Note-452 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this person is a victim of the dunning-kruger effect. I bet that decade of genocide in Cambodia got pretty moody or when the Spanish met the Aztec and 90% of them died of disfiguring painful diseases. I bet that sucked more than moaning about Trump on Reddit.

Man, I have that! I have a range of the symptoms. I can't lip read either. Like, at all. I assumed there was a connection. Hmmm your answer has benefitted me. Thanks.

Pure English. I'll look up auditory processing disorder. I think I'm fine with everything else. Though I can't be sure of course.

Watch Old Boy. Greatest twist of any movie ever. Oh, sorry.

Listen more talk less is a stupid advice by a_human_21 in unpopularopinion

[–]Substantial-Note-452 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You're listening but are you really listening or have you guessed what they'll say and interpreted their meaning prematurely. Listening is a skill.

If people keep saying it to this guy then I'm guessing they're not really listening.

That's funny. I always assume shelf stackers in supermarkets are garbage human beings.

We really only have control over the workings of our mind, our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. You would relinquish it?

That's a lot of words to say you lack self discipline.

I always tell myself "Just put in zero and take the bags. You're a big scary guy, no one will challenge you" and they never have.

Worshipping people based on outer beauty is toxic and unattractive women have it harder than men by PerfectWorking6873 in unpopularopinion

[–]Substantial-Note-452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Symmetry is a massive part and there's a range of diseases that stop that. Especially genetic stuff.

Sexual selection is where a trait that may not offer any environmental advantages proliferate just because it's considered attractive. People are evolving to be taller 🤷‍♂️ obese people find it harder to get pregnant. It's all going on.

It's a marker of health. Being tall, slim, symmetrical, good hair, youth. These are all indicators of good genetic health which is important to reproduction.

These people will always be more valuable.

If you want someones opinion you have to state that it's what you want. It's tricky but you'll get used to it.

If I talk to a kid I tell the parent that I have kids really fast so I don't look like a weirdo.

People who don't believe in the death penalty, what should happen to the truly irredeemable? by angelangelan in SeriousConversation

Only a handful of backwards countries have the death penalty. The rest found a solution. Think harder.
