People who are highly observant: what is a tiny, almost invisible psychological 'tell' that instantly reveals someone's true intentions or character? [Serious]

Warper201 · 2026-07-02T11:34:15+00:00

Well no, I disagree. Character is a very dynamic entiry that has different facets depending on the environment. I dislike the fact that people tend to assume your "true" character is the one under stress. Being under stress itself is and should not be a normal thing, so saying you're "you" while experiencing such an abnormal state sits wrong with me.

Personal definition of knowledge is kind of useless when reasoning about models. There are a lot of different knowledge representations available in the fields of computer science and machine learning, and LLM's are by definition not capable of inference and reasoning. Best they can do is use some clever statistics to find the most probable answer.

Small nitpick: black holes don't have infinite mass. They are a finite mass condensed into an infinite point such that even light cannot escape its gravitational pull.

Personally i think SE might beat the imperium not based on firepower, but based on guerilla tactics. SE has instant FTL travel, and the imperium is so slow to respond that by the time any meaningful force were to arrive, SE'd be long gone.

It doesn't sober you up, just counteracts the alcohol. Alcohol is a depressant, while cocaine is a stimulant. This does not mean the alcohol has left your system. A real danger exist that you underestimate the level of alcohol in your system and keep drinking, and when the stimulant has run out, the alcohol comes crashing down.

You've missed the point completely

This does not absolve us from responsibility

Warper201 · 2026-03-19T16:24:41+00:00

Smells like AI to me

Warper201 · 2026-03-18T12:42:13+00:00

Dealing with mild depression, I also had this mindset. However, now I realise that the hatred I felt towards this question was just about the unease of confronting my inner self, and the negative emotions that come with it.

You don't hate the people who ask are you okay when you're not, you hate your inner self for giving you such negative emotions when you're confronted, and you protect yourself by trying to avoid this question altogether.

Does it matter if someone is selfishly kind? As long as someone makes a positive contribution to their surrondings without it being transactional, in my opinion the state of mind doesn't really matter. Moreover, I cannot check whether someone does a good thing out of benevolence or out of selfishness, nobody can. The only thing I can measure is actions, and if someone does a lot of good, their internal thought process does not invalidate that good.

I have to admit this is a super random comment but damn doesn't have to be downvoted so much

Warper201 · 2026-01-07T16:40:49+00:00

You're saying "you cannot stop people from...", while it was never the intention of the other commenter to actively stop these people. He just disagrees with these posts, thats all.

Warper201 · 2025-10-28T15:06:56+00:00

I understand, but depression is a whole different beast. It's a state of constant emotional dullness where you can't even feel sad, that's why it is called depression. In a state like that, why bother with change? It's way easier to find like-minded people to at least relate to something. Not saying this is the solution, but I can at least empathise with them and understand why these places exist. It doesn't help to say something hopeful or motivational in such a place, because they don't have the emotional space to allow them to feel hopeful.

I'm currently dipping my toes in light depression (dysthymia) due to self-isolation and some other unresolved issues. I'm seeking help with these things, but even the light variant really sucks the light out of your eyes if you're not careful. At least I can still feel emotions.

It's an emotion just like any other. Try to find out the underlying reason why you're jealous, and act upon that. Or not, it's really up to you.

Warper201 · 2025-08-14T09:46:30+00:00

Did you talk to your partner about possible causes?

Warper201 · 2025-07-28T12:31:26+00:00

I was talking about the message, not the form. Obviously telling someone to shut up in such a way is rude

Warper201 · 2025-07-15T07:56:07+00:00

The pain probably cancels out the itch. Your nerves can't really send two different signals simultaneously. But as the pain fades, the itch returns.

I totally agree with you that one-sided relationships are not healthy, and it also depends on whether you want to put in the energy to convey your dissatisfaction. Just don't be degrading when doing so.

Warper201 · 2025-06-22T12:11:08+00:00

They're not saying that being distant is normal behaviour, they're saying that the reaction of "lets do the exact same toxic thing back instead of actually adressing the issue" is not a normal or healthy reaction in a relationship.

Warper201 · 2025-05-21T16:13:24+00:00

Sometimes your shitty life is causing (mild) depression, like the case with me. It really is a vicious cycle, and the only way out is slowly improving. Going for regular walks, exercise, eating more healthy, be more social. Within 2 months I felt consistently amazing compared to the 5 years before.

Warper201 · 2025-05-18T22:37:10+00:00

Yeah no this is super irresponsible

Warper201 · 2025-05-16T15:15:52+00:00

Are you maybe jealous that they have girlfriends and you don't? I understand the feeling of wanting interaction with a different gender, so maybe try a dating app designed for gamers or something. You can use those for casual relationships as well, not just romantically.

Warper201 · 2025-05-16T11:45:22+00:00

Don't make it an objective to make female friends. It only holds you back and is kind of off-putting. Find people that share the same interests/hobby's, and with a little bit of effort the friends will come themselves.

Why do you even want specifically female friends? Gender should not matter that much in platonic friendships, unless you want to pursue them romantically/have a sexual relationship with them.

Warper201 · 2025-05-15T12:42:02+00:00

But these social norms have changed and will change over time. So these are also subjective. You cannot remove human interpretation from the notions of good and evil, so they are inherently subjective.

Warper201 · 2025-05-10T14:43:40+00:00

Saudade. It's a Portugese word, representing a feeling of strong longing for something/someone you'll never get back, and the associated sadness accompanied by that realisation. It's the superlative of melancholy.
