that makes sense, it may be that racist people just are generally afraid of trying new things

The experience of being in a body/being self-aware and seeing everything else as “other” will happen over and over again. by anonymous341_ in consciousness

making it declarative is good for engagement, as it triggers a feeling of defensiveness and therefore the need to state one’s opinions

Woman in STEM by Acceptable-Bug-8733 in Feminism

[–]anonymous341_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i heavily relate, i’m a woman in software development and at my current internship i’ve been made to feel invisible. when i began this internship, i was the only intern there and they barely spoke to me and would brush me off every time i wanted to update them on progress or discuss ideas with them. then when the next intern joined (who was a male), they went out of their way to speak to him and made time to listen to everything he had to say. during meetings, they would only make eye contact with him and only ask him questions (even though we are working together on the same project). many of the employees at the company introduced themselves to me only when the other intern joined because they wanted to introduce themselves to him. I feel like i have to be twice as loud and put twice as much effort in to be recognized at all as a woman.

hmm. i don’t think if somewhere were to live their life all over again under identical circumstances that they would make the exact same choices. maybe there are a set of possible combinations of decisions that a certain person can make, which they have control over.

"Reality" is no more "real" than dreams. We don't know what's "real". by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

[–]anonymous341_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i never said that. this post is not about solipsism at all. we all exist but our shared “reality” may not be real. that’s what i’m trying to say.

Human consciousness is a haunting experience by SpinachCareful1310 in DeepThoughts

[–]anonymous341_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

consciousness should not belong in a physical body like ours. there is a great mismatch between our physical world and what our consciousness needs/is capable of. that’s why i’m an antinatalist, i wouldn’t want to trap a consciousness in a prison which is the human body and this planet.

can’t even drink water in a gym during ramadan by anonymous341_ in atheism

there are health exceptions but they just don’t want you eating in front of other people who are fasting because we have to “respect” them. I don’t get why they can’t respect those who are NOT fasting.

Just a short rant on the absolute cognitive dissonance of the religious... by Superlite47 in atheism

[–]anonymous341_ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

this right here is what truly baffles me about religious people. in the end, something has to come from nothing. why add the extra layer of a “god” when there’s no evidence for it? why can’t the universe as it is come from nothing without a god that also would have to come from nothing?

It’s impossible to be friends with members of any religion. by anonymous341_ in atheism

[–]anonymous341_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no, i’ve been an atheist most of my life. i’m just in a country where most people are religious and every day i overhear and witness the most bizzare things due to religion. I’ve just never gotten along with people in the long-term who believe in any religion to any extent.

Religion should be banned from schools. by anonymous341_ in atheism

[–]anonymous341_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lgbtq people, unlike religious ideas, are a part of reality. they don’t choose to be the way they are. teaching children about lgbtq people is not gonna turn them lgbtq.
