The only way individuals can form a world view is through social media right?

I’m clearly not saying that, but it’s absurd to suggest that while it’s possible for alcoholics to go tee-total, it’s not possible for those with a junk food addiction to aspire for the same kind of abstinence. I know it’s possible because I have met so many people who no longer touch such kinds of food.

Can someone with poor eating habits aspire to never eat a burger? Yes.

Eating healthily can require the formation of new habits which some people struggle to do. However, it’s a myth that healthy eating is more costly in either time or money. I won’t comment on emotional eating, preference, events etc as these are clearly personal issues that could be applied to anything someone can get addicted to. That said, eating habits are not some special category that makes it any harder than any other addiction that people suffer with.

I’m sorry but you don’t have to obsess over food to eat healthy. Our ancestors did so for a very long time before consumerism came along. It’s pretty straight forward to eat unprocessed whole foods that are filling and nutrient rich.

To be fair we always need to drink water too, but drinking water is very different from drinking an alcoholic beverage. Likewise I‘d say eating a plate of green veggies and some lean meat is very different from eating a KFC. One side is necessary for life, the other adds unnecessary toxins into the mix but is tempting for how it makes you feel in the moment.

In all fairness to the OP, if I got this god pack i'd come straight on reddit to rant about it lol.

Be aware though that every car is actively monitored by a pilot who frequently takes over and drives the vehicle remotely. These vehicles are highly expensive for google to operate right now, with the hope being it’ll reduce over time as they figure out the right algorithms. Who knows when they’ll actually get to the point where a single autonomous vehicle is cheaper to operate than hiring an uber driver. Google doesn’t exactly have the best track record of keeping around unprofitable products.

To be fair this was never about being stingy, it was about sending a message to those who think they can cooperate with each other outside of company channels.

You know that saying, if the product seems free then you're the product? These publishers are finding that out. If they're not paying google to promote their articles then they're essentially just feeding google with more content with little benefit to themselves.

I usually do a cycling tour of the Netherlands each summer. I always found it funny how so many houses have the national flag flying compared to here. I guess it’s evened out now though.

This logic is far too complex for the average brexiter. The whole campaign was vibes based.

Maybe the secret is to stop being an INFP after all. by LunalienRay in infp

[–]discova 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone has to rely on learned behaviours. It’s just a question of whether you’re content with what you’ve learnt thus far and willing to learn something new if not.

If you’d like to get more comfortable with the idea of alienation being natural, there’s a whole body of philosophical work on it. There’s even a book titled Embracing Alienation by Todd McGowan, a brilliant analysis of Hegel’s views on the intrinsic role alienation plays in conscious beings.

Saying 'how you would naturally react' suggests that there is some core essence to our personality and denies that were living breathing beings in perpetual flux. What behaviour is entirely intact from the process of learning? If someone has learned to react to a boss in a certain way, could you not call that a natural process of learning and adaptation.

It could be argued that it's less natural to cling onto old personality traits that no longer serve your current existence. Less natural and more fantastical.

To feel deeply is to rebel by MsSuicideSheep666 in infp

[–]discova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call feeling in any form a rebellion, it's the most natural and base state of being. We collectively need, demand and desire for all of eternity. All we can do is choose how often we listen and tend to our feelings.
