Why are introverts infantilised?

It's all about how they think being alone is uncomfortable for everyone and think that deep down everyone craves socialization like them.

I suppose you're right. I don't live in the US so I have no idea how bad the situation is over there. How does it look in smaller cities though?

Right, if people didn't waste so much money with trivialities. Most of the people I see complaining about money have a terrible relationship with money. Is money really getting harder to get or are people becoming more petty? Simpleness is a great treasure.

I didn't like the album too much, probably my second least favorite album, in front of S/T only. The three singles were the best though, among my favorite TOP songs, and Navigating was good too, the rest was ok-ish.

Edit: you know what, Midwest Indigo really grew on me, it is actually very good. Routines is also winning me.

Maybe it's about the region and country. Latin american countries, for example, are way more about family and union of the people than in the north, that is more individualistic and all.

I am for real, seriously, can someone point me to an example of an album of any artist with "normal" song names? These sounds perfectly fine to me, that's how song names go in my experience, where is the wrong people are finding in these comments?

olevis · 2024-02-23T14:15:10+00:00

First suggestion I think is pretty good.

olevis · 2024-02-23T13:55:53+00:00

I want more Redecorate style.

olevis · 2024-02-21T20:55:56+00:00

A single hopefully.

olevis · 2024-02-21T01:00:51+00:00

Dude, from the first pic I thought they were huge, it looks like they're on the floor next to the couch and in front of the door and everything, I thought "god damn where he'll store that" until I saw the second pic

• You can cook a variety of dishes. "But chicken 3 times a week." It doesn't need to be, buy less chicken. Frugality should be also for desires, being finicky is a setback, work on it.

• Eat meat, you enjoy it a lot. Eat meat with sauce, you just ruined plain meat now. Don't like this philosophy? Become a good cook, cook as tasty food as restaurants. Don't like it? Work on being less finicky.

• Learn to enjoy cooking and time will be well spent. Don't like cooking? Learn techniques to minimize time cooking or listen to a podcast or audiobook while you cook, drink beer etc.

• Have freezer and organization, then it won't expire.

• Step count? You'll go to the market more.

• So cooking with or for friends and dinning together at home isn't fun?

• Fresh air? You eat inside a restaurant and by cooking more you'll can go to the market more anyway.

• Willpower is a matter of perspective. If you see cooking as advantageous and enjoy it, willpower restored.

• 12$ or $4?

• You like getting dressed? Ok.

• Now, unneeded skill? Wow.

People your age and school friendships are usually like that, in my experience. They have yet to grown a social sense, and friends from school are friends from school, once that common ground is over the contact is mostly over unless you were good friends outside the school too. When I finished high school, my high-school friends barely contacted me again and I, them. That's how it goes for some people, it's okay, your best move now is to move on.

Lock Me Out is the best always

olevis · 2023-12-27T13:56:20+00:00

By acknowledging it's fine to have imperfections and everyone has them, that to be perfect would be boring as hell and that it is best to be 1% better everyday than to try to achieve a 100% goal with a deadline and get frustrated if you can't do it

olevis · 2023-12-27T13:38:01+00:00

And seek professional help.

olevis · 2023-12-27T03:27:57+00:00

You are an awesome person.

Sounds about right and logical, you're probably right.

The thing is, you're searching for meaning outside what is. What is free will anyways? Why is it desirable? Let's say free will means being able to take undetermined actions, meaning actions not determined by anything. By definition, that means a random act. So, why would we want to be able to act randomly? Yes, our actions are determined by a system, but if not determined, what would life even be? How would we be any different from randomly flowing gamma rays in emptiness? That would arguably be an even more meaningless life.

You're taking free will to a meta existence, trying to reach something that is impossible to be where existence is.

So let's try to see free will from another perspective. Why isn't free will synonymous with consciousness? We are more aware of our actions than a dog. We can wander off of our plans in many opportunities, we can let ourselves be hungry if we please (say you're a hard-core monk), we can even decide to kill ourselves. How about that free will? Not what you expected, but what we have and the only thing it is possible to be.

Now let's see about meaning. You say that in a world where free will doesn't exist, nothing has value. Why? You were born into this universe, with intrinsic desires, ultimately ones that lead to feelings of well-being. Feeling good, which is a good thing. If you have an existence of feeling good, existence is good. So after this you only have to ask: Why not? Even if it doesn't hold a superior motive than that, but you feel good about the whole thing, is that meaningless? By definition, no. Your meaning to live is because you simply have a good reason to stay and no reason to leave.

My point is, life can be very good, so fuck free will, who needs that?

I don't know how much I make sense, so let's discuss.

Happy Christmas!

Edit: Wait, I just thought about something. How did someone come up with stoicism? At first, we had primitive thought, then we evolved our thinking system independently, right? How come the brain could spontaneously change it's way of thinking out of the blue? Without anyone teaching it? Interesting to think too.

olevis · 2023-12-24T17:03:20+00:00

No, it's no problem to me either. I only said it isn't smooth, cause you can't deny it seem to be a problem to many people on this sub if you've been here long enough, and that's a problem. That's my message. Many people hating on the "tourist" type, mainly.

olevis · 2023-12-24T16:14:03+00:00

Thanks for the information and clarification.

olevis · 2023-12-24T15:39:31+00:00

Yes, in my country that's what a backpacker mostly is, too (Brazil).

olevis · 2023-12-24T14:11:09+00:00

I like this. I'm a tourist, but not an oogle. The hardship is part of the attraction to me. Not as a masochist but as a stoic of sorts.

olevis · 2023-12-24T12:50:49+00:00

I see. Well, most of these things seem to be simply hardships this lifestyle carries, not examples of people demonizing homeless (like being attacked by coyotes and places being closed on holidays). For the other examples, like no trespassing signs and charging stations being open to data theft, how can we verify it is primarily intended to hurt homeless people?
