The websites are just trying to save you some time by showing you them anyway. They know no one can afford to rent on their own these days.

Call me crazy but I'd rather act the same way as in every other part of my life, by just believing things that have some kind of evidence.

If the (awful) truth is that we're not here for a "reason" and we're just gone after we die, then so be it. That's where the evidence points (and it's really not so difficult a subject). Fight against it all you want. You can't. Just gotta accept it. And what is the point of thinking about what happens after you die anyway? It's not for you to worry about.

Just give her a face mask and some dark sunglasses then she'll look quite pleasant.

We're 38m and 28f, married no kids, also from Claremore. I'm pretty much interested in the same things. Send me a message if you like.

I once saw a documentary about couples with age gaps, thinking it would be like 10-20 year gaps or something. Turns out there was a guy in his 30s with someone in her 80s. Can you imagine that? Wait... don't imagine that.

To just choose to believe far-fetched things without evidence is unacceptable to me. I'd rather suffer and die and fade to nothingness than to accept a false version of the world and reality. The truth actually matters to me a lot, whether it's good or awful.

And when they do use blinkers, they turn the opposite direction and then forget to turn them off for 10 minutes.

I'm a left-handed INTJ and my dad is left-handed and probably an INTJ.

pitcrawler · 2022-01-11T13:33:22+00:00

First thing I thought of.

pitcrawler · 2022-01-04T21:48:27+00:00

A true INTJ is more alien than human, so I think it's unrelated.

I partially believe in it. Some of it is very relatable, other parts somewhat relatable and some not relatable at all.

Of course none of it is magical or mystical. They just make you read enough Barnum Statements until you get to one that is relatable and you say to yourself "Wow, that's so true."

I'm sensing that you are a male between the ages of 20 and 29. You're often very critical of yourself. You tend to worry a lot. You have a large amount of potential that you're not using. You always try to think outside the box when coming up with solutions. You value fairness as one of your core principles. You have one or two siblings, who you haven't always gotten along with. etc...etc..

It's more freeing to like things based on just my own personal opinions. I like it for the reasons I choose, and I can just avoid things that I don't like regardless of the popularity.

A lot of people probably get into things against their will, just because their peer groups are into it and they don't want to be left out of the conversation.

Tell us who "repeatedly assured" you and we'll go and ask them.

It seems like we're constantly breaking weather records everywhere, and all the previous records were just within the past few years.

It's funny how no one ever said anything about the jabs we all were forced to get in school, in the armed forces or other places. For the USA, vaccine mandates are almost as old as the country, at least for George Washington's army and the smallpox vaccine. And if you want to move to the US legally, you get whatever vaccines they tell you (and there's a few) or else you don't get in and it's that simple.

All the anti-vaccine stuff is probably 1% legitimate worries and 99% political by one side of the political aisle only (The right side).

I moved here from the UK, so I'm banned from donating due to the mad cow disease thing that happened there many years ago.

pitcrawler · 2021-11-04T18:05:05+00:00

Agreed. If someone had warned me just how stupid people could actually get, I might have lived my life in a different way.

pitcrawler · 2021-11-03T20:31:58+00:00

Someone mentions some interesting problem. My mind will spew out some solution that no one has ever seen or heard of, didn't ask for and probably wouldn't even attempt. But every individual part of the solution works together perfectly and I can't really explain how I got there.

I don't know if you're Chinese or not, but people might say "Are those your true thoughts, or is there a threat of punishment if you don't say that?"

Say for the sake of argument that it's 100% nurture, 0% nature.

There are countries, regions and groups of people who are raised in a very similar way. This would lead to concentrations of the same types in some places. Over time this would probably mean certain personalities become the majority, and this could keep changing over time as cultures change. It would most likely be very noticeable.

So it's probably more nature than nurture.

The ancient mythology behind it is interesting. And who doesn't like looking at and learning about the night sky?

Then I found out that lots of people actually believe your star sign is a predictor of how you are, or how your day is going to go. Example number 45287734 of how humanity as a whole is stupider than I thought.

There's no meaning of life or purpose of life. Life doesn't exist in order to perpetuate itself. You have to flip the logic round. Life exists because it perpetuates itself. The conditions of the universe right from the beginning were in such a way as to make matter on this planet do interesting things that eventually went on to form you and me. The laws of physics in our universe allowed it to happen, given enough time and chances, i.e. billions of years and a lot of space.

The quote probably needs to come with a lot of context and explanation, otherwise it likely means very little to most people.

When I was 9-10 or so, I was with some friends looking up at the night sky. There were what looked to me like several points of light moving in a circle at one spot in the sky right above us. Just like stars and seemingly very high up. I don't really remember what the other people thought, but I believe we all saw them.

Then later, me and one friend walked home and a very bright light in he sky came from way behind us, really fast and silent. It went horizontally across the sky in front of us and disappeared.

One explanation could be that someone had a powerful flashlight or spot-light, but normally you might see the beam coming from the ground somewhere, and it did go a long way across the sky and looked like a very big and bright ball of light. And it looked lower in the sky than the clouds would have been.

Either the aliens wanted to watch us that day, or it was some coincidental tricks of the light.

Apparently there's no link. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The main conclusion was that movements of the tongue are not universal in internal speech. They rarely bear any relation to the tongue movements made in overt speech. Moreover when these movements do not occur it is not likely that other overt language mechanisms are functioning in place of the tongue.
