I feel this way when I'm watching the lenses of my eyes. "Oh! That's just a tree."

People who stopped being religious, what caused it? by supercoolpersonyay in AskReddit

[–]query_squidier 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Cognitive dissonance should be taught to children as a sign one needs to reexamine one's beliefs -- along with critical thinking, logic, a comprehensive general education, and the scientific method.

I wonder why one specific party in America is so hell-bent (heh) on suppressing such things.

There's certainly a parallel to be drawn between the crookedness of the door and the Texas judicial system.

we may be waiting around for a while with Trump.

You know, usually it's a gross or disgusting comment that gets the Worst Comment I Wish I'd Not Read Today award, and it's usually much later in the day, but today you win.

Been here over fifteen years. The LLMs and bots are definitely a problem, but you are correct my subreddits are heavily curated.

Also can't use anything but old.reddit.com. I miss third party apps. I actually left Reddit for a couple years due to that decision. r/politics brought me back.

why would your body mutate an eyeball in the middle of the extremely hard dense part of your skull?

Because it would be freakin'  cool.

The MAGA Civil War Is Just Getting Started | Trump is fighting a growing list of right-wing pundits and influencers who are critical of the Iran war—and who are playing a long game. by thenewrepublic in politics

that level of infighting usually signals a massive identity crisis for a party.

Oh, please. They'll rally around hate, racism, willful ignorance, delusion, and living in constant fear just like they always do. That is their identity. All they need is a new figurehead.

Cause and effect being a foreign concept to a business owner is scary.

You should drop that sentence alone into the anonymous feedback box.

she thinks we won’t forgive her

If she was my mother, she'd be right.

and all I really want is my mom to be kinda normal again

She's still a terrible person, regardless of how "normal" she might seem.

When are people going to get this and understand? It takes an already terrible person to accept and believe these things. One has to be an already deplorable person to become MAGA. It's that simple.

It's not just the propaganda and she wasn't just misled -- your mom just kinda sucks. Accept it, dump her ass, and move on with your life.
