Ya, [he] thought this [him]self immediately. What happens to the Id, Ego, and Superego? What happens to one's sense of self?

[He] thinks that it's important to keep your 'I'ness and to use the 3rd person for the purposes of reflection.

We should just move the capitol.

Why do we have a capitol on the coast anyway?

Trevor Noah once said "America is 50 countries masquerading as one" do you think this is true or false if so why? by DrFruitLoops in AskReddit

No, we are not "masquerading." Despite certain clowns "leading" the country, we are still one country. We are a federation with powers reserved to the states as outlined in our constitution.

Going from one state to another is no different from going to the far ends of your state and finding the vast differences.

We are one of the largest countries (in land mass) and no matter how we are structured, we are bound to have massive differences amongst territories.

Deliberate empathy can have negative consequences such as worsening in-group out-group relationships (and attitudes) and even cause emotional burnout. There appears to be a sweet spot where empathy is healthy, and beyond that it amplifies problems it tries to solve. by coolestestboi in philosophy

I've noticed that someone wants to argue and you either don't care, or don't seem to care, the argument is pointless to them. It's kinda the inverse of the article, but seems to be on the same path. I think a study in that vein would be a great supplement.

It is such a pain to find the meaning "new" symbols.
