It’s better, but they gain something by collecting and selling your your friends data.

I concur (although I roll my eyes at the idea of rooting for a sports team, especially if it’s big)

Psychopathy. Movies, sensational articles, pop-culture, etc. give a completely distorted view of the disorder and its place in the world.

• There are primary and secondary psychopaths. Primary being that it is genetic, secondary that is developed. So yes, in a way you can be born “evil” (of course the problem is that some definitions of evil don’t make sense).
• We don’t want to judge people for things they can’t change about themselves. Well here you have somebody who has about zero empathy, no feelings of guilt, remorse, or shame, by definition, and they were born that way (as primary psychopath). The emotional palette is pretty bleak.
• To add more relevance, this along with other Dark Triad traits is very prevalent in the most powerful people.
• There is progress, but no real standardised lasting treatment yet, though there are cases like this: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-it-possible-to-treat-psychopathy-before-it-starts/?rdt_cid=5647051055037794503
• Psychopathy isn’t in any manual to be diagnosed with. Instead people get diagnosed with AsPD (Antisocial personality disorder). 2/3 of AsPD don’t qualify as Psychopaths. There is interesting history about why this is. It’s willful.
• The Hare checklist is an acceptable way to test for signs of psychopathy. But he specifically said it should not be used to justify the death penalty, which they do anyway. People sue about it, but they don’t even get heard.

For someone who knows about nothing about psychopaths and hasn’t interacted with one, it is literally unfathomable how cruel they can be without blinking an eye. Which is why it’s so important for psychologists etc. to have a file of facts about them, at the least, to figure out what’s true and what not, as they generally don’t care about lying or manipulating people for their own gain and have had to do that most of their lives.

So yeah, take a fucked up justice system, shitty social cohesion and declining resources in health and the disorder causes so much trouble for everyone. Sensationalism only makes it worse.

Fair point

Yes, OP is completely reasonable and we should listen to them.

Usually I’d hiss, but this is a threat, so I cower 😿

It’s been 16 hours since this has been posted, and no opposing factions have formed yet. What’s gonna come next? Tolerance for both vim and emacs? /s

I got chronic back/joint/muscle issues for 15 years. I feel advice like this is only semi-useful. Every body is different, and you gotta use a holistic approach to the whole system to really fix/maintain shit. Short harmstrings and a weak core alone can cause this. And you can work your pecs all you want, it will come back if you don’t work on your core too.

You saved my night. That song rocks 😌 thanks!

The transition in Nazi Germany from shooting to gassing happened partly because of the effect it has on the psyche of the perpetrators.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einsatzgruppen

“The historian Christian Ingrao notes an attempt was made to make the shootings a collective act without individual responsibility. Framing the shootings in this way was not psychologically sufficient for every perpetrator to feel absolved of guilt.”

This isn’t the best evidence, but it shouldn’t be too hard to find, if wants to look more deeply into it.

I’ve talked about a very specific thing in your post, and now you talk about something else about which I didn’t mention a word. I’m going to return to the wisdom of not arguing with idiots and block you.

Your reply to someone mentioning someone ‘dating’ a 17-year old is “let’s not pretend you’re not gonna bang a hot young girl”. WOW. Even if you’re gonna be pedantic and say you meant young women yourself, not underage. It’s fucking disturbing, to say the least, especially in this context, and you don’t know the other person. So it just sounds like dumb projection.

Zionists are actually antisemitic. Calling people who criticize Israel for its genocide and apartheid antisemitic implies that it’s a jewish thing to commit genocide and apartheid, which is incredibly hateful.

Also this isn’t just about the israeli goverment. The protests you see are about the hostages, not about the inhumanity. Protests for solidarity with palestine are banned. There are recent polls that showed ~75% of israelis think “there are no innocent palestinians”. The beaches and restaurants are buzzing over there. It’s really not that hard to see from just about any angle, how most israelis don’t give a shit at all.

Please, anyone with a bit of a following, amplify their voices.

Oh god, quesadillas for breakfast one day, baked beans the next, and ful another. Three different types of bread, and like at least four different types of beans. 😍

All this effort of divide and conquer, trying to keep people in a state of fear and panic, etc. kinda shows what they are afraid of.

More importantly it’s for-profit capitalist crap? With ethical and moral considerations, there is no reason to push this when there are alternatives with much better starting blocks.

yikes, that easy… Thank you!

There’s also some interesting psychology involved. Been a while since I watched it, but for anyone interested, PBS: about some research at Berkeley uni Why Those Who Feel They Have More Give Less.
