Yeah, okay buddy. I suppose next you’re gonna tell me climate change is real, huh?
You’re so edgy and cool! Yes you are! Such a feisty little fella.
Yeah, champ. You tell em!
Ff7 Rebirth was so goddamn good (through my heavily biased nostalgia goggles, at least) and I really hope all this restructuring doesn’t ruin the next one.
I can see it
He looks like if Peter Dinklage had a baby with John Krasinski
They’re trashing our rights! TRASHING!
Yeah, 3 is -rough-
I loved it in its day, but it did not age well.
I don’t know if this counts, but I’d say the Enlightenment. It was a discovery in that we discovered a new way to interpret the world.
I think there is kind of a glass ceiling when you talk about fire, plumbing, electricity and so on. Each one was a necessary stepping stone to get us where we are, but without any one of them, we wouldn’t be here.
The Enlightenment gave us a brand new sense of autonomy as a species, which in turn has given us a greater amount of control over “Destiny.”
Ohhh, I think I getchu. It seems to be more of a problem for you in the use of “personality” non clinically?
Do you think it’s nonsense in pop psychology, professional psychology, or both?
I don’t think they’re meant to describe someone’s “everywhere all the time” personality. I’ve met and know several people that fit into one or the other.
One friend is completely “alive” at D&D, but quiet and reserved at any other social function, whereas another loves going to concerts, parties, and other social events, but falls asleep trying to play board games.
I don’t think it’s meant to be an end-all, be-all. Just one way to generally categorize personality.
As far as people being complex? Above a certain level, yeah, definitely. But we also have a lot of very low level behavior that’s relatively easy to categorize.
It keeps more money flowing through your local economy rather than sending it out to other states or countries.
I have no idea how economics works, but I think the idea is that it’s investing in the local quality of life. That’s debatable, but I wouldn’t call people who do it stupid.
I’d buy local way more often if I could.
This is what we get for conflating a persons talent and ability with their net worth
Thanks! I loved the flow.
And I agree. Ups do not require downs. Just the opposite, in my experience. One person’s “up” can, and often do, lift the others around them.
Ah, a nihilist. I know my limits, and virtually nothing I can say will change your mind because it’s still closed, and you likely already have an answer to any questions you ask.
However, I’ll leave you with this:
You can see it as naive and idealistic, and sure, I get it. But I never claimed happiness is permanent. It’s a worldview, and those can and should change. How they change is entirely up to the individual.
You have more control over your path than you realize, and those who benefit from a defeated or complacent populace are terrified of you realizing it.
Well it’s never permanent, but I would imagine someone in good health, with strong familial and social connections who lives above the poverty line (person A) is much more likely than someone without one or all of those things (person B) to have a stable feeling of happiness.
Stable, in this context, meaning harder to shake or break.
An example being person A is having a good day and they get a flat tire. The issue is much more likely to be resolved without affecting their overall happiness very much, whereas person B’s day might be ruined, which is more likely to have a knock-on effect that can greatly reduce overall happiness.
This is not to say someone without those things wont be happy, just citing a few top level things that, when absent, can make someones life experience more difficult.
As far as under what circumstances would someone experience stable happiness? That’s different for everyone because we all have unique challenges in life and how we were raised can directly influence where we are emotionally and what it will take to find happiness.
One of the most sure fire ways to find happiness is in kindness and forgiveness to others, as well as yourself.
Oh my god, he’s trying to make it Reddit.
