Beats the antisocial and disturbed boy to school shooter/“alt-right” podcaster one, certainly, lol.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever tried to "acquire" a taste? (Ie. spent time eating/imbibing something you didn't like at first to start to enjoy it.)
1·6 hours agoMy wife has been trying to convince me that broccoli tastes great for years now… My mind hasn’t changed. Maybe the best tasting things have to be had in moderation and the blandest, most insipid things can be consumed basically whenever for a reason? I’d rather accept that than being gaslit, as if my tongue didn’t know better! 😅

Global News@lemmy.zip•Bolivia’s new right-wing government eliminates fuel subsidies and thousands of workers fight backEnglish
7·6 hours agoAmerican money and the corrupt nature of politicians worldwide made this possible. I didn’t even know of the situation nor have I read the article but that’s my first and only guess.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some common or everyday *unforced errors* to be wary of?
11·6 hours agoOr simply to someone who didn’t deserve it… Might be the main issue amongst people, ever, and if it’s not it is at least for me. I’ve had to learn to regulate myself so much and I still feel like I have a long way to go, lol. 🥲
The greasy nerd to e-t-girl pipeline is well-known.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Are we deprogramming empathy in the US?
1·6 hours agoI really don’t think “we” have, certainly the West hasn’t (with even the term “sky daddy” showing the clear anthropomorphic nature of God in the Western man’s mind, because amoral paganism/polytheism never left, it was just superficially transformed…). The vast majority of people won’t hold themselves accountable when the pleasures of this world are too enticing if they don’t feel like they’ll be unavoidably held accountable by a higher power. With discernment, integrity, selflessness and a clear heart it’s possible to do so to a certain/great extent, but these traits are secondary in the West, where overpowering violence, trickery and the capacity to acquire goods and satisfy yourself are paramount. But whatever, I guess we’ll see.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do any of you actually know someone who legitimately believes there's an actual "War on Christmas?"
8·7 hours agoI think I’d just laugh if I heard that IRL, lol. You’re gonna tell me I’ve been listening to Mariah Carey everywhere I go nonstop for a month for no reason?!
It’s all spin, with a collection of villains trying to get as much power, money and influence as possible. There’s also no shortage of villains because Americans are about “the bag” and “fuck you I got mine”, the difference in their sins is mostly due to different opportunities and not due to being rightly guided, moral people sadly led by monsters. Hopefully the corruption will weaken the empire and their collapse doesn’t end up in nukes flying all over the world but a more internal struggle as the country balkanizes.
I mean, it is, it’s just slightly less blatant. Every newspaper in Europe with corporate backing has been preparing the groundwork for a forever war with Russia, and don’t even get me started with the Americans (they’re experts at it, what’s an empire without pillaging and conquest?!).

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many of you young adults here still live with parents/relatives?
1·11 hours agoDidn’t say OP was, just that it doesn’t even fit the framework for “judgement”, it’s not a moral failing or developmental hangup, that’s all. 🤷👍

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Are we deprogramming empathy in the US?
11·11 hours agoBut who’s the us and who’s the them? And why would a distinction necessarily force us to commit murder?!
If you decide on anything superficial (race and tribe, for instance), the bonds will be easily broken and the people will be easily manipulated. If you pick something like character and ideology, you can have a wider circle (these things are more flexible) and if you dislike the out group it is for actual reasons like a major moral disagreement and not the amount of melanin.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Are we deprogramming empathy in the US?
52·11 hours agoIt’s been like that for a while (how did they get stomach chattle slavery, or the native genocide, or murdering brown people around the globe like Nam?), it’s the reason the rest of the world is very wary of Americans even if they don’t come in tanks and jets. Even Western Europeans are wary of Americans at this point, and they’re basically the same community!
I think that Roman Catholicism and offshoots (not the message of Jesus, but the unholy creation of the empire) are partly to blame, primarily the disinfo of Paul, the fed, with his “faith without works” and “you’ll be saved if you become a man worshipping polytheist!”. Ideology is very malleable, so we can do something about it, but Nietzsche already pointed to the struggle like 200 years ago and a solution proposed by the locals with local ideological tools hasn’t been found yet. Islam is the path forward for the West (and the rest of the world), but ofc you hate to hear it, even if it would offer an ideological framework based on the belief in God and objective morality (you gotta act right to save yourself, more or less Jesus’ message for everyone who’s actually read the Sermon of the Mount, for instance)… don’t forget that that gut reaction has been fostered by the powers that be in the same way that it was for the Japanese, the Vietnamese, the natives, the Africans, and now the Mexicans and Chinese. Maybe there’s something there, huh?
The aristocrats!
But yeah I wouldn’t even be that shocked, some people have to fill the lowest depths of Hell, I guess. 🤷

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•I don't get my facts from Science, I get my facts from Scientific Authority. Which is just like every other authority except with a different backstory.English
4·14 hours agoTrue but there is a lot of clickey shit and certainly paid interests in academia. But if you understand the background of the article/study and can read competently, you can sniff it out… the problem is that most people are specialists at best, not all-rounder erudites. Basically, still take things with a grain of salt, don’t just put blind faith in the words of men (specially while claiming one is not!).

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many of you young adults here still live with parents/relatives?
91·14 hours agoIn many (most?) non-Western cultures people live with their parents until they get married and move out. Just saying, it’s not a thing to “judge” a person for regardless.
They’re all in the same cabal and have all enjoyed their taboo activities/sexual depravity that brings them all together (not only for the pleasure but because mutual blackmail is a good way to build kinship, lol).

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Is there self help for narcissism?
3·1 day agoThey have to will themselves into accountability, I guess… but how they get there, idk. I know someone who sadly fits the criteria and it seems to have only gotten worse with time. 😔

Was Bush one of them or was he an honest imperialist murderer? Real question. 🤔
