Please report comments like this when you find them. The negativity spreads really quickly, and it’s quite tiring.

Shout-out to his spiritual successor, Homey D. Clown.

Homey don’t play dat.

Rest in peace, Hvaldimir, you magnificent mammal.

I can acknowledge that you’re partially correct. What I was suggesting was geared towards preventing people from acting in negative impulses. Basically, your brain thinking “no, don’t do creepy shit.”

But with your example, exercising rationality actually would help, because “the sadness that comes from seeing couples in public or among your friends and knowing that you’ll never experience what they’re doing” is actually an irrational thought.

There’s no reason to assume this is actually the case. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy that’s easily dispelled by recognizing that you’re actually capable of having that experience. Some proper therapy can help replace those intrusive thoughts with more empowering ones!

Edit: fixed an autocorrect issue that changed my intended meaning. Sorry.

I’m not saying to get rid of them, I’m saying to exercise self control so you don’t act on them. I dunno about resources on that, my dude. It’s just kind of a necessity to be a responsible adult.

Fair point, but there is a simple solution. Learn how to deal with it. Learn self control. Let that rational part of your mind do the driving.

OR we could teach people about respect and human decency…

Sorry, op. I’m locking this post because the discussions are getting out of hand.

Hey, op! I just wanted to thank you again for your contributions. You’ve cleaned up your posts a lot better, and I’m glad to see how much more traction they’ve been getting. Nicely done!

Easy there, Satan.

There… There aren’t a lot of things that would change that…

My my, you’re adorable. Want to sling more insults at me?

Because everything is shit. Welcome to life.

Holy crap, you delivered! Thanks for being awesome!

Occasionally this place hops on a meme trend and just beats it into the fuckin ground.

Now it’s vans.

Welcome to Lemmy Shitpost. I hope y’all never change.

It’s the latest trend, apparently. Posting shit about vans. It’s the new beans, essentially.

He’ll be ok. His latest role got revived. He’ll be doing it till he’s 90.

I swear to god if this starts another fuckin bean trend I’m doing some mod abuse.
