I don’t classify ideas in my head into those two categories like that. They are all beliefs. I have a sense of how confident I am of each idea. Like how surprised I would be if they were proved wrong. And I try to maintain awareness of why I have that confidence, like other beliefs that support it, evidence, etc.

That’s imperfect, like I can’t claim that there aren’t ideas that, if challenged, I’d think about what my supporting evidence is and come up with bupkis. Anything is up for doubt and reevaluation.

I feel pretty strongly that this is the right approach, and that people failing to have a similar approach is a serious problem in the world.

Restoring that sounds like a great idea, but I’m afraid we’re going to need an ocean that’s not too acidic for calcium carbonate shell formation.

“Peculiarities” has a much different connotation. I’ve used software which has had features that might have been better described as peculiarities.

Being questionable is a property of being human.

Making any of these gasses lickable kind of renders the green invalid.

The hard thing is to actually get past their lizard brain and contact their logical brain.

I can’t imagine myself in a relationship with someone who identifies with any ideology so strongly they define themselves as that.

I dont know if this is what you mean, but I once recieved an empty package and it was a struggle to get a replacement. It doesnt fit any categories they recognize. It’s not ‘did not recieve’ ( there was even a delivery pic), there’s nothing to return. I had to chat (IM) with someone multiple times.

Maybe they’ve been developing immunity…

I momentarily misread that as “depression fart” and was expecting a different reason for changing sheets.

It’s not even a compromise really, it’s very up to date and very stable.

It’s really hard to imagine when you are trying to learn. You just have to trust it will happen. You are basically training unconscious parts of your brain, and at some point all the hardness just vanishes and some unconscious part of your brain just magically does all the hard stuff for you without you thinking about it.

You didn’t mention Scotland, but on the off chance, could it have been Ghosts Go Haunting?

Dementia often causes personality changes. It can make really nice people into assholes, and it can turn people who were real bastards into the reverse.

What gets me is how transparent the term is, and people still act like its a good thing.

Since when are HR working class?

And you don’t even need to bring class into it, their role is the same even when the employees aren’t working class either.

I assume you know the difference between a BMW and a stallion?

Just curious…why?
