bionicjoey, (edited ) to asklemmy in Why do most people refuse to accept that they are wrong

It’s a basic psychological need to be able to trust that your brain can be right. A lot of psychological problems can result if you don’t trust your own brain to be able to solve problems and cope with new information.

Some people don’t learn the value of accepting mistakes/failure as part of learning. As a result, they will associate being wrong with weakening the trust they have in their brain. They don’t want to believe that their brain may not come up with answers for the problems and changes they face in life. So they will deny that their brain is incorrect.

It’s an ugly insecurity, but it’s totally understandable from an evolutionary perspective. We need to be able to trust our brains to navigate life’s challenges. People need to be taught that it’s okay to make mistakes, and that admitting when you are wrong is an opportunity for personal growth.

I’m inclined to agree. I respect the work he’s done for R2R, but I find his videos on New York commercial real estate to be incredibly cringe. Nonetheless I think GrayJay is a decent YouTube frontend and will probably continue using it until it gives me a reason to stop or until something I prefer comes along.

bionicjoey, to risa in Wow. I would unironically watch this

I think you mean Cerritos

bionicjoey, to risa in How is this not the worst episode of DS9?

Probably an unpopular opinion but I did not like that one. The drama felt super cheap since I knew that Sisko had plot armour and therefore the resolution to the episode would need to be some time travel nonsense where none of it mattered.

Fun fact: Klingons don’t have a normal question mark. They only have the interrobang. Because every question is also an exclamation.

Of course a giant amorphous blob of supremacist slime would be a fan of Mariah Carey. What do you think they listen to all day in the great link?

It’s not a big deal, just something I thought was odd. I’m not gonna claim checking a box is ruining my life or anything.

Kinda. YouTube has stats about which times of a video are watched more proportionally for a single view. You can ironically usually use this data to see when a sponsor spot ends (to skip to it) since there will be a peak in the watch time curve.
