It’s nice to meet all you. I am she/her, can speak Toki Pona and English (non-natively), and locatable on Reddit as MozartWasARed. The links at discord.gg/sEuSSDz6TQ and deviantart.com/…/My-copyright-policy-and-the-impa… are pertinent to me.

Why do most people refuse to accept that they are wrong

I have come across a lot’s of people like these. like 99% of them. Sometimes it makes me think twice if what i am saying is wrong? What’s wrong with them. Is it so hard to swallow your pride and acknowledge that the other person is speaking facts? When they come to know they are wrong they proceed to insult/make fun of...

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Same here. I don’t call myself a truth seeker because I already know the truth, I call myself a truth seeker because I’m a truth seeker, but I get a more premeditated/artificial vibe from other people. Is it that people forget that leading thinkers actually embraced change? A lot of political theorists, one might say including Karl Marx, are said to have died with different ideas than when they began.

On the opposite end of things, I also get a disapproving reaction when I mention this. I remember long ago I made a fake game picture of a “Pokémon trainer” version of me declaring defeat, which was supposed to be put at the end of discussions to signify I considered myself schooled, and people reacted accusing me of “excess pomp” to quote one person.

What are your thoughts on the concept of having faith in a Higher Power but choosing to distance oneself from established religious doctrines?

Hey, so I believe in a higher power but I’m not on board with any particular religion. Anyone else think it’s cool to just fly solo as a good human, no religion attached?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

So in other words non-denominational? My denomination is so specific yet unspecifically connected to anything that you approximately described me as well. Without a doubt this can be said to be one of the driving forces of what we all talked about here. Jesus himself said the expression of love did not matter, it’s the love that counts.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I only played it to try it out, and it isn’t 100% in my range of games I’d care that much for, but I’ve gathered that Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (especially the first few pairs of games in the series) is the king when it comes to escapism. If someone said a psychologist made the games, I’d believe them.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Let only certain people interact with them who agree to not drag their culture into matters. Some might say dolphins are a living proto-example of this. Some interaction can be good, but then there’s hypercultural exchanges we have with them. And then there will be interspecies scars that will resonate forever. Handle them similar to Antarctica.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Just one dream at a time? I thought comparing/contrasting multiple dreams was part and parcel to that process.

You say that like following Daylight Savings Time is a prerequisite for having a job.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

If other people participate in Daylight Savings Time and wonder why other people are going by the original time, that’s the participants’ problem.

Imagine living in a nation that boasts so many freedoms and yet we can’t even refuse to participate in a tradition that requires us to change our clocks.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Not as good as mine.

Stick

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Above everything else, the protocols should be compatible with one another.

Long ago, in the US, there used to be a law that said that, if you commit a crime in one US state and then travel to another state, the police in the first state can no longer pursue you and it becomes a problem for the next state to handle. This was one unsung part of why Wild West style bounties were a common thing in the past even on the East Coast.

Now if the protocol in each entity is so aloof from one another that borders become the strength of a saboteur, doesn’t that ruin the biggest perk of calling yourself the “united [insert thing here]”? It’s also worth bringing up when someone treats the US as one single entity, like when they say “those darn Americans and their guns” and “those Americans are so fat” like one state can enforce a stereotype for the other 49 (something nobody says about, say, Europe).

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Does that mean I can get tetanus by walking around barefoot outside?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Gives a whole new meaning to this.

Do I have to re-register to get into it?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

How does one do that on here?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I don’t know, but I’m about a year into Mastodon and haven’t found a single person to follow and interact with on a regular basis. I signed up during the surge so they specifically told me to go for the masto.a1 instance because it was the only one not overloaded, and I can see why. Currently I use my profile there as a kind of quasi-storage, as it’s not like it doesn’t work.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I dream very, very infrequently, partially because of hypophantasia, partially because I learned lucid dreaming interferes with my sleep (it really isn’t that healthy), and also I’ve sort of stunted my dreaming. To explain, during a time when my outlook on the dreaming process was different, it used to be I primarily dreamt about people I missed. Such dreams were my glory, but then I’d wake up and the realization it was a dream once again would hit me hard.

One night I had such a dream, it became lucid, and I discovered that, despite being emotionally numb in real life which meant I have a hard time crying, in my dream I gravitated towards crying, and it felt unnaturally natural because I wouldn’t have expected it if I don’t gravitate towards crying in real life. It came to a point when I didn’t want to dream anymore, even if I never dreamt that often in the first place, so I pushed my ability to do so far, far away.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

For burrows I always do it based on the number of people, and for posts and comments I always do it based on how new it is.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

It depends on in what context. Sometimes I explore the implied “loopholes” that come along.

Example: Due to insufficient management, there is a high demand for a legally mandated universal curfew within a given area of the world, where everyone must be in their homes past a certain time. But that also means that, if violating it is a concern, officers must give you a free ride between places.

Put a list of Ursula Le Guin works on a wall and throw a dart at one of them. Don’t know which one you threw a dart at? That’s okay, because absolutely none of them have gotten good adaptations.

The only exception, extremely ironically given I’m saying this, is Tales of Earthsea. The first half is alright but I guess they lost their train of thought during the second act (their words not mine) and it became a Legend of Zelda story. Still not terrible though, I can’t understand why people hate on it when the same people love Ponyo.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

All of them. It helps to compare.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

This one, Reddit, and Tumblr.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Years ago I might’ve said something like school or overcoming my setbacks, but if that were the case, it’s less so now because my mind no longer squares the view that they’re challenges with the view or understanding that I would not wish many of the things I went through on anyone, if it ever did. Can you imagine going through things you were never meant to go through while people watch silently and measure your self-worth based on your success in endurance as if to imply the moments that haunt you forever were all a game and one you wanted to play?
