  • What’s to see?

    I wish people would see past the idea that millionaires are evil people (and yeah they are), and understand that the root of this issue is on the economic/governmental system that allows people to hoard this much wealth

    Yes it’s dystopian as fuck how much money he’s able to make. But that’s not a result of him being evil or something. That’s a result of how the advertisement Industry works.

    He’s just a guy that mastered the YouTube game and is doing what he’s good at. He could retire or take a more relaxed work routine and still be a millionaire. But he works a lot to make more YouTube content because he likes it.

    I don’t like Mr. Beast. But don’t think he’s doing anything unethical


  • I’m sorry that you had a bad experience with your psychologist.

    If I can point out one thing that might help you is that these thoughts largely come from an evolutionary trait called Negative Bias

    Negative Bias is the disproportionate focus on bad events and/or memories compared to good events.

    It applies to a large range of memories and our ability to perceive danger. Evolutionary it makes sense because our embarrassing memories makes us afraid or unwilling to behave in a way that the social group doesn’t like.

    You can imagine when humans lived in societies in small groups of 30 people, that disrespecting someone could get you kicked out of the group and potentially starve to death in the wild. So there is a very strong evolutionary pressure that made your brain evolve to avoid repeating bad scenarios

    Your constant embarrassing, sad, or traumatic memories are your brain reminding you over and over not to be in that situation again.

    Unfortunately your brain didn’t evolve to be happy. It evolved to survive.

    All I wanted to explain is that these memories are not your fault. Don’t feel like you’re any different because you have bad memories constantly. Accept that your brain will do what it is programmed to do and learn how to work around those tendencies.

    And I could recommend trying another psychologist. I’m also available to chat if you’d like. Cheers 🙂


  • That’s a great comment. I go though basically the same steps with my constant flow of embarrassing and/or sad memories

    If they’re useful then maybe I should explore this thought for a little longer, or try to speak with someone

    If I have nothing to gain from it and it’s just making me cringe or sad I try to do something else to distract myself

    It’s important to not shut these memories down immediately. Some memories really need to be explored in order for you to properly leave them in the past. And you can bottle up a bunch of emotions if you refuse to think about thoughts that come to you constantly.





  • I guess they antagonize anyone that has moderate exposure using their IP

    In some countries copyright law says that if you let people use your copyrighted material with little to no impediment then you cannot suddenly request whoever is using your material to stop

    Let’s say that Nintendo allows fans to make fan made Mario games for 5 years. Then they suddenly sue everyone and say “hey you have to pay for copyright or shutdown”. A judge can decide that since they didn’t enforce their copyright for some time they cannot sue people that are using their IP.

    From a legal perspective the act of policing your own copyrighted material is the company’s responsibility. This law prevents companies from relaxing their copyright claims for years (essentially allowing people to use it) and then suing everyone for using their IP. In other words Just let everyone use it, then sue them. The law is there to prevent that

    Nintendo is likely super strict because “let people use your copyrighted material with little to no impediment” has room for interpretation in a court room. So they go to the conservative side and shut down everyone. Also consider that they’re right next to China. The piracy capital of the world. It’s not a surprise they’re scared about their copyright.

    I’m not saying that what they’re doing is right. It’s not. But I see where it comes from.



  • I understand that you’re angry. Sure the initial comment was slightly snarky, and yes, a lot of frustration is caused by a large lack of willingness to address men’s issues.

    But I’d just like you to find out what you want to achieve with your commentary.

    If your objective was to raise an argument and change someone’s mind, then starting a conversation with

    Stop pretending you know jack shit

    And

    STFU about your cope bullshit Will never convince anyone

    If you just wanted to express your anger, then I think it’s unjustified to direct it so intensely to the initial comment. The intensity does not match the casual tone of the comment and it’s uncalled for.

    Maybe you just wanted to spend some idle time by commenting on posts. Sure that’s fair, but considering the stress you put into this I’d say that’s probably a net loss for your mood

    That’s not what’s happening here

    Sorry if I misunderstood that. But your tone did not help with my understanding of your point

    The problem is that they brought up men’s rights issues in the most passive aggressive snarky way

    Sure I agree that the initial comment deserves some correction, but You will never get your point across by insulting someone. often to convince someone you should talk to them like they’re your friend. I know the insults might come more naturally than friendship, but respect is what effectively causes change.

    I’m just suggesting you use your energy and patience more efficiently

    I enjoyed this conversation, and hope you did too. Cheers


  • Hey, what’s up with the tone my guy? Message me if you need to talk fr

    Regarding the subject at hand,

    Evidently women still have many issues coming from male dominant culture formed before the industrial revolution, there has been good progress but there’s still a long path ahead.

    Men have issues coming from cultural norms too. imo the biggest hindrance for men at the moment is not nearly enough people talk about men’s mental health.

    MOST IMPORTANT NOTE IS:

    Promoting solutions for women doesn’t mean ignoring men’s issues.

    Promoting awareness to men’s issues is not against women’s interests.

    When someone is promoting progress, let’s not jump to “there are bigger problems elsewhere”

    If you want to promote change via debate, being aggressive is the worst strategy. Why not say “hey, I hear your argument for women, and on this note I’d also like to raise this other related subject about men’s issues.”

    That’s a win win conversation
