    How can I help get my friend clean from DRUGS?

    Jump

  • Just wanna point out that I chuckled a lot when I figured out you weren't actually helping your friend clean his rugs.

  • Of course, I didn't make some kind of point about the general use of GUIs and CLIs, I just said that GUIs are much faster if you can't remember commands, which is the problem in this thread.

  • True of course. If you look at my comment though, I haven't said that speed is the point of the command line. Just that Linux users are obsessed with it. For most users most of the time, the repetition/automation is not the point and ability to write scripts is not the most important thing. And you can combine tools with GUIs as well, it's just slower. Same with reliability, GUIs don't have to be and usually aren't unreliable, so command line only has the automation and speed going for it.

    you only need to remember few letters of the command

    I believe that is exactly the problem in this thread. The command history only works if you remember in the first place.

  • Would you rather be smart, or beautiful?

  • If I'm very smart, I could just use my intelligence to make money and then get beauty surgery.

  • Use GUIs for all the things.

    Linux users are obsessed with the command line because it's faster if you can type fast and remember everything. If you can't, GUIs are actually much much faster because you are visually guided towards what you're looking for and have to spend little time looking for the correct commands and syntax and everything.

  • Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?

    Jump

  • Ah I see!

    So you're essentially saying that instead of asking women to smile, I should also ask them to get their tits out for me to gawp at!

    Thank you :)

  • How to get past this

    Jump

  • For me, I came to terms with this by learning more about human nature and behavior and realizing that, in essence, we're incredibly flawed beings with only a minimum of accidental rationality. That it's absolutely not natural for us to "make sense" in a logical way, that truth doesn't matter to us, that we are all incredibly selfish.

    And that working against this nature to a "better" (in quotation marks on purpose, who really knows what's better) state of mind and behavior requires massive amounts of dedication, conviction and constant effort, which most people simply don't understand or can't be bothered to do.

    That humans/I have a natural desire within them/me to band together for survival purposes. This includes loyalty to family and feeling bad about being estranged to them.

    That our emotions are just motivators making us do things that were/are useful for survival.

    That we also have a great capacity for adaptation, which also helped us to survive.

    And finally, to put it all together, that I can use my skills of adaptation to change my feelings about things after understanding them and deeming them not beneficial to me. So in other words, I use mindfulness techniques, my natural propensity for rationalizations, training/practice through repetition, my selfishness, etc, etc, to change my behavior/thoughts/feelings to a state I'd like to be in.

    This is imo only possible with serious study of all these interactions and years of reprogramming yourself, which you have to decide how worth it is for you. In my opinion, it's ultimately worth it for everyone, because I went from a state of deep unhappiness to a state of deep happiness/content, which is a massive quality of life improvement.

    However, I also realize that because of all of this, I myself could just be talking bullshit and be just as or even more flawed than anyone else, so you can probably safely disregard any advice I give or things I say :D

    Edit: oh yeah, and to give a superficial answer: fuck family/people, stupid people are not worth having around and making your life worse just because of some arbitrary tradition/feeling of loyalty/peer pressure. My dad is nowhere as bad as yours and I still don't really care about interacting with him, and I like it that way.

  • Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?

    Jump

  • The main reason US can and could ever delude itself into being great is for having a ridiculous people-to-land/resources ratio. There is nothing inherently great about how the US does things, it just seems that way because you can do whatever you want if you have essentially infinite resources compared to everyone else.

  • It's really hard to give you any advice if we don't know you. It'd really require a longer conversation talking about you and your life, the situations you've been in, and so on.

    If you'd like, we could have that conversation, just tell me.

  • Can being othered and isolated from society stunt growth?

    Jump

  • This sequence of events is what happened to me, and the othering caused me to isolate myself and feel inadequate, and the isolation and feeling of being inadequate caused me to try to improve so I'm not inadequate anymore, which finally resulted in much larger growth than anyone else I grew up with.

    Now, the question of course is, would I have grown even more if I hadn't been othered and then isolated myself as a reaction...

  • Can being othered and isolated from society stunt growth?

    Jump

  • What is it, othered or isolated? Can't really be both, if you are othered, you're inside society and interacting with it, if you're isolated, you can't be othered because you're isolated and there's no one there to "other" you.

  • Isn't psychopathy already including this "new" pattern? The psychopaths I've known have never been "overt" psychopaths, they've always disguised themselves as nice and considerate.
