Damn I was just about to say something like that @Chimi_Chuang_Tzu
I think genetics play a big part in it.
Reminds me of this quote:
Respect to a code veteran!
I just don't like the idea of telling people coding is hard because it primes your brain to make you think you can't do it.
I know people that won't even TRY to code because they think it's "too hard".
Such a sad state of affairs.
@Chimi_Chuang_Tzu @PapaPole @Tfmonkey
Exactly!
At what other time in history could you learn a FREE skill that could catapult you straight into a middle class income?
Yet people still debate me on this. In.sane.
I agree but I wouldn't rule out stupid as we don't know enough about them to say for certain. For all we know they could be vaxxed jootards.
On the bright side at least they're seeking guidance which means they have the self-awareness/mental strength to acknowledge they have a problem.
Which is a good start.
@37712 I don't really see what this proves.
Cato is an an old white guy from a long time ago so anything he says is null and void.
Any correlation to him or any incel philosopher is pure happenstance.
Sorry but I gotta hard disagree there.
In business big pharma lies and makes truckloads of money ex. Vaccine
in your personal life if you tell people the truth you will have no friends and everyone will hate you.
If you tell women the truth, you will be a lonely man.
If you tell the truth at your job you will soon be unemployed.
I still think authenticity is jmportant for your own sanity/self image long term.
But the tangible benefits/expediency of avarice is undeniable.
@37712 GENIUS!
@basedbagel be good friends with HR and become a trans woman. I have done exactly that and no one can touch me, not even the fat lesbian bitch at my work.
"Most likely because they're stupid."
Maybe so, TBH after this vax... I can't rule that out completely..
But I'm optimistic so I'd wager it's more a lack of clarity/guidance.
Once I got clear on who/what mattered in my life, alot of stuff that bothered me is WAY easier to deal with now i.e. discipline, social acceptance.
I argue alot with my dad but he helped alot with that
I still struggle with indifference to external validation but I'm hoping gets easier as you age.
@basedbagel In the Military we have a saying. "Praise in public. Admonish in private."
@Tfmonkey Funny you mention this as I was about to ask how you get all this shit done.
I don't think discipline/weakness is a product of IQ.
Discipline = clarity + self-control + urgency.
None of these necessitate a high IQ.
Take me for example: It took my gov trying to kill me for me to get the urgency to start my business.
Animations, memes, and philosophy.
ZERO TOLERANCE for:
TFM slander
LOW-IQ
