What's something that you thought was normal but in hindsight wasn't?
I always thought family bonding activities were just filler on TV and never happened in real life lol.
Come to find out a decade later not only do people do family bonding activities but they enjoy it?!
Life is strange
@FinalDresdonation @basedbagel
I see family as people with different mindsets and only share family bond.
So many people avoid it.
It would be like after work meeting with coworkers you do not enjoy.
Because they do not share your mindset, goals and believes.
Hardly you can talk to them other than work stuff.
So many people do not enjoy it.
Most of the time it is women who love this and men would rather stay at home.
> they do not share your mindset, goals and believes.
Its the curse of knowledge. The more you improve and get wiser the more unrelatable you become.
> Most of the time it is women who love this and men would rather stay at home.
Sadly I see many men these days enjoying company get togethers because it's the only time they get a modicum of respect.
I think women like it because they can gossip without having to pretend they're working
@basedbagel @Stahesh @FinalDresdonation
Curse of knowledge last time I read wikipedia if I remember correctly is that
You can not predict what someone who does not have your knowledge about something that you have will do or think differently because of their missing knowledge
For example if you are a gem sales person and know the knowledge of a gem's typical sales price in the present market you can not predict what someone without that knowledge will think it is typically sold for
@basedbagel I really thought it was normal 1) to tell the truth and 2) to be able to reason through something ahead of time and see the most likely end scenario based on the information available. I was maybe in my mid-20s before I realized not everyone could do this. Seems silly now.

Same. It's absolutely wild how much credit I gave people before really understanding what "theory of mind" is and how it fucks with everyday interactions and assumptions.
I'll bet most people here still seriously underestimate the number of complete retards out there (looking at you @VeganMGTOW 😉 ).
Here's a reminder.
@UncleIroh > It's absolutely wild how much credit I gave people before really understanding what "theory of mind" is
@RoninGrey @FinalDresdonation @Stahesh @Mongoliaboo @VeganMGTOW
I'm ashamed to admit The amount of time Ive wasted trying reason with people whose minds are impervious to logic.
> complete retards out there (looking at you @VeganMGTOW 😉 ).
Shots fired !😂
@basedbagel @UncleIroh @RoninGrey @FinalDresdonation @Mongoliaboo
Only what could make sense is that @VeganMGTOW is Indian.
But he hate cows and dairy so there is another problem.
@Stahesh @basedbagel @UncleIroh @RoninGrey @FinalDresdonation @Mongoliaboo @VeganMGTOW
Israel only pretends to be vegan friendly for propaganda reasons when they sacrifice humans and other animals in their religious practice
@Stahesh @basedbagel @RoninGrey @FinalDresdonation @Mongoliaboo
Being a pajeet would make sense, especially if he had cow-based trauma in early life.
@VeganMGTOW - do any of these pictures bring up memories?
@UncleIroh @Stahesh @basedbagel @RoninGrey @FinalDresdonation @Mongoliaboo I am not from India so I guess it doesn't bring me memories
@VeganMGTOW @UncleIroh @basedbagel @RoninGrey @FinalDresdonation @Mongoliaboo If he is not alien from last raid on area 51.
I will give up. Because I am losing a logical options.🤣
@Stahesh @basedbagel @UncleIroh @RoninGrey @FinalDresdonation @Mongoliaboo Well if you consider Israel basically Is in a desert and they have to be smart in water management I won't discard they eat a heavy plant Based Diet cause that Diet consume 1000 order of magnitude less water than The omnivore one.
@basedbagel I would say people not sharing information with next generation
Like kid you wanted to be adult and go to work
But people tell you adulthood is not that good so you do not think much about it. Because they do not say why
When you become adult you get to know how adulthood is f up
Another thing is so many lies and fairytales
This is reason why many kids end with bad profession.
They become for example artist with no future or random profession they do not like with no employment
@basedbagel Is because everyone have a least 3 kids so they gather for The kids do kids stuff but today kidless generation there Is no need to have family meetings
@basedbagel You have to already have healthy family bonds before family bonding activities can be enjoyable.
I thought the father filling a fatherly role was normal. Then I met a number of people, and discovered that one was a stay-at-home father while his wife earned the money, and the other was childless but dependent on his wife and his mother. They were not keeping it hidden, either. It is more acceptable now to be a man-wife than to be a husband with authority.
Depends on the family
@basedbagel Yeah, family reunions don't seem so normal now with how many people I know that just stopped going to theirs.
