Agreed. This is a waste of fucking time for as long as the pedophile death cult is at large.

I think the only way we can heal as a nation is if we publicly hang every complicit party in the National Mall until their bodies fall and burst on the pavement.

I think there’s room for both!

Though, I much prefer the interconnected design of DS1. It almost treats the world as an enemy, and your reward for beating each phase is easier traversal.

Elden Ring is great, but the first time I explored the world of DS1 was like the first time I played Ocarina of Time as a child.

He would have done the same to you, if given the chance

You should have not posted it to YSK. It’s not the community for it.

You should also have revisited your thesis statements, which were:

“The way everything makes you happy is the same.”

and

“Furthermore, the more things you experience that makes you happy, the harder it will become for you to be happy because your standards will increase each time.”

I was able to understand what you were trying to say through it all, but those were the main points you were communicating with the structure of your post there.

That second point is really poorly constructed, because it kinda implies that every new happy experience slightly ruins the others. It also implies that someone can construct a series of events that ever-increase in happiness provided. Which is not the case, even when using drugs. Every drug user has a crash point.

Again, you need to clarify what you are trying to say and be precise with your language. Trying to touch on deep subjects in a vague way makes it seem like you haven’t thought much about it, and is why you’re getting backlash.

I am. Not only do many of them very calmly disagree, there’s also several break down each part of what you’re saying and why they disagree.

Some of them are also being mean, and that also does not mean they disagree in bad faith. People that are nice to you can be wrong, and people who are mean to you can be right.

You have some growing to do.

Modern locks utilize sets of spring-loaded brass pins to function.

As seen in the diagram, the key raises the bottom pins in the pin stack to the shear line so that the cylinder plug may turn, activating or deactivating the locking mechanism.

These pins come in different lengths, and can be swapped out to change the key. That’s how they mass manufacture locks that aren’t all on the same key. It’s the same line for lock cylinders, but they use different pins and keys in assembly.

That said, there are only so many combinations of depths a key can have. Most residential keys have 5 cuts, and each cut has around 7 possible depths. So, the combinations aren’t infinite but they are varied enough that a large residential area, all using the same type of lock, shouldn’t have any repeats. And if it does, who’s going around testing their key in every door?

A lock only keeps an honest person out. The point of a lock is to make it too much of a hassle for a potential thief to bother breaking in.

I do that, but use the d-pad for the righty stick.

I actively mistrust people who don’t behave that way in an argument. If your response upon finding yourself to be wrong is something other than admitting you were wrong and correcting yourself, you can’t be trusted to set your ego aside.

Scroll through all of the comments again.

Stop, think for a second.

Is “people are only disagreeing with me because they are offended” the most sensible take on this discussion, or could there be other reasons that people disagree with you?

There are so many different types of drugs though.

Psychedelics are typically classified as drugs, for instance. Mushrooms show long term benefits after a single use, MDMA is closer to a stimulant dopamine blast, and LSD has been described as just fun. That’s a lot of variance in one category, but I still wouldn’t say people that do acid generally have issues with chasing quick highs compared to people that munch shrooms.

YSK: youshouldknow is for helpful facts, not philosophy.

Overall, like, I don’t disagree? But I think your use of the term “everything in the world” is just a little vague here. It seems you mean products, like a new Taco Bell menu item. But experiencing “everything in the world” is a valuable part of how our brains grow, and I will always tell people to seek that out.

Your philosophy rests upon the assumption that people who want to try everything all do so in a desperate bid for happiness, but that’s really just not true.

Addicts can fall into consumerism to get their dopamine kick. Which, to your credit, I think is the point you’re trying to make.

But the points about different types of food… it’s not just about squeezing dopamine out? There’s a beautiful world of cuisines and flavors. Cooking is a skill, and learning to cook something outside of your wheelhouse is extremely satisfying.

Nevermind the fact that all foods don’t make you happy the same way. Are you telling me that if I slid a dish of some unrecognizeable organ meat stew toward you, you’d lap it up with the same voracity as you would your favorite meal from childhood?

Dopamine is one of the mechanics our brain uses to reward us for doing things that help us, it’s not some evil thing that has to be kept in a cage. It just shouldn’t be chased for its own sake.

Your example of the rats on cocaine paints a picture of why people should try new things. Those rats have fallen into a repetitive, self-destructive behavior, and are only consuming cocaine because they’re chasing dopamine and it’s giving diminishing returns, so they focus on more drugs over food. The same way people addicted to consumerism focus on new product to fill the void over real growth and contentedness.

You could even get in the habit of only eating the same thing over again, as new things just don’t give you that same feeling. We see this with hyperprocessed foods a lot. Anecdotally, most people I’ve met know an adult that only eats chicken nuggets. Which is also not good for you, as our bodies need a variety of nutrients that we historically get through different types of food.

Overall, I can see what you’re trying to get at. But you need to refine and focus your points. It also seems that you’re addressing too broad an audience, this is for consumerism addicts and people struggling with depression. But please refine your statement before trying to address those groups.

YSK local laws may vary. For instance, we cannot use electronic noise amplification devices (megaphones, etc.) in my area due to local law.

Omfg I just watched this elsewhere. Also it’s free. How kind of them.

I think this is just trying to put a good spin on it before any privacy concerns come up.

Fuck you. reshades your nightshade

Splendid! I love the Larry series, and I haven’t seen many recent Al Lowe interviews!

Cruel and unusual punishment much?
