Somewhat relevant, I really enjoyed this comment on lesser evilism: https://lemmy.world/comment/20970769

And I like what DB0 has to say about electoralism, but I can’t find the link I saved about it

It didn’t occur to me that the poll may function that way. Does it? I thought this was engagement bait in which the poll’s author lists only wrong answers as options

In 7th grade, my class was doing an exercise in which you describe yourself using a list of adjectives starting with each letter in your name. My last name ends in the letter H, so I described myself with 11 grandiose adjectives, followed by “and most of all: Humble.” I didn’t get a single laugh, so I just ended up sounding like a narcissist

PEMDAS isn’t obvious to “common people”? Why not? It doesn’t seem like an arbitrary convention to me…

If “×” means “groups of,” then “2+2×4” means “two plus two groups of four” which only makes sense, to me, to be read as “two plus two groups of four” rather than “two plus two groups of four”

Sure the order of operations could be arbitrarily different, but I feel like we settled on that order because it simply makes more sense intuitively.

I’m aware of the possibility that it only feels natural and intuitive to me because I was taught that way, but I at least don’t think that applies to this specific example

Did your TBI also cause damage to your left temporal lobe?

Edit:

I have edited the comment you replied to. Please tell me if this is easier to follow. They want to help you.

I looked at your posts. I don’t think you’re a troll. Your words can seem mean.

It seems you have some health issues. This helps me understand you better. I have friends with similar problems. When my friends struggle, they can sound like you sound, but they are good people.

I see you are upset about getting banned. You probably don’t like getting banned.

If you keep acting the same way, they will keep banning you. Your comments can annoy people. I understand why the moderators step in to help. They want to keep the community safe.

You need to change something. Please think more before you post.

You might try therapy, medicine, or other types of help to feel better.

If you want to avoid bans and deleted comments, you need to change how you act. The moderators won’t change, so you have to change.

I don’t know you. I don’t know what help you’re getting. I’m just a stranger. But I wanted to share this with you.

I’m curious what leads you to assume I must think you’re not on my side?

I got a similar reaction when I made this

I see certain shades of blue as grey, while my partner can distinguish more shades of blue than the average person, leaving me often feeling like I’m being fucked with

I wear almost exclusively grayscale clothing, except for a pair of pants that are apparently navy blue, and a shirt that’s supposedly slate blue

That’s awesome! I can’t hear ultrasounds, but I can hear electronics, which gets really annoying

Is this SatansMaggotyCumFart’s alt, or their nemesis?

Sounds like you’re annoyed that other versions of English exist. AAVE is valid

I bust those speakers with a knife or nail every time and it brings me such immense satisfaction to do so

Is the word “degenerates”?

Hi! Can you confirm for me whether this method renders right for you?

I actually don’t like the smell of tobacco, oddly enough. I just like the way cigarette smoke smells lol

I would use cigarettes as incense if it were safe and didn’t leave a permanent stank

Upvote for art classroom- that’s a great idea, and if that candle exists then I need it

feesh

I don’t act like that myself, but I don’t blame folks for not wanting to pull around. I was referring to my time as an employee working the drive thru

We did have an employee who weighed enough that she could just walk laps and trigger the pressure plate, but she was naturally reluctant to volunteer that service
