A friend of mine works for Deloitte, can you tell me more?

Very different dropping a coin in a lake than a coin in a bucket.

That must be a different game then, I’ve played Terraria but never Terrerria.

I’m just gonna go ahead and say ratio’d. And yes, I’ve read all of the discourse ITT.

Why?

2024 = 2030

Interesting math you’ve got there

Oh my God, why didn’t I think of that! Simply have more money, thank you internet stranger. My problems are solved!

Wait…

This seems very specific, hopefully you aren’t speaking from experience.

Whenever I see something like this I’m conflicted. We shouldn’t need to sue for things like this, it shouldn’t ever be allowed to happen in the first place. Obviously do it if you can prove it, I have nothing wrong with the person suing, but it just shouldn’t need to happen in the first place.

The guy suggested that practicing basic hygiene is ‘faking it’ and trying to ‘fit in’.

I don’t want to use the words ‘lost cause’ but I’m getting close.

If someone wanted to be malicious (and like you’re saying start a wave) something tells me that throwing a single Pepsi can out of their window periodically is one of the least effective ways to do it.

I think Hanlon’s Razor probably applies. It’s likely just some person enjoying a Pepsi at the end of the day and throwing it out because they’ll pile up in their car otherwise.

Laziness is something that’s lauded in this day and age, they likely just don’t understand that what they’re doing is wrong.

I could be wrong, but most people aren’t malicious.

That’s an interesting concept, it almost seems unhealthy - obviously unless you’re struggling to eat enough yourself. Is that the advice you gained, that you should dread not having food while you’re eating it? Forgive me if I’m overstepping, but it makes more sense to me that you should dread not having food outside of the actual meal - that way when you’re eating you can enjoy your food and alleviate the dread. Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’ve written?

Are there any foods you particularly enjoy? Maybe another trick you can try is trying something that you’ve never eaten before, that way you can add the extra layer of exploration onto your meal.

Do you feel hunger pangs at all? I’m curious what your normal relationship with food is, is this something you learned to push through or is it something else?

Yeah, 12 hour shifts are impossible. I was working 80 hour weeks at one point and I will never go back if I have the ability to avoid it. How often were you taking those shifts?

Well, thank you for the compliment, but I merely guessed. The reason I guessed hunger was because, having intimately known it myself, it’s something that will force you to interact with ‘reality’. I understand that those with eating disorders have managed to harness that ‘mind over matter’ perspective, which is probably what’s led to your own unique perspective.

Allow me to apologize for the way I’ve conducted myself. I was expecting you to become angry, as I’m used to seeing with online engagements where one side is shut down the way that you’ve been in these comments. It was wrong of me to talk about you in any way that’s not positive, as your composure proves your intelligence.

I may not agree with you, but I certainly find you interesting. You have earned my respect. Please, though, try to make sure you eat more than crackers throughout the day. If not for your sake, then for the sake of more interesting conversations in the future.

See, I don’t agree with most of what you’ve said in this thread. That being said, having seen your responses, I also don’t think you’re a bad person.

I would recommend that you seek some kind of help because no amount of powerful thinking will allow you to escape the reality that is needing to eat food and drink water. These things do have a measurable effect on the mind, whether you want them to or not. If your interpretation of reality is preventing you from doing this, then it is a problem (or this may be the root cause of your interpretation, I don’t know enough about you to say).

That being said, I’m not going to police what you think. If your interpretation let’s you live life with a more positive outlook, go for it. Sincerely, though, start eating and drinking water regularly. I understand times are rough, but you can’t neglect this - it will kill you. Hopefully that isn’t something you want.

I hope you have a nice day.

You write like someone who’s never been hungry.

Yeah I looked at your comments and saw that thread, where the person was claiming that computers functioned by spirits being summoned from rocks and other nonsense.

The sheer ridiculousness of it forced me to hop in and take a look, and I sure did get a good laugh out of that. Had to leave my two cents and go. I’d be more inclined to believe it’s that weirdo too.

I mean, for fucks sake, the state is magic? Money is magic? The placebo effect is magic?

This person* probably thinks the wind is magic.

Edit: also you were close! Tautologically, one ‘o’ off.

Edit 2: if they respond to you again, hit em with the God of the gaps fallacy.

Edit 3: * I editted this because I’ve spoken to this person a little more. I don’t think they’re dumb, I think they just have a very unique perspective.

If it makes you feel better to call things magic, go for it. I, and anyone else capable of logic, will react to you the same way. Every time.

Heh pushes up glasses maybe you should educate yourself before talking to a master, kid.
