Resisting the urge to blow it away even though it’s a photo 😁

Interesting. In my experience WD has been shitty and SanDisk has been decent.

Nah I caught your “then”. I’ve become hyper aware of that one. Your Greman Brian ist interresant

Too smart for me!! /s

Imagine you’re at a party and there’s some idiot claiming to be smarter than everyone else. Imagine what you would want to say to them. Instead, you go home and tell others what a fuckhead you just met.

But you are that fuckhead.

Yeah this is just you adding a new spin to “I’m smarter than an entire field of study”: self righteousness

Lol the funny thing is that I literally didn’t even notice the spelling of “thenk” until now!

I appreciate the responses on two levels haha

Curious – what is your native language?

I took some prescription drugs to help with my very real depression and they didn’t work for me. You know how I responded? I stopped taking them. But I didn’t pretend that experience is not only exactly like everyone else’s, but also made me smarter than all the world’s mental health professionals combined. If I did think that way, it would make me pretty idiotic.

It is absolutely driving me bonkers. I think the two words will collapse into one over the next century if people don’t stop making this mistake. It’s so common and it irks me so!

Right, you’ve already told us you think in binary terms. Either psychology is a perfect science or its total bullshit. There could never be a case where any part of it is valid if any part of it were not. /s

Yeah, I get that saying people are fuckin stupid is dismissive and over simplified in a lot of cases… But it’s also still true and a factor, which adds to all the other factors you’re talking about. Ultimately I think if people were more educated and intelligent, they could overcome a lot of irrationality.

You seem like the type of person who cannot accept that things are complicated and multiple things can be true at once.

Interesting. Though I can’t say when Germany added it. I believe the 20s was when America started doing it, but according to a podcast I listened to recently, America was the first to start doing it. And also the effects of lead poisoning take decades to manifest.

I wanted to say there is some truth in what you’re saying but the more I read, the more clueless you sound. Depression is real, and drugs that fuck your sex life up are probably worse. I have a lot of bad days but good days, good art, and a well placed joint help. Just because a lot of the current understanding of depression is flawed or wrong doesn’t make it a fake made up condition. You probably aren’t depressed if you can say that. Being the kid who was always super sensitive, would cry for hours, and getting really sad just thinking about something briefly are all things I experienced which prove to me that depression is real. No one else in my family was suffering like that. And I could say I was of higher intelligence and that’s why, if I wanted to jerk myself off like you’re doing, but the truth is it’s a lot more complicated than that.

Of course animals suffer from depression. This isn’t something I need to prove to you. This comment just goes to show that you’re either not very observant in any context or you’ve never been to a zoo. And no dipshit, it doesn’t make zoo animals not depressed because humans cause it in the cases where it’s easiest seen. By virtue of us being human, of course those examples would be seen by us. Jesus Christ some people trip over themselves to hold an insanely wrong viewpoint.

Then is not than.

Then is not than.

Was the majority of the German voting public lead-poisoned in the 30s? I don’t think lead was even put in gas then. Those Germans almost certainly were not lead poisoned, and they put a monster into power.

I get wanting a good explanation, but in reality, it’s a simple but unsatisfying explanation. It applies to every country and every population in every era. People are fuckin’ stupid. Carlin said it best:

“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
