Yes, you can actually “brainwash” yourself this way. Every time you remember something, you’re basically rewriting the memory into your brain. So every time you remember something, it becomes less reliable as it has more chances of being corrupted by new information.

So if you remember a childhood memory, then for some reason you add a detail that wasn’t there before, that’s the new memory.

Example: you remember going to the zoo as a kid, and you remember seeing a monkey. Then your mom shows you a photo album of your trip to the zoo, and in it, there’s a picture of you watching a lion.

Next time you remember that trip to the zoo, you’ll probably remember seeing a lion too, even though originally you didn’t at all.

Memory is incredibly unreliable.

Have you tried an image search lately? It’s fucking terrible. It’s all AI generated crap. They need a filter to filter out any AI generated image.

This doesn’t eliminate the paradox. Why does the contract exist in the first place?

It’s a moral standard. If moral people didn’t decide that tolerance was a good thing for society, the contract wouldn’t exist.

So yes, thinking about it as a contract sidesteps the paradox, but the paradox still exists.

So Karl Popper was still right and society shouldn’t tolerate the intolerant.

Piracy is the best thing that happened to anime. Without it, anime and Japan wouldn’t be nearly as popular.

They’re shooting themselves on the foot. People discover anime and manga through piracy, and then if they love it, they end up spending money on it.

Just look at Berserk. I bet 90% of people who spent money on the mangas and all the deluxe editions discovered it through “illegal” means.

But why undertake this elaborate millinery? One study published in 2016 investigated this question by holding trials involving the caterpillars and their natural predators — spiders and stink bugs. The researchers found that attacks on larvae with a stack of headcases took more than 10 times longer than attacks on larvae that had had their stack removed. They found that the empty head capsules acted as a false target for predators and could also be used to deflect the piercing rostrum of a predator.

This is incorrect. This is not a healed scar at all. That’s a very fresh burn wound exposing the flesh underneath without the melanin layer.

You can literally see the wound is fresh and is peeling off. Not a healed scar.

Go look up healed burn scars on black skin. The images can be pretty gruesome, but the melanin mostly returns.

Biologists would never say that. At least not any biologist worth their salt.

There’s no nurture or nature. It’s both.

But sometimes you have to invade to defend.

How would you defeat Hitler without invading Germany or all the countries he occupied?

Looks to be around the beginning of the 90s or late 80s.

Yeah, but you still have a 99.999…% chance of not getting your dick amputated on any given day as a Brazilian.

It’s still a minuscule chance of getting your dick amputated due to penile cancer. Penile cancer itself is extremely rare. Less than 0.01% chance.

“NewsBreak”, a free app with roots in China that is the most downloaded news app in the United States.

Never heard of it. Hard to believe it’s the most downloaded news app. I guess I’m out of touch.

Turning 43 this year if you take the common 1981 as the cut-off.

Meh. Your value as a human isn’t tied to your accomplishments (be it having a family or getting a high paying job) or productivity.

This whole thing of “striving as a honed skill” sounds like hustling culture and capitalist brainwashing. In fact, I would say it takes more skill to actually be content with your life and not feel the constant need to strive to be someone better or do something more.

You seem to think that unless you’ve done something, you’re worthless.

It seems that according to your view, a homeless person without a family is completely worthless.
