I am happy to hear that.
The uncontrolled tribal culture the young kids have to live in is not something I would wish on any child.

I cannot be the only one who noticed, that mentally unstable homeless people tend to have the calmest and best trained dogs under the sun.

I guess it's purely, because they spend 100% of their time with them... Kinda makes me think about the way we raiseour kids though.

Unironically, I had to explain this to 3 different millenial managers at my last job.

But also, kind of worse, since I repeatedly told them, that I am happy to specialize in "whatever the company needs". they couldn't understand I didn't have my career planned out several reassignments ahead.

She might be hyper, but she absolutely doesn't sound deep.

So, I doubt she pulled any of the useful Autistic cards.

Today PirateSoftware volunteered to let himself be lynched by a youtuber psychiatrist for a few hours and almost cried several times as he was called a arrogant narcissist, only to be pacified moments later for another gut punch by having his ego stroked just a bit each time.

@Aldo2
Bro, I asked you because I wanted to know your anwser without reading through pages of shilling for pedophilia. There was no gatcha.

Are you paranoid or something?

@Aldo2
Now a "serious question" for you vaushie...

Since the begining of the culture war 15 years ago, was there some assumption about the right, that turned out to be wrong on a philosophical level?

@LukeAlmighty because self help involves thinking for yourself, not blindly trusting authorities. not doing this questions their world.

@Sophistifunk @bonifartius
Yeah, I know exactly who you mean, because I spent a lot of time listening to the scammers too.

But, I didn't throw money at them. I am not retarded. Instead, I watched their videos, since the videos were literally the same self help concepts that I actually needed well summerized.... and then the idiot bait at the end.

When someone explains to you budgeting, fixed vs variable expenses etc, does it really matter to you, that there is an idiot bait at the end?

@boloros
I couldn't possibly call The Secret a self help book, since it is purely about magic and universe manipulation. Therefore, it falls under "esoteric literature", and that entire section is a crime against humanity :

Yes, burning books is a good thing

@MK2boogaloo
Thank you for wasting my time with that post.

Yes, I did hear the good news of Jesus Christ ressurection.

No, Pointing at a tree, telling me it's a proof of god's existence didn't change my mind.

Yes, the 34th recomendation of the Bible this year was truly important for me to know the book exists.

@Justicar
I guess that is one thing about autism. I am not sure there were any crabs in my bucket to begin with :D

> People wondering, why I spend over a decade of my life obsessed with self help content.

> The same people wondering, how is it possible, that I somehow managed to get through all the trauma with next to no obvious symptoms.

Gee, I wonder why. And to be honest, my main issue is mainly just how insanely vilified the concept of self help actually is. Whenever I hear it mentioned, it is either "They are all trying to scam you out of all your money", or worse "muh alpha men".

I don't get it. Why is it so wrong, that "12 rules for life is only repeating the most common sense topics" when noone is actually living up to them? The point is to make you question aspects of your life, and inspect if you can fix them. Yet, so many people get triggered to rage from the suggestion.
