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.

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

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.

Another thing that I can think of would be an automatic addition of "www", but damn... I love these riddles.

Have you tried in both browsers capitalizing the first letter?

I am still more impressed with the "doesn't heat up" part

All I'm saying is, that he would make for much more interesting story in a medieval world then the post-nanotech one.

I get it, Cyclops is a walking nuclear reactor... It's a mutation

I get it also, that his eyelids are capable of absorbing the death star.It's a mutation.

What I don't get is how did they manage to create translucent glass capable of letting all of the external light through, while also holding back a fucking star without heating up to a level that would damage the skin on his face.

You will never understand the so called horror of AI driven targeted ads until you get fired, and start getting job offers while doom scrolling the same day.
