  • When you wanna watch something but for whatever reason using a big screen is inconvienient, would you just watch it on your phone or wait till you find the time to watch it on the big screen?

  • I watch stuff on my laptop in bed all the time. It’s the main reason I opt for a laptop over a desktop/tower PC.

    TIL: Suicide Rate in the United States Just Hit Highest Point in 75 Years

    Jump

  • There’s a growing body of scientific evidence that social media use contributes to depression, anxiety, and suicide in various ways. People here are playing touting their armchair psychology but this stuff has been studied by actual psychologists and sociologists. You can easily look it up.

  • The climate.

  • Should paternity tests be done right after a baby is born so the supposed father can be sure he’s the biological dad before any legal recognition?

    Jump

  • An alleged father can already refuse to accept the legal responsibility for a child.

    That doesn’t get him off the hook financially though. If the mother put his name on the birth certificate, he’d probably have to take a test to prove he’s not the biological father. And if he is, tough.

    This is why I support legal paternal surrender. As long as women have access to abortions (legal, easy, free), men should have the financial equivalent. That’s only fair.

  • Do you ever feel like you need to cry but can't?

    Jump

  • This is actually a very common problem in mental health. I would suggest getting yourself into therapy. Simple self-exploration can sometimes be enough to tear down those walls. You want a therapist who isn’t afraid to “poke,” as I call it; one who isn’t afraid of causing you to break down, because if they’re afraid of making you cry, they won’t be able to help you get over your fears of it.

  • I wouldn’t fuck with it personally, but I don’t judge those who do. Well, no, that’s not true, actually. I do kind of judge people who participate in it, whether providing or purchasing. That’s probably uncouth of me, but what can I say? I’m a product of my society and my time. I do, however, think it’s totally fine, if practiced correctly.

    Which is why I’m all for it being legal. If it’s legal, it can be much more reliably regulated, which is safer for all involved. We should not be banning human vices—that just creates crime. Instead, we should try to manage it and make it as safe as possible, whether you’re talking about sex, drugs, gambling, whatever.

  • That’s part of the reason I left. Moderation went insane. The slightest infraction got you permabanned from mainstream subs. Your post could be removed for amazingly technical reasons with no explanation at all for what rule you broke. The site just became impossible to use.

  • Much as it is now, just poorer. Not a lot poorer, but still.

  • When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one?

    Jump

  • I typically only replace my phones when they’re significantly worse than what a new, more modern phone would get me. So, that usually means when there are a bunch of new hardware features on the newer models or when the battery in my current phone is so old that it holds significantly less charge than it did when it was new.

  • If you could add one book to the required reading curriculum for people under 18, what would it be?

    Jump

  • Passion and Reason, by Richard and Bernice Lazarus. It’s a very accessible book about the connections between thoughts and emotions. Understanding what’s covered in it would save a lot of people a ton of confusion and social hardship in life.

  • People who identify as male/masculine, do you feel comfortable expressing your emotions/feelings to people irl? Do people who identify as female/feminine feel more comfortable espressing feelings?

  • Are You Emotionally Prepared To Die?

    Jump

  • This is an impossible question to answer with certainty for pretty much everyone. Maybe the extremely suicidal or the terminally ill, but likely not anyone else.

    Death (and our perceived relationship to it) changes with our proximity to it. So, being existentially and emotionally prepared for death when you’re young is very different from when you’re old, and from when death is pretty much imminent. I would wager even people who report a high degree of confidence that they are prepared for their eventual death are less so (and likely much less so) when they are facing imminent death. I imagine the number of people who don’t experience fear when their death is imminent is actually quite low.

    I have considered myself prepared for death for much of my adult life, but since sometime in my 30’s I have also accepted that I can’t predict my preparedness in the months-to-moments before I die. The existential threat of your existence ending is simply too dependent on its immediacy to be predicted with certainty ahead of time.

  • Guys, have you ever been asked this question: "If your mother and your girlfriend are both drowning, who would you save first?" How would you answer this question?

    Jump

  • If either my girlfriend/wife or my mother asked me that question, I would refuse to answer and instead ask them why they were asking it. I’d explain that that’s a very nasty question to ask because it’s a loyalty test, even if they don’t mean it as one, and it puts me in a very awkward position—why would they want to do that? I’d ask them to consider how they’d feel if either their mother or spouse asked them that.

    And if they didn’t immediately see my point, that would slightly lower my opinion of them, to be honest.
