Opo

He has a ton of conspiracy theorists on his channel.

It's hard to isolate a specific thing because everything affects it and I'm not them. But if I had to id say pets, sports, friends and family played the big part of replacing that vacuum. If he likes animals getting him a pet could be a big source of love.

Sad. Could you tell the difference between someone who is genuinely happy vs someone who is faking it?

Argument?

@Preety_India Watch The Last Airbender, it's amazing Here is a thread that goes deeper into explaining it.

I would make it necessary for the psychiatrist to approve it. Maybe you also have to sign up for it and wait let's say a month, so it's not a mood swing. And make it easy to cancel.

Please watch subbed anime. You lose the soul of it in the dubbed version.

I have a neighbor that's for years saying how she wants to die. It's sad to see. I'd vote for this in a second.

The world needs more of this.

I've used this effectively. Be more passive so he doesn't get defensive. If you try to force it he will feel it. Just go inch by inch and have patience. Don't expect him to change completely in a single conversation. What I'll try in the future also is "have the balls to admit that you don't know". That stayed with me. But that only works on certain types.

I liked this little bit more humane perspective from vice. It made me think would I go fight if I was in their shoes and I can't find a clear answer. What would you guys do and why.

Have I hit a nerve?

That's such a lazy response. No one said he can't earn money. Joe Rogan made millions with a free podcast. He could open a patreon account, have sponsors that he likes..

If an eagle took a shit on their heads they would think it's God sending them signals. They are already gone, what's important is to stop exposing new people to that shit and this will help with that.

@Forestluv Do you think Russell will ever transcend orange and make his podcasts free? I love him but charging for podcasts makes me feel kinda weird. Maybe im spoiled.

Because most of the people agree with their decision. In order for people to start wanting to take away the power of Facebook they need to do something the people disagree with. For now they'll keep going down this road.

@datamonster How do you think people will recognize that the social media platforms need to be democratized if they don't fuck up in some way? To me this seems like a normal progress.

Lmao 3:42 "if we say stuff from the place of emotion, please give us a pass"

How? Taxes? Are you making an argument for a free market? It's because you are making weird assumptions.

Well, what do you propose we do? When west called them out, they pointed at the American borders. I propose we fix our own shit before we can effectively influence others. Nah this form government can deal with uprisings easily. I'd say they lose the richness of humanity when they try to make everyone the same. But they won't care about that I guess until a generation grows up in the safe and stable environment that they are trying to make now. If you grew up worrying about the next meal or a terrorist attack you won't care about someone's freedom of expression.

Why I want to stop progress?

America did the same thing to Natives. I bet they justified it the same way. It isn't "Chinese" or "American" it's low consciousness.

Thank you I know a few blind Trumpers I'll try it on. But even they probably know deep down that they are lying to themselves and won't accept the bet.

I don't understand what you mean. Could you explain more? Unrelated but it reminded me of solution for cigarettes. Increase the price by 100%. That was able to stop kids from starting and long-term that will be a huge benefit to the society.

@PurpleTree If someone made up a lie about your country and you corrected them. Would that be you defending your country?
