  1. Disappointing, but not unexpected. Have a look into: - Causal claims - Universal generalisations - Testing beliefs against counterexamples
  2. That's not what I want to do here. You need to have insight into this. Just reading the conversation that proceeded above I can see reason isn't enough to convince you. You need to investigate your beliefs and reasoning. How you came to this conclusion.
  3. So no evidence counters your theory? So it is impossible to falsify? You don't see a problem with this line of reasoning?
  4. @Someone here What did you genuinely expect to happen as a result of this post?
  5. I have done it. It has been fine. I remain close friends with two of them - unfortunately the third man was killed by a shark. But if not for that, I would be close with him. It appears like others experience of success still are not sufficient evidence to counter your belief. I am sorry.
  6. @blankisomeone What evidence would you need to establish that every single person who dies by suicide has unmet basic needs? What would count as evidence against your theory?
  7. I take a walk with music or no (depending on mood). No drive, push or force. Slow meandering in the woods, by the river. I let my mind wonder off and let my eyes focus on distant objects and horizons. No podcasts. Just air, water, trees and sound. Slow moving.
  8. Because it's an artificial limit. That's why. From your response, I gather you don't really understand what I am meaning.
  9. @Atb210201 I am sorry to hear you have this belief
  10. No. Too absolute. It can be done. You just have to be mature & realistic about it.
  11. Clear, easy. Prose flows. I think you avoid unnecessary verbosity and select the simplest most succinct words. The substance of the posts are complex enough without needing the additional cognitive labour of tracking a sentence with multiple commas, parenthesis or pauses. Short and sharp. I think the writing is most effective when you begin with super short sentences and gradually lengthen them. Unsure if this is consciously done, but it's impactful.
  12. @Zenterus I can erase it - if you hide it with the options panel this will also make disappear. Mods can reinstate at request
  13. Peaking at the club, sticky floors sweat and saucer eyes - wait for it 2:48
  14. WTF you can do this? Done. The database is huge now >.< Thanks heaps!
