deadken is just smart enough to stifle the communism enough to appeal to liberal publications, so as to actually have a career, and just stupid enough to want a career

it's the only acceptable way to show affection. this has the intended consequence that no one can really be hurt, only passive aggressively complimented. a powerful feature that brings joy and peace of mind.

yeah but it is important to feel hurt sometimes, it's like literally one of if not the most fundamental mechanism for survival
i won't let you infect me with your irony poisoning, I won't
stuff can be more than one thing.
what if instead of trying to distance yourself from pain and desperately avoid feeling it, you instead allowed yourself to fully feel it, thus creating the possibility to let it go and make room for feeling anything else at all?
i mean idk, w/e im just spitballing over here

because ending the future possibility for that pain to be inflicted on others takes priority over sparing myself (especially since i live in a culture that offers many avenues to spare myself at the expense of others,) and because experience teaches me that pain can't be reversed, you can only build new useful structures over a foundation of suffering that has passed. "healing" is only possible with the elimination that which caused the wound, until then my own personal growth only has value to the extent that it can further this goal.
i don't think there's a major disagreement here, this isn't really a conflict about about praxis, just about visualization/contextualization of suffering?

i mostly agree except that there are some forms of pain that can be reduced/eliminated and some that can't, and i think figuring out how to feel the difference between them is critical

that sounds probable, but because i think about suffering and emotions a lot i have a tendency to sometimes get kinda pedantic. but you will just have to forgive me, you have no other choice

i don't mean to be overly critical but our agreed formatting for posts that are not lazy unedited one-liner catchphrases is to quote one large unbroken paragraph and respond with another large unbroken paragraph preferably with multiple embedded links no one will click on. point by point breakdowns are rare and may be met with open hostility, derision, or psychological meltdown

They created an election subforum for D&D, but now there is a race subforum as well. I predict no issues will arise.
