Reply to eli5 what is gaslighting? by beep_boop_3324
Gaslighting is telling someone something is true when it isn't, or isn't true when it is. The effect is basically to convince not to trust their own perception. This term comes from an old play in which a husband continually adjusted the gas-fueled lamps in their house to be dimmer and dimmer over time. His wife would complain about it and he would lie and say they were as bright as they'd ever been. The effect was to make her think she was crazy.

I'm not comparing the worth of humans her. But I'm going to go ahead and disengage with you because you're clearly hurt and wanting others to feel the same. Have a good day, i hope you feel better

Ok, being a dick about stuff is probably the right approach for results. You're right. I see people being badgered changing all the time.

I said it was bad and they needed therapy. The difference is my approach they might take seriously, your approach they will just defend and justify. You're the one enabling.

You have no idea what the trauma was. For all you know they were held and tortured by the Yakuza for ten years. When you lack information, compassionate accountability is a great approach

Being scared because of experience and association is a normal, human response. Not working through that with a professional is an immature one. Better qualifies as racism.

Trauma isn't the same as racism. Prejudice, certainly.
But yeah, OP needs to get to therapy or something. I understand trauma, but allowing yourself to shun an entire people is not a healthy response.

Reply to We buy fruits from the grocery store even though we can pick them from the trees ourselves. by hearsdemons
You just have to travel to the region of the world that tree grows on! Then, hope you don't get shot by the owner of said tree! Six days and 3800 miles later, you have yourself mango! Now, time to go milk the cow, harvest the other ingredients like sugar, mine for the salt, and i can finally make mango yogurt! Ah shit, the mango went bad during all my travelling and harvesting and farming.

We're not SUPER sure exactly, but it's kind of like how your phone needs to turn off to update. I would imagine your brain rewiring things significantly while you're awake would get REALLY weird.

Reply to comment by Geodad478 in Can we truly know the age of the universe? by Geodad478
Some observations: the masses of celestial objects are all moving away from each other, as if expanding. If they are moving away from each other, it's a pretty good assumption that, if we were to rewind that, at one point, they were all together.
Measuring the velocity with which they are moving is easy enough. So, coming up with a model for rewinding that (and how long that would take) is actually not the most complicated thing in the world. If we were to "rewind" it, it would take ~14 billion years. Of course, there may be some variables that effect that age, but most of the biggest ones (gravity, expansion, etc) are fairly easily observed and accounted for. So it is unlikely based off current observations that we are trillions of years off. Millions perhaps, but that's fairly small.

What data are you using to assert it has no effect on diabetics? A link between type 1 diabetes and depression has been established for years. This is contributing in that area.
