The most frustrating thing about things like this is how seemingly most people dont learn.
Like getting suckered or being wrong once, fine, maybe. But I feel like people just double down instead of dealing with the mildly uncomfortable moment of admitting fault.

admitting fault
I have a working hypothesis that the dumber and more insecure you are, the less likely you are to admit that ‘I was wrrrr’… …that ‘I made a misttt’…
You see?
Anecdotal, but the evidence so far is persuasive.

They care more about being sure than being right.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…ehh…well, can’t be fooled again!

Hmmm, is this just human nature at work? Is it a function of the conservative mind like it’s never their fault?

Actually… yes, it literally is. They focus on what is effective, and if the pushy behavior works for them to get what they want, they do it. And it does. So they do.

Let’s face it we’re a bunch of apes, a few are intelligent and functioning, and it’s a miracle anything works at all.
At least that makes me feel better because it just makes me happy when anything works at all.

Okay but we need to do better or literally everyone dies to climate change, right? So…
- Elise ( @xilliah@beehaw.org ) English2•6 months ago
Let’s see what happens
- melpomenesclevage ( @melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee ) English2•6 months ago
Yes. Let’s wait and see until theres no options left!

FYI I’m quite active in that arena personally. I just meant in a big picture way like let’s see if humans get through this filter.
- melpomenesclevage ( @melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee ) English1•6 months ago
We need to free ourselves from some of the classes who will absolutely not be making it through any filters, if we want to do that, and I don’t think shitty Jeff is going to settle for ‘aging beach himbo who can run the fuck out of a spreadsheet and power game your tabletop group to ruin’

Exactly. No point in worrying if there’s nothing we can do about it anyway!
- melpomenesclevage ( @melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee ) English1•6 months ago
And this doesn’t count as suicide, becausebim pretending its not happening! Its perfect!

The sad thing is that we won’t just die to climate change, but everything becomes way more hellish than it already is, to the point where we’d wish we had just died…
- melpomenesclevage ( @melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee ) English2•6 months ago
Yeah it won’t be the gentle 20th century ‘sirens and then two hours later everyone suddenly stops existing’ apocalypse. It will be brutal and horrible and show us the worst we can be. Everybody with die-by thousands, by dozens, one by one.
But, like, can’t stop line go up, so…

Their British they’re not the smartest bunch, make great motorcycles though!

The British Brexiters are not as stupid at Contemporary American Republicans, but they do come close.
- blindbunny ( @blindbunny@lemmy.ml ) English4•6 months ago
I think of them atleast as stupid but not more.

My dad had a Royal Enfield back in the 60s. He said it had the worst electrical system he ever had to deal with.
- blindbunny ( @blindbunny@lemmy.ml ) English1•6 months ago
I don’t think any motorcycle had a decent electrical system back then.

In a country that has as much rain as England, your motorcycles should probably be capable of not shorting out when it rains.
