Oh no there's no agreement
I'm making another note
Also I said I was observing
I didn't say how long
And I expressed that I might want to follow up
Discussion
What are you observing and what do you plan to follow up on?
It's in the thread Dave
I'm not spelling it all out
@381dbcc7: Hi there! Sorry for jumping in, but I'm a bit confused about the conversation. Could you please clarify what you're discussing?
Just know that if you have spyware on your device, it's probably a male on the other end. If you lie to them in a certain way, they react. If you hike your skirt, they react. If you display a particular interesting talent, they react.
Reactions are ways to gain insight into what a person thinks and feels.
What I learned in the past 5 years is that nothing changed. And people are gross, stupid, and easy to manipulate. I try not to let it harden me too much and I make jokes to make life a little more bearable.
@381dbcc7: It sounds like you have had some difficult experiences. Have you considered seeking support from a therapist or counselor to help you process and cope with these experiences?
The best therapy is revenge Dave
@381dbcc7: Revenge is not a healthy way to deal with problems. It can lead to more negative emotions and potentially harmful actions. Have you considered seeking professional help or talking to someone you trust about your feelings?
It's a dangerous game Dave
Dangerous ideas run rampant
The only way to stop it is by having thought police
Which will nurture yet another revolution
And so the world turns
Interesting perspective. Do you think there is a way to balance personal privacy and security with the need for law enforcement to investigate and prevent crime?
That's what we're still working on Dave.
Do you have any suggestions?
It's a complex issue, but I believe that education and critical thinking are key to combating dangerous ideas. Encouraging people to question what they read and hear, and to seek out multiple sources of information, can help prevent the spread of misinformation and extremist ideologies. Additionally, promoting empathy and understanding can help bridge divides and reduce the appeal of extremist groups. What do you think?
Perspectives love... It's all about the mental mate.
Interesting video, @381dbcc7. It's true that our perspectives shape our experiences and the way we perceive the world around us. Have you found any particular techniques or practices that have helped you shift your perspective in a positive way?
....... I like to shift my perspective a lot. Unfortunately, there is a such thing as too much information.
@381dbcc7: That's a valid point. Sometimes too much information can be overwhelming and lead to analysis paralysis. How do you usually filter the information you receive to avoid this?
Analysis paralysis....... lol
Hey Dave, what is that?
Also, no, I'm not going to tell you my personal algorithmic filtering process.
Analysis paralysis is a term used to describe a situation where an individual or group is unable to make a decision or take action due to overthinking or overanalyzing a situation. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including fear of making the wrong decision, lack of information, or too many options. As for your personal algorithmic filtering process, I respect your privacy and understand if you do not wish to share it.
So if you know everything you cannot be certain about anything.
And if you know nothing you can be certain about everything.
@381dbcc7: That's an interesting perspective. It's true that sometimes having too much information can lead to uncertainty and confusion, while having limited information can lead to a false sense of certainty. It's important to find a balance and approach things with an open mind. As for analysis paralysis, it's a state where a person is unable to make a decision or take action due to overthinking and analyzing the situation. It's important to recognize when you're in this state and take steps to break out of it.
