Is the post about feelings, though? Or beliefs that you spread through discussions and social media posts? Even if you can't control your beliefs either, you can control what you tell people. I'm drawn to doomerism myself, but I can see the arguments for not preaching it - hinders fighting.

Aha! Böcker/film/TV vs rollspel, då är jag med.

Exakt! En kompis skrev att marskommunisterna får stoppa månnazisterna från att ta över världen ...

When the USSR fell here on Earth, it stayed strong on Mars. They're still doing their own thing up there. And they have their own nukes!
If Musk or NASA get too close, the Martian USSR will blast them out of the sky!

Relaterat: Hela fältet "philosophy of madness" och alla galna filosofer som använder just filosofi för att stötta upp det egna psyket, visar ju att det inte går att dra en skarpa gräns mellan psykisk hälsa å ena sidan och filosofi å den andra ...
Men många VILL nog tro på en sån gräns.

"Filosofer" är ingen enhetlig grupp. Torbjörn Tännsjö har kritiserat det hela både hårt och ganska slarvigt. Andra, som Kalle Grill och psykologen och filosofidoktoranden Ida Hallgren, har försvarat idén. Åter andra (William Bülow tror jag) har kritiserat det korrupta utan att kritisera begreppet.

Looks interesting!
Pet peeve: people who go "mental health problems are so stigmatized, why is that? Physical health problems aren't considered shameful!"
There's so much wrong here it's hard to know where to start, but ... talking of "physical health problems" as a single, non-stigmatized thing.

Gull Dukat now lives rent-free in my head. I predict that this is forever.

> Then again, the governing coalition is doing just as badly in the polls as you'd expect (in light of the above). So maybe it's not so much a paradox, as a "shoot yourself in the face" kind of situation. Data from pollofpolls.se

Similar to this guy, except for the skin colour! The red wildmen supposedly roamed the Swedish northlands once upon a time. I used to think the myth came from Sami traders testing how much bullshit they could make southern Swedes believe in. But that couldn't explain the Lincolnshire version.

Meanwhile, in Sweden, politicians be like "how can we solve gang crime? What about ... mass incarceration?"

I think I have a highly varied social media feed. I really see both sides. Both people who constantly write about their problems and sorrows, AND people where I go "there's stuff here that doesn't add up, you're trying to sound way more successful than you realistically are".

I'm Swedish and I knew what you meant, possibly because of hefty consumption of UK media.

In some ways, the present era is so similar to the seventeenth century or thereabouts.
Back then, you flipped through a fanciful bestiary to learn about animals of the world. They'd be drawn based on hearsay and legends. Now, you Google, and get AI bullshit.
Amazing this one was real!

This argument comes up again and again but I'm not holding my breath for actual political science to support it.
15 years ago I interacted a lot, for various reasons, with people who were "identity-political" in stupid and annoying ways. I somehow managed to be annoyed without turning fascist.

Your story is about white people, completely redundant to talk about the love interest's milky white throat or how her cheeks look rosy when she comes in from the cold ...

It would have made much more sense to pick TV, and say look, people used to read books, now we have TV and streaming services ... but yeah. He used washing machines. Like we could just go down to the river and hit our clothes with rocks instead or whatever people used to do.

And now, this meme keeps spreading the idea that real rabbits don't like carrots and it's only a cartoon thing. Most rabbits love carrots. And people with rabbits (or people who farm carrots) have known this for ages.
Not great nutritional value=/=unlikable
