The concept of treating others how you want to be treated is one people discuss often, sure, but it's also not how society works on the whole. It's one of those many concepts our parents raise us on and we are raised to believe is normal, when really it's... unfortunately not. I think what's...
What he's saying is perfectly nice but I can't tell if he's misguided or intentionally trying to misguide others. I also feel the video is intentionally manipulative and feels almost like an attempt to both create higher ground and simultaneously place himself on it in the same breath.
He...
I won't judge either way on what you might be wanting from this thread, though I do need to highlight that your frustrations towards people seeing it as something you can fix is perhaps ill-placed.
People can and do come out of depression and social anxiety, and being determined that there is...
Criticism is about disapproval and judgement, so there really isn't such a thing as nice criticism. If it's complimentary, it's more akin to feedback or testimonial than it is criticism. Beyond that I'd just like to clarify that when you're looking for criticism which can help you improve...
Double standards is the biggest one for me, which is pin down to confusion (in some cases intentional) over the two EQs.
Aside from that, I hate girls who refer to me or other people as gentlemen with a positive twist on the word. The "reign of gentlemanly conduct" as I like to put it, was a...
I can't help much with when it comes to name idea, but I would just say that if you're only just starting out with blogging and publishing then I'd advise against using a pen name. I have used pen names in the past, but for my core works I'll always use my real name. It used to be perfectly...
People commenting on things they have little to no idea about, and are essentially parroting what someone else said without even understanding the topic. I've seen so much of it with Brexit, Trump (mostly from those who dislike him, even though I also dislike him too), pretty much the entire...
That's all good :) I just wanted to poke on hinting that one definition of a satanist is real and another not real since realistically they're both real definitions. Personally I don't have a high opinion of satanism as a cult but modern satanism I see in a much better light, so much so that I...
@Meredith
I'm sorry but you can't ignore the history of a word based on the fact someone formed an organisation at a later date in time. "Satanism" and dervied words date far further back in the 1900s. As much as I credit you for using a source other than wikipedia (which is the norm these...
I think this is an important point.
"Satanism" does have multiple meanings and interlinks with three core definitions:
- An interchangable term with paganism to denote someone of opposing belief
- Operating within the confines of a satanic cult belief system (a cult within christianity as...
I'm surprised to see people arguing lying isn't a bad thing because of an end goal or motive behind it. That is actually the definition of a "necessary evil", so one would need to accept the act as "evil" (in the loosest sense of the word) because of that. While I agree with some of the...
This is rather rife in just about every media genre and topic. It doesn't help that we continually try to niche genres into such specific concepts that it ultimately becomes different to even tell them apart.
I studied journalism and am now a journalist and editor. I also specialise in SEO, web development and digital marketing, which is less related to my degree. I'm now studying finance also, which is even less related to my original degree.
