This only applies to children whose parents havn't emotionally abandoned them for their new spouses. Its not fun dealing with mental issues and having your biological parents not take any responsibility for your trauma since they just wanted to keep having bandaid kids until an inevitable divorce

Do you have the hair on your chest?

I will admit in an argument. Rarely to I phrase things in the way I should. If I’m polite, and correct, I can make people admit to anything. The politeness is the hard stuff!

This. Get Firefox on mobile and just download ublock origin and background fix add-ons. Takes a minute and you're set!

I meant it as just depression, not a bunch of separate problems that’ve been held in. I apologize if the wording was bothersome.

My stresses increase in the final weeks because they’re suddenly not helping out and they’re acting odd and not talking about what’s wrong, and then it ends and everything becomes abundantly obvious that things weren’t okay. My partners have always been really good at pretending things are okay. I think it’s because of traumatic childhoods where pretending everything is fine was a survival strategy.

Grilled cheese cut into shapes....who gets the scraps, mmm, damn straight dad will take those!

I like cough syrup ¯\(ツ)/¯

So every conversation with religious whackadoodles

chrome is google.

Install firefox from the play store and then install the add-ons from the Firefox site

If you can’t do this (figure out hypothetical evidence that shifts your belief) then you don’t actually have a well-formed belief in the first place! Not being able to answer this question is a huge signal that you need to stop that discussion and go to a different level and start enumerating thoughts that do have evidence behind them. And then see if you can build back up to the original thought.

How?

How?

Say someone didn’t believe the moon landing was real. You could ask them “what if you found out someone you knew personally had been to the moon?”

And then you talk along those lines

And as long as they are about opinions and all know it, the discussion can serve a purpose.

But when it's a fact based discussion ('is there a new world order' etc) and there is nothing that COULD convince you otherwise, then it's not a discussion but rather a shouting match and quite purposeless.

What does the word “hypothetical” mean and why is relevant to your response?

Firefox does this. Plus it has support for ublock origin on desktop and android.

For Android you need an extension but it works fine

It's important to know when you're arguing with someone whose argument is emotional rather than evidence based. The argument can be won but you need a different approach.

Except they won't say "nothing". They'll say something so incredibly unlikely to exist it may as well be.

But then when you present them with that impossible evidence they'll find some way to discount it.

Nobody tell Google, but chrome already does this.

We still need to get past YouTube's "are you still watching" prompt. I guess you could run a console script periodically..
