Very effective logic.

Your logic is acting like a guard dog, protecting a feeling. You notice that sensation? That elevated sense of tension and rigidity? That defensiveness.

Now, if you take the time, away from me and the internet, you may be able to discover what iit is inside you that’s being protected.

Then may I suggest starting with some Carl Jung?

His work on both Archetypes and Shadow-Self will be illuminating

Well, I’ve got you this thread on one side of this point.

And I’ve got decades of research, history and professional experience on the other side.

You’ve not convinced me yet! 😀

Yeah, but why would you do that?

The point of getting to know, to understand and accept your shadow urges is so you have a choice in them, not to give in to them.

You say I’m wrong and then explain that I’m right. Thanks

How does denial and repression represent “engaging with their emotions”?

Everyone is capable of darkness.

The worst things humans have done through all of history have been in the name of doing the right thing.

The reason seeing that darkness in others makes people so uncomfortable is it threatens their conceit that they’re above such things.

Of course we wanna believe in a world of good guys and bad guys. But that’s only real in Hollywood.

Well, my suggestion is a bit more complex than that!

I’m talking about using outlets as ways to become familiar with our darkness so we can make informed choices about how it shows up in the world.

A process a lot more complex than “just play GTA”

I assure you everyone has them. There’s an abundance of evidence for this, no one is above the possibility of then coming out in the right circumstances.

If you can’t let your dark-side out to play in a safe environment, you risk not knowing it well enough to keep it coming out in ways you didn’t plan for.

Reference : The majority of murder and violent crime.

But does it have a crazy price?

Personally I’ve found that post seizure sleep is the best sleep I’ve ever had. Woke up incredibly rested!

I don’t recommend this option.

This reminds me of that bit near the end of RoboCop, where Dick Jones is immune to consequences whilst he’s part of the firm.

As soon as the old man fires him, the law can act 😁

I doubt congress is going to shoot him but I can wish.

Gonna have a rum and coke and watch RoboCop tonight, been years since I’ve seen it.

Cyberpunk 2078, surely?

I do not think “bricked” means what you think it means.

True.

The biggest change during my replays is how I interact with the spheres!

Thought it was another generic fun little city builder.

And it is only it has some absolutely unique mechanics that are fun, a really good approach to unlocking through research, and a genuinely beautiful setting.

Seriously, the music, the story and the voice acting make it a genuinely rich experience.

What bothers me is that tri-fold phones only have two folds.

Now I don’t know how many screens you’re gonna have on your 5-fold screen.

I live without adverts in my life.

I have no subscription services.

When a service stops being useful I switch.

Aside from my steam library, I own everything I own. I don’t find this difficult. I’m not missing out, I enjoy films, TV, games, friends, work and life generally.

My personal choices have made a massive difference to my experiences, if I compare them to the ones I see people talking about on Lemmy.

Call the companies, yourself and your representative?

I couldn’t get through to any of them 😟

Indeed. Try talking to a few hundred people each day whilst keeping the banter fun and interesting.

Someone in this doesn’t understand how being a cashier works.
