The person who downvoted you for listening to someone else talk is a hilarious reminder of what kinds of mindsets are out there

Their guess sounds really plausible though

I decided to Google that name to understand. First blog I clicked on has a paragraph that starts:

I think it’s especially absurd to place your trust in Mozilla FurryFox and their team of stereotypical SJWs and soydevs …

In 2020 this person was substituting coherent points with trite schoolyard namecalling from over a decade before. So that dude’s not only an incoherent idiot but also dangerous. Man.

For real, what idea was that actually meant to convey? OP seems confused about having been indoctrinated with cult language

(OP I’ve been there, good on you for reflecting on it, but there’s more unpacking to do)

Yea that wasn’t meant to downplay the skill required to hang. But relatively speaking, defending with a goal to clinch up takes a ton less effort and risk than pursuing an offensive striking game.

Looking from the other direction, it is incredibly difficult to actually knock someone out who is only defending and waiting to get close to you.

Yea judoka had no striking game and boxer had no wrestling game. Under these conditions the grappler could just wait out the striker until catching a grapple, then win. This is why the Gracie family pushed UFC in the 90s, because karate-and-boxing-obsessed US audiences were constantly surprised by these matches, and it led to more people signing up for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

I mean the super rich generally did a lot of things on their way there. The wake up call is usually around the things they do and people they exploit, not equating the difference to dumb luck.

Perhaps because it’s not

I made one that said START once

“skimming things like programming blogs and stackoverflow”

Like this commenter claims he doesn’t do?

Sometimes there are better methods to implement something, and we can learn from others’ mistakes without having to make them ourselves

There are some things we shouldn’t have to be told to do. Shared chores are one of them.

Not sure how true your example is, but that’s what the example sounded like it was about.

The point being discussed is the false idea that alcohol creates relaxation for someone who lacks a setting to be able to relax without it

It just doesn’t work that way. Top level comment is spitting truth

Someone doesn’t need to know you to know how self-medicating anxiety (what you’re describing) with alcohol fucks people up long term

They did manage to be a dick about it, but yea the more someone feels like they can’t stop those thoughts, the deeper the need is for something sustainable (a practice, a hobby, a life change, a med, etc.) that can help them do that

Even at its best, if someone sidesteps all the side effects of alcohol, it still just delays someone from learning how to master those thought patterns in themselves

You could just stop being wrong 💅

I noticed that, but in this case the original meme pic was poorly conveyed
