=== ANCHOR POEM === ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── @user-311 @user-312 @user-313 @user-314 it's not malignant if people change their mind once presented with evidence that counters and eclipses their pre-conceived notions. If people don't change their mind after receiving arguments that logically should change their mind and rationally seem sound but emotionally contrast with their pre-aligned designs... then yeah that's essentially malignance. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 messages/143 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────── I always figured if people didn't like what I was saying they'd contest me so I could change it. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #2 fediverse/612 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── Look all I'm saying is if I had an acolyte or two then my insane ramblings could be filtered and parsed by a real actual human instead of being copied wholesale onto the internet, where the inconsequential or inconceivable ones are left to rest alongside the gifts of knowledge from another realm. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #3 fediverse/1579 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── fellas is it gay if I think fascists should be killed if they don't permanently revoke their ways ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────┘ --- #4 fediverse/498 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── Wikipedia would make a lot more sense to me if they included pictures next to the names of every proper noun so that my pictorally oriented primate brain might pattern match meaning onto the visual understandings gleaned from the perceptual conceiving which were arrayed within and alongside the textual information presented to me. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #5 messages/399 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── The schizophrenic sees the truth in dazzling displays of color that are nigh incomprehensible, while regular people see truth in shades of gray that you can understand and work with. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────┘ --- #6 messages/89 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the collective mind co-re-assigns. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #7 fediverse/3547 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────── @user-1218 well, if your partner doesn't want to change their mind, they won't. And if someone's mind is being changed, or if someone is attempting to change someone else's mind, then there must always be a changer and a changee. So it's okay to be the changee sometimes! In fact, that's my default state. I only change someone else's mind if they're wrong and hurting others. But that's rare. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┘ --- #8 fediverse/5380 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────── ┌────────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics-mentioned │ └────────────────────────┘ dear right-wing converts to the cult of sanity: you don't have to be trans just to show [your devotion/you're sorry], we'll accept anyone who is cool and "gets it" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────┘ --- #9 fediverse/3266 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── how many people do you think in the world know that screenshots of a website are not admissible proof because they can be trivially doctored by editing the html? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┘ --- #10 fediverse/542 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── @user-246 @user-366 @user-367 @user-353 Good point.
