Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Holding belief that people are rational and able to follow logic :')
whose logic?
logic isn't a universal force or law. it's a learned system. most people have their own internal emotional or cultural logic, that may or may not have anything to do with something like symbolic logic.
it's not bait dude. it's reality. logic is not a fixed system, it's an active area of research in which new problems and new logical systems are being invented.
have you ever formally studied logic? if you did realize there is more than one system of logic, and they have different rules.
It's like thinking mathematics ends with algebra 2 or calculus with calc 1.
here is one sample for you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraconsistent_logic
I wonder if OP will listen to your logic..
Talking in person and my mouth moving faster than my mind. Stuttering and saying stupid things makes me just stay quiet most of the time.
Constantly helping someone only for them to constantly go back to their abuser
Buying stupid shit for way too much money because, although I try not to, fall into the capitalist trap way too often
When someone reminds me of something I've completely forgotten about. It's the worst feeling....
spilling things, slipping my clutch pedal, making typing errors, forgetting my keys/wallet, etc.
all that random stuff.
I bet you've never proofread anything as much as you proofread that comment. Just like I did this one.
i don't really proof reading anything, unless it's something formal.
but on the flipside, i don't think anyone is stupid for making basic typos and mistakes or it's anything to attack/mock someone for.
When I try and do something with my hands and then completely fail at being able to talk.
tinnitus and hearing loss
Me too. I went to the ENT last week and they said I should look at hearing aids.
I bought a pair of EarPods pro and they have a hearing aid feature. I wear those when I need to hear better.
Noticing hours afterward that I gesture-typed an incomprehensible word salad and people still upvoted it.
When someone completely misses the point or context of the situation or scenario.
My actions, mostly.
e.g. causing unnecessary conflict by trying to change someone's political views when I really should just shut up.
