It's all over. Do a search for "end times prophecy"

End Timers on youtube are alive and well, they have all just started saying it's "imminent." instead of throwing out predictions.

End Times youtube is one hell of a rabbit hole though. Would recommend!

I don't know if this counts, but I'd say the Enlightenment. It was a discovery in that we discovered a new way to interpret the world.

I think there is kind of a glass ceiling when you talk about fire, plumbing, electricity and so on. Each one was a necessary stepping stone to get us where we are, but without any one of them, we wouldn't be here.

The Enlightenment gave us a brand new sense of autonomy as a species, which in turn has given us a greater amount of control over "Destiny."

Ohhh, I think I getchu. It seems to be more of a problem for you in the use of "personality" non clinically?

Do you think it's nonsense in pop psychology, professional psychology, or both?

I don't think they're meant to describe someone's "everywhere all the time" personality. I've met and know several people that fit into one or the other.

One friend is completely "alive" at D&D, but quiet and reserved at any other social function, whereas another loves going to concerts, parties, and other social events, but falls asleep trying to play board games.

I don't think it's meant to be an end-all, be-all. Just one way to generally categorize personality.

As far as people being complex? Above a certain level, yeah, definitely. But we also have a lot of very low level behavior that's relatively easy to categorize.

This is what we get for conflating a persons talent and ability with their net worth

Tigeruppercut nailed it.

Well it's never permanent, but I would imagine someone in good health, with strong familial and social connections who lives above the poverty line (person A) is much more likely than someone without one or all of those things (person B) to have a stable feeling of happiness.

Stable, in this context, meaning harder to shake or break.

An example being person A is having a good day and they get a flat tire. The issue is much more likely to be resolved without affecting their overall happiness very much, whereas person B's day might be ruined, which is more likely to have a knock-on effect that can greatly reduce overall happiness.

This is not to say someone without those things wont be happy, just citing a few top level things that, when absent, can make someones life experience more difficult.

As far as under what circumstances would someone experience stable happiness? That's different for everyone because we all have unique challenges in life and how we were raised can directly influence where we are emotionally and what it will take to find happiness.

One of the most sure fire ways to find happiness is in kindness and forgiveness to others, as well as yourself.

I think it can be, but I don't think it -is-

It reads to me like you think these companies are entitled to a user base. They aren't. Just because it costs money to run a service, it does not mean we have to accept the price they charge or the anti consumer practices.

Don't torture me like that... (Though there were 6 mainline games if you include Tactics)

Welcome!

Yeah, I'm going in cautiously optimistic myself.

And just FYI, Suikoden typically focuses on a handful of the heroes, and the rest will be base NPCs and support characters, but the storytelling is pretty good, and they can go pretty deep on who they do focus on.

... A hate grate?

It really does seem like he's -trying- to kill it

::squints::

"We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty..."

It's okay... sniff We're used to it...

Once they killed reader, I stopped using any google services that I didn't have to for some other reason.

Reader was the GOAT, as the kids say.

Don't hate on 3 word names. We exist and our feelings are valid, damnit! 😭
