It's absolutely fine if you don't want to have kids

I don't agree with the Antinatalist idea that having children is immoral. Or that Antinatalism reduces suffering.

If I'm incorrect please elaborate

I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with your psychologist.

If I can point out one thing that might help you is that these thoughts largely come from an evolutionary trait called Negative Bias

Negative Bias is the disproportionate focus on bad events and/or memories compared to good events.

It applies to a large range of memories and our ability to perceive danger. Evolutionary it makes sense because our embarrassing memories makes us afraid or unwilling to behave in a way that the social group doesn't like.

You can imagine when humans lived in societies in small groups of 30 people, that disrespecting someone could get you kicked out of the group and potentially starve to death in the wild. So there is a very strong evolutionary pressure that made your brain evolve to avoid repeating bad scenarios

Your constant embarrassing, sad, or traumatic memories are your brain reminding you over and over not to be in that situation again.

Unfortunately your brain didn't evolve to be happy. It evolved to survive.

All I wanted to explain is that these memories are not your fault. Don't feel like you're any different because you have bad memories constantly. Accept that your brain will do what it is programmed to do and learn how to work around those tendencies.

And I could recommend trying another psychologist. I'm also available to chat if you'd like. Cheers 🙂

That's a great comment. I go though basically the same steps with my constant flow of embarrassing and/or sad memories

If they're useful then maybe I should explore this thought for a little longer, or try to speak with someone

If I have nothing to gain from it and it's just making me cringe or sad I try to do something else to distract myself

It's important to not shut these memories down immediately. Some memories really need to be explored in order for you to properly leave them in the past. And you can bottle up a bunch of emotions if you refuse to think about thoughts that come to you constantly.

Yup, but that's all you have right now

I'd argue the senile old man is MUCH better

America best country in the world am I right??

It's a meme. It's just trying to say that Biden is embarrassing and/or a bad candidate

His party dropping him would only guarantee that trump is elected. It would be a dumb move and it obviously won't happen.

You might not like Biden, but against a twice impeached, insurrectionist felon, I would vote for Biden every time

I would also vote lettuce against Trump.

But I'm voting Joe to keep that orange imbecile away

Spoiler. They did free Will in the end

From time to time I feel like my dreams are a continuation of other dreams I've had in the past.

I can recall 2 or 3 different scenarios that somehow I keep dreaming about and it always feels like either a repeat or a continuation of the last time I dreamt about this scenario

The same characters show up and in the same environment etc

It's quite cool. I always wake up and feel like "woah this would be an amazing movie" except the one where I'm lost in an underground circus and the magicians and lions are trying to kill me. I sometimes relive the story of dreams I had years ago. I only wish I could remember more about them.

I don't know if there's a memory space for dreams but at least it seems like it's possible for the brain to fall into a similar state while sleeping and you feel like it was the same dream as before

The context doesn't make a difference

In base 10 --> 1/3 is 0.333...

In base 12 --> 1/3 is 0.4

But they're both the same number.

Base 10 simply is not capable of displaying it in a concise format. We could say that this is a notation issue. No notation is perfect. Base 10 has some confusing implications

Divide 1 by 3: 1÷3=0.3333...

Multiply the result by 3 reverting the operation: 0.3333... x 3 = 0.9999.... or just 1

0.9999... = 1

I did not mean to justify Israel's actions by pointing out Hamas's attack.

I agree that Israel has the sole power to stop this conflict. Every day they refuse to do some sort of ceasefire deal is a slaughter caused by Israel alone.

Netanyahu is likely prolonging the war due to political pressure and IMO should be considered a terrorist as well

As another comment noted. If Hamas had more firepower they would use more firepower.

They are not morally Superior to Israel.

Hamas started a conflict with an obviously more powerful military. They knew there would be consequences but they still chose violence over diplomacy. Obviously diplomacy in the middle east is terrible but I would never think that attacking civilians is a viable alternative to diplomacy.
