Stray dogs:
If you pass somewhere and there are suddenly stray dogs in your way, just squat down and show your hands. Hands down, palms up. If they come to sniff and shit, keep your palms below their face. Basically let them come to you. When they trust you, you can pat the top of the head. But patting the top of the head before they know you can be dangerous, as you might use them to hit them, for example.

Usually within seconds the whole pack comes to get some love :)

I've never been attacked by a dog this way. But if a dog would come at me, actually aggressive and not slow down, I hear you should use your feet to defend yourself.

Don't just walk through their territory.

One of the best resources I found to just learn fundamentals of maths.

Explains the issue of google locking out non-playstore apps, etc. and also explains these links. That's pretty much it.

Yes, please! Wired headphones also really don't last long if used daily as a built-in mic replacement.

When driving in a car or bus, I tap my feet between every one of those strips in the middle of the road. Also for street lamps, or anything else that repeats along the way.

I don't always do this, and could also tap my fingers or stuff, but very often do.

Alt-text: Drawing of a road, with red dots between those lines in the middle of the road, indicating where I tap, when I cross it.

Yup, I also think of chess when I read it, so pawned - turned into a pawn, demoted to the weakest piece, etc. If I read owned, then it's owned.

I don't think domination is actually intelligent or smart.

On a related note, I don't remember the best resources I've come across, but here's something for a bit of an idea:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_error

Legally, there is the concept of contemporaneous notes in many countries. Meaning if you write something down shortly after the event occured it can have legal validity.

There is also hypnotherapy, EMDR, and other forms of therapy, where many people can access memories that they couldn't. I was surprised myself how many memories I could access with EMDR.

I find the concept appears to be similar to meditation and lots of sensory information + association. How stuff felt, sounded, smelled, where you felt in your body etc.

Less related, but there's also Method of Loci etc. to remember lots of very specific things

Sorry, hard disagree.

I also don't want to argue. So feel free to say what you like about this, but I won't respond. I'll just drop some thoughts for consideration.

1. Cults don't have to be religious, and even then there's a difference
2. Harm doesn't just come from being militant or political
3. The mechanisms of disbanding suck as much as the criminal justice system and states in general do
4. This isn't just about the US

Jehovas Witnesses, Moonies, Scientology and so many more are still ongoing. Cult mechanism are literally some of closest stuff to brainwashing there is. They are malign. The followers are victims, and collectively this absolutely should be addressed.

Also, I am not offering any kind of solution here, I.e. to just go after the cults and disband them. As others have said it's nuanced.

I really don't mind the vast majority. Unless it's really dumb, hateful or repetitive, I'm good. It's just one more thing to scroll past, if I'm not interested. Though I do notice people with cool input running for the hills when the questions aren't 'exquisite' enough and places can turn dull.

Gonna die eventually anyway, so might as well make the most of the time I have.

I'm not arguing against that, just drawing attention to what kind of 'light' they are given. It's not like there are only two perspectives.

Walnuts, figs, honey, mozzarella, blue cheese, rucola and parmesan

Note to others. The quality of the links isn't great. And there seems to be an authoritarian communist et al. bias. Cross-reference stuff, and consider biases.

That's pretty cool and very kind of you. But I was exaggerating, though it does hit me more than it should.

But cognitively I know it's usually not that big of a deal. Sometimes the way I communicated is an issue, or somebody interpreted it wrong, or they are having a bad day, being unreasonable, or I just straight up made a mistake. It could be so many things.

I find this article pretty useful for anyone who might struggle with this and rejection in general:

Help, I want to report an assault!

Admirable. A single down-vote, even out of 200 and I take physical damage for the next few days.

How about knighting people who actually do real good, rather than rich assholes? Oh right, the people knighting them are the fucking monarchs.
