schestowitz"We also know what things to avoid -- potential sources of tension of friction, especially external ones. People are often made naive enough to believe that their surroundings are all looking for their benefit, forgetting that jealousy is rampant, that many people have total disregard for other people's feelings (even when they say "I'm happy for you" to be polite), that companies try to just sell us lots of stuff we don't Oct 10 14:50
schestowitzneed and cannot afford (they spin that as offering a service or social status elevation), and that the route to happiness is more complex a thing than enjoying one's moment, day, life." Oct 10 14:50
schestowitz(me in a chat)Oct 10 14:51

roy__XFaCE: but wait, did you actually remove your account? Deactiviation is just flagging the account as preferring to temporarily making it not visible to anyone but you and Mark Zuckerberg. Moreover, even if you somehow manage to find the option to really delete the account -- an option whivch they shredly hide from you -- than they doin't delete that for two weeksOct 10 15:43
roy__After account deletion facebook retains all your data including personal files and this data remains available to government which using warrant and court subpoena can still get to all your personal data which you assume to have been deleted by facebook upon your demand.Oct 10 15:44

roy__"Yes, and since we're brought up in relatively good homes and not broken homes, it is hard for us to grasp how wrecked homes can come about, or how children (now adults) raised in a broken home can seek to avenge by toppling those more fortunate in their civilisation, often under disguise of being civil. Some people try to substitute lack of love (that they didn't receive at home) with monetary accomplishment in their adult life Oct 10 15:55
roy__and some turn the other way to Goth/heavy metal as a form of symbolism of anger or non-conformism (to distinguish themselves). The source of much hurt though it poor upbringing."Oct 10 15:55

schestowitz"Just avoid those negative people, as an adult we can tell who is true and not."Oct 10 16:13
qu1j0t3Haha.Oct 10 16:15
schestowitz"I'd challenge that premise, not just for the sake of argument or disagreement. I've come across people who are very unskilled at choosing their friends and those whom they hang out with. I think it's a real quote from Freud who said something along the lines of, "maybe the problem is not you, you just surround yourself with jerks." People often have a problem in their lives because they want to associate with people who don'Oct 10 16:15
schestowitzt respect them and they therefore compete based on some criteria they can't keep up with (beauty, wealth, sports) and end up burned out."Oct 10 16:15

schestowitzwe have a common ancestorOct 10 16:17
schestowitzwe as in the broad brush of homo  sapientsOct 10 16:17
XFaCEschestowitz: Indicated that people with autism/ADD/etc. may have inherited neanderthal genesOct 10 16:17
XFaCEschestowitz: So there was interbreedingOct 10 16:17
XFaCESo we did "come" from neanderthals partiallyOct 10 16:18
XFaCEat least some of us :POct 10 16:18
schestowitzwell, not quite, I reckonOct 10 16:18
schestowitzthey could not breed with 'us'Oct 10 16:18
schestowitzonly our ancestorsOct 10 16:18
XFaCEyesOct 10 16:18
schestowitzwho were more like neanderthalsOct 10 16:18
XFaCEYeah, except neanderthals were more intelligent and less socialOct 10 16:19
XFaCEsound familiar? :)Oct 10 16:19
schestowitzthe neanderthals didn't get a chance to evolve like we do, e.g. become blonde and blue-eyed in places where we need fire to survive the coldOct 10 16:19
XFaCEtrueOct 10 16:19
XFaCEBut then didn't completely die out eitherOct 10 16:19
schestowitzand our ancestors from back in the days were not all that bright eitherOct 10 16:19

schestowitznot to diss chimps...Oct 10 16:21
XFaCEschestowitz: Actually, I believe it was our ability to walk upright that was the first evolutionary edgeOct 10 16:21
schestowitzhey, wouldn't it be funny if dissing chimps was to be called "racist"?Oct 10 16:21

schestowitz"I actually found that, some who were competitive and at times jealous over it were trying to create a really strong bond to overcome that tension and become more united with that whom they envy; I had some people really jumping to my rescue when I least expected it. But that's probably coming to show that people can change."Oct 10 16:24

schestowitz"Part of various local empires since being inhabited in the 2nd century AD, Singapore hosted a trading post of the East India Company in 1819 with permission from the Sultanate of Johor.

schestowitzSimilar regime to the UKOct 10 21:31
schestowitz"Singapore is a unitary multiparty parliamentary republic with a Westminster system of unicameral parliamentary government.
