    I wouldn't say inner conflict but moreso conditioned thinking.

    If someone has been conditioned to have certain beliefs and values then they see evidence that those values are wrong they'll ignore it completely.

    Like a person on welfare complaining about "welfare queens". They are receiving govt assistance while complaining about people who receive govt assistance.

I knew they were forcing ads into videos but clogging the entire search feed with ads is unfuckingbelievable. Is this really what it's come to?

I didn't realize my mistake until I was like an hour into the game (again, drunk) so when I contacted Playstation trying to get a refund they told me I was ineligible for a refund due to already installing the game (even though it installs immediately after purchase).

    What do you do with Nazi memorabilia?

    I own a long dagger/short sword. The hilt is in the design of the German eagle with its wings spread out as the hand guard and in the middle of the hand guard is a swastika. The scabbard is also adorned with swastikas on the top, mid section, and bottom. I don't want to own this piece as I don't want to be seen as a Nazi sympathizer or anything of the sort, but I don't want to sell it to someone who actually is a Nazi sympathizer or something like that. What do I do with it besides trash it? I don't want to trash it because it's decent quality. It's not historic in any way (which disturbs me to think about) but it's well made.

    How do I stop hating children?

    Almost all my life I've absolutely despised children. Pretty much from the moment I stopped being a child I've hated being around children. It doesn't even matter what the child is doing. Whether they're laughing and having fun or screaming and throwing a tantrum. The sound of a child being loud activates an almost primal rage that I can barely contain. I've had to leave social gatherings/restaurants/grocery stores all because if I'd stayed I'd have made a complete ass of myself by screaming at a child just for existing. It's even worse with infants which makes me feel horrible because I know they can't help it. I know the kids don't know any better and it's our job as adults to get them through childhood, but my blood boils when they get loud or demand attention. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Is there anything I can do to stop from getting so angry?

    Mobile ordering and delivery have made food service objectively worse and if you use them I think you're pathetic.

    Working in food sucks in general. I would know I've been doing it for almost 14 years now. You drive to the store. You enter the store. You order your food. If there are any complications with your order you're told right then and there. But I'll never forget the day my job introduced mobile ordering. It immediately made everything worse in almost every way. Customers ordering shit we ran out of, shit we no longer offer, setting the pickup time 5 minutes after placing the order then getting mad when it's not done on time. All this while we can't communicate with the customer at all until they arrive to find the order incomplete because we couldn't contact them to figure out what they wanted to do. Then door dash became a thing and all those exact problems became even worse. It slows down the entire store to the point of disrupting the customers who came in to order. Why the fuck would you go through a third party system to obtain food ***when you can just go get the fucking food*** Basically if you use mobile ordering or a delivery service you're a big part of why food service has done nothing but get harder and more frustrating. And I do hold it against you. Edit: I don't think lemmy understands how unpopularopinion is supposed to work... Edit 2: Considering how many people clearly disagree with me and seeing how few upvotes this post has gotten, lemmy clearly has no idea how unpopularopinion works. Glad to know the Reddit custom of ignoring that still lives on.

    A human dying is only considered inhumane if it leaves a mess.

    A person can be killed instantly through many different means. Gunshots to the brain, being crushed by immense weight, being crushed by smaller weights moving at high speeds, high speed collisions with hard surfaces. As we know it, to be killed painlessly, is to be killed instantly. If you instantly destroy a person's entire brain then they died without pain. Yet the most effective ways of instantly destroying someone's entire brain are considered ihumane. Like letting someone die of an untreatable disease but giving them so many pain meds they can't feel anything is "humane" but shooting them in the brainstem or destroying the entire brain isn't. If instantly killing someone by smashing their head with a massive rock, or shooting them in the brain stem is inhumane, then humans only consider it "humane" if it doesn't leave a mess. Obviously I've left out a lot of different ways to die, be they slowly or instantaneous, but that list is massive. But I'd much rather die messily yet painlessly than painfully yet "pretty"

    Embedded links no longer working?

    I've noticed that lately when I try to click on a hyperlink or something like that my internet app will open but it just sits at the home page. Is anyone else dealing with this?
