    Yeah, nah. This autistic labeling seems to be going overboard.

    Different people see different things. And to use more visible examples, if you show a soldier and a random person a picture of a field and ask them what they see, you're going to get different results. It's called having a perspective, which is formed by individual experience. Different doesn't automatically mean divergent, it means having lived a life.

    And if I'm being superficial about it, people expecting mental unity are quite frankly insane.

  • What belief do you have two-sided opinions on?

    Everything has pros and cons.

    Most people tend to see only the pros of the things that favour them and downplay the cons that affect others. Which is why we come to hate each other so often.

    For example, life and death are a cycle. Can't have one without the other. People may have different goalposts on what deaths they think they're willing to cause in order to survive, but whether it's animals, plants or even microbial organisms, some living beings have to die in order for others to live. (But it's fine because there's so many of them and they can't think or feel pain, probably. Eh, who cares anyway, gotta eat something!)

    Due to the limitations of operating at a loss, a demerit is unavoidable. The problem is having to constantly fine tune the balance in order to do the least harm. And yet even that is a self-appointed right and responsibility in lack of anything else.

    Whenever I see a "Fuck Cars" community post, I can't help but remember that dragons fucking cars is/was a thing, that there is a parody country song about a dude loving his truck intimately and that dudes have been caught sticking their dingdongs in car exhaust pipes.

  • In China, there has been an increasing number of indiscriminate attacks on people recently, which is heartbreaking. Why do these individuals target innocent people?

    It's a common problem, no matter the country. And a simple answer would be that the innocent are within reach.

    A more complex answer would be that it's complicated. If the aggressors believe the ones to blame for their mishaps cannot be harmed in return or they feel ignored by the general populace, through creating more victims, people will have no choice but to pay attention.

    Maybe someone will think "What caused the aggressor to act like this?", search through their history to figure it out and realize that they were driven to desperation by someone else. This might redirect the ire of the victims and their families to those responsible and so, a little revenge will be achieved.

    The solution is relatively simple: Pay attention to the disgruntlement of the people and instead of suppressing it by force, strive to solve it.

    I mean, it could be. They do have some castles worth making a hole into, you know. Just ripe for a little bit of invading and plundering once in a while...

    "Alright you louts! Line up, couple at a time! No pushing those in front of you! Present your ticket at the hole in the wall and remember, no petting the castle lord! The exit is through the main gate once you're done sightseeing and, so help me, I WILL stab anyone who tries to come back out through the hole!"

    Sounds like bait. Are the fruits poisonous, kill what eats them which then decomposes and provides nutrition for the main body?

    A timid beetle(?)

    What's its name? I've seen some before, but rarely. Once every few years or so. Thanks Edit: the likeliest candidate is an Old House Borer without antennae.
