Could you just find out when the gate to the outside is shut by looking at various people in the inverse fire? If they aren't present then the gate would be shut in their lifetime, because they wouldn't be in the eternal torture machine/hell. After all, the inverse fire says that if they are there they were always there.

Because otherwise they'd both be in hell but also not in hell - the gate is shut but also they are in hell and always have been? Or is that the kind of mismatch between reality and meaning that unbinds a meaningful universe?

I wonder if it programs it into you, a parent who just find nothing worth seeing in you - mirror neurons firing and you just burn the mirror image into yourself. Then others see you as kind of ... eww. "Why would I want to have anything to do with them?". Like, can you break free of the mirror image when others basically reinforce it and see you, with the results of years of invalidation, and just reject you? Then you can actually engage work which requires people to find you likeable? Or to win do you have to have won already and have had a parent who found you engaging?

Therapy videos from psychologists IMO have a problem in that they typically focus on the perfectionist client who 'just should have been valued for who they are'. Except the reason they went to a psychologist is because they could afford it and they could afford it because they made money from their perfectionism. This means they basically focus on people who were perfectionists and oh my, how they were victims of their parents not acknowledging their skills even though they are so skilled. And it's just indirectly damning for anyone who isn't a perfectionist, because all the focus for who is a victim and needs help are the perfectionists. In some ways it reminds me of how those neglectful p

I'll describe this by contrasting it against what I think what happens with a good enough/healthy parent. With a good enough parent, the child lets whatever feeling it have just go straight out into it's actions and voice. The parent keeps the child in safe areas where this can't really hurt the child or others AND the parent also guides the child's actions if they don't really fit what the parent thinks does not work out - the guidance is gentle and repeated, so it eventually turns the flow of emotion in the child away from what the parent thinks does not work out (and with a caring parent, it probably is in some ways a good thing to avoid). So that's the functional version.

I think this is one of the biggest gaslighting phrases.

If someone was so abused that they have literally lost their capacity to make a choice, then they have suffered a kind of brain damage/mental damage. When someone has lost mental capacities you don't expect or even allow them to do things that require those capacities, like you don't have people who are blind driving cars or expecting them to drive cars. When it comes to mental damage it also means they person would have restrictions in regards to what they can't do because of the damage.

But the thing about the 'they were abused' phrase is people using it are hoping to get you to give a pass like the person has mental damage, but at

Snakes on an X axis

Sharing insight

This may not make sense but it's about behavior that doesn't make sense. It's like a way of trying to understand something at a basic level that is really counter intuitive.

If you think about venomous snakes, the relationship between you and them is kind of functional. When you see them and shy away and want to move away from them, the venomous snake is good with that. They want to get away from you as well, they can't eat you and don't want to waste their expensive to generate venom on you. On the X axis the more you find them threatening then on the Y axis the more it works out for both of you.

But imagine if there were venomous snakes that if you see them as a threat THEN they attack.

You can't disprove it/prove it false. Someone could axe murder their children and 'they did their best' applies just as much. It never fails to apply - and thus it's meaningless. It's magical thinking. IMO it's a kind of denial defence mechanism that comes from the 'just world fallacy' tree of denial.

Hello! I've imported a data set from qualtrics with the results of various measures. I'd like to count how many participants have missed one or more answers (if there are not too many then I'd like to filter them out).

I've tried filters but I can't seem to find the right code to identify these blank spaces.

I've tried to adjust the import 'Default missings' to -999 so I could then aim filters at them, but on importing the data again the blank spots just remain blank.

Has anyone had something like this come up for them? Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

In faction warfare the enemy will sometimes just go back and forth until a group of our own side goes forward, then some kind of 'draw a bunch of enemies to one point and root them' power is used and then a bomb power is used at that point (maybe by a second player). What is this power that draws you across nearly half the screen and what is the counter?

I like this but I know it's mouse art. I'd like to explain it.

The image is a before (the left) and after (the right)

The center amoeba like creature is the core of yourself.

The shaded parts are defences.

The outer perimeter with spikes on the inside is what I'd describe as toxic conditioning program that your parents or others set up in you, so that you yourself keep conditioning you to how they want you to be. Each inward spike is there to stab into the core should it be doing the 'wrong thing'. Defences semi block spikes, though the defence itself can have

Hello. I think the transition from yellow zone loss of a bit of silver to red zone losing all gear is a large jump with no in between. This is an idea to give an in between, to encourage players to dip their toes in the red zone.

The idea is this: Once per day when going from a yellow zone to a red zone you get a buff that only allows X percentage of your overall gear value to be taken or destroyed on death. Say it starts at 1% and if you have 100k of gear then you could lose up to 1k of your gear or items. If you don't have something at that value then it stores that you can lose 1k in a value and it keeps adding up over deaths until it's enough to lose something that you own. Over time th
