It is and it applies at every level of social interactions. People will compromise their smaller, less important values as long as the main, currently most important facet remains the focus.
A clear example of this is the crazy/hot index. Both men and women ignore the failings of their chosen companion as long as the value of sex is greater than the suffering of all else combined.
Sometimes, using a search engine fails you so having the browser history as backup might be difficult to use, but at least it's a backup choice.
The most vocal use this place for escapism and don't want reality to barge into a place they designated as "safe" because it will mean their ideas and desires won't have a place to tolerate or even promote them.
It is partly this type of disconnection and despair that drives their aggression.
Considering how consistently the world gets fucked, yeah, I'd say there's a divine Dick out there doing all the fucking.
Wow, vulture is crappy website. Never visited it before, it's 1st of November and i already reached my monthly quota.
Well, some people read something on a website, find it casually interesting - not enough to bookmark it, then later come across a situation where that website would be helpful and so have their browser history at hand to help find it again.
Seeing as how this topic isn't part of Rule 3 for which the answer is to go seek professional help, nor is there a rule specific to stupid answers, I'm gonna go ahead with this one.

Not really. If you need drugs to make yourself a better person, once you've made your life as that better person and the drugs run out, will that life still be compatible with the drugless you? Will you still be able to handle it? To like it? For it to like you? How desperate will you be to find an alternative?
And every drug has a downside, a cost both physical and mental. Have you informed yourself what that cost is? And I'm not talking about the success stories, if it's not obvious, I'm talking about the ones that took any of these drugs and it failed them. Can you handle those kind of results? If you can't take into account the cost of failure and whether it outweighs the cost of success, then that drug isn't for you.
Also, I'd ignore the "go for it" type of comments. Their bias is the equivalent of a "bootstraps" type of success story and not that much reliable. A more reliable success story is that of fighter planes:
Initially, engineers looked at bullet holes in the fuselage to figure out which areas to strengthen and have fewer planes downed. When that didn't work, some smartass said that if a hit downed a plane, then it won't make it back to base. So the engineers strengthened the areas without bullet holes instead.
Well guess what, the downed planes won't make it to Lemmy and tell their stories to you. Imagine that.
He'd accidentally fall out of a window long before he'd have the chance.
He runs a brothel on Linux.
I wonder if the comment you're replying to applies to the people who downvoted yours.
Or it's only selective to the people they don't know yet decided to hate. Sad really.
I think one of the Shepard backgrounds was of a colonist kid who survived a slavers raiding party, something for which the Batarians are well known for. Add in the murdering soldier career option and yeah, I can see this happening...
At one of the many crossroads in your life where you have to decide whether to commit violence or maintain inner peace.
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.
