The last time someone said they felt this way they later removed all doubt they were a secret asshole, and had no empathy one major presidential election later. Take a close look at the person you are and what you want to be.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

can't say about rest of the population but when I read about some great people, I feel there's too much to learn and too little time.
and it happens every single day.
Snark mode activated: After reading through the "Threads Federation" comments, and seeing what opinions/comments are currently most popular, I'm going to go with YES.
But jokes aside, my actual personal opinion is no.
More like 99.
It definitely seems like 90 percent of people will twist themselves into knots to find a way to defend their beliefs regardless of how wrong those beliefs might be, morally and factually.
Admitting that you are wrong is hard.
You live in Ohio? Florida?

Let's be honest, it's because the yanks dominate Lemmy and Reddit and I've had custard that's less thick than most of them 😂😂

That's because you don't realize the stupid things you're doing or thinking.
The scientific method is the only way we know to reliably discover actual facts, and even with it it can take decades to see through some bullshit we consider as facts.
If you add manipulation, déception and lies, you can't blame people for being mistaken or stupid. You can blame them for being assholes though.
op, it's not just you, i promise. 🙂
i encourage you to watch this in it's entirety. while it covers a different life story, it explores some avenues of what you are possibly feeling when you ask this question.
