    100 percent true. But I disagree that almost no one can do it. I think lots of successful people do it. I mean, the ones who went through a LOT of failure before they reached success.

    I personally have done it in my life regarding a few things. Stoicism is a great resources for doing this, in my opinion anyway.

    Basically you can’t always control shit that happens to you, but you CAN learn to control how you react to it.

    Lemmy is not academy. This is a web forum, most of us are not here to do formal science.

    Great point!!! OMG! Daily I get variations of statements from people demanding I defend some random news article I’ve posted. I’m like, “dude, I don’t give a fuck, just don’t read it if you don’t want to!”

    Not everything is some logical political discourse with references. I don’t give a shit. Just ignore and move on if you don’t like it. lmao
