Still waiting to hear what inertiaing is supposed to be...
Eh,,, how do you explain inertia? It’s when you just continue doing what you’re doing (or not doing what you’re not doing) because your brain doesn’t make the ‘hey let’s change what we’re doing!’. In my case this afternoon scrolling around tumblr sitting at my desk, I guess?

If it's a direct quote and it's in quotation marks or otherwise denoted as a direct quote, it shouldn't count against you so long as your own original thoughts don't contain the same error. That won't help you with the cringing, though. Is it possible for you to paraphrase while still citing the original source?
I have fragmented the quote lol. My thesis needs to be pretty...

All this bizarre crap going on in American politics is why I feel so comfortable in the Supernatural fandom; it's far less confusing, and it's better at obeying its own rules.
At this point anything makes more sense than US politics lol
nosleep3 replied to your post “My tag for Star Wars VII will be swtfa I guess (creative yeah)”
Why wouldn't it just be Star Wars VII? Seems like that's more easily identified by someone wishing to seek or avoid spoilers.
well you have a point lol
star wars vii then

I have about 5 seconds of free time left, but I saw this post and wanted to say hello! Hope you feel better! I'll be thinking of you today!
Awwwww thank you!!! *sends all the virtual hugs* ^-^
Here's a question to ponder when you have free time: would a believer in/practitioner of metaphysical solipsism (one who thinks the external world and other people and minds do not really exist) be inherently selfish? Would they be bad at teaching or parenting?
Thank you for the question, metaphysical solipsism is so fascinating, this stuff is my jam :)
I’ll start by saying that I don’t believe in metaphysical solipsism (I think we all have the same level of reality, what that level of reality is is another matter ehe...) but I’d be lying if I said I’ve never considered it. (I also believe humans aren’t really capable of fully grasping that other people have the same inner complexity as ourselves, but maybe that’s just me.)
I think the thing is that “/” you’ve put between “believer in” and “practitioner”. Can one really act upon their (rational) belief in metaphysical solipsism? Human beings aren’t just rationality, and I think that those kinds of belief can’t really translate to the emotional sphere of the person (of course unless it crosses with other kinds of things that determine our emotional approach to others).
Basically, I don’t think that, even if you believe other people do not have a reality of their own, you still behave towards them as if you were to assume they have the same level of reality as you. You think on a rational level they don’t have the same level of existence as you, but you feel they’re real, just like you.
I’m pretty sure there is some technical expression to indicate this “fracture” between rational thinking and emotional approach to others, but I can’t recall it right now :3
(To be honest I don’t actually believe in the radical dichotomy between rationality and irrationality, but I’ll use these terms for simplicity.)
So no, I don’t think they’d be selfish or bad at having emotional connections to others specifically for believing in solipsism, because their non-rational part would make them act as if metaphysical solipsism weren’t true.
At least those are my two cents on the matter :)
