No, that's not what I'm doing. I'm also not saying they don't share similar traits.

Trust doesn't explicitly mean that a creature is cognitively understanding that they trust in the way we trust. Trust to an insect means they understand that something is not going to hurt them. In the same way it trusts a rock to be steady. It trusted that the giant wasn't going to hurt her and she didn't need to assume that she was in danger. Whether that occurrence is conscious or subconscious is irrelevant. It's still trust.

There was nothing about that video that implied the woman was anthropomorphising or even elevating the bee to have emotions beyond her capability.

The real issue, and honestly this is a real big issue, is that there are some in this thread feel that she was getting teary eyed because she has ascribed some false consciousness to the bee. She isn't. She is crying because the idea of any life being cast away, even if that's the nature of the species, evokes the idea of herself being in that same position of being cast away with nobody to save her, and it makes her sad. It makes her think about her own mortality, and the mortality of the people she loves, and so she takes action, even if the bee can't fully appreciate what's happening, she can. It's called empathy.

Emotionally anthropomorphising a bumblebee and giving it human traits?

She is not anthropomorphising a bumblebee. She is seeing it for what it is and allowing it to have a low stress final 2 weeks of her life. In no way did she dress the bumblebee up, or treat it like a child. She made an enclosure for it, fed it sugar water, and allowed it to climb on her.

The issue is that you can't discern between the two. There's a whole range of emotions between stoic and naive, and you seem to be unable to experience them.

I'd say maybe you're the one who shouldn't be able to vote.

This is a genuinely sad response to what is a horrible policy. You can admit that this sucks. It’s okay.

So it's foreign influence to not allow unlawful expansion of executive powers?

They're literally captured.

All the man has to do is give some offhand justification and they take it. Hook, line, sinker.

They're dug in too deep. The time too admit they were wrong has passed, they can't do anything about it, and it's killing them. Any "yeah, but" makes them feel better.

They're weak people.

Im not super familiar with zones but it seems to imply that zone 2 is distance running/jogging. I dont think this type of exercise is worth the wear and tear for anything other than competing in distance running

Also those sweet sweet endorphins. When they hit you literally feel at peace.

Just untrue.

Well to start, regardless of your opinion if a pedestrian is in the road they have the right of way. You can’t just hit them.

Also, you’re talking about kids. They don’t have fully developed brains. They are going to frick up. They are going to do dumb things when they play. That’s part of it. The consequence is they get hit?

I don't think there is one thing to blame here. You have:

Covid putting kids who are now in the dating pool at a socially developmental disadvantage at an impressionable age.

The fear of messing up is amplified due to a greater permanence. If a failed pickup attempt is caught on camera, someone's status may be ruined for years, rather than a couple of weeks as would have been the case 15 years ago.

Social media makes young men feel like if they aren't 6' and lean they don't have a shot at all.

Social media makes young women feel like they are inadequate as well.

Online relationships are becoming more common than ever. Most of a young adults' time is spent on a phone or on places like Discord or gaming lobbies.

Pornography can satiate a % of the population's lustful desires that they would otherwise act upon in a social setting.

And probably a ton more.

I always feel bad for some serial killers. Obviously not as badly as I feel for the families of the deceased, but some of them when interviewed you can tell they’re all fricked up in the head. Some of them were truly evil and seemed to like it, but some of them you can see the fricked up child in them coming to face the consequences. It’s just so sad all around.
