What I've found is that my first instincts about things were almost always correct
The times I've been wrong have almost always been when I changed my mind down the line, over-complicating things or allowing myself to believe others who over-complicated them
It has made me become very suspicious of over-thinking things and relying on abstract reason and logic that is detached from one's initial impression. I think that as long as you are reasonably intelligent and grounded and have sound judgment, your first instincts about things are almost always correct

I was mostly thinking of my poasting and how I sometimes deliberately write something goofy. In the moment that I write that stuff, I think that it's clear I'm fucking around.
When I come across those poasts later, it's often not obvious at all. I have some poasts where most readers would correctly think that I sound like a fucking retard.

Yeah that too
I directed something moderately antisemitic at bloodacre yesterday. I feel a little bit bad about it because in general I think he's one of the good ones.
I have no idea if he's seen it, it was in a thread that was a few days old.

I dunno what I'm going to do about my steam account. I troll those forums HARD and presumably my kids could eventually go through all of that. i don't care if they see me taking it to libs but some of the most over the top misogyny might set a bad example.

when I was a kid I ignored Women when they talked and thought men who drove Cars were Losers and Trucks were actual men. except when the Car was expensive as fuck

There's a pattern over the last 10 years of poasting: some level of normalcy, then prodromal mental illness, then megapoasting that intensifies the mental illness, then the trip to the nut house, then the slow recovery, and finally stabilizing with gay sex threads.
