    You should also know that if you are trying to apply this to real life, that you should probably go to therapy instead. Most people are reasonably honest and reasonably kind, and the best way to read people’s minds is to just ask what they are thinking.

        Kind of a weird take, considering that the rest of my post was specifically written to address that concern

      I really hope you’re not lumping Trump in with that whole “most people being reasonably honest and kind” bit. Because, oof.

          1993, unfortunately. He smelled weird and had a toupee then too. I didn’t know who he was as I was 12 or 13 at the time, and as far as I was concerned this fat man was blocking my way to get to my school. What he was doing outside of Manhattan, I’ve no clue.

          … What?

          I’m sorry - are you asking me when I last met Donald Trump because you think that “real life” means only the people I personally come into contact with, and not, you know, things that really happen in the world?

            Don’t worry too much, you’re all just the fun little people that live in my phone, even Donald Trump is in there!

            Maybe if I shake my phone a bit you’ll fall into the same memory address as him? Worth a shot

          The thing with donald trump is that he WILL tell you just what kind of a person he is… and people will think he’s lying.

          NGL, my first thought for the TV President is that this is just another staged event to rally support around him so as to bolster his sagging ratings… because ultimately it’s only about how liked he is.

          He’s Mr. Popularity after all.

            Kind of my point. You don’t need “this one weird trick” to know he’s a shitbag.

                A picture of Trump smiling isn’t evidence of anything. This might be the way he smiles when he shits himself. And if you want evidence that he is a con man, its not like you have to try very hard. This picture ain’t gonna sway a 3 time Trump supporter, lol. Just admit that you’re having an anti-Trump circlejerk, and I’ll lend you my hand. But acting like you’re outing him using pop psychology you heard about from your moms Readers Digest is top-tier smoothbrain. Gonna analyze his zodiac sign next?

      lemmy’s demographic - terminally online, socially anxious autists who naturally have a hard time reading people.

      How dare you!

      I mean, you’re not wrong but you don’t have to throw it in our faces. lol

          Good question.

          I think in the first instance it was the overly verbose answer to a social media post. That suggests you either have a bit of time on your hands or you have very few people to talk to.

          Secondly, the hints of grandeur in your comment. Calling out Lemmy users as autists. Weird to do that on this platform, of which you are also on.

          But mostly, it’s that you’ve misread the social contract here, and that’s wild as you go on to tell people how to read the situation.

          And so my question was genuine. Are you ok, or is there something going on that you need to talk about?

        Then why did you post it in You Should Know, or mention some junk pop psy garbage? If you wanted to hate on Trump, just make a shitpost in the shitpost sub with the title “I hate this guy”.

      Good post. Well… good edit, because that first paragraph makes no sense. But I agree with the other six!
