I mean yeah we have a short term memory, working memory, and long term memory that are used differently for different things

Okay, and that's you, but your philosophy doesn't apply to everyone else's, and if you don't agree with the post then scroll on, but don't act like everyone has the same opinions as you. Plus, I doubt you're not on any professional sports teams, but when your city's team makes it to the finals, then you'd be rooting for them, and not some other random team, which directly contradicts your point that if you're not on it, then you don't care about them.

Reply to Halloween and 4th of July always occur on the same day of the week. by BlueSpeedMouse17

Isn't there an USA reddit that this belongs in?

Because no-one else celebrates 4th July (unless it's their birthday) and halloween is ... again, meh? Just an excuse for the shopping megamarts to try to sell more crap to gullible idiots?

I get that if 4th July is a Thursday then so is All Hallow's Eve (not that I've checked on this at all) but... yeah, nice, for the tiny fraction of humanity that celebrates both of these, well done now go away...

I’ve always not cared about global warming, because that just means eventually we’ll all die and the earth will get to recover. We’ll either get it right or die not trying.

This may be true but I would bet that the planet life adapts to change as it has with every extinction event.

Having said that we are probably only 1-200 years from a self sustaining off-world colony. 1000 years from interstellar travel. These timescales are miniscule to the planet. Exciting stuff!

It also puts all my embarrassing and cringe moments in the spotlight on repeat, and sweeps all of my winning moments under the rug never to be thought of again.
