Right. I have difficulty suspending disbelief so sometimes jokes like this just confuse me.

Yes, usually such people are advised by their doctors to avoid such ingredients.

How was that alluded to in the OP? Eating it isn't the same as injecting it. It's a normal ingredient in electrolyte drinks and rehydration salts. It's also prescribed for hypokalemia.

I don't understand this post. Salt doesn't mean sodium. NaCl and KCl are both salts, and this is a 50/50 blend with less sodium (Na) for the people who need/want that. Am I missing something?

I'm not sure this is actually narcissism. I felt very similar throughout my teens, but it is something I grew out of in my early/mid 20s. I think there are a few reasons for this. Often, people just grow out of it, through brain development or just spending more time around other people. Empathy can also be intentionally strengthened like a muscle.

I studied psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and logic to understand the general human mind. When you study a lot of things, you learn how little you know. You also get to see how much better other people are at certain things. I no longer assume I'm smarter than anyone else even if it's obvious in one particular subject or several subjects, because they are probably smarter than me in other ways.

I also saw a therapist and spent more time around other people. I made an effort to understand others' points of view, asking questions if needed, and really tried to imagine their life experiences and how they could come to feel or believe certain things. This will be an exercise at first but it eventually comes naturally for the most part.

The civil war was mainly because one of the mods went on Fox News, and it did not go well.

They can at least verbalize that they saw something funny so that I know they're actually willing/ready to share because I hate asking and then waiting as they finish watching/reading/texting.

Just go to the instance website and there will be a link to the modlog usually at the bottom of the page.

You can major in Liberal Arts at some schools, but many call it General Studies. It's basically for when you can't decide on a major.

That saying really bothers me too, but mainly because I'm always hearing it. For example, programming is often really difficult for me because I have a hard time thinking about the big picture, and I struggle to break the task down into parts that work together. I often get too hung up on small details.
