When a person holds an objectively wrong belief and is met with something that proves it objectively wrong, it causes cognitive dissonance if the person doesn't accept the truth.
But what about a subjective belief? They are completely arbitrary and can't be wrong or right for they are just personal opinions.(ex. Action X is moral; food B is unholy)
When a person that holds a subjective belief is met with a different or opposite belief, if that person doesn't accept it, can we still talk about cognitive dissonance or it's something else?
Plus, what do you think about completely refusing to change your subjective beliefs? Is it a good or bad thing for you? And why?

One more thing: in The third period for"different or opposte beliefs" I'm still talking about subjective beliefs.

Great question, actually had to do some research on this one.
Cognitive dissonance is actually just refusal to change opinions, yet you're still inconsistent with them. Basically, it's not admitting you're wrong. Cognitive dissonance is commonly observed in social behaviour. When someone has an inconsistent attitude or belief. Basically like Hillary Clinton. Realistically, all you can do is make someone THINK. Everyone experiences and causes cognitive dissonance during any form of debate or even a conversation. So yes, it would still be cognitive dissonance, as it is not OBJECTIVE denial of truth. It would more likely be inconsistency of thought and/or actions.

Need suggestions/advice on how to stop a grown-ass man from terrorizing and now FB stalking my 84yo widowed mom. He trespasses in her yard at night, parks his cars to block her driveway, throws trash in her yard and now he is using FB to incite his "church" members to take revenge on her. She is a crippled little old lady, and he is a "super christian" nutjob. I'm worried he or his "church" will hurt her. She cries a lot. I'll post his email if some trolling will persuade him to stop. Already tried praying, to no avail. Can't beat his ass as I'm just a smallish chick. Help?

He hasn't done anything technically against the law, according to the local PD. Just being a jerk.

It's alright, but you could do a little better. I'd go for a bigger SSD, bigger HDD, cheaper motherboard, 16gb RAM.

I'm in a slump of sorts but nothing too bad.
Will not masturbating help? I masturbate atleast twice a day. I think I'm addicted if I don't do it everyday I feel pent up and listless.
It was not like I was a genius before I started masturbating daily and I'd always find ways to procrastinate but will abstaining help my focus, will it give me drive?

I haven't jerked off in a couple of days now (5-7, im unsure). I'm used to doing it at least three times a day.
I don't notice a difference. Only thing I'm noticing is a constant throbbing ache between my legs.
>>
Nah, official definition of addiction here is that it gets in the way of living your life, eg when you risk getting fired at work jerking off in the bathrooms for prolonged times because you can't hold it until you're home, or canceling/showing up way late to things you looked forward to so you can jerk off instead.
If you just masturbate because you have the urge and it feels good it's all good. If you find the idea of jerking off humiliating/emasculating then you might feel better about yourself if you stop, but the idea that nofap magically makes you a testosterone drenched beast of a man is some serious wishful thinking.

My gf dumped me back in mid august.
For 30 days I kept on pestering her, pushing her further away, until I asked to meet up in mid September and we did. We cleared up everything and it went amazing..Wrong kissed, hugged, laughed, etc. And we hung out for two and a half hours
Later that month the we met up again at a bar, then walked around. Hung out for four hours, I gave her a $150 diamond necklace.
Early this month my dad bumped I to her at the grocery store she works at, and it went amazing. She huggdd him and said how much she misses my family etc.
So anyway this month, mid October, we had a major misunderstanding over the phone and haven't spoken since. I wrote a heartfelt apology letter, made a personalized charm bracelet, and bought a personalized apology card. Stuffed it all in an envelope and had my dad give it to her. This was a week ago.
Question is - what should my next step be? Just wait? What if its like December and still nothing, but she's still single etc ?

she soaked my shirt in her tears the day we split
And our two meet ups were amazing, and she's never completely wrote me off. I mean cmon, hugging my dad back when and saying how she misses the family etc...
Even during our last toxic call that started the silent treatment, she didn't write me off. She said she'd talk with friends and family first if a guy comes along. Of course, I sent her the epic apology envelope afterwords so I'm thinking that had to have gave her some emotion
She said it was a split between things that I was doing, and internal shit that never got sorted out since she was a teenager. I have no idea what they are to this day...she mentioned it back when we were together, though.
I don't k ow if its sexual assault or wjat happened, but anysay she's always had a terrible time at telling me what was on her mind, so she bottled up the shit I was doing until she called it off. But we were madly in love with each other.
That's why I thinkwe still have a chance, our love was so strong. I k ow love changed since the break up, and I know that I've changed since rbe breakup, but I don't know to show her.
I do kind of like the no contact we're doing now though, I wish we would have done it right when we first broke up in mid August, it would have made everything less confusing and chaotic.

For like the 5th in my life or so, I just experienced this same scenario:
>Meet QT3.14
>Take her out to lunch
>Flirt with her
>She asks me for second date
>I ask her after class if she is still good for today
>“I have to ask my boyfriend first anon :)”
Seriously why? Why waste my time? Why even go out and hang with other dudes if you have no intention of dating?
Don’t give me that “just friends xD” crap either, it was CLEARLY a date.

Nights out are "dates", you get lunch with your gay friend.

I have an idea. Bear with me, it's pretty out there, but it just might work.
Okay here goes:
Before you ask them out somewhere, find out if they're single or not.

>>17725969
I guess I just assume that if someone is going to accept, that they aren’t already in a relationship.

I feel ready to leave.
A few months ago, I found out my boyfriend of 6 years, continues a close, flirtatious "friendship" with an ex from an online relationship. Ranging from flirty texting to talking on the phone at night for hours.
We broke up that day. Then he came crawling back claiming that he would delete her from everything if I'd just stay with him. I said ok.
From what I could see from Facebook stalking, i could not tell if they were friends as both of their friends are hidden. Today, I saw that she liked one of his pictures. Thus confirming that he did not delete her.
I am triggered. I won't see my bf til tomorrow. Don't want to text about it or argue on the phone. I'm ready to break up. But I am also ready to lose it and I'm about to head to work and it feels like I'm going to angry vomit and cry.
Am I losing it over the right things? Would you consider this cheating? What do? How to survive?

This leads me to assume they are still talking on his phone.
I don't scope out his phone, but he is overprotective of it, it has a password and can't leave it unattended around me. Also, he is particularly defensive of his messages and snapchat.
On its face, I understand no one wants anyone invading privacy. But because of this I have doubts.
>>
Unfortunately he's not 100% committed to you. Break up and keep your chin up.
>>
>>17725841
He didn't respect his part of the deal, I would say it's fair for you to break up with him

So I'm in one of those student living apartments where they'll randomly match you with someone after filling out a form.
The problem is that the office responsible has matched me with someone who smokes, and I have a brain tumor. It qualifies me as being disabled in my college (according to the disability accommodations offices). I can't be around smoke at all. Granted, tenants are only allowed to smoke outside on the patio next to the unit, not inside, but if any of you've lived with a smoker you know it gets everywhere. It gets in clothes, hair, furniture, anything that can absorb it will absorb it. Not to mention, now I can't go on a patio that I pay money to have.
The office knows about this, and they set me up with a smoker. She just walked in the door. I had talked to her beforehand and had what I thought was a lovely conversation and agreed that we wouldn't be able to live peacefully together.
Few days later I got the bitchiest letter from the student living office telling me I was basically a judgmental cow and that I should respect my new roommate. And that she would be moving into the room.
That's when I freaked out a little bit because holy shit these people. My back and left arm ached, face went numb, I couldn't talk properly, I thought I was having a heart attack and called the 911s. EMT guys showed up, things calmed down after they got there. I've had one panic attack in my life and it was nothing like that, but it could very well have been one.
Anyway, the question. Do I have the grounds to sue or to take any legal action here? I've been trying to get the damn lease terminated and just get the hell out, but the office has told me the only options I have are to lease out the space or pay them the fees for them lease it out. I'm in the state of Texas, I dunno if that makes a difference.
Should I at least get a lawyer?

You sound like a whiney bitch. Your room mate could probably tell in that one conversation, which is why she agreed you two would be bad roommates.
>>
Um. People don't smoke inside
>>
>>17725786
maybe talk to your doctor so he can write a letter which states that you must not live with a smoker (even if that person only smokes outside).
that way, they cannot let you live together with a smoker, because they would be responsible for any complications if they knowingly ignored this.

I am in love with a girl who I have a history with, but she doesn't seem interested in me anymore. We weren't together, but we were talking for a little less than a year.
I can't eat, can't sleep, etc.
How do I get her attention? Do I message her? If so, what do I say?

It's hard when she was 2000 miles away.
We met right before she left. She's back now, but she isn't too responsive to my messages and we haven't spoken in about two months.
Maybe little messages here and there, just me trying to start a convo.
>>
>>17725781
You text her this: 'Listen, bitch, you want to be together or not?' Or something along those lines. And if she says yes, hurrah! If she says no, open your eyes and start looking at women who want relationships. If she doesn't answer, she's a little flat chested ho - not worth your time bb.
So, here's my problem, I'm french and I no longer have a job, have been in bad terms with my family and have a consequent amount of money so I was wondering if I should move to the US
I really love the US and it really feel like a fantastic country and I can no longer stand the people of Paris
Can Americans tell me if it's a good idea to move to the US, where to move ect ?

Le plus important c'est d'obtenir un visa, et pour l'avoir il faut d'abord soit être étudiant soit trouver un boulot AVANT d'y aller.
De plus, il faut que tu saches que NYC et LA ne ressemblent pas au reste des É.-U.

>>17725779
go take a vacation to the US for about two weeks and you'll know whether you want to live here or not.
Good places to take vacations are NOT Jew York. If you like bombastic activity, California and Nevada (Las Vegas) are good for that. Flordia is really warm and has lots of beaches (and also Disney World)
>>
>>17725874
2 weeks of vacation is not nearly enough time to determine whether you want to become an expat or not. I would recommend 3-6 months minimum to have an idea of what it's really like to live in any given country.

So I started hooking up with a really close friend recently. She broke up with her boyfriend because she wanted to be with other people. We both made it clear that neither of us would catch feelings, and we've been fucking and stuff for about a week.
She hooked up with some guy from tinder last night, and even though I knew she would, (she told me she wanted to be with different guys) I cant shake this upset feeling. Im pretty damn sure I didnt fall for her or anything, I guess it just makes me feel like Im not good enough for her sexually, as if Im inadequate. I mean she seemed to appreciate my impossibly huge dick pounding her cervix but that wasnt enough?
Is this a normal reaction? Why am I such a nigger faggot?

I could do with some advice here. It's about a woman I've just recently started dating. Some background on us, we're both 34 right now, we were boyfriend and girlfriend from the age of 16 to 18, lost our virginity to each other, were in love etc, but some shit went down with my family (mom cheated on dad basically) and we ended up splitting up cause I was going through some shit and my family ended up moving to save my parents marriage. We did see each other for 16 years, during which time she was married, had three kids now aged 10 to 6. She also has another kid (4 in total) who was an accident 2 years ago and whose father basically wanted her to abort the kid and left when she didn't. I meanwhile have never been married, although I was close once, and have no kids.
Anyway, she recently contacted me on FB and after chatting about old times we met up and really hit it off. To be honest we pretty much fell in love again straight away. It's only been a couple of months but it's been amazing.
My only problem is I'm pretty much heartbroken about not having a family and finding myself massively regretting not contacting her earlier in our lives. I met her youngest kid last weekend for the first time and he was a great kid. But that just made me sadder that I'm not going to get to have that with her. I'm feeling like if I'm going to have a family at any point I should be with a girl who is ready to have one and not this girl who already has all the kids she wants. But then at the same time I feel like she's the love of my life and I've just fucked up by not being with her earlier. It's pretty much breaking my heart. We're also having to do things long distance at the moment, about an hour and a half drive between us, which isn't easy either as her weekends aren't always free.
So I'm unsure what to do. I don't want to lose her but I'm finding it hard to deal with the fact I'll never have a family of my own with her.
Wat do /adv/? Any questions ask away.

Just a small anecdote from my sphere of vision - I have an aunt with three grown-up kids, who also have kids. My aunt split from her husband around ten years ago, and then met and married a really great guy who I love to pieces. He suffered from alcoholism in his youth, which I think possibly accounts for his lack of offspring, but they're perfect for each other. He's really close to my aunt's kids and grandkids, and literally is the grandfather. He loves them and is family, regardless of how the cosmos chose to intertwine their lives (biologically, etc). They married when they were around 50, and are honestly probably the strongest couple I know. You can tell they're in love and are perfect for each other. I'm sure the thought has crossed my uncle's mind, but equally, I don't think he'd change the life he's had for the world.
