There's a set of questions an author named Byron Katie wrote about for managing limiting beliefs. First you have to isolate the belief that's causing you pain. Then you ask the following:

1 - Is this belief true?

2 - Can I absolutely know this belief is true?

If you are still saying yes to these you're not ready for 3 and 4.

3 - How do you feel when you believe this? Be sure to go into this really well. I find the more you put into this step the better the results at the last question. So where in your body does the feeling live? What temperature is it? How intense is it out of 10? Is it sharp or dull? Is it dry or wet? Does it change is it constant? Maybe even what color is it? You want to really witness and give credence to this feeling here.

And finally

4 - Who would you be or what would you be doing if you didn't have this belief?

I can guess what answers you'd give here but you know so I don't want to muddy that for you.

Seriously. If this broke him it gets so much worse.. but honestly op, this is how you learn what to do and what not to.

I once installed Ubuntu for an 80 year old Finnish woman who escaped the Nazis as a child running across a frozen lake. This was a decade ago. She took to it like a duck to water and said it was great because it made sense, she could easily install anything and it didn't crash. Give your dad the chance at least.

While what you say might have grains of truth in it, it's likely that the story was originally a warning about eating a poisonous plant that resembles an onion more than an attack on asexuals. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_(plant)

Lol by who? Octogenarian Congress members who get more bribes than emails?

Can I see the equation you're using to calculate these probabilities?

Cats can carry toxoplasmosis which seems to have a correlation to schizophrenia. This could be the cause of crazy cat lady syndrome: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29068607/

Inception is one of the worst executions of an interesting idea. My imagination can imagine anything. Hollywood's? Well I guess you imagined too hard so now there's people with guns. Oh and this applies to everyone.

He's technically correct. As long as the electoral college exists, many peoples votes effectively don't matter because that state will always go one way. Once that occurs, the opposing votes are effectively erased.

I once saw a road sign that was supposed to say Putt Corners but someone painted it to say Butt Corners. Which is amazing because butts don't have corners.
