  • This is a briliant question. I know of a research focused on the positive aspect. Participants, who got to play a game in which they were a superhero and helped people, were immediately afterwards much less hesitant to help (in a staged small accident that happened during the final talk with the examiner). So it seems you could get into habit of helping. I suppose it could work the other way aroud as well and you could build a habit of being selfish and not caring by playing such people. But I suppose most actors don’t play only vilains all the time and have good habits outside the role. Also, playing a vilain can certainly help you connect to and understand your darker sides, which is a great way of getting control of them.



  • I think it is perfectly ok to hate shitty parents. But it seems to me that many people really hate the children, not their parents. Many of them also tend to generalize and hate all children in a simple children-bad manner. I often see people who are not afraid to say they just hate children. I find those people in all groups - some of them are childless, some of them are good parents and some are the shitty ones. It seems to be the popular edgy thing to say.


  • Yes, you can build tolerance to cold temperatures by slow gradual exposure to them. Using cold water at the end of showering and wearing one Layer of clothes less to feel slightly cool (but not freezing) works well. Aside of cold tolerance, the benefits include boosting your imune system, turning your white fat into Brown fat, which is able to burn calories (and make heat from them, that’s why you feel warmer) and lowering inflammation in your body.
