Jup, something is missing in this story.

This is the OG “mods are asleep” meme.
- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 2 weeks ago:
An interesting addendum to your question: this is not a exclusively US based phenomenon. In Germany there are the Reichsbürgers they have similar ideas.
They think legally the state has no claim to rule and most people just don’t know they still live in the German Reich still.
So they have their own king selling them passports and they have pretty aggressive group think to try and enforce their claims.
My wife’s dad is one of them. The main thing I recognize comes from a pathological need to know better than everybody else. It’s very tightly coupled to their sense of worth and identity. They are better than everybody else because they have seen the light.
Pretty culty behavior and just enough pseudo truth to keep simple minds saying “yeah there might be something there”. Like “vaccination causes autism, they just don’t want you to know”.
Makes a loser in societies eyes, but a superhuman in their eyes. And yes, they still run into a wall and just keep trying to adjust their angle to hit that sacred sweet spot. Because now they need to prove how they are better and as they already have sacrificed so much they can’t be wrong to continue. (Just like a gambler who already lost a lot.)
So it’s a few psychological dynamics that grip into each other like gears and that ratchet them ever so tightly to their belief until there is no turning back.

Someone listens to Andrew Tate a little too much.
- Comment on Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays? 4 weeks ago:
Sometimes that’s regional. Are you located in Bavaria? I don’t know any German man that use makeup at all.

Reminds me of the dead sailors that would be sewn into their hammock and thrown overboard. And just to make sure they were really dead, they would sew one stitch through the nose.

Project management. There is one very good but old solution, open project is barely bearable.

Life advice from an old’ish dude: find a girl when you are broke. She will always love you, not the money. She will also love you in hardship and she won’t care if you go for a walk or watch Netflix because it’s cheaper. :)

Does nobody see an old lady walking her demented and loaded husband in front of a train?

You are not alone. In fact this is pretty common. My wife has similar struggles:

As you already said, it’s caused by parents that don’t give you a safe and living emotional environment in early childhood.
- Comment on A stranger peeled the clearcoat off my car 2 months ago:
The streaks kinda look like someone poured a liquid there which migrated outwards under the paint. Maybe paint thinner or break fluid? Any neighborhood beef?
- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 3 months ago:
Not to mention alcohol. It’s called a beer belly for a reason.
- Comment on Is there any non-zero possibility Musk was not doing a Hitler Salute? 3 months ago:
Watch it again. It seems there is a split second hesitation before the first salute. Followed by a “let’s just get that done full force” move. Kinda like people that are about to do a stunt the first time. One last “are we really going to try that?”. It kinda implies intent and also that there is some sanity left there to make these decisions. Which gives me hope it’s just Putin having a video of him and he is acting under duress. So definitively an intentional Nazi salute. Should try that in Germany and see how fast he gets arrested for that shit.
- Comment on if you do a physically demanding job and end up with sore and painful legs, does it help to jog after your shift? 5 months ago:
Exercise is known to reduce inflammation. Maybe you have some inflammatory (t)issues? Maybe your immune system attacking something? I’m not a doctor, so this is not medical advice.

Hate to break it to you… 42 didn’t make it the first study. In the second study they just named three troublemaker 42 again… And he also didn’t make it. After a study, all those rats just go to a big farm to live out their lives in peace. Not.

You are correct. That’s what Nazis do. Don’t sink to their level.

- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 6 months ago:
Pretty sure any serious answer needs to factor in where there insulation sits. It’s not only about heating a space but how much you need to heat continually to keep it warm.

Sorry to tell you. Controling parents exist independent of the times. Them calling the police on you is a classic abusive move which is shitty behavior in it self, but the strain on society is fucked up as well. Classic narcist behavior. We love our parents either way deep down, but no need to make excuses for them. Go be happy, enjoy your life, do better with your kids. Help them become independent while being safe. Trust me they will still love you. Stop the cycle. <3
