No, gaslighting is when you say it’s sunny outside and someone argues that it’s actually cloudy. You can see for yourself that it’s sunny, but they insist it’s not. Usually, it’s not so cut-and-dry, my example is absurd to demonstrate how insane it is. Usually it’s more subtle, like you’re sure you put your keys on the key-hook next to the door, but your spouse says that you didn’t and then finds them in the bathroom or something. You’re 100% sure you put them on the hook, but your spouse is 100% sure you didn’t. (Spoiler, you did, and the spouse moved them, then lied and said you must have done it. The point is to make you doubt yourself.)
- Comment on Diablo 1 and 2 devs secure $4.5 million for a new ARPG: 'We're going back to what made those early Diablo games feel so awesome but taking them in some cool, fresh directions' 3 days ago:
What does that even mean? Why were d1 and d2 good? Plenty of games have come and gone with similar features.
Just as Harry potter wasn’t a great story, but had great timing, I think d2 was the same. It was good but it also was at the right time.

You are a blessed individual. I get them frequently.

- Comment on Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks? 2 months ago:
USA. Been working 20 years. Every job has been 8 to 5, unpaid 1h lunch, 2x15min paid breaks. :(
- Comment on Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice? 2 months ago:
I do care. It makes them happy, I want them to be happy, so transitively, yes.

Thank you for crediting them.

I need friends like you. I would have eaten so much I felt ill. Then helped clean. (I love cleaning, I know I’m weird.)
- Comment on What are the scariest games you've played? 2 months ago:
Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s requiem. It’s an older game, GameCube era. I don’t like horror games and this one isn’t true horror. There are some good jump scares and body horror though. I had to stop after a certain scene because of the jump scares. The sanity system is really great.

- Comment on Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA? 3 months ago:
I’ve also been through at least several primary care physicians because the ones I have seen are so short and don’t really take time to get to know you at all. They just pop in, ask you a handful of questions and leave, if your test results come back with anything abnormal, they say it’s nothing to worry about, they don’t want to take any extra time to help look into anything or diagnose you… like wtf?
Because we’re not people to them. They’re incentivized to treat us like cars. Repair as fast and as many as you can to get the most money.
- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 3 months ago:

emotion, anger and hate requires effort and as a very lazy person it seems like a whole lot of effort misspent
Not to me. Emotions just are. My parents taught me a lot of bigoted ways and those emotions just rise up. I had to argue with myself against those thought, after I moved out and grew up.

Look at the name of the community. Your response isn’t really helpful.

I just cant fathom going to a place and think boy I wish there were more X here.
I can. I can’t learn from or have discussions with people who have literally the same life as me. That’s kinda boring.
Is it an American thing?
Yes. Diversity has been drilled into me my entire life. There are news articles and lawsuits about discrimination all the time. IDK about other countries, but, yeah, diversity is a huge thing in the USA.
- Comment on Why is homebrewing so middle-class, straight, white, male? 5 months ago:
In my post, I linked to a statistics page from a popular homebrewing community. brulosophy.com/…/2024-general-homebrewer-survey-r…
This is not representative of the American demographics. It’s largely skewed. I then went to my regular meeting and saw the same thing. I wondered if there’s a specific reason for the difference. I asked here.

Construing statistics about the people around you?
Huh? I don’t understand the question.
And then being displeased about some fluke in the numbers?
Where did I say I was pleased or displeased?
Like what does it matter??
Look at the name of the community you’re participating in.

- Comment on hexbear visible again? 5 months ago:
What are local-only comms? comms = communications or communities? I’m going to assume communities. Does that mean that hexbear can have communities that only native hexbear users can see?
