- Comment on Why is hatred/dehumanization of the working class so prominent in the UK, when about 60% of the UK population is working class? 1 week ago:
-
Chav does not mean “working class people” and is not a “slur”.
-
You’ve got to be the same person with the chav fetish looking for a “polite” chav synonym for your romantic interests and then attacking people.
If you don’t like that word, don’t use it so much.

Yup. High school methods can be a rush, but boy can they be harmful.

Now you know!
You took a shot, didn’t hit it’s done, somewhere in there is something you can use to positive effect in the future.

If it goes through, it goes, if it doesn’t it doesn’t.
If you’ve already upset her enough that she’s cut contact, she likely won’t respond either way.
And either way, you can let her get back to her life and try to become a positive experience in other people’s lives going forward.
- Comment on What happens to cult leaders in prison? 2 weeks ago:
Dang, it’s pretty common behavior, unfortunately. I’ve been guilty of it.
At least you’ve recognized your manipulation; that means you can change.
It doesn’t sound like you should interact with this woman you’re referring to any more, because an apology won’t help her with what’s already happened and being around you at all could upset her more.
But the world is big and keeps going on. You could try to make amends by being supportive and helpful to other people, even those you don’t know yet, counter your negative experiences with positive ones.
Maybe one day after you’re more in control of those manipulative tendencies, the opportunity will come up for you to apologize.
If it doesn’t, it doesn’t, but you can become a positive experience in people’s lives going forward, regardless.
- Comment on What happens to cult leaders in prison? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, questions you know the answer to is a good option, but the way the person answers you can confuse the truth anyway through indirect methods.
Are they making you think your own experiences and memories are invalid, so their story becomes more plausible?
Do they suggest their poor behavior is actually your fault?
Any time you bring up an issue to someone and rather than directly addressing the issue, the person brushes aside the issue to focus on a new topic, especially one that implicates or blames you, that’s a huge red flag signaling manipulation and you should be on guard.
If they keep doing it and you find yourself stuck or trapped in the conversation, admitting guilt you aren’t sure you own or even agreeing with something you know is incorrect, the sooner you leave, physically just walk away from them, and keep walking away, the better.
If you’re getting turned around in a conversation, the longer you let them tell you stories, the more convincing those stories will become and can harm your wellbeing.

Do you mean expose them as a liar?
Questions you know the answer to is certainly a viable method to determine who is a liar.
- Comment on What happens to cult leaders in prison? 2 weeks ago:
Cult personalities aren’t just another criminal any more than they are just another person.
They used their charisma and cunning to influence people, and unless they’re manson-level, many cult leaders do a few years in prison, get out and then do what they were doing before but more quietly.

I’m with you, Mario 64 is one of my all time favorites.
i still play it every few years and sometimes I’ll get the urge to watch the latest world-record speedrun, it’s so much fun to even just watch.
pretty much the only game i do that with.
great screenshots too. there are so many mods for SM64 but I almost always play vanilla, so it’s fun to see you guys as different characters.
SM64 Toad is a psychopath for sure.
congrats on getting to share the game with your friend, and almost hitting a year with your screenshots!

- Comment on What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't? 5 months ago:
Yes. Sopranos glorifies a weak-willed bully exacting revenge and exerting control through violence and intimidation. the fact that you mention you were not rooting for tony ny the end implies you understand that’s not the commonly held audience reaction.
that coward is the antihero of the show named after him, glorifying his life and his choices. fuck him, his wife and his shitheel buddies, I’m not interested in exalting the sliver of humanity in assholes who chose to hurt and exploit others for their own gain.
there’s plenty of that in the real world.

sopranos. a bunch of irritating assholes taking advantage of people for their own gain.
the show begs the audience to feel bad and root for selfish, harmful parasites. no thanks.

I know it should have been earlier, but that really is the last straw for buying Nintendo products for me.

I laughed at this, but now I might actually show it to her.
the longer that story goes on the less ridiculous it seems. I have a more favorable impression of the skibidi toilet series than I do of the official transformers movies.

memeoffice.
didn’t think msoffice would be the easiest platform to build memes/diagrams on.
I actually didn’t even know office could build something that complicated.
