  • See, the modern use is actually based on popular media portrayals of narcissistic personality disorder

    This is the opposite of true. The adjective "narcissistic" has been in common usage since the late 19th century to mean the exact same thing it means today, i.e. "self-centered." The term "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" wasn't coined until 1968.

    Truly, you're eager to manufacture outrage for some benign things. What's up with that

  • No they don't.

  • But there isn't one single myth, you're only citing Conon's version, which is the only one that fits the narrative you're trying to portray here. Why not Ovid's version? Why not Parthenius's version? Why not Pausanias's version?

  • Dude. If you try to apply 21st century values to ancient Greek mythology, you're going to have a bad time every time. The word "narcissistic" has a meaning in our culture that's entirely distinct from what you describe above and is in no way "queerphobic."

  • Using Proton VPN with YouTube now gives me this.

  • I'm on proton vpn and it works fine for me. I'm using YouTube through Firefox though, not the app, because fuck the app

  • Home Depot in LA installs noise machines that ‘penetrate bones’ to deter day laborers

    Jump

  • Cities should all operate publicly-run day labor programs to protect workers from shit like this and from contractors who would steal their wages or put them in unsafe conditions

    Also boycott Home Depot

  • TIL there are trees called Chinquapins that are closely related to chestnuts, and that the Chinquapin oak is named after Chinquapin trees because its leaves are similar in shape. I had only ever heard of Chinquapin oaks before.

  • White House adds plaques below Biden and Obama portraits calling them ‘the worst President in American history’ and ‘divisive’

    Jump

  • "Gettysburg, wow—I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch. And the statement of Robert E. Lee, who's no longer in favor—did you ever notice it? He's no longer in favor. 'Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.' They were fighting uphill, he said, 'Wow, that was a big mistake,' he lost his great general. 'Never fight uphill, me boys,' but it was too late."

  • White House adds plaques below Biden and Obama portraits calling them ‘the worst President in American history’ and ‘divisive’

    Jump

  • White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “The plaques are eloquently written descriptions of each President and the legacy they left behind. As a student of history, many were written directly by the President himself.”

  • Ok, but the context here is someone using the term "senseless, narcissistic pride," which clearly has nothing to do with what you're talking about

  • When the Glaciers Go, They Won't Come Back

    Jump

  • I appreciate the sense of hope that we can turn this around, however glaciers across the entire world are rapidly shrinking at present, so without immediate and drastic global action, I'm afraid they are all on track to be lost permanently. This will certainly change the water situation around the world, in addition to devastating ecosystems

  • PBS is "the propaganda"?

    Jump

  • How does the state have the power to prevent PBS from being broadcast? PBS is broadcast on affiliate stations that aren't owned by the state (usually)

    Jump

  • The adjective "narcissistic" exists entirely separate from the psychiatric definition of "narcissistic personality disorder" and predates it by millennia. I get the other ones, tho.

    But in this poem, OCD seems like it's a genuine topic, if they're washing their hands until they bleed. I guess maybe there's backstory here I'm not privy to

  • Both Saharan dust and the overwhelming majority of tropical waves would pass well south of this island, imo

  • That island would probably have amazing weather

  • Is entertainment getting worse or am I getting old?

    Jump

  • Entertainment is getting worse and you're getting old. The media landscape has fractured, and there are no dominant cultural touchstones anymore. You're looking for media in all the ways you used to, but everything is different now. There is still plenty of amazing long form content on YouTube, and lots of great movies. You have to do more seeking now, though, where before you could just open up YouTube or turn on the TV
