  • Oh nooooo

    Jump

  • I joined a large friend group that had been together for 7 or so years. There was a person that I noticed would tell different people slightly different versions of stories. Normally I'd dismiss these as white lies but I noticed a pattern. The person in question saw relationships as transactional and I highly suspected that these white lies revealed a much deeper penchant for emotional manipulation.

    I tried to warn some people that I thought I could trust within the friend group, but this upset some people and I had the step way back. After all, who is the new person to come into this group and fuck things up? I kept my mouth shut and out of the drama as I had to watch this person build a giant rift within the group.

    Thankfully a few people had finally remembered the warning I had given years before and started comparing notes on the stories this person had told everyone. In the end I was vindicated when people started confronting the lies, but a lot of people had to go through therapy for the years of suffering that person caused in the meantime. I'm not giving too many details, but it got bad: suicide attempts, cops, legal battles. I had to just sit there and watch it all.

  • You can't consider that without also considering the alternative: Is going sober at a festival preferable to possibly taking too many edibles while in public?

  • It's absolutely plausible. I know a guy who posts just like this.

  • Don't let others downplay the "quality" of your protest. "It doesn't really matter, does it?" is the #1 enemy of protests.

  • "I specifically requested you NOT do this."

  • The only way to satisfy your curiosity is to go down an extremely depressing rabbit hole. Modern politics makes my explanation more difficult to get across without risking a ton of other baggage, but if we can set that aside for just a moment: A depressing amount of people across history are very willing to believe the most stupid, heinous shit about and around the Jewish people.

  • Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections

  • I remember reading a study years ago that said people are more likely to support a leader who "plays dirty" because 1) they figure other leaders are doing the same so they must level the playing field, and 2) they can turn a blind eye to the misdeeds because it's the leader doing it, not the voters.

  • It would have to involve considering they might be wrong, which requires even the slightest care of being right. And they don't care at all about being right because they have a side to defend and that's all that matters.

  • Talents leave AI companies: "They are putting profits over sanity and safety"

  • Yup. Lots of managers are forcing people to use AI so they can report doing so in their metrics.

  • I really fucking hate how his fans can just listen to him lie like this over and over and it doesn't affect their opinion of him. I remember falling for it a couple times before I started asking "Is this like the last time you promised dates?"

    By that time it was a moot point, however, because that "pedo guy" comment was just around the corner. Now anyone who likes him after that needs to go to therapy to figure out a few things.

    I won't comment on people who support him after the other things.

  • The way I heard it, and it changed my life, was "All advice is autobiographical." You have to filter it through your opinion of the person, how self aware they are, and how much you think they're sincerely trying to think of you when giving advice.

    Edit: And, yes, every time I see this discussed there are droves of snarky people thinking they're being so clever by pointing out the "irony" which I think is really just reflecting their cynicism. Social skills require nuance and understanding that no rule can be applied 100%.

  • It's in line with MLK's Letter From Birmingham Jail. It's the moderates that angered him the most because at least with the KKK both sides understood each other's position. Enabling violence through sheer ignorance despite best intentions is absolutely frustrating in the least.

  • I think it's telling that you're getting down votes without response. Your question is simple: What do we have to gain by turning away potential allies other than massaging our egos?

    It's a good question.
