Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

  • Terminal tho. But honestly, for me, shit’s the same. Windows deals with most of it in the background (didn’t use 11, dunno how it does it. Prolly sets PC on fire. ), then prompts you for install.

    When I tried Linux, terminal screamed at me, weird menus popped and update failed on me in two distros. :| But I chalk it up to me still being a newb xD


  • My partner’s mother gaslights a lot. Think about scenario: She does something wrong, she backs off from situation for a few days to allow memories to wane a bit, then grabs the weakest link and starts bending the truth to paint herself in a bit better light at worst, and at best, shift whole fault on another person. She focuses on small, easily misremembered parts of story, and if you call her bullshit, she will accuse you of either not remembering or twisting it against her.

    And she did that to my partner for their whole childhood and now my partner fights depression and lack of feeling of self worth. Also reacts to “I remember it differently” with aggression, which bites me in the ass but at least shields her from her mother.

    I grew up with another gaslighter, my granny, who reframed and twisted everything to be my mothers fault and if she tried to defend then it was her remembering wrong, “not seeing such simple stuff” or being against granny. She did so with malice and ruined my mothers mental health. Same with her (granny’s) husband, who literally hanged himself.

    Both cases were narcissistic but I can see someone using it out of other reasons.


  • If you don’t hear it often? Sans gaslighting, “maybe you need it then”.

    Always rethink your position and switch PoV for the other side for a bit mentally. But if you get back to where you are, feel free to feel attacked lol. Mostly due to phrasing. This is accusation, and accusations aren’t thrown out of good will.

    With gaslighting, just wave your hand, say whatever and change topic. Either you got too emotional and focused on needing to win, or the other person is willing to throw anything at you because they feel attacked and already full on with defence. No moving there either way. Just drop it and move on.







  • Friend got hit by a car when on bike, went flying, rolled over the car, smacked into the road.

    Got up, checked bike first, sighted and started dragging it’s carcass back home.

    …but to be honest, dude was kinda indestructible and totally the exemption in every dangerous situaiton.









  • Wasn’t it that Satan did 4 things?

    • A bit of arrogant rant that he is not gonna serve humans. Got thrown to hell. By all loving father. Yeah.
    • Still pissed, nudged Eve to break the God rule about apple. God had a meltdown and not only banished but also cursed Adam and Eve.
    • Teased Jesus to break his goal. Didn’t work.
    • Teased God on few occassions about devotion of humans. Then God made people suffer to prove his point.

    Like, Lucifer always seemed to me more like disgruntled old family friend/worker than some evil guy.
