“I can’t force the world to behave as I would like it, so I may as well not have morals”

You’re an edgelord? That’s a pre-existing condition.

Do you seriously not get I was messing with you? I literally exhibited the behavior described as gaslighting in the same message where I pasted the definition. I tried to be as obvious as possible and apparently even that wasn’t enough.

Or are you just butthurt about the parts where you didn’t bother to search?

Require or ask? I think technically it’s not required, but you have to pass two polite barriers (entrance and to order) to get there so you reallllly have to want $1.50 hot dogs.

More of a dog guy but I get it, I get it. I love their dumb stupid little faces.

Agreed

Webster

psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one’s emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator

Can you spot the difference? I cannot. And cats still can’t do this.

Also, it was coined in a play before that.

Again, it’s 2024, this is easy shit.

I mean… people like you are part of why shitty things stay shitty. If that’s how you want to live you can, but this patronizing sense of superiority you seem to feel is what hurts society.

slow clap wooo you are charging only 100% profit on those goods in a completely closed high-security environment, good on you for not price gouging as much anymore!!!

Not really a loss either. They charge $60 for membership.

I do think if you worked those brain cells an extra 5-10 seconds you would have realized the conversation going on

Isn’t it weird how some people care more about cats than people or, often, themselves?

Thankfully it’s the year 2024 so if you literally spent 5 seconds doing a search you would find a real definition

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that hinges on creating self-doubt. “I think of gaslighting as trying to associate someone with the label ‘crazy,’” says Paige Sweet, Ph.D., an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Michigan who studies gaslighting in relationships and in the workplace. “It’s making someone seem or feel unstable, irrational and not credible, making them feel like what they’re seeing or experiencing isn’t real, that they’re making it up, that no one else will believe them.”

Cats cannot do this.

I don’t want to be the person that brings a real definition into a fun thread, but your complete lack of logical, sane thought on the subject drove me to it. This is your fault.

Have you considered trying out therapy? It takes some time to find a good person, and there’s a lot of wooo people out there, but some are good.

Did you try letting them scratch under your collar?

That’s a side effect of YouTube messing with the streams to try to break downloaders. Obvs a dedicated downloader like ytdlp handles YouTube jerking the chain around better than a tool intended for viewing.

My understanding is you’re pretty much only gonna get those broken up streams especially for piratey content like music videos and tv shows. Ytdlp will join with ffmpeg.

Oh. That’s a looooot of inferred context from one line of a tweet.

Dunno what Gary’s mod is. I mean I’ve heard of it but only from the context of people who think it’s so well-known it requires no explanation, so I’ve stubbornly refused to learn what it is.

Exactly, so he’s just now turning into his final adult sets of ideas and personality.

But since F5 is and has been for 30 years the universal refresh button I never needed to learn that some software uses a different, undiscoverable key combination.

That’s silly, a shocking amount of media sources are in cover their ass mode not just fox. LinkedIn has posts. Twitter has posts. Even SNL, shockingly, is a little bit “can we not be cheering a killer on air?”

So…I call bs, this is everywhere.
