Actually insane

I know kany people forgot about that sub in the first place so if you're not aware for the past month they're having another Hogwarts Legacy moment over the Korean coomer game (Stellar Blade). Literally gazillion posts about it on the front page

Bonus points for the top comment saying that women have patriarchy and misogyny fetish because they want to self insert as sexy

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend is 18 years younger than I am. Our relationship hasn't been perfect, but I love him to death. Unfortunately, I'm going through menopause and have all the side effects. Long story short, he found another girl. It was just supposed to be for s*x, and he told me he wouldn't get into another relationship or marry anyone but me. Well, he fell for her, which I warned him he was going to do.

They are both at my apartment. I'm trying to make him happy by allowing this, but he can be so mean to me, and he's so nice to her. He tells me how nice she is, etc. I told him it's because he hasn't hurt her yet. He won't have s*x with me now. He claims he isn't favoring her, but he is.

I love him so much, and don't want to lose him. I'm in so much pain because I can't please him in every way. I don't know what to do. Should I allow this and try to make it work, or should I give up since it seems like he has given up on me? --- CAN'T STOP CRYING

DEAR CAN'T STOP: Let me get this straight. Your much younger boyfriend and his new girlfriend live in your apartment (rent-free), and he no longer makes love with you. What are you getting out of this charade besides pain?

If I thought it would help, I'd advise you to stick it out and hope his romance will blow over. But I can't --- because whatever respect and gratitude he felt for you is gone. The pain you are experiencing will end only when you find your self-respect and usher the two lovebirds out the door. For your own sake, please do it soon.

DEAR ABBY: I am SUPER outgoing! Always have been. I can walk up to anyone and start a conversation. As I've gotten older, I've noticed that many people have no personality. During the pandemic it became exponentially worse. Neighbors don't speak. People look at their phones every waking minute and have lost their conversational skills. It is pathetic.

I don't know people's backgrounds or interests just by looking at them. I'm smart, but I'm not telepathic. If people don't know how to simply say "hi" or "good morning," something is wrong! COVID shut things down. But if you weren't friendly before the pandemic, how are you going to be five years from now? Humanity is doomed if we don't interact. --- FRIENDLY IN THE EAST

DEAR FRIENDLY: The COVID disruption may have contributed to what you are describing, but it had been building for at least the past 20 years. As people became more and more fixated on their electronic devices, the ability to look someone in the eye and converse withered.

If you don't look someone in the eye and communicate in person, the ability to read social cues withers and is eventually lost. I believe this has caused much of the isolation and loneliness we are experiencing in our society. If we are going to fix this, people will have to teach themselves to unplug and reach out to the people around them. Making the time to exchange social amenities as simple as smiling and saying, "Good morning," is an easy place to start.

Congratulations to you! I think this was a pretty decent turnout, though I think it's sad @911roofer's 'cow reached as a few votes as it did. Honestly they were all pretty darn good!

Outside of the sub echochambers, the normal consensus appears to be that the show vastly failed to capture any of the magic or uniqueness of the books.

"I don't agree with this person about this particular show, but there isn't anything inherently wrong with being easily entertained. What a weird choice of insult."

WRONG WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!

Respecting people who has the objective bad opinion about media is allowing Foids to ruin your stuff and hobbies!!!!!!!!!!!11111

giving phil a boost to his self-esteem 15:41

Sing to me, O Jinxthinker, of that man of many troubles, DSP, skilled in all ways of contending, who wandered far after he helped sack the gaming industry. Sing through me, and tell the story of his suffering, his trials and adventures, and his bloody homecoming

• He's basically been sexualizing female adult women all day

• 2 elder males 40s-50s buzzed his door to enter the apartment building but he didn't let them in. They possibly parked their cars in a specific spot to hide them from Mr. Thinker. They knocked on some doors including Jinxthinker's "fricked up" neighbor and a downstairs person's door after which he heard some enteries and exiteries. Later Jinxthinker went to the store like a bravery style man for energy drinks. 0:20

• His stated goal is now to raise DarkSydePhil's self esteem and mental fortitude. This will be done by singing Phil a song from the soundtrack for the TV show Victorious. It's a good jinxshow, and Victoria Justice signed Jinxthinker's CD once. Sings "Make it Shine" which he describes as a Hitler esque victory march (2:50-5:50). Interjects "fascination like fascism" while singing. 1:45

• Applauses his singing and begins to rant about why the "P-dophile Preservation Society" hates Phil- he has the prestige, power, money, luxury mansion, fast cars, and women as a heterosexual. 5:50

• Jinxthinker's ideal women are adults heavily into cigarettes, tattoos, and video games.

• He challenges anyone in the world to best of 9 him in any game including Elden Ring. He goes on to lay out no bullshit rules only pro rules. 7:00

• Spontaneously joins back into the song that's playing in the background. Victoria Justice needs to be more famous and shit. 7:50

• We look at AI gens again. No blue aliens today.

• Jesus was murdered at the age Jinxthinker is now. Conicidence?

• DSP needs to get his shit together and start a porn site with his wife 10:00

• Jinxthinker used to be anti-Phil because he used to be racist and shit, until he realized like why, right? He gave that up for negros and DSP. He was only racist because of peer pressure. 10:45

• Phil's Enemies include: P-dophile Cute twink Forums, the Fricking Forums, Andrew Anglin. Talks about Phil besting Muhammad in a UFC fight. 12:10

• Motivational speech for Phil. Includes a bit where he turns his head 90 degrees to the right and points at a wall calling it bro and telling it that we need to round up and kill our enemies (you will know them because they watch anime) 13:45

• Known anime enjoyers/dens of anime: Osama Bin Laden, Andrew Anglin, P-do Farms, Reddit, Pedorama. They pretend to hate eachother like it's the WWE 14:50

• DSP stands in support of John Calvin

Never have I seen so many governments and powerful institutions bend at the knee for Israel to silence overwhelming public support for Palestine

its literally illegal to question certain things in many countries, that should be all a person with critical thinking needs to know

Don't worry, soon enough the government will start planting Nazi flags, Trump flags, and flat Earther nonsense in the protests to demonize you. There will be marches by some folks in matching clothes who arrive in the back of a U-Haul.

THIS TIME THE DEATH SQUADS WILL BE REAL GUISE TRUST ME

Get out and talk to real people. There is not overwhelming support for Palestine in the US. Americans identify more with the cops than the fat enby protesters. Not a judgment call - just reality.

this party pooper ruining things

You are getting it backwards, really. >Israel has no power, they exist because America wants them to. They're a useful regional power and ally against Iran. If the US stopped supporting them they wouldn't exist. Criticism of Israel and zionism gets shut down so fast because its criticism of US imperialism. Zionism is just a convenient cover.

2020 Lockdowns had nothing to do with Covid, and everything to do with expanding. the bounds of governmental control, surveillance, and propaganda (I'm not saying Covid wasn't real, I'm saying it's not why we had "Lockdowbs" shutting down schools, hospitals (yes, hospitals), and other vital services leading to overall more death, comorbidities, and mental health issues---which we are ABSOLUTELY still in the wake of and will be for a while, check Sweden against it's comparable neighbors.

That is to say, a LOT of this, has ZERO to do with neither Israel NOR Gaza, and everything to do with power-grabs & power-moved which can serve as a guise for being "about Israel" or "about Gaza" or about "maintaining civility" "peace" "safety", etc.

Remember the phrase "Abundance of caution" in 2020? There are so many games being played at so many levels. That's why the gravitation towards conspiracy feels so strong.

So, tomorrow will see @HumzaYousaf stepping down and @neilcgray being the SNP choice to replace him. You heard it here first!

Or maybe not

/r/Scotland seem to have completely turned on the SNP at this point

For context the National is the paper for Scottish independence fanatics

He probably won't have much of a choice in the matter though

https://old.reddit.com/r/Scotland/comments/1ccpvcm/scottish_tories_to_lodge_noconfidence_vote_in/?sort=controversial

Humza just essentially kicked the Greens out of Scottish government too so I'm sure they'll all be super keen to keep him in power

https://old.reddit.com/r/Scotland/comments/1ccvlxz/yousafs_fate_hangs_on_single_msp_as_greens_will/?sort=controversial

The MSP who he's relying on left the party due to their policies too

Update: he's now grovelling to the Greens to try and get them back on side

Niru is a very famous MapleStory streamer who became the first person to ever reach 299 lvl. Ever since then a huge amount of people in the community have been watching his streams and waiting for him to get to lvl 300, even the devs were watching him. In his final stream, he managed to get 299 99.99% and immediately logged off the game and started shit-talking the devs right in front of 20k viewers on Twitch

What's even funnier is the fact that the official Maplestory account on Twitter had already made a tweet congratulating him

https://twitter.com/MapleStory/status/1783562860108316936

The devs even promoted the stream through in-game banner but when he started ranting the banner instantly disappeared

RDrama exclusive: I headed down to the protest, kinda quiet this morning. Israeli counter-protestors have now shown up with "bring them back" signs. Mostly old jewish ladies, sort of abortion clinic vibes. Lots of cops, as well as what appears to be a news cam getting set up. No more terrorist flags unfortunately but hopefully the counterprotestors will farm some sneed.

Police got there almost instantly lmao, no wonder there aren't nearly as many hobos over here as in NYC

Seconds later, the officer wrestles Fohlin to the grass, calling for assistance as she flails and screams, “Oh my god!” while identifying herself as a professor.

As another officer joins the melee and helps get her hands behind her back, protesters encircle them and start shouting insults.

“You are Hitler! You are rabid dogs! You are fascists! Shame on you!” a male demonstrator screamed at the cops from a few feet away.
