Never have.

I bet he isn’t the only one.

Lemmy is my only social media at this point. I have a few other sites I look at for information but they are tech sites. The tech sites I look at are not mainstream anymore either.

No that isn’t the picture I’m talking about. What I really love about this is I don’t care enough to go find the drone shot I was talking about and the rage I’m seeing about this is childish.

There is a very similar picture to this of some burger joint opening up but fine now that I wasted my time looking its a starbucks.

I remember this picture. It was from the opening of some mediocre but popular burger chain. They had the doors closed and it was drive through only that day if I’m recalling it correctly.

All beauty is born in chaos.

Mine is chaos. I purposely grab them at random.

If something like that happens to me I’m just clicking Mark all as read. Edit: Never post when you are asleep.

Block and block often. It works here.

I worked for a cable company as the sysadmin. They were having trouble with channels going off randomly but most often in the morning and evening. One day in the middle of the day I’m out there with all hands on deck discussing the problem when one of the employee’s showed up in his older GM truck. Just as he arrived the channels went out and they jumped on the scopes and cable meters to start looking for the problem. He got out it stopped. We all stood around for a few minutes saying it was going to be a long day if we couldn’t figure this out. After a little bit he was instructed to go back to burying drops on his schedule. The second he cranked up the problem started. He drove off and it stopped. Three of us just looked at one another and we called him back. Sure enough as soon as he drove up the problem started. He was given instruction to not drive past the office gate and the problem went away. As to what on that old truck was throwing out all the gigahertz interference we may never know. That truck was gone withing a week.

Narcissism is dead center of cluster b They are always selfish and always play the victim. They only show kindness for recognition and attention. They lack empathy. Its the defining hallmark of maga. The term DARVO exists because of them. Narcs in particular are almost universally against any form of mental health treatment. They fear exposure but more than that they fear their victims will discover what they are. The source of their problems. No narc will seek out mental health treatment.

A list of narcissistic traits

• A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (making themselves appear impressive)
• Need for admiration
• Fantasies about power, success, beauty or an idealized vision of love
• Sense of entitlement
• Belief of being special, unique or high-status
• Lack of empathy for others
• Tendency to exploit others
• Arrogant behavior

Does this remind you of a certain group in the US?

That 1 to 6 percent is wrong. What is said is 1 in 6 or 16% of the US population. That is also hard to prove due to narcs fear mental health treatment. The actual reported amount is .5% of the population. The statistics for that are interesting though.

• 2–6% of those seeking help from mental health clinics
• 6% of forensic analysts
• 20% of people in the military
• 17% of first-year medical students

Note that the groups in the list above are mostly in a place where a mental health evaluation is pretty much required. The most discovered being in the military where its certain you will get a mental health screening to get a security clearance. That number strongly supports the 1 in 6 statistic with the real number probably being 1 in 5.

Just imagine the world we could have if these people were identified and ignored when it comes to the common concerns we all share. Of course you can bet they would violently oppose this.

I pulled those stats from this site. It matches what I’ve read before. Unless you have been raised by a narc or somehow stayed in a relationship with them its hard to understand how bent they are.

Its also as it happens the defining trait of a cluster b disorder.

TIL, trump can’t ride a bicycle.

It took a long time for me. I knew they did mean things but when you are raised like that it seems normal. The real breaking point is when I realized my mother was abusing my autistic son the same way she had me. They both died last year and I didn’t go to either funeral. My dad would often get in my face and scream at me while my mother would destroy anything I loved. If she gave me a present in a few years it would be gone. She would have and would be “saving it” for me. I have nothing from my childhood. I don’t have my class ring ‘she bought’ because I would just lose it was always the excuse. My dad was little different. I had a heart attack and got behind on my house payments. My dad ‘helped’ me out buy taking over the loan. When I signed both him and the POS bank guy told me it was just them adding him to the loan but it was them cutting me out. I could go on and on but the first sentence is your answer. I would like to add they were physically abusive up until I was fourteen. At that point I was absurdly strong for my age due to being my dads ‘slow gaited mule’ in his scrap business. He never passed up a chance to tell me I wasn’t good enough. I just wish I would have realized how badly they feared me after I picked something up that few could and put it in the back of a truck. I did this because he was having a full meltdown and I was scared of him.

In truth at least here Most of that type of dumping comes from the landfill being closed. Lazy people in general don’t know the schedule of a facility and as a result there are game cameras on most dumping spots near the local landfill. Every now and then they catch someone in the act and make a big production number in the prosecution. With some getting community service picking up trash on the side of the road.

Naw, not yet. I still burn a few a year. Amazing how entertaining it can be in a older car.

More from the sales types but saying ‘value added’ is the same as saying greedy mark up.

Some pretty easy work arounds.

Edit: Okay since I got the downvote. The easiest way to overcome this garbage is to make it appear that all traffic is coming from the local network. This is really trivial these days. Just use a a tunnel/vpn. I recommend wireguard for how simple the client operates. The client is available for many platforms including crapple devices and android.

I guess that works for those who caffeine perks you up. I drink it to calm down and relax.
