- Comment on I get junk mail from T-Mobile & Verizon offering services that when I call them they say my address is not available for service. Both offer those services to my neighbors. How do I deal with this ? 2 weeks ago:
Over 5 years for me too, and i actually called them up to ask if they were a scam the first month because it was so easy to sign up and cheap for unlimited data.
They said “no” and i said “okay”.

Nope, Visible is owned by Verizon but offers different services and functions separately.
Helpful, accessible customer service, remote setup, actual unlimited plans, 20 bucks a month, no contracts.
Visible is functionally different and a better customer experience than verizon in every way.

Visible with unlimited data and hotspots: more versatile, cheaper and less time-consuming than dealing with either of those fuckers.

You’re misunderstanding the use of debate.
- Comment on Why is hatred/dehumanization of the working class so prominent in the UK, when about 60% of the UK population is working class? 4 weeks ago:
-
Chav does not mean “working class people” and is not a “slur”.
-
You’ve got to be the same person with the chav fetish looking for a “polite” chav synonym for your romantic interests and then attacking people.
If you don’t like that word, don’t use it so much.

Yup. High school methods can be a rush, but boy can they be harmful.
- Comment on What happens to cult leaders in prison? 5 weeks ago:
Now you know!
You took a shot, didn’t hit it’s done, somewhere in there is something you can use to positive effect in the future.

If it goes through, it goes, if it doesn’t it doesn’t.
If you’ve already upset her enough that she’s cut contact, she likely won’t respond either way.
And either way, you can let her get back to her life and try to become a positive experience in other people’s lives going forward.
- Comment on What happens to cult leaders in prison? 5 weeks ago:
Dang, it’s pretty common behavior, unfortunately. I’ve been guilty of it.
At least you’ve recognized your manipulation; that means you can change.
It doesn’t sound like you should interact with this woman you’re referring to any more, because an apology won’t help her with what’s already happened and being around you at all could upset her more.
But the world is big and keeps going on. You could try to make amends by being supportive and helpful to other people, even those you don’t know yet, counter your negative experiences with positive ones.
Maybe one day after you’re more in control of those manipulative tendencies, the opportunity will come up for you to apologize.
If it doesn’t, it doesn’t, but you can become a positive experience in people’s lives going forward, regardless.
- Comment on What happens to cult leaders in prison? 5 weeks ago:
Yes, questions you know the answer to is a good option, but the way the person answers you can confuse the truth anyway through indirect methods.
Are they making you think your own experiences and memories are invalid, so their story becomes more plausible?
Do they suggest their poor behavior is actually your fault?
Any time you bring up an issue to someone and rather than directly addressing the issue, the person brushes aside the issue to focus on a new topic, especially one that implicates or blames you, that’s a huge red flag signaling manipulation and you should be on guard.
If they keep doing it and you find yourself stuck or trapped in the conversation, admitting guilt you aren’t sure you own or even agreeing with something you know is incorrect, the sooner you leave, physically just walk away from them, and keep walking away, the better.
If you’re getting turned around in a conversation, the longer you let them tell you stories, the more convincing those stories will become and can harm your wellbeing.

Do you mean expose them as a liar?
Questions you know the answer to is certainly a viable method to determine who is a liar.
- Comment on What happens to cult leaders in prison? 5 weeks ago:
Cult personalities aren’t just another criminal any more than they are just another person.
They used their charisma and cunning to influence people, and unless they’re manson-level, many cult leaders do a few years in prison, get out and then do what they were doing before but more quietly.

Proves the falsity of inevitability.
Hopelessness and cynicism is very hip and very wrong.

I’m with you, Mario 64 is one of my all time favorites.
i still play it every few years and sometimes I’ll get the urge to watch the latest world-record speedrun, it’s so much fun to even just watch.
pretty much the only game i do that with.
great screenshots too. there are so many mods for SM64 but I almost always play vanilla, so it’s fun to see you guys as different characters.
SM64 Toad is a psychopath for sure.
congrats on getting to share the game with your friend, and almost hitting a year with your screenshots!

if you think that despite the overwhelming popular evidence, i don’t think any further examples are going to change your mind.

whaaat?
so a comment mentioned lump… that’s a quite a leap to your notion that Lemmy is nothing but presidents of the United States band posts.
I think the fact that you have that post at hand maybe indicates that you’re pretty into the band?
rather than all of Lemmy being into that band.
who does rock.
from my absurdly extensive(editorial opinion) user history alone, you’ll be able to tell that… wait let me check how many posts and comments I have…
that .01% of my posts are about that band.
I don’t think the POTUS band affliction is as a widespread as you are insinuating.
I see a lot more posts about the coward POTUS than the band POTUS these days.

i always figured with the “woman” cry and all the talking about bulges and fingering that it was about sex.
I don’t know it’s depth measurement, but I don’t think…the song is strictly about the peach fruit.

- Comment on YSK chemtrails were real: the US military admitted in 1976 to dropping active biological and chemical agents onto US cities for decades from land, sea and air without notification or consent. 6 months ago:
no, you’re making that up.
my sources are real, and have been from the top, and for some reason verified, documented sources infuriate you.
doesn’t matter to me.

My entire post is backed up with verified sources.

can’t say the same for your imaginings.

the sources support everything I’ve been saying from the top.
remember how you pretended the documented, verified US government sources weren’t real and then admitted that the sources were real after 3.5 hours yesterday?
I can wait another few hours for you to remember.

All my sources have supported the same facts from the top to bottom.
your incorrect theories don’t matter here, The facts are known and provided by the US government. testified, documented fact.
