It’s definitively manipulative, but people on the internet like to take something like that and then sprint to the conclusion that the person exhibiting the behavior is entirely knowledgeable about what they’re doing and is nefariously doing it on purpose in order to control the person and keep them locked in a position of weakness.

A lot of people exhibit behavior like this because they feel scared or upset and don’t know how to healthily express or resolve it, or were taught by unhealthy homelife that the behavior is normal, even if it’s not. I think people in the comments immediately rushing to leave her and anyone like her behind will either find it hard to maintain a relationship, or should count their lucky stars if they’re with someone that is completely healthy and knowledgeable about negative human behaviors and willing (and able) to fix it.

If it’s any consolation, reddit sort of trains you to post things like that because that’s what the masses like and recognize the most.

Does anybody get free samples because they need them? They get them because they want them.

About to name my next child Humanbeard

He’s whiny in just barely enough lines to establish that he’s still a bit naive, but I would not consider him an overall whiny character, even in the vacuum of episode 4, he is not constantly bitching and dodging his responsibility once its importance is established.

Its probably the best way they could’ve utilized whininess

I’m curious, I feel like I haven’t seen mickey in anything flagship Disney in an extremely long time, what’s his latest work?

From my viewpoint, it’s usually more of a coercive thing. Something you’re not necessarily entirely opposed to, but you might rather not, and in order to avoid a situation you might perceive as bad in a different way, you relent and allow it to happen, leading to years of questioning whether it even was rape or not, even though what it does to you mentally is irrefutable.

Ahh, so once the AI can develop smarmy humor that doesn’t add anything to your discussion with it, THEN it’ll be like real people

Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson is a fucking jam

Yeah, I hope people don’t mistake bad comedy for letting the games down. The games probably got a laugh out of me once every 75 jokes.

This is probably more of an individual’s question than a gender-based question. I would support the transition, but I’d be lying to myself if I said I’d want to be with a trans guy. I am vanilla-ass hetero.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I’ve seen it too many times now for me to know if it’s really as good as I find it, but I think I’d really like it all over again if I could forget it.

When I was reaaaaally playing too much Hitman I began to notice large containers that could fit human bodies inside.

That and the whole “they recorded their parts slower and sped them up” thing, but they pull it off well enough live and as long as they’re not lying about it I don’t think it really matters

My therapist actually said the same thing recently, and it would make sense. I’ve got an appointment, actually soon to look into it

I lay out all my problems on the table pretty immediately, so I wouldn’t say surprised by, but probably least expected would be that for a guy my sex drive is very low. I’ve been about half to a quarter as driven as any girl I’ve been with.

I actually have a playlist called The Bucket List which is only comprised of entire albums where there’s not a single filler track in there, in my opinion, of course

I’m not sure if the reason fits the definition of reactionary, but that is a pretty awful take, which is at the least wildly ignorant, and at worst, trolling.

That would make sense, cleverly recontextualizing a regular saying. It would fit the tone of the letter to do that humorously

I’m sure it is, it’s just because my first experience with it was through that letter, so now it’s ruined for me.
