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 fortunately offers different services and functions separately.

Human customer service, remote setup, actual unlimited plans, 20 bucks a month, no contracts.

Visible is functionally different and a better customer experience than verizon and other providers in every way, they just get to use verizon networks.

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

1. Chav does not mean “working class people” and is not a “slur”.

2. 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. Great point.

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.

Dang, it’s pretty common behavior, unfortunately. I’ve been guilty of it.

You’ve recognized your manipulating behavior; that means you can change it.

It doesn’t sound like you should interact with this woman you’re referring to any more, because an apology may not 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.

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 doubt your own experiences and memories 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, maybe 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’s’ lying.

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 demonstrably incorrect.

“never!” they cry, as the first Muslim Democratic Socialist is elected mayor of New York in a landslide.

that’s really interesting. I listened to a podcast with one of the writers, or maybe the creator, I can’t remember right now, and he talked about how sincere everybody was about creating the superhero who could actually change the cultural lack of concern about climate change.

and what’s super cool is like statistically and culturally, it looks like the show worked.

like yeah everything is still fucked, but it would have been way worse a generation earlier if a bunch of awesome nerds didn’t make Captain planet for generation x so they would become horrified over climate change.

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!

thanks, I’ll keep an eye out.
