Today’s Ask PHlemmings: What’s a popular saying that you really dislike?
“You deserve what you tolerate.”
Such a mean thing to say to someone who’s at a low point in their life. It’s not a ‘wake up call’ that some people think it is. If you say this to a stranger, I would automatically assume that you lack empathy. No one deserves to be abused or manipulated. Some people grew up without knowing their worth, or how they should be loved and treated properly with respect. Their resilency to abuse doesn’t mean that they deserve it.
Adulting. Mostly because people use it to refer to some supposed bucket list that one must do to be considered a grown up (e.g. saving, applying for IDs) when even a child do those, lol.
If you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best
Narrator: Yeah, sure, go justify your crappy, toxic behavior.
We’re all people, but even at our worst, at least we should try to do our best to be good humans to other humans.
I get where this quote is coming from, but it’s just been used too many times in the wrong way that the very sight of it leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth.
Good morning po, Lemmy peeps! ♥️
Quite a clusterfuck in Russia rn. I just hope this isn’t the domino that tips the world over into Fallout 5.
It’s Wagner Group vs. Putin now.
*Politico article.
*Al-Jazeera live updates
*BBC report
TLDR: Wagner goes apeshit on Moscow, specifically the advisors to Putin on Ukraine because they believe Moscow used Wagner troops as cannon fodder, killing many mercs. Moscow says this is an armed rebellion, and tensions are on the rise.
EDIT: Clarity. Wagner is not necessarily angry at Putin himself, rather at the leadership surrounding and advising him on Ukraine.
NGL it feels good to finally do things I always fantasize doing, kagaya ng pagrampa sa platform ng LRT 2 sabay twirl a la Catriona Gray pagtapat sa kahit anong ceiling fan na umaandar.
