If you want a cup of tea then you’ll ask for a cup of tea. You don’t ask for just paper either, you ask for a sheet of paper. Be specific.
I wish I could see the comments on this thread I made. Not sure what’s wrong with lemmy, it’s been like this since I started the thread two days ago. When I click the thread I just see my original post, no comments. Same result if I open the thread from the Selfhosted channel. If I view my own profile history and click the context button, the site just loads forever and never shows anything.
I could never get my bluetooth microphone to work under Linux, and I was having to input my password many times every day just to accomplish simple tasks. Couldn’t even make the password into a PIN, that wasn’t allowed for some reason.
You’re missing my point entirely. If you want to criticize someone then you need to be better than them. More accurate, more truthful and more levelheaded. If you just go down on their level and fling the same dirt around as them - like you’re doing - then you’ve accomplished nothing and you’ll convince no one.
So not a single person in that rally was just a white nationalist, every participant must have been a national socialist? If so, prove it. If not then you were the liar in this instance, not Trump.
Trump is clearly a moron, a narcisist, he’s probably a sociopath and he’s definitely a curse on the globe and on US politics specifically. Still, for some reason, people keep dragging up misleading and false quotes to try to condemn him, instead of just pointing to his actual words and actions, which are just as bad as the imagined ones.
And then they wonder why the left is failing and Trump remains popular, as if the answer wasn’t staring back at them from the mirror…
My mom’s not a narcissist, but she grew up with an abusive father and an enabling mother, and she continues a lot of the toxic practices she learned growing up. She turns the smallest disagreements into full-on fights, and she constantly bickers and complains about everything the rest of the family does or doesn’t do.
The rest of the family still struggles a lot with her behaviour, but I’ve found a few things that help me deal with her:
- If mom comes at me with her complaining then I don’t let the discussion grow into a fight gradually, I go nuclear straight away, calling her a fucking hell-bitch so loud that the neighbors and anyone walking past the house can definitely hear it - and then I walk away. Somehow this gets the point through to her that I’m not playing her game, possibly because I don’t give her the time to work up her anger to the point where she finally goes nuclear herself and forgets everything around her.
- I never visit mom and dad’s house, but I sometimes allow them to visit my house. That way I can always just throw the both of them out if she starts to go toxic.
- I try to remind dad and my sister that we’ve already tried to get through to mom a thousand times before, and if she still doesn’t want to change her behaviour then we can’t force her. The only thing we can really control is our presence.
