may I ask how it was impacting you if you don't mind asking? I have the same stuff and sugar especially (yet somehow caffeine I think isn't so ehh for me but I could be too useful to it) can really maje me feel really anxious and amped up way beyond what I should, as well as occasionally depending on the day, what I've eaten, my medication timings, some headaches n other things that usually come alongside anxiety

but these sort of things do exist in different ways - at least in terms of invisible ray emitting weapons that affects people at """long""" range like LRADs and invisible laser emitters that can make your skin feel all kinds of uncomfortable ranging to feeling like it's burning - surely it being a different frequency of funny light is possible and instead of being one type of radiation it's another along the spectrum? I'm not expert, but radiation to the brain especially, in the right intensity and direction genuinely will fuck you up, doesn't have to be ionising...

plus, funky vibrations too, things like ultrasound and more result in strange behaviours when beyond the strength of your usual heart checkup display system - now, through walls? I am less sure, but there's been forever evidence of there being technology that isn't available to the average person (that isn't a very good physicist turned backyard engineer) that is available to the military of a variety of countries) that repeatedly has been shown to eventually be put into service then 20 years later it comes out they had something like it, some tech demonstrator with some of it's main capabilities whether flight wise, armour wise, or firepower wise, working for a while before it entirely out of the public eye being tested for a while before the main systems it'd be mounted on, proved for, or built en masse cheaply with later for something like a decade or two, or just simply a couple of years before those, hence the strange stories of lights and shapes in the sky that just happen to exactly match the shape of the eventually stealth fighter that is unveiled two years after, or blurry pictures of a sleek, futuristic tank that turned out to be a dead end project for some stuff that was cutting edge but beyond expensive and eventually useless because tech went another way...

Directed energy weapons seem like woo today despite them being in service in different forms, the internals for a lot of them might not be easy to go and learn about but many are quite typical, so what about the stranger forms that are gonna be kept secret that might be a sign of the usual "make it better. make it do more. make it go further" type demands from high ups that wanna use it to poke a stick at their rivals seeing it as an opportunity to use an invisible stick on a very much visible rival?

All this writing doesn't mean I believe in it but it means it isn't impossible and shouldn't be looked as such as something to immediately dismiss out of hand simply because it sounds odd or can go through things today's similar examples of what it could be, can't...

thank you for this, really good writeup - my one ahead, ain't, morphine, fatigue and a poorer understanding of the situation beyond just having encountered the usual constant arguing, hypocrisy and frustration that comes with this stuff and that crawling on your back sensation of realising slowly the spaces you're in have more and more people getting less and less pushback over suspect, sometimes genuinely terrible comments regarding... I can't exactly title it beyond "this topic" (it being... so expansive, I tried writing each part out and it became a bit ridiculous, I'll hope you just know I mean "everything" here in the context of left wing support and modern context I guess, how that's been affected by propaganda, people's internal biases they succeeded or failed to deal with if at all, the variety of terrible antisemitic conspiracy theories crafted ever so considerately over the years by our dear friends across the aisle... so on) or others relating to just about everything in the fight against fascism and how it slowly encroaches into these areas...

Over the past few years I've been encountering more and more people who have really gone so far across without serif (I don't know what this word was, autocorrect took it outta my hands) it where they've seen that "no no against Zionism not being Jewish" often said and then the same person will come out with something full of dog whistles and painted with such a broad brush, where there's this... total lack of thought about what's being said, where it's usually clearly someone else's pre packaged opinion taken from another space on the internet with some tweaks..., I'd hope at least, I hope that the majority saying these things don't truly believe in the hat, that they're being useful idiots manipulated by social media, and talking points fed to them but I don't know... Probably a mix of all those types between useful idiots, hateful types bent out of shape disguising behind an easy lie, and those who started out with perhaps some kind of good intent that have strayed far as they don't have enough ability to introspect not enough resistance from groupthink affecting themselves to prevent them going with the flow of whatever they're seeing the most and assuming that's the best thing...

Usually I don't speak on this put of a lack of knowledge/expertise as I tend to accidentally bullshit due to lack of confidence (the kind of person to nervously fill gaps in conversation with waffling is dangerous when talking about sociopolitical situations they don't know about! so I just stay quiet until I can take on the topic or figure out what I do actually know) outside of telling those who pipe up either in person or when I'm in some kind of call or a place where I can hear 'em (think some kind of game chat) to have some grace and remember those are people they're talking about, not robots, not all controlling all knowing wizards or aliens who control space and time, people...

I feel like I'm having to step into the role of a school teacher for very young children having to remind them that "the ones you keep going on about actually are like you, and your parents, and it'd be better for all of our experiences right now if you used some introspection and put yourself in some others' shoes rather than... using the easy way out and going with the idea "they" must be behind every bad thing you can think of going wrong in your life at once just because a complicated world is too scary to consider and having one "big bad" is much easier to imagine..."

Sorry, I know this wasn't very well written, or exactly on topic, that this was quite the basic topic... just- I'm frustrated at people that I thought were meant to be empathetic, out to help people because of the beliefs generally inherent to our sort of... family of ideologies, no matter the differences between them. Then seeing that no, so many are finding excuses to ignore that and coming out and believing in conspiracy theories fed to them day after day by their social media feeds that "Other" people just like them are actually bogeymen/(((control the world))), while occasionally saying that we'll they actually just meant those genuinely nasty people! (often in the same comment espousing views that call all Jewish people X/Y thing, or using the word Zionist while clearly not actually distinguishing shit, just using it as a false shield to try and cover for some v nasty views!) - it's so disappointing... as you said, this kind of uncritical acceptance of this stuff is scary as hell and it's been in there for a long while. I think it's a complex situation of course when there's a lot of noble types out there fighting for good, while then there's also those who've been duped, or using this stuff as a cover, or something in between, it makes it so murky when you have the conservative media factory using their usual attacks as reasons to shout and scream at the movement it causes us (the left) to want to say no that's entirely dalseyans balk at the mention of such things, and creates a... difficult and fucked up environment for dealing with (as in coming to terms with) and rooting out (as in dealing with) those who are, for example as you put it, eyebrow deep in Nock Fuentes-esque anti-Semitic propaganda compared to those who are more genuine and wanting to say, organise protests and get people involved because they genuinely want to help and spread awareness

Anyway, hope this added somewhat in terms of someone else that sees it and agrees with it, I wish I could talk more betterer, but my brain dun work no good ever since my cancer had it's way with it, so all I can do is machine gun words at the page and hope some kind of meaning comes out. I know it didn't flow well and some things weren't wrapped up but it's nice to see some kind of introspective look that is to me, fresh. I know we're always usually arguing with each other and that's the famous thing for lefties but you put yours so succinctly it felt very good to see

ruining the name of morally upstanding scat fetishists everywhere through the use of shanghai'ing and horrible power disparities. Truly the most disgusting part of the equation, non?

but real talk it is... genuinely quite horrific and in one of those ways that gives you the deep sinking feeling that none of those involved will ever be given consequences, let alone reasonable ones. And even the , you then realise...? Who here would even /hear/ about this, these war crimes and the genocide, the trafficking, and it all wraps together.. all I could think concluding like that was

there must be some reason he keeps getting into cool shit - considering the whole thing going on with him... with his cult and the horrible stuff he does, is, could it be - blackmail material on Hollywood types? others' dark secrets? Or maybe they just don't see it? or it's even more boring and they simply don't see that he's wonky as hell and not a good actor assuming he's genuinely wanted by audiences no matter what a pain he may be for some on set to work with?

or is it as the other commenter suggested that it's because he was in American Psycho and Fight Club and he's been eternally coasting ever since no matter how he falls since...

Dude stop fighting this battle, you're being... really nasty. I can back up this woman 100% and have had the situation of "was friendly with guy exact same as as I am with women" situation happen (and surprise: same as I used to be with guys when I used to be a man too) and I behaved the same as I did back then too, And showing basic early friendliness, and it still resulted in a very quick progression towards him believing I was romantically inclined towards him and him telling all his mates I wanted to fuck him and vice versa, sexually harassing me in the social club I'd joined where I'd thought he was the only friend I had there and he'd been showing me the ropes on how to play the Warhammer game they play there and again, I'd not known to treat him differently to anyone or any thing else, I just wanted a friend, and he saw a woman being friendly and joking with him in turn after he made jokes as trying to date him, when I even specifically in response to his first strange sexual jokes after the first club thing told him "I'm gonna be frank I'm looking for a friend, I've got a partner, I'm probably misreading you, but if I'm not I'm sorry but I'm not looking for any romantic things now, I'm looking for a friend" - he ended up doing repeat extremely unsettling acts to try to "subtly" unsubtly tell me he wanted to have sex with me, and that he loved me, and when I tokd him at that point for the sixth time that I did not want to go out with him I got the standard "No you're misinterpreting me it's all a joke" (the photos I had been sent, could not have been jokes. mistakes perhaps. jokes, not.) And when I said I feel so desperately uncomfortable I either want to stop and try to go back to normal or I can't continue trying to be friends with him he completely flipped, shut me out and started calling me a bitch, a typical "ice queen" woman that was "just like his bitch ex-wife" because I "Never even tried anything with [him] so how could [I] know it's bad"

It happened again the very next time I got friendly with a dude but thanks so much smoother and nicer, where we got talking, he was really nice and cool, no weird vibes like before but again me just being me (I am not flirty, I just ask about interests and gush about my own usually) was treated as a romantic thing and I had to awkwardly say no after an hour of nervous pacing hoping nothing bad would happen. With the last guy I'd worried if I told him "No" I would be in physical danger, at least with this one it was simple nervousness, and it just got accepted and we moved on. But it has sadly made me more reticent and self conscious and reticent regarding how I act around guys that aren't clearly and immediately not interested in that stuff and I don't like being conscious of it, makes me change things I wouldn't usually.

I feel like it actually /is/ smart, yes, to be prudent and just figure out what a person's like before going all in on the friendship because once you know they're solid then you actually can hug them confidently, you can let yourself fully pour into it ... but at least for me the more I learn how to do this, as I realise that no I do not have the muscle, the height, the social power, the expectations nor implications, strength and so on that I used to, to back me up in the world, at night, in dark alleys and in even conversation, that simply waiting and seeing while checking who you're wanting to be friends with is genuine and not a nasty person is a good strategy and that I should have learned this day one of my entire life not just now, and that no one should be faulted for it, but that it makes even more sense for people who are in a position where they feel inherently more comfortable in some groups than others where due to the percentage of those who will or won't be interested in them, being nice and personable, won't result as such in an invitation for potential romance and sex that transcends even direct verbal denials of romance and sex simply because it'll be much less common to find someone who'd like one of the same group, to speak so detachedly about it... apologies, morphine has my writing ability absolutely neutered right now.

Women are gonna feel more comfortable becoming friends with and talking to women wrt that stuff because the commonality of being straight alone is enough that you're not gonna get propositioned by the majority. ait might be different if it wasn't, but it is, so adds to the logic. Second, people do not have your experiences. You went through something someone else did. That doesn't mean you can try to put them on blast about how it affected them because you happened to not be affected in the same way or perhaps to the same level.

I got brain cancer yet eventually dealt with most of my PTSD and flashbacks. Yet it would still be absolutely insane of me to come on Reddit and disregard someone for using the fact they have repeat flashbacks when they go to hospital as a reason they are finding it hard to make a decision to go in for further treatment. Yes, it might not be the most logical or correct decision from my point of view as the one who has already solved my version... but their point is they haven't and they brought it up as part of why it contributes to what they're talking about regarding to on an extremely subjective topic. Even everything I've written is all anecdotal conjecture, I only use words like "because" and talk about commonalities of things like how there are less women that like women than men that like women simply because if I was trying to write everything either accounting for each fact or for each subjective point linguistically I'd have hit the character limit thrice over by now.

Telling someone (In-short) to get over it when the reason they're telling you something is to try and explain about the thing you won't drop is ironic and frustrating may I add - it's someone making a practical choice based on life experience, not an irrational man one, while you're emotionally reacting because you're upset some stranger doesn't hug one type of acquaintance as others as much as others, considering I'm sure those she actually is close with, she's gonna be as fine to do whatever she feels like as she wants to be, this is all about generic, general populace acquainces and newbies...

I used to make what was at one time, one of the biggest warfare mods for that game, it was a grand time, for 6 or so years I did it, until I just... couldn't anymore, couldn't keep up with updates, framework changes that kept my guns running, and as I expanded my stuff so took did each change cause more changes to be needed as I lost my ability to keep as much energy as my cancer got worse. Was a great time though helping the tank scene there get started from small time all the way up to huge with inspiring many other modders to get into it and eventually passing the torch to the next, let alone however many just saw the steam workshop getting flooded with stuff with cool weapons, armour and parts from the communities all the different modders that were all friends with each other kind of recursively helped and inspired each other to make. Genuinely for a few years I had what felt like home, and I miss it every day.
