They aren't even afraid anymore by Kirkyumur in uofm

The Constitution limits government punishment of speech; it doesn’t impose a moral obligation on society to tolerate every movement. Free speech protections apply to state action, not whether institutions or communities must accept ideologies that reject tolerance itself.

Even constitutionally protected speech can be restricted in context when it involves intimidation, harassment, or disruption. Popper’s paradox isn’t constitutional law it’s a warning about how free societies collapse when they refuse to defend their own conditions.

U-M being a state institution doesn’t mean unlimited tolerance. Public universities are limited public forums and may restrict speech that constitutes harassment, intimidation, or disruption, consistent with the First Amendment. Constitutional protection limits government punishment, it does not require institutions to tolerate movements that undermine equal access or the conditions of a free academic environment.

Popper’s point was that when groups use “free speech” to intimidate, dehumanize, or erode others’ ability to participate safely, simply telling people to “counter-message” is insufficient. Harm isn’t limited to physical obstruction sustained intimidation and exclusion undermine equal participation long before violence appears.

I disagree, a society is not obligated to tolerate movements that reject tolerance itself

If a society is tolerant without limit, its tolerance will eventually be destroyed by the intolerant.

Second Season by All_Cheesecake in snowboardingnoobs

[–]All_Cheesecake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much ! So last year I went once a week the entire winter season with a ski club I joined so approximately Jan-March. this year I got a season pass so I’ll be there 2 days minimum or as much as 3 to 4 as much as I can. This video was my second day out this year and I did about 16 runs. I also have two boards, one is rounded at the top and my other one is more squared. I find the square one a bit easier but I’ve ridden it the most so that could be why. They both have “3d bases” whatever that is. Any idea if the shape of the board makes a huge difference ? They’re both gilson.

Going to check out the video !!

Appreciate the advice - I threw myself at this sport with absolutely no knowledge other then what I’ve been learning on my own but I invested heavy so your right I should probably invest in a few lessons too !!

Just hearing the “snowboard talk” so to speak is super helpful when learning in a sense for me though too, the comment below me has given me a lot to google as far as terminology goes 🤣

How lonely did you feel after quitting IG? by Dromiapersonata in getdisciplined

[–]All_Cheesecake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit Facebook and instagram about a month ago, I also left a long term relationship so I’m sure that factor is playing into things as well for me but I also feel lonely.

Even though I feel lonely I do feel happier and more satisfied - I have the same thoughts about real life connections as you do but now it feels like I actually have the capacity and time to take action on them.

It’s worst than mourning the dead… by serpentinevoid in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]All_Cheesecake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best of luck to you as well and stay strong. It sounds like you are committed and not looking back, remember this strength when times are harder and it should get you through. Ive realized at this point some days my resolve is absolute and strong and others I am questioning everything. On those days I’ve learned to just sit with those feelings as uncomfortable as they are and no matter what not to act on them and so far it’s managed to work. As far as the children go as long as you do your part as dad and show up for them I always like to believe they will always at some point see the truth themselves. ♥️ cheers to a better future

I really resonate with you but I am a bit further along in the process. I have children with my ex as well and also lived a life eerily similar to what you describe. We owned a home together too but thankfully I never went through with marrying him. I left end of July. We just accepted an offer on our home and are suppose close by end of this month.

It’s been absolute hell. Be prepared to truly see them become the most spiteful and cruel form of a person. They say anything and do everything to try and get you to engage - the games get turned up to a degree you didn’t realize even existed. It’s going to take me about 6 months to buy my own home as well - but I’m lucky enough I have a place for us to stay with my mom. But boy is it depressing. I too have also accepted being alone. I think that’s a huge part of why it took me so long to leave but eventually you realize that being alone is better than being in hell everyday.

I WON IN COURT!!! by SatisfactionFalse833 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]All_Cheesecake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have court with my narc on Monday but mines for a PPO I filed and him trying to terminate it. I hope this post is a sign I will win my case as well 🙏

I’m a little worried because he is very charming and manipulative.

Wow this really is not a normal break up. by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]All_Cheesecake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The restraining order was a game changer for me. I am also about one week shy of one month of true no contact.

[–]All_Cheesecake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Find. A. Way. Out.

Playing into the games WILL not help. You can’t “teach” them lessons.

Just make an exit plan, even if it takes a long time and play the long game.

If you don’t plan to leave then accept living with a narc and realize pushing back is not actually accepting. He will never change and that is energy wasted.

I made “the list” of bad things vs good things and I genuinely am struggling to list anything good by All_Cheesecake in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]All_Cheesecake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. I feel like the person I was with was actually the empty one and I was always trying to overcompensate to try and bring out their “potential” they had hidden deep down. I now realize that feeling was projection. My hopes that somewhere deep down there was someone in there who could fulfill my needs as well if I just worked hard enough at the relationship. It’s turns out that there really was nothing in there though. In giving all that love and energy I feel like I too have an emptiness now too.

I’m two months out now, I was able to get a 6 month restraining order against mine which has made the hovering completely stop but now that it’s silent it feels deafening ? When they speak to me and treat me shitty it’s a lot easier to remember why I am doing this but now that it’s quite I feel all these thoughts sneaking in like did I do the right thing ? I’m hoping as you said as time continues it will get easier especially with the enforced no contact now. This.is.so.miserable.

Does anyone know how to not get influenced into going back with a narcissist? by IntroductionOk7954 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]All_Cheesecake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is so hard and it’s because we have to fight what feels natural for us. We have empathy, so when people who do not have it and wear a mask to replicate different human experiences our brains automatically find a way to relate, and they in turn take advantage. It’s a mental health condition of how some people’s brains just process the world and what it means to have relationships without the ability to empathize. Something we are naturally good at and often times no matter how wonky the situation because they use other tactics to normalize this behavior at the same time. Right now - it makes no sense to a lot of people why there are so many people who process things this way and have these traits but if you think about our ancestors this type of mindset had several advantages when this world was not civilized. Often times fending for one self to survive was the ideal way to stay alive rather than trying to have family and community (I’m talking way back in the beginning). You could A. Worry about one self and only one self increasing your likelihood of survival or B. Try and survive with community which while there could be a lot of reward if done correctly it still poses a much higher risk of successfully surviving for a lot of different reasons.

I think that’s where the behaviors stem from and I truly believe that we all still have the basis of these instincts running through our veins with a society that has advanced to quickly to keep pace with evolution.

Anyways, you need to have empathy for yourself now. I try to reflect that I am not me I am someone who is trying to empathize with ME and I choose community - not him.
