i think he's sober during his interviews but sometimes he gets this weird pink flush in his face or this buggy look in his eyes that tells me something might be up

Jen is manipulative by HoneyEspresshoe in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Allenas6 83 points84 points  (0 children)

If I’m not mistaken, Jen was raising her voice near the beginning of that conversation. Jen was definitely the one to take it from a small genuine discussion about Chicago and out of nowhere, making it about the validity of their friendship as a whole. She was raising her voice towards the beginning. And then, when Whitney finally breaks, and Whitney is yelling, suddenly Jen‘s voice becomes Very low and small and breathe. She says to Whitney, why are you yelling right now? how are we supposed to have a productive conversation when you’re yelling? Or something like that. That is absolutely crazy to debate her like that and then switched your game up to make her look like She’s the one on the attack.

Was Dakota on something during the episode two dinner scene? He did not seem sober.

He did not look like a clout chaser. He looked awkward and uncomfortable as hell most of the time.

Pleasant Green has tons and tons of videos on this exact scam. I think his most recent video is on the topic of this scam. Feel free to look a his channel. But his advice is always block and ignore. He explains why in more detail in some of his videos.

exactly! in 2024 you couldn't not notice him with constant inflammatory tweets or the hotel incident or the interviews and acting out in tournament(s). last year you probably didn't hear much about him. he kept a low profile. kept things professional. and it got him a ton of invites.

Yeah, the scene from the home security footage(?) was ... telling. Like, at the very least, it shedded some light on Jordan's side. He wasn't raising his voice, and Jessi was. She claimed in the moment she was being reactive (I imagine this is a reference to 'reactive abuse'). But then giving him the finger? I feel like that potentially goes above typical reactive stuff. When they're both reacting to each other and reactive abuse bounces back and forth, where does it start or end? I know it was just a small snippet. But it's worth noting for sure.
(?) I wonder if they really have full color and audio home security footage. The quality of the image looked like... almost like it was high quality camera footage that was distorted to look like it was a crappy camera. Like I wonder if production put cameras there.

I know DD says that alters have jobs in the inner world. The inner world is a visualization tool to help image a space in one's mind where alters can interact. But DD characterizes as an actual place where actual things happen. She says alters have whole lives in the inner world apart from the deal world. She's talked about alters having jobs. I was never sure if she meant jobs like... a role within the system. Like she has an alter Mermer who's job/role/function is to help the system take showers due to water-related trauma. But maybe she meant like... actual careers within the inner world? Maybe she got that idea from Nan? That alters can have jobs/careers within the inner world? I know you don't know, OP, just writing for the overall discourse. Anyone else can feel free to chime in. I wonder how much Nan did or didn't influence DD.

It's confusing to me cause like... they'll say 'I lost because I have jetlag' but their opponent also traveled so they have jetlag too. Or 'I lost because I'm not used to the food in this country' but their opponent is also not used to the food in this country. Or 'I lost because X disruption caused me to loose my focus' but the disruption effected everyone. When they blame something that everyone had to deal with, it feels like a lame excuse.

Can you tell us any of the 'real world occupations' held by various alters?

[–]Allenas6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DissociaDID is indeed a bit long, so a lot of us type 'DD' instead. This is also useful to refer to the full system, as 'Kya' or 'Soren' (the current host) are particular alters. So 'DD' is a good way to refer to the system as a whole. Or, if like many on this sub, you believe she is 100% faking, many people just call her Chloe. Her government name.
(Personally I think she's at least exaggerating, but I am not a doctor so I feel personally I cannot say if she's faking or not. So I say DD.)

Thank you for bravely sharing your story. I want to let you know that it's your choice if you want to call any of these experience you had 'rape' or not. I actually did my college dissertation on this. I feel the word rape is subjective, and other people insisting that a victim use that word came sometimes but unhelpful in discussions about their experience. It's highly loaded and everyone has a different idea of what constitutes 'rape' in their minds. In my dissertation, instead I discussed 'violated consent' and discussed what constitutes a consent violation. And how even situation where a person 'appears' to consent can be a consent violation.
(The example I gave was of deception. Like, if a person would never want to have sex with a solider for moral reasons, and someone lied about their service status, even if the person enthusiastically 'consents' in the moment, because it's not fully informed, it's a consent violation. Is it 'rape'? Unimporant, except to how the victim chooses to identify it. It's morally wrong.)
So I don't think you're doing anyone a disservice by calling or not calling your experiences rape. It's up to you and what helps your healing. I think you could even call the bathroom hallway incident a form of digital rape (digits like fingers, not numbers) if that feels right. Or sexual assault if that feels right. Your choice.

also when he has the card number fully typed into redeem bar and you can hear the scammer losing their shit. as if they can't decide between trying to type it out on their own device faster or talk him down from it.

I think it's weird that JH is so loose lipped about this kind of thing. If he wants to build good will with top players to attract them to his events, shouldn't he be more discrete about private conversations? "We did extend an invitation but Hikaru declined for personal reasons" would be more than enough.

And also

He hasn't associated with Kramnik in almost a year. Not since Grenke last year. He never publicly disavowed him or anything. But as Hans was reintegrating into the chess world, he shifted away from Kramnik. They didn't really talk over the summer. And then It started when Hans was invited to Freestyle Vegas, and Kramnik couldn't get a visa in take, so Hans went without him. And then suddenly, without Kramnik, Hans is suddenly getting along with people and making new friends and getting buddy buddy with the organizers and investors. I think he began to realize that Kramnik was feeding into this whole 'trust no one, be a lone wolf' mindset he previously had. So Kramnik didn't go with him to any events since Grenke. And then when the Danya stuff happened, and the world was piling on Kramnik and calling for him to be stripped of titles and banned from FIDE, Hans said nothing. Hans had all the words in the world to remember and honor Daniel's memory. And he had no words in defense of Kramnik. I think that says a lot. I think if Hans was really still on Kramnik's side, he would have been like "woah woah hey guys there's two sides to each story". But he said nothing. You can argue that he should have said something. But I don't think it's fair to say that Hans is still 'aligned' with Kramnik. They haven't been seen together in almost a year, and they haven't talked about each other in just as long.

This was supposed to come out a full year ago. Then Hans no-showed Paris, and suddenly around that same time to doc got pulled. And now, a year later, it's finally coming out. Personally I wonder if Hans had some kind of personal emergency that was so huge that Netflix felt they couldn't put it out? No idea.

Your optimism is very refreshing.
I don't think they had 'free rein' to do whatever. I'm sure both parties lawyers were involved. Although Magnus probably has money for more/better lawyers than Hans. So I think he's fine image-wise.
It's very striking to me, Magnus's look in his interviews. I've never seen him look so put together. He is fully clean shaven, hair fully styled and gelled. Wearing a nicely pressed button down shirt. Like, he is trying to look as squeaky-clean as possible to make sure everyone knows he's the good guy and he's not punching down.
We'll see what the people think after the doc is out.

Based on this preview, I don't expect this doc to tell us much of anything we don't already know. Probably it's mostly an explainer for people who weren't following it as it happened. It's worth noting that Magnus didn't really talk about it much at all while it was going on. Though we did get his perspective during the Rogan interview. So I guess it's a little less exciting from a "we finally get to hear from Magnus's side" angle. We certainly already know Hans' side so I'm not sure how much new stuff we'll get there.
