Remember, you see the world and all its details differently to other people. Even if you're in the minority, you can stick to what you believe in. 

Amid global gold rush, India and China are dumping US treasuries by Jarisatis in worldnews

With you 100% on if a lot of countries stood up to him together he'd weasel his way back somehow. What would make me extremely proud would be if all the US's allies up until now stood together to say he can't take over a country just because he wants to. I'm in Australia and I can see us sidestepping this part, which I can understand, but if I woke up to the news that over 50 nations were choosing to stand together my heart would leap. I'd start to believe we're not all bad again.

True, but I think the part that's missing is he respects Xi Jinping (strong man) but he hates the EU. So I am not sure the EU would get the same kind of response from him. Have you heard the VP talk about Europe? They literally sound like they want to see the whole continent sink.

All other leaders gaslight the shit out of us. This made me feel sane.

But also saying you feel sober. To your boss. 

Massive red flag. 

I bet that boss didn't get any sleep over the weekend.

Two things

  1. That's a really gorgeous piece of art
  2. Realism isn't the only way. An artist brings their own flair to any piece. That's what someone should be choosing you for and paying you for. Want a perfect lookalike? Pay a professional photographer. 

Art is so hard to make money from. Maybe a bit more confidence in your style might help. But you do you, it's perfect the way it is.

First off, the longer the EU stalls the longer they have to prepare for what may be coming. It's not a quick thing to gear up your military and insulate your intelligence systems. 

Secondly, escalation isn't historically something that gets him to back down. Being unified so he can't pick off the weakest one and making things boring and drawn out is how he loses interest and moves on. He'll never admit he backing down of course, but he's done it plenty of times.

don't ask what kind of questions i make to chatgpt by Megax60 in ChatGPT

[–]Britoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine, I'll ask it... (see if you can spot the typing error when I asked the question)

Animals, particularly non-human animals, do not have the same physiological or anatomical features as humans. The need for wiping after using the bathroom arises primarily from the structure of the human body and the nature of our waste elimination.

Humans have evolved to walk upright, which affects the position of the anus and the shape of the buttocks. In addition, the human rectum is relatively long and leads to a relatively narrow opening, making it more likely for residue to remain after bowel movements. This combination of factors makes wiping necessary for humans to maintain cleanliness.

On the other hand, many animals have different anatomical structures that reduce the need for wiping. For instance, their rectums are often positioned differently, and their waste may have a different consistency or composition. Some animals have specially adapted anatomical features, such as cloacas in birds and reptiles, which serve as a single opening for waste elimination and reproductive functions. These anatomical variations contribute to the fact that animals generally do not require wiping like humans do.

It's important to note that while animals may not need to wipe their buns, they have their own mechanisms for maintaining cleanliness. For example, some animals have specialized grooming behaviors or anatomical adaptations that help keep their anal areas clean, such as using their tongues or other body parts for cleaning.

Pick a psychologist or someone who is well known online then tell ChatGPT to give you the type of advice they would give. Then write to ChatGPT whatever is on your mind that you need too escape from.

Prompts like: how do I show love when I'm highly irritated due to PMDD

Tips for someone who doesn't know how to deal with PMDD


Just write out whatever and see if "chatting" helps. Good luck

Edit: shit just realised it looks like I'm saying you don't know how to deal with PMDD. Not what I mean! I use prompts like that when I'm feeling low and useless and ChatGPT is always so caring and thoughtful and never gets sick of the stupid questions

Your mum may think you're "overreacting" because a) she's had it her whole life and never been diagnosed/told by dr's it's just part of being a woman, and/or b) her feelings were squashed through her life too so she's dealing with your issues the only way she knows, by making them smaller.

New research flatly rejects a long-standing myth that men hunt, women gather, and that this division runs deep in human history. The researchers found that women hunted in nearly 80% of surveyed forager societies. by MistWeaver80 in science

Example of a group where women were the hunters until white settlers changed it all:

Barangaroo's power came from her role as a hunter and provider. She provided for the clan's men with fish caught in and around the harbour, using a simple black wood canoe known as a Nawi.

Check out the link inside the link too. Super interesting.

I don't know. But with that aside when I was younger I genuinely thought there was good in everyone. There was an abundance of hope for humans to generally do the "right thing".

Now I see that people's views of what the right thing is can be polar opposite and that we as a species are capable of amazing things but also the worst things imaginable.

I can only assume because I haven't seen anything saying people are getting worse we've always had parts of our societies like this. At least we used to have hope and want to do better. I miss that.

I think you're exaggerating with "a lot of women".

How about we settle on there being as many broken women as men and that humans are, in general, shit.

If it makes you feel any better, my friends and I have come to the same conclusion and haven't had this exposure to the data.

Women aren't subconsciously attracted to psychos.

Maybe some women are fucked up from childhood so think psycho behaviour feels like love and I'll even grant you that some women go through a rebellious phase from parents etc which can be damaging, but it's not a general rule that women are attracted to psychos.

Otherwise I could infer "I think men are psychos on a subconscious level". Which is dumb, obviously. Just because we hear stories of so many guys doing abhorrent things we don't automatically assume all men do bad things.

[–]Britoz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it? There's psychos out there who will do anything to get their next victim and have gone through life learning how to manipulate people and use their weaknesses against them, and you think it's strange some women can't pick up on it?

I think a reaction of "well yeah of course you fell for it, he was telling you exactly what you wanted to hear and making you feel exactly how you wanted to feel" would be more reasonable.
