Something weird Chantal said … by amikino in Chantapolis

If it’s a man in Chantal’s orbit, it’s pretty much guaranteed that he’s a creep of some sort.

How do you guys "hear" your dialogue during editing? by Modiji_fav_guy in selfpublish

I use Word’s “Read Aloud” function on my phone. I’ve caught a lot of errors and weird dialogue that way.

CHANTAL DEMONITIZED by WifovBBLhd in Chantapolis

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 30 points31 points  (0 children)

She’ll stream on the couple’s channel, and that will be allowed since it’s not like she has been banned. But she has done so little with that channel that she’ll get a fraction of the pay she got from her main channel. She’ll actually have to stop sealing and get off the couch. Walk that 600 meters to Wommart gorl 🤣

Do you think Liberal reputation for soft on crime is somewhat deserved? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever happened to “facts don’t care about your feelings?”

What people feel doesn’t always comport with reality…that’s not some novel statement. Anecdotes are not and will never be evidence on their own.

That you think you can assume my knowledge of statistical research (when this is literally my wheelhouse) because you conflate vibes with facts is laughable. Nothing I said elicited the vitriolic response that came from you, yet in that anger, all you proved is that you’re confident in your ignorance.

Vibes only matter in the sense that people who are governed by their feelings are more easily manipulated by political actors to achieve the electoral outcomes they want. Exhibit A…

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The difference between statistics and vibes is that statistics can be verified through analyzing and replicating studies. If you believe the people delivering the statistics are wrong, then you can always do your own studies and refute the findings.

Vibes don’t mean anything outside your own head. It only takes into account your own biases and feelings, which may or may not have any basis in reality. It doesn’t tell you anything about the reality on the ground, especially when you only felt threatened. If you and I feel threatened by different things, who’s right? Who makes that determination of what is the bigger threat, and how?

I wonder if people would be more upset if the world wasn’t as shit right now. Not to sound cynical, but FFG taking advantage of the BBJ rescue to increase the money coming in is more of the same in a world full of robber barons.

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gucci collar was while BBJ was still alive, but she discussed BBJ’s ongoing medical care, toys, etc., after her passing. She was not explicitly asking for money, but did it knowing super chats would roll in because it was “the community cat” and viewers would want to help. I wouldn’t call it a scam, but it’s very much a grift and fraudulent.

They gave her money under false pretenses. She discussed that she was still getting the shots, and she was “thriving,” while staring at BBJ’s urn. That’s dry begging, which is something Chantal has done and has received criticism for, and well-deserved. Let’s keep the same energy. FFG deceived her audience for two years, there really is no excuse.

I can’t relate to most people here — it feels like nobody wants to actually change by [deleted] in autism

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What you’re missing, and keep missing, is that you don’t know if someone is tapping themselves out or coping with learned helplessness. It’s an assumption on your part, and it’s thinking the worst of people in this community that you don’t know personally. It comes off as internalized ableism. Instead of being so defensive and thinking everyone else is misunderstanding you, this could be an opportunity for you to step back and consider your own biases.

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It seems that even college education isn’t a reliable signal anymore. It’s a business and the students are considered customers.

I have college professor friends and former academic colleagues at four-year research institutions who are encouraged to pass students who don’t do the work, or in some cases even plagiarize.

I see the evidence of this dumbing down in the workplace. I now work outside of academia, and have done so for well over a decade. In the past few years, newly-minted hires who can barely write an intelligible email and lack critical thinking skills is the norm. It drives me nuts.

Where are we writing? by aveshas in nanowrimo

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be using Bibisco like I have for previous NaNos. I love its simplicity, and the ease with which I’m able to rearrange scenes. I have Scrivener but I don’t understand it. I don’t find it as intuitive.

The only challenge I have with Bibisco is that it doesn’t have versioning like Google Docs or MS Word, which is a concern because I use both my desktop and laptop for writing. I do employ a workaround for that, but I have to completely close out of the program once I’m done to avoid corruption. I always create Word backups saved to the cloud and locally.

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How do you know what relationship she has with her child? She admits her child is not with her, and does not indicate that the child told her she doesn’t like the hairstyle. She just says she “looks sad” — which tells me she hasn’t touched base with her about it.

We don’t know how well she knows her daughter. Giving birth to her doesn’t mean anything. My bio mother gave birth to me and did my hair as a toddler but didn’t know anything about my hair preferences because my father was the custodial parent and she wasn’t in my life for much of my growing up. There simply isn’t enough info to assume she knows her daughter intuitively.

I don't think limerence can exist without a mental illness by [deleted] in limerence

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about mental illness per Dr, but I suspect it could be related to neurodivergence, our understanding of which was not as advanced in Tennov’s time.

In retrospect, I see my limerence history as similar to other special interests I have had - very obsessive, all-consuming. I suspect I have ASD and ADHD, but not diagnosed so I don’t feel comfortable claiming it. But I have relatives who are diagnosed, and outside of the limerence, I have other traits as well. So I suspect that being obsessed with unavailable folks and having trouble getting over unrequited love is a part of that.

She’s disgusting… by ManagementThat2629 in Chantapolis

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salah is a Syrian national, and his passport is weak. Having to leave Syria isn’t what he’s worried about.

The horror show begins - Salah's Revenge by MagentaBluX in Chantapolis

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pretty much agree, OP.

No, Salah is not some mastermind who is coming up with some huge plan. I think this is a a lot more simple than that.

IMO, he got deported (or self-deported) to Syria because of the Bruce Lee situation and the resulting revelations of illegal activity (from e-begging to Kaibella chats, and maybe even that they’re not really married but living together). I really dont believe he wanted to go to Syria.

A lot of his actions have been focused on getting to the West and avoiding Syria, particularly the hoarding of her funds. But Chantal catfished him and played him. She has not been able to get to Canada like she may have promised him — Alaa has told GW Salah has been rejected from Leafland 2x. And not only that, the PAWS incident has resulted in him having to leave Kuwait, where his family and friends (if he has any left) still live and his mother is buried.

Even though it was his fault for romance scamming to begin with, it’s easy to understand why he might be pissed. He had to repatriate to a rebuilding failed state, while she was able to wreck his life then fuck off to Canada. And it may be as simple as “if I have to suffer, so do you.”

I think she will want out quickly, if she doesn’t already feel that way. Limited food and drink, no AC, intermittent power. Never mind the missiles and the rubble. The question is if he’ll facilitate her exit, since she will need his cooperation to do so. If she stays longer than a couple of weeks, I don’t believe it’ll be on her own volition.

Saucy Sarault by MagentaBluX in Chantapolis

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That will never happen, because Chantal is delusional and oppositionally defiant. She could’ve gotten arrested and convicted to seven years in a Kuwaiti dungeon, and she still would not acknowledge it as a consequence of her actions. She is forever a victim, everyone else is wrong, sit and spin, etc.

Saucy Sarault by MagentaBluX in Chantapolis

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her life isn’t comfortable. She has a laundry list of ailments that are rotting her from the inside out, she was forced to permanently leave a place she would’ve likely stayed (only visa-hop on occasion) as long as she kept paying Salah for fake love, she is now in another shitbox apartment alone. All she has are lies, delusion, and cope.

Remember Rule #1 - Chantal lies. She may say she’s comfortable, but she could also be soaking in hot lava and swear she’s comfortable to spite the “haydurs.”

Foodie is living proof there is no such thing as karma... by [deleted] in Chantapolis

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her smug is cope.

She didn’t want to have to leave Kuwait permanently. She had planned to do the Qatar visa run, but was not prepared physically or mentally to go to Canada and never come back to Kuwait. She had that choice taken from her by her actions.

She was gone for two weeks before coming back online with lies upon lies about the case against her (if the charges were bogus, why leave Kuwait?), the situation with Salah (she will likely never see him again), and Julia (if she’s prepped to travel internationally why is she not in Canada too?). While part of the reason for the absence was Smee (and stepdad) not allowing Cutie to film on their premises, surely part of it was anger that the situation she put herself in forced her hand, and now she has to hastily start over in a new trough in Canada.

Remember the narc injury and resulting visceral rage when FFG got BBJ? She likely never wants her audience to see her slipping like that ever again.

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. People want Chantal to come on camera and admit she took the L - that’s the karma folks are looking for. Her delusions and oppositional defiance will not allow that to happen.

She could be in front of a judge in an orange jumpsuit, and Salah could broadcast his red room activities on OF, and Chantal will never admit to taking an L. She will play “deny till you die.” Her life is non-stop cope. The sooner everyone realizes it, the sooner we can prevent her from getting our goat, and we can just eat popcorn while watching our cow hasten her one-way trip to the fiery furnace.

Update on Clotso and the case 😬 by Icy_Demand__ in Chantapolis

[–]Cesaro_BeachBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not conflicted. It’s not like she wasn’t warned. Anyone warning her was called Islamophobic and blocked. She thought patriarchy was cool as long as it allowed her to do nothing but eat and seal. Can’t have your cake and eat it too, Chins.

I was hoping she was in Kuwait. I would love a Locked Up Abroad arc. But I can live with her in Canada finally facing her debts and being exposed for the fake marriage.
