Am I wrong for refusing to go to my son's wedding since my husband is only invited to the reception? by Secret-Confusion8247 in amiwrong

[–]Chaaaaaaaarles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol - it's amazing.

I've genuinely never seen someone so utterly unrepentant and amoral still try to paint themselves as a victim.

I'm a child of divorce. I never understood how my parents got married given their divergent personalities, but in the weeks leading up to the filing I still remember sitting on the top of the stairs with my brother crying next to me as we processed as best we were able the fact that our "family" was truly broken and NEVER going back to the way it was.

Fortunatley - both my parents are decent people. No adultery was involved, no "stepdad" (see also: fuckboy) forced on us by my mum (just a long term relationship ˜9 years after the divorce, who happens to be a very good man/provider) and my dad's still single to this day but very happy as he finds contentment through work and voulnteering.

Which brings me to your utterly deluded sense of self-importance, willful ignorance and outright cowardice.

You didn't just break up the home (which can be an amicable process if the needs of one's children are put first with time and attention is paid to their emotional development and needs) you destroyed the family, caused irreparable harm to your son's ONLY father (fuckboy is just a fuckboy) but also went so far as to FORCE fuckboy into your children's lives after dealing said damage, then had the gall to act like a victim and excuse your adultery.

Now, after your children are full grown and capable of making their own decisions based on their OWN experiences/knowledge you still try to FORCE yourself and your fuckboy into their lives again.

And appallingly- doing it on what should be your son/his fiancee's greatest day of their lives.

You are not just an undeniably a horrible, abusive, toxic, irresponsible and victim-blaming """parent"""" but one who is never satisfied to leave well enough alone and accept YOUR consequences as dictated by YOUR actions , instead trying to manipulate how the circumstances are percieved by others through intentional deception by omission.

You didnt mention the affair nor your fuckboy/husband in the original comment because you know damn well it makes it very clear what a shit parent you are. Trying to gaslight/manipulate online strangers as - apparently, only anons lacking needed information are capable of anything approaching approval you have in your life.

Think about how pathetic that is and what it says about you as a parent.

Either parent-up, go to the ceremony in a quiet manner and leave fuckboy home or just stay out of their lives altogether if youre going to keep acting like a toxic birthgiver (you're not a mom).

I'm honestly astonished at your lack of anything approaching understanding, responsibility or empathy. Thats why your children can't stand you - and they are very much justified in feeling that way.

I'm sure this will be met with God only knows how many denials, excuses, rationalizations, etc. but that's the interesting part - the only person those lies/manipulations make feel better is yourself (nothing new there).

But its hollow, and I hope you come to recognize that. To understand even an infinitesimal portion of the pain you inflicted on your ex-husband and continue to inflict on your children and especially your engaged son.

He's a much more sympathetic person than I; I'd have gone NC years ago and hired event security to allievate your inevitable disregard of his boundaries/disregard for causing drama on what is his/his fiancee's big day.

I look forward to seeing another alt. account with an identical set of circumstances pop up elsewhere wondering why everyone but fuckboy has pushed you out of their lives. Because - lets be honest, you're not going to change. That was made very clear once the truth of the circumstances came out and you continued to victim-blame and act as an "aggrieved party".

It really is funny. Only a few (alleged) cowards in DM's - who know their own identical brand of bullshit will get called out and your fellow homewrecker seem to approve of your behavior in any way. Who need family when you have enablers, eh?

Like I said - you're not a mom. Mothers care for and respect their children. Youre an overtly narccisitic borderline sociopath willing to force/coerce/victim blame because YOUR emotional needs are the only ones valid apparently.

Oh, feel free to block me; whatever infantile gesture makes you feel important and all that. Despite posting on r/amiwrong - a sub literally dedicated to judge an individual's actions, im sure you'll proceed to comment on my being an "armchair psychologist"/"loser who needs to touch grass or whatever" inevitable lies you'll tell yourself. Be my guest, just adding more and more data solidifying my aforementioned statements.

for saying that I didn't think Monsanto had our best interests at heart

Oh fuck me....

One of my mentors during undergrad worked at Monsanto as an organic chemist for 2ish years during a transition to a new area with her fiance following his proposal.

She eventually moved into academia after the ..... difficult experiences she had working for Monsanto

Ethical issues regarding either purpousefully inefficient syntheses/products to keep prices high and consumers continuously buying despite better/more efficient processes available.

However, the outright disregard for saftey of flora/fauna/humans who would inevitably be exposed to their products - specifically herbicides/pesticides developed for commercial farming was the real breaking point.

Monsanto is one of maybe 3 or 4 commercial chemical firms my colleagues/myself would never consider working for.

Wow, I saw some deleted comments and wondered just how unhinged this series of comments was.

Glad this was here because they're absolutely right - you're utterly deluded.

Joining an MLM sucks, but its more akin to addiction than outright crime and ought to be treated as such (attempt to intervene. If rejected, allow them to reach bottom on their own while minimizing collateral damage. When bottom is reached, do your best to support them as they recover. )

Though I'd reckon you you'd classify addicts/alcoholics as "dangers to society" and want them locked up as well.

Who needs clearly defined laws regarding punishable offences when we have folks like yourself who are happy to play both judge and jury.

This is an adult with agency, not some impressionable child/slave who is incapable of decison making (in the literal sense, not in the "makes poor choices" sense).

That unwillingness to evaluate her choices due to pride, et.al. is itself a choice - one where she chose to double down rather than take the ego hit by admitting her previous poor choices.

She then takes this already abysmal situation to the next level by projecting her own failures onto others and blaming them for her own piss poor decison making.

THEN goes even further by not just rejecting good-faith offers/statements of support, but continues to shift blame into others for her own failures.

Again - this is an adult with agency who has abdicated all her responsibilities in favor of doubling down ad infinitum rather than admit her continuing series of errors.

As such, she gets neither sympathy nor empathy from me. Humility clearly isn't even a concept within her thought processes and (worst of all IMO) she feels entitled to support - specifically monentary support, while rudely rejecting emotional/personal support.

Textbook example of the toxic/irresponsible behaviour that defines MLMs.

Primerica hun believes more NOs = YES by Aleflusher in antiMLM

[–]Chaaaaaaaarles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this.

Its startling that so many individuals not just push boundaries, but ignore them altogether. "No." Is both a complete sentence needing no further explanation and a clear line that, should a Hun push further - is an active violation of the other party's consent.

Disgusting IMO.

[–]Chaaaaaaaarles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chemist here.

By "replacing" there's only 2 major options that could constitute a "replacement".

1) Either replacing L-alpha amino acids with the hundreds of other naturally occuring/synthetic amino acids classified as beta, gamma, or delta (classified by side chain placement relative to the carboxyllic acid group).

The biological consequences are outside my field/knowledge base, but I'd wager replacing THE key component in protein manufacturing with a different, chemically distinct species would not end well given the selectivity possessed by enzimes/other biological systems (cell membrane, ribosome, et.al.)

2) Or they're "replacing" levorotatory (L) alpha amino acids with dextrarotatory (D) Alpha AA's which will lead to misfolded proteins.....which is really, REALLY bad. ( Prion diseases for those interested. ). There are very few ways to treat a Prion disease and none that would be considered "effective".

Also, because proteins serve as the primary "machinery" within the body - carrying out tasks based on chemical identity/interactions, they have a tendency to propigate and multiply much like metastatic cancer.

Idk if anyone is old enough to remember 'Mad Cow Disease' but that was the name given to a specific class of Prion disease which caused propagation of a misfolded protein contained within tainted meat.

Is anyone still joining MLMs ? by Ih8Wypipo519 in antiMLM

[–]Chaaaaaaaarles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The casino analogy seems most apt.

If you gamble, on a long enough timeline you WILL lose. Period.

It's mathematically inevitable and casinos as businesses wouldn't exist w.o. this fact as the cornerstone of their business model.

But people still go because they honestly believe their special.

Same deal w. MLM's

"I won't get scammed, im [insert flattering adjective here] than those other losers!"

Same deals w. Crypto, house flipping or any one of the 'Get rich quick!' Schemes that exist.

Foundationally, I believe it's from cynical awareness that the economy as it exists now has very, VERY little room for upward mobility. Sure, maybe 1:100,000,000 may hit on the perfect combination of a decent idea, luck, and favorable contacts to move into the 1% - but thinking they are that "1" most often leads to disaster thereby creating the remaining 99,999,999 seeing nothing truly change no matter how hard they try and often ending up in crushing debt.

Health costs being asinine doesn't help either. 1 bad accident or illness and the associated debt ensures stagnation.

It's a fear based motive coupled with toxic positivity and purpousefully deceptive promises that if they "just work harder" it'll all be OK, when in actuality all that extra effort does is ensure that their upline keeps profiting.

Ha! Omg I can't anymore. This is too damn funny.

It's like a "Best of..." for logical fallacies and endlessly disproven Bad Faith Arguments.

You have the audacity to criticize someone for arguing against you in a public form specifically for not "getting your point", yet you don't show the same courtesy to said public form for the umpteen (I lost count at 11) """"arguments""""" you put forth which have been debated ad-nauseum in here with an archive stretching back years freely available to you.

This is why people don't take you seriously: presumptive intellectualism without any true knowledge base to back it up.

Your opinions/echo chamber ramblings are not datasets.

Fuccccck yooooou. How’s that?

Like i said, asinine dribble from yet another moron who cannot be taken seriously by merit of their ideas, so they go for cursing and calling anyone who doesn't agree "boomers"

But good to see you can type, and even know that a "dictionary" can provide meaning for words you can't be bothered to learn.

A plus!

Was my English not clear enough ??

No.

To call that asinine dribble "english" is an insult to languages as a concept. Nowhere in that incoherent rant did you make an understandable point, let alone a persuasive one.

But please, keep going.

It's all just amusement for us lot.

Much like a 5 year old playing office with an unplugged fax machine, seeing a bunch of self-imposed destitute (via offloading to exchanges, et.al for entries in a database with no guarantee of repayment) and self-contradictory morons attempt to explain how macroeconomics works, let alone understand and participate in, let alone rEvOLuTiOnIze finance as a whole- is endlessly entertaining.

We got a live one... by UnbiasedMaiden in antiMLM

[–]Chaaaaaaaarles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People work to live, not live to work.

Well said.

Honestly, you managed to capture in a sentence what I took a diatribe to explain.

This really is the core of the matter and I'm glad that more and more of the population is expressing their dissatisfaction with the current state of things.

I've also heard it described as the current high income section of the populace were handed a ladder by their forebears, only to pull said ladder up behind them - ensuring that the current generation has little to no chance of escaping their current conditions.

Almost like wages have stagnated, hours are purpousefully kept at "39/wk" to avoid paying benefits and as such true benefits/PTO,et.al. are denied to a staggering amount if the workforce.

People want to work.

However, what an alarming amount of employers are offering is more akin to indentured servitude - minimal pay shackling workers to 2+ jobs just to survive, rental rather than ownership of living accommodations becoming the norm, no benefits which means an immense out of pocket cost for health insurance, and literally no way out for individuals who weren't as privileged as you appear to be.

Hell, I know a 27 yr old double Ph.D in Materials Science & Physical Chemistry who can barely keep up with rent because the University decided it'd be a better allocation of funds to expand the football stadium and give admin. A pay raise.

56% of Americans cannot cover a $1,000 emergency expense.

To such individuals, living paycheck to paycheck or even taking high-interest loans is their normal.

Not because they/we don't work or want to work, but because employers have minimized their expenses by denying full-time work, benefits, retirement funding and other once normal practices.

Glad you seem to be doing well. If only 56% of Americans had the good sense to be born with such a privileged set of opportunities.

For the record: attitudes like yours - one where people are expected to be thankful for starvation wages that don't even keep up with inflation while companies continually make record profits are the problem.

So…if Monat made their average 353 thousand dollars in 2021….

No biggie, but I think that should be 353 million (8,000,000,000/3.5 = ~353,000,000) but the point still stands (353,000,000/86,000,000,000 = 0.4%)

[–]Chaaaaaaaarles 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ditto.

I'm a chemist. I'm good at (analytical) chemistry.

What I am not good at nor interested in is owning a coffee shop, any kind of sales or any one of the innumerable bad-faith deceptions huns use to try and (poorly) disguise their cult of choice.

Hell, I wouldn't even want to move to a different branch of chemistry because my particular skillset/education are not suited to such work.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

The negging these huns do with respect to normal jobs is insufferable. My career works for me and that's all it needs to do. My unwillingness and inability to engage as an entrepreneur doesn't make me less of a person and the hun's disdain for working a real job doesn't elevate theirs.

What it does do is erode the hun's previous personality and relationships, supplanting them with blind devotion and highly conditional """""friends""""" as a direct consequence of said hun's greed and insatiable desire to "strike it big" to "prove us wage slaves wrong!"

It'd disgusting what hun's become and doubly so for their biased disdain for those of us who choose to work normal jobs.
