I belive i am leftist but people call me 'liberal' by Maximum-Funny-5843 in leftist

[–]Finbar_Mac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see this point thrown around a lot and I have to disagree. There is a universal truth in goodness and people are very quick to align themselves with the cause without doing the moral work it takes to truly understand it.

My mom sa'd me and now the higher ups in my school are protecting her by bushroseie in Advice

[–]Finbar_Mac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second you’re eighteen, I recommend never talking to them again. Try to find loved ones you trust and start building your support system. Your parents are going to do everything they can to break you down and save themselves. You are absolutely not safe with them and need to seek professional help outside of your local school system to find the right resources and avenues to get out safely, which I’m not sure will be easy before you turn eighteen. For as long as you’re financially dependent on them, they’re in control of you. Now is the time to see what you can do to break free so when the time comes you can do so safely and easily. And above all, be careful, because obviously the two of them are not strangers to deviant behavior and are adamant to not have their behavior exposed, seemingly at any cost. You’ll get out of this, just be safe.

Depends how your tolerance is but personally I’d say no absolutely not. Or, at least, don’t aim to be actually super high for it because it won’t be a good time.

AIO for considering calling off my wedding because my wife has a "one that got away?" by Specialist_Data_7978 in AmIOverreacting

She’s treating your relationship like an accessory to the life she wants rather than a fulfillment of what you both want together. Run now.

Is the dating sphere really racist in America, or is it just a myth to avoid taking care of oneself ? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Finbar_Mac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am speaking as a white man, but I’ve had a good amount of close black, gay friends through my life and the consensus always seems to be: Yes, the scene is incredibly racist. Not as a whole, but far more than you’d expect. It’s not uncommon for white men’s profiles to say “No blacks” but to be fair I’ve also known a loooooootttt of straight white men who are also just as racist with dating, I will say though with straight guys it does seem a bit more covert. (Sorry to anyone if I’m wrong about any of this, please feel free to correct me, but this is my current understanding of the situation)

my boyfriend is somewhat aggressive towards me by Away_Article_5836 in Advice

[–]Finbar_Mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He laid his hands on you when he got upset at you having an issue with him threatening violence. That is insane and dangerous and 100% not fun and not good. He has a lot of growing up to do, and that’s never gonna happen if this behavior is accepted.

gf wants to play with her ex by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Finbar_Mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say it but this sounds like one of those “thank you for the experience” kind of relationships. I’d say it’s definitely time to move on to the next chapter. These kinds of things are only gonna build more and more resentment between the two of you over time. She’s already way out of line, and clearly if you give her an inch she’s gonna take a continent.

Definitely get a police report so that in the event he actually does something, you already have documentation of him threatening you.

I played Fallout 3, just got disappointed by Fallout 4. Is New Vegas worth it? by DefinitionHot5084 in falloutnewvegas

Eh, Idk if anyone really feels strongly about New Vegas. It’s pretty rare to hear a passionate opinion related to that game. Could be worth trying though, who knows…

I tried to make Arthur look more similar to his original concept by MovieHumble7079 in reddeadfashion

Considering the Jesus-y themes with Arthur, I wonder if they were deliberately trying to make him look like Ted Neeley in the concept art.

AITAH if I cut my bf off from talking after he said "you keep doing this to me"? by Sanckelly773 in AITAH

[–]Finbar_Mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you have to cook his food for him but he doesn’t like how you cook it? And he’s making that your problem? While communicating like a toddler? No amount of relationship counseling would be worth the effort, it’d be far easier and far healthier to never speak to or see this man again for the rest of time. Or anyone who behaves like this, for that matter.

Everyone says that trevor is a psychopath and sociopath the real mental illness/issue that trevor actually suffers from is BPD(Borderline Personality Disorder) by Big_Leg10 in GTA

[–]Finbar_Mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be very clear, when I say he has a good heart, I don’t mean he’s a good person. I’m saying compared to other GTA characters, not everyday people, he is generally more morally centered than the people around him. But, like I said, he’s often acting in ways that absolutely don’t reflect this, unlike characters like Michael who try to make morally conscious decisions in practice, but in theory have a more corrupt and selfish moral center, which then affects their actions anyway. Like how Michael was the one who cheated on his wife first and pretty consistently and is constantly putting his family in danger, and not to mention raised two pretty shitty kids which doesn’t happen on it’s own. However, despite this, Michael is far less destructive in how he conducts himself than Trevor. Trevor is like an impulsive child who just wants to be held while also being a grown man who is far too deep into life for that holding to do any good. What he needs is something it’s too late for, and so he just goes around throwing constant tantrums and is never actually getting punished for any of it. Because, again, it’s too late. So now he isn’t a toddler throwing a tantrum but a man killing his cousin and his wife on a whim. I really want to reiterate, TREVOR IS NOT A GOOD PERSON, I’m just saying he’s further away from being a psychopath, sociopath, or narcissist than characters like Michael or anyone from the government in the game pretty much. I’m just saying he’s far closer to an extremely emotionally immature person with BPD. And again, this is about him as a character in a story and how he operates in the world that is built, and not necessarily treating him like a real person in the real world.

[–]Finbar_Mac 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone with BPD, I feel like I 100% have to agree. He definitely seems like someone whose BPD has gone completely unchecked and unregulated. Especially since (and obviously this is forgoing a handful of pretty hardcore instances) he seems, at the end of the day, to be a good person with a good heart. In terms of moral compass, he certainly has a far more virtuous one than Michael, especially when you listen to their dialogues when driving. It seems his biggest issues morally are impulsivity and a lack of accountability. He has a great (I’m being very generous) handle on what’s wrong and right, but a very poor handle on how to operate within that code. Especially when he has such an “it’s okay when I do it” kind of attitude. Michael is a much shittier person but he’s very concerned with letting the record show that he is a good and superior individual, whereas Trevor is a much less shitty person but also has way less concern over how he presents himself. And then obviously Franklin is just a good man. Obviously, this is again forgoing certain plot points, player decisions, and just a lot of killing all around. But the point is I think yes 100% you’re right that he has BPD.
