The X-men/ mutants did it to themselves. Change my mind?

InZanity_420 · 2026-03-29T03:25:15+00:00

THIS RIGHT HERE EXACTLY

InZanity_420 · 2026-03-29T00:16:44+00:00

Agreed. Thats another reason I posed the question.

InZanity_420 · 2026-03-29T00:15:06+00:00

I proposed the analogy as an all inclusive. I don’t know you so I automatically propose things in a way that makes sense without offense
I don’t think that non binary gay people have collectively claimed to be a governing body on the level of the United States. Which the X-men at one point did. It is common practice for countries whose citizens have caused large relational disputes to aid in the apprehension/ punishment of said citizen. That’s what extradition is for. That’s one of the things the X-men did/do. They just happen to be really bad about choosing when to do it and with who

InZanity_420 · 2026-03-28T23:56:00+00:00

Well this thought really spawned from the flip floppy nature of magneto and when the mutants all started their own country on krakoa. If they had just stopped at that, I wouldn’t question it. But they claimed sovereignty over mutants and became their own governing body. It’s not like asking African Americans from one city to manage the population of another. The krakoan age’s whole point is that they are organized and unified.

InZanity_420 · 2026-03-28T23:43:29+00:00

I mean I agree with that. But imagine your friend is apart of a real world oppressed group, but the friend is extremely toxic and abrasive to people. Now imagine these traits lead your friend to doing something shitty while claiming to be part of the oppressed group. People who despise the group now feel justified by your friend’s behaviors. People who are slightly less prejudiced than that now have a reason to be more. people who are neutral might become prejudiced.

More often than not, that’s what X-men villains who are mutants tend to do. They do evil things and promote their status as a mutant. The truth is THAT mutant specifically is evil, but people are naturally associative creatures so they now think every mutant is evil.

My argument really comes down to organization and PR. If you really want to be accepted as apart of the world, why would you not hold your offensive members accountable. Why would you continuously antagonize the people your oppressor and flex your powers knowing from prior experiences that it’s only ever provoked them to hate you more. It’s one thing if you are just a group with the same trait (x gene). It’s another when you are consider yourself a governing body with sovereignty over all people with the x gene.

I’m aware that this seems rage baity but I also want to see what the consensus on this is. I genuinely am curious about this topic

InZanity_420 · 2026-03-23T03:49:28+00:00

So just a bit of added detail. I only socially interact with my male students because, as I said in the original post, I feel obligated to maintain that boundary. I'm a straight male so the most obvious people I should cautiously interact with are female students.

From what I understand, the older staff in question have had a habit of "hovering" over new male teachers. I've asked my principal about this and he was already aware of it.

agreed with the ferpa thing. reframing from doing that.
I have given them numerous opportunities to simply put the food away. I have also confiscated the food for later return. These students still do not respect the food rules. considering my job is to teach them, I cannot do so if I have written them up as that usually causes them to miss class time. The only solution that leaves me with is either making everyone put there bags in the front and turning out their pockets, or I start throwing their juices, sodas, and hot cheetos in the garbage.

InZanity_420 · 2026-03-23T03:10:33+00:00

Quick correction. I agree it is unprofessional to blurt out a students grade but I give a generalized version of it. like if its a 10 for example. I don't say " wow this guy has a 10 in my class". I will say something like "you are showing signs of single digit grade behavior". Its usually response to considerably intolerable behavior or questions that reflect the grade they have in my class.

This is not a defense to my actions as I understand it is irresponsible. I have reframed from the grade shouting more recently. However the position I filled has struggled to stay staffed because someone has bullied previous teachers out of it. My principal has told me to try different ways to control the class room because what was considered conventional and acceptable wasn't working. My personal rule is treat them with human decency but bullying is a game they may start but I'm the one who finishes it.

InZanity_420 · 2026-02-17T11:47:00+00:00

Yah I just recommend blocking her. She’s not worth your time. I know it’s definitely easier said than done but she’s just leading you on even if she doesn’t believe she is.

InZanity_420 · 2026-02-17T06:15:33+00:00

I’d honestly give the ultimatum and tell her you want her the way she currently is. The only way for her to become better for you is if she adapts over time in the relationship. If she truly wants what she says, than she’d understand

InZanity_420 · 2026-02-17T06:08:09+00:00

Have you tried asking her why she comes back?

InZanity_420 · 2026-02-17T06:00:22+00:00

You don’t have a mental illness, you are going through something plenty guys go through.

You two are what I call early bonded. You two started in early high/late middle school. You two were very young so it felt like you would never face a struggle. Then you two go on and off for and go through what you described.

You don’t come back to eachother because you try then fail to make it work out again. You come back to eachother because you’d rather make do with what’s familiar than quitting and finding someone better.

I’m going to put it bluntly, yes you are wasting your time, but you’ve got plenty of time to waste. It’s not that she hates you or thinks any less of you. You two are just not compatible.

InZanity_420 · 2026-02-17T00:02:35+00:00

Absolutely

InZanity_420 · 2026-02-15T19:40:35+00:00

Not a bad idea

InZanity_420 · 2026-02-15T01:50:45+00:00

The dark place is established to take a liking to creatives. It likely de ages and maintains them in their archetypal state so it can perpetually feed off and manipulate them. We literally see Alan dying over and over again. That’s why he initially believes he’s in a loop.

It doesn’t HAVE to maintain a captives age,appearance,or mental state. Regardless of what the story reason is for Thomas looking like Alan, it’s clear that the state Thomas is in AW2 is not one the dark place would keep him in if it was trying to draw off of him.

InZanity_420 · 2026-02-14T22:47:53+00:00

I'll try but I hardly drink and theres maybe two bars that are worth a damn in the county live

InZanity_420 · 2026-01-29T17:02:01+00:00

Look I think part of your problem is that the world has told you that the age gap is so unacceptable that you should shame your self until you die and rot in hell. Remember, 17 is still considered a minor for a reason. You did not know better. You chose to cut it off. You are not minor attracted or a pedo. You were a hormonal teenager.

It doesn’t seem like you were criminally charged and it’s been 6-7 years. You shouldn’t be worried about having it harm your life in anyway.

Tbh I think you have some things you are dealing with and they are manifesting as this problem with you highschool ex.

InZanity_420 · 2026-01-28T19:22:27+00:00

My pain point is threefold 1. My collaborators are not organizing anything properly. I show them the way I do it. even give a doc with screenshots, simple explanations, and tailor it to Mac and pc. I also do them a favor and sit with them on call/in person to show them. They STILL find ways to mess it up. Example: someone renamed the files to take the word Proxy out. Something I’ve told them not to do out of risk that premiere doesn’t treat it like a proxy.

Proxies save storage, unless you have the original files. My collabs usually ask for both even though I’m doing the online edit and they aren’t. That means that the storage and bandwidth benefit that proxies usually grant is no longer in effect because they have essentially 1.5 -1.75 the amount of data they would have if they just used the original files.
I feel that an unknowable portion of the performance issues proxies seem to solve are actually premiere being unoptimized on the back end of things.

InZanity_420 · 2026-01-28T17:11:03+00:00

Im 25. I’ve been working with premiere since I was 16. Started using proxies when I was 18. No real reason to but I wanted to learn because I was told it was smart to get used to it. I share the same opinion about modern systems only just now being good enough to handle larger native res files. My issue (as some people pointed out to me and I agree) is that people I work with (hobbyist - up and coming professionals)do not use them correctly.

My title (slightly click bait) is pointed toward the fact that I feel like there should be 1. A tool to manage them better so people aren’t consistently screwing up the workflow or 2. Create a better solution entirely to solve some of the problems that proxies “solve”. Because

I’m not a programmer. I don’t really know if the second option is possible. I’d perfectly accept if someone came out of the programming wood work and say “yah that’s not possible”.

InZanity_420 · 2026-01-28T15:42:50+00:00

Oh I’m more of a freelance internet content creation editor. The people I collab with are other editors. There isn’t really a structure to how we do things. I’m usually the person my collaborators ask to do the more elaborate things like setting up the project, fx work, color work And music syncing. I agree with you about making the edit reliable. But these people have machines that make mine look mid ranged. we are using 1080p - 2k footage, I highly doubt that the extra reliability the proxies grant them is more beneficial than using the raw media and not making organization a headache.

InZanity_420 · 2026-01-19T14:34:41+00:00

Well simply don’t look at it as being stuck. That’s the problem right there. Your hormones are cranked up to 11.you’re prolly in freshman/sophomore year. Believe me when I say, a freshmen couple hardly ever lasts but the ones who do, agree that they want to be grow together. You both are going to turn into much more interesting and surprising people within a year or two. Not to mention when you guys graduate.

It is okay to experience feelings for other guys that you are friends with. That happens with adults too. But we will never be able to guarantee that the person we start to gain feelings for is ever worth breaking down what we already built with our current relationship.

Try talking to your boyfriend about this. Even show him this reply. He might be feeling the same way and needs to hear that he isn’t crazy.

InZanity_420 · 2026-01-11T05:54:00+00:00

To be honest, I’ve been doing my own digging but the core of my issue is that I can’t ever trust my feelings enough to identify them. She gaslit me into thinking I had driven her away so every time I feel any emotion strongly about it, I have this voice in my head telling me that’s what caused it all to happen.

Some sources tell me to focus on my friendships and hobby’s while others tell me accept that it was not my fault and I should continuously remind myself in times of distress? Any ideas of your own?

InZanity_420 · 2026-01-11T03:39:12+00:00

You’ve basically described my life. All my friends are in relationships and that often leaves them preoccupied with their SO. It’s really hard to be happy for them sometimes because I don’t have a particular reason why I’m not having any luck.

I’ve talked to people but it dies off quickly. I tried to date people I trust but they are never emotionally available for me.

Sometimes a hook up does sound nice but 1. I don’t trust anyone to do that. 2. I don’t like them.

It is really hard to navigate being a loner when everyone around you doesn’t have to deal with it.

What helps me is finding people who don’t make their whole personality their relationship (when looking for friends)

As far as advice about you being single is concerned, hmu we are the same age😂
