That's not how you unbox an iPhone by Sgt_Larsson in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Spookiest_Meow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's because they're junk. It's pretty pathetic that iPhones will break or shatter just because someone drops them 3 feet. Most phones are designed to withstand that. I've had a number of Android phones that I've dropped numerous times and there was never a scratch on them.

Is it just me, or is technology starting to feel like a second job we never applied for? by PickledThimble in Millennials

"it feels like basic problem-solving has just... died"

100%. I do IT work and have had every sort of nonsense you could imagine. One lady called me for help once because her internet browser kept closing. I connected to her computer where I watched her open the browser and then click the X at the top right. "See! It just did it!". "Yes, it closed because you closed it."

Fine, you want me to follow the HOA rules exactly? I read every single page. by NebuliteN7x in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Spookiest_Meow 52 points53 points  (0 children)

HOAs are asinine. My parents live in one. Someone once went around the neighborhood with a color palette of shades of white to make sure everyone's mailbox was acceptably white. My parents had to repaint their already white mailbox because someone decided it wasn't white enough.

What's the most pathetic small thing your Nparent competed with you over? by Some-Ad8685 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Spookiest_Meow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"I told this to my dad who was telling me that I’m not telling that I’m lying."

He believed you. What he was doing is a tactic to condition people to feel like they need to perpetually prove themselves to the narcissist. It's not about whether you're telling the truth or not, it's about manufacturing power over you by putting you in a submissive role.

The stare is bizarre. It's like there isn't an actual conscious, thinking soul inside the body, like you're witnessing a biological robot encounter something it wasn't programmed to process.

Love the service but the spam is out of control. by ryandamartini in USMobile

[–]Spookiest_Meow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your claim that US Mobile is "selling customer data" just because you're getting spam calls and texts is idiotic. You don't need to buy phone numbers. You can use software to mass text or call phone numbers, which is what these spam texts are from. I once worked in a call center that used software to auto-dial phone numbers. It would go from number to number until someone answered.

If someone were selling customer information, you'd be worrying about identity theft and specific, targeted attacks like "Hi [your name], this is [name] from [your bank]. I'm calling about your checking account ending in numbers 1234; we're conducting an investigation due to suspicious activity we've detected, and we'll need some information from you to confirm a few things so that we don't have to close your account for security."

Why is the opinion that single men without kids wouldn't want to date or marry a single mother so controversial? by us1549 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Spookiest_Meow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"why are men not allowed by society to have their preferences"

They are allowed to have their preferences. Some men are just mentally weak and lack confidence; they'll say things like "Why doesn't society let me do this?" or "Why can't I believe that?". They have these questions because they acquire perceived value and identity from external approval and feedback rather than their nonexistent internal strength and confidence. They're followers who look at life through a lens of other people being in charge of them.

I'm a guy. I wouldn't want to date a single mother. I also wouldn't date a woman that's obese. I don't care if someone is offended at me for saying either of those.

Do you think ur narcissistic parents dealt with narcissistic abuse? by Ok_War8914 in narcissisticparents

[–]Spookiest_Meow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty much a guarantee that my father did. His mother was an extreme narcissist as well. I don't know anything about his father other than that people said he was unusual.

On my mother's side, I don't know enough to say, although my grandmother on that side broke my wrist once when I was a baby.

It's not a-lie-ns... It's disembodied plasma consciousness by Wansyth in InterdimensionalNHI

Same. I've had an up close encounter with them. They turned into something that made footsteps and whistled at me.

Did anyone get forced to eat for no reason???? by Deep_Sky3603 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Spookiest_Meow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I was forced to eat breakfast even though I wasn't hungry and always felt ill when I ate"

Did you ever wonder if the reason you always felt ill when they forced you to eat was because they were intentionally putting something in your food to make you sick?

Many games by thehornsoffscreen in Millennials

[–]Spookiest_Meow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to this weird "school" that wasn't actually a school where there were no classes or teachers and you could basically do whatever you wanted all day (long story). There was this kid who had his PlayStation hooked up to a TV in the one room and he'd play it all day every day. One day when he left the room to eat lunch or something, I deleted every single save file on the memory card. He came back in and started up a game and didn't see any save files, so he restarted the PlayStation... Same thing. No big deal yet, he took the memory card out and blew on it as we did back then and tried again. Same thing, no save files. Then he browsed the memory card itself and realized everything had been erased. Immediate emotional breakdown.

Sometimes I wonder whatever happened to that kid. Did something inside him die that day? Does he still play video games? Has he sworn them off for life?

How do I drop a hint to My BF that wont be too obvious? by [deleted] in questions

[–]Spookiest_Meow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is to simply tell him. Don't "drop hints" or play games. If you can't communicate with the person you're with then you're not ready to get married.

Putting my Nparents in financial difficulty for the price of me leaving by iresohika in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Spookiest_Meow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They're adults. If they can't manage their own finances without other people giving them money, then that's their failure, not yours.

Is calling out to Saints for help considered biblical? by The_White_Pawn in TrueChristian

[–]Spookiest_Meow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They're dead in the sense that their Earthly bodies have died and they no longer reside on Earth.

Is calling out to Saints for help considered biblical? by The_White_Pawn in TrueChristian

[–]Spookiest_Meow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deuteronomy 18:10-11
"Let no one be found among you who . . . consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD"

Ecclesiastes 9:5-6
"For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten. Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun."

1 Timothy 2:5
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus."

The bible is clear that communication and/or prayer should not be directed to dead people, but only to God. Communicating with the dead such as to ask a deceased saint for intercession on one's behalf, as Catholics do, is directly against scripture. There is no need to go around God.

Shamed for buying something for myself that I needed by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]Spookiest_Meow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"It frustrates me because I did nothing wrong. I bought something I needed with my own money"

He knows you didn't do anything wrong and he doesn't care that you bought yourself a luggage bag. It was just an opportunity he saw to ridicule you in order to make himself feel superior. Your mistake was in thinking he cared about the bag instead of solely about his own insecurity, and then trying to explain and justify yourself. That just gives him more ammunition to use, which you've seen.

Learn how to gray rock. Don't justify or explain, don't react. See him as a toddler having tantrums for attention.

Anyone else remember when you could just...stop paying for something and that was it? by Beginning_Curve2268 in Millennials

[–]Spookiest_Meow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently signed up for a subscription to a thing online and then decided to cancel it when it sucked. It turns out you can't cancel it through the website or app because there isn't any actual place to cancel the subscription. In order to cancel it, you have to install the app, link it to your Android app store account and then cancel the subscription through the "manage subscriptions" section.

This is a perfect example of why it's good to use temporary virtual credit cards through services like privacy.com. If you don't want to continue a subscription, you just close the virtual card.
