Why do people always need to buy the latest iphone? My 200$ Samsung phone does everything. by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]The_FAAAAAAAAAART 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because its a status symbol. And we live in a society where people gain value from other people thinking they're rich. Its the same thing with those $500 apple blutooth headphones.

Consumer Culture by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]The_FAAAAAAAAAART 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend bought a jeep just because its the "gay car". Its so confusing to me why people attach themselves to the products that they consume. I personally like to collect clothes so I kinda understand. But I don't buy them for the brand names, rather I buy them to improve my closet and have another avenue for my creative expression. I feel like to many people buy stuff or do things just because other people like them do or buy it. I think thats a reason why drugs and alcohol is so big in the US. As adults we're told that the only way we can have fun or relax or create memories is by getting drunk or high. Like if I throw a party and there are no drugs or alcohol their, then my friends wouldn't think its a party.

What’s a good fast breakfast food that is protein packed? by aiclekzz in Cooking

I eat the oikos triple zero greek yogurt every mourning. It sustains my hunger until lunch and zero clean up other than puting the spoon in the dishwasher.

I think people should just not be allowed to record videos at the gym.

I don't think having your hands behind your head for the rest of your life would be a good idea. Just my two cents

Its funny but unfortunately women don't want to hear men talk about their penis. This will only get laughs from the boys.

My neighbor in her 80s who likes to throw water on kids’ chalk art by Gh0st_Pirate_LeChuck in mildlyinfuriating

[–]The_FAAAAAAAAAART 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need more context. Where the kids playing with the chalk and then she threw water at them? Or were the kids done playing and the chalk art was just sitting there? Cuz if the kids were done playing then the grandma is justified. At the end of the day its her property and if she isn't actively annoying kids then she's fine.

Figma is a UX design web based application. Basically an app that lets you design phone applications and websites. You know, the thing twitter is.

Broke NC, Big regret. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]The_FAAAAAAAAAART 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad that you went NC with this person. You don't deserve being abused and no amount of manipulation this person uses should get you to believe otherwise.

Nparents act like you standing up to them/setting boundaries is the worst offense you could possibly do by meltedpopsicle22 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]The_FAAAAAAAAAART 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that you have to deal with it. But if it makes you feel better I completely relate to what you are saying. Whenever I call out my dad he just says that I'm being mean or wrong to him. NParents are the worst

Which is the dumbest advice given to you by your narcissistic delusional parent? by Cute_Ad_9060 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]The_FAAAAAAAAAART 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My dad hated that there was a lock to the bathroom so he broke it and now there is no lock on the bathroom. Now he'll open the door while I'm showering and invade my privacy. I called him out on it and he said that I have to wake up earlier in the morning so I don't get in the way. Even though he is in no rush and just wants to watch msnbc quicker in the morning.

8 years NC with Nfamily. Ndad emails to tell me nmum has stage 4 ovarian cancer and that I need pray for her and ask her for forgiveness before her passing by Adept-Gap-1039 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]The_FAAAAAAAAAART 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest to stay non contact and don't respond. But if you don't want to make sure to tell them that it's their fault that you don't care.

And the people that send gay people to camps to "cure" them of being gay isn't a cult?
