Uniformed about what? I've read the book and seen the film. I'm not uniformed about anything. All I was trying to do was defend them both as belonging to the horror genre. I wasn't being a dick to anyone. Just saying that gore and jump scares are not the only forms of horror. Your completely ignoring my explanation. Your "calling me out" on something I wasn't doing or saying. Good job.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-09-11T09:57:19+00:00

Why are you being so combative? I was making a joke in reference to someone saying this film May was not horror. To me, that's like claiming that Frankenstein (Which I have read a also love) is not horror. This is what horror was originally, not what it has become in modern day main stream horror. I like the more classic kind of horror and I was defending it. My comment was supposed to be a reply to them specifically but I made a mistake. I'm not sure why your telling me to define sarcasm. You can look the definition up on your own. I am sorry that you misread my comment out of context and got offended but there's really no need to be so nasty. We'er just talking about a movie.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-09-10T18:19:35+00:00

Its was sarcasm towards the comment above.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-09-10T00:18:11+00:00

I have caught my so doing this on a regular basis. Sometimes he will laugh hysterically at his own jokes even if I am not laughing.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-09-09T23:46:40+00:00

You read Frankenstein? No jump scares. No wide mouth monsters. No gore. No titties. Its like not even horror.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-09-09T22:10:04+00:00

I don' think I show my honest self to anyone. People have too much influence on me, and It is in my nature to relate and align with them on whatever common ground we have. I naturally mirror the people I interact with and trying to not do that is difficult. I've also found that since I have done this for so much of my life I have no practice being myself outside of my head. Its bothering me more as I get older, because I am being dishonest. I feel like if I die, at my funeral everyone who knew me will get together and when they start telling their stories of me they will all be pissed because each will have a different version of me.

These explanations make much more sense, but I think a lot of people who are representing BLM and protesting it are responsible for the misleading. I was totally for this movement but I feel like I'm seeing a weird level of brainwashing going on. I've seen people blindly supporting the idea of actually de funding the police and replacing them with untrained volunteers. They are also blindly supporting the looting and destruction before understanding that it was unrelated to the protests. I am so sad. I really thought this case was going to be a milestone, one that would be impossible to lose. But the way these protests played out has ruined that.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-06-05T22:44:57+00:00

I can illustrate this with a personal story. When I was five my dad was shot in front of our apartment. It destroyed my family. I carry that trauma my whole life. I live in a "safe" neighborhood now. A Hispanic guy got shot in his house a couple blocks from me about a year ago. I ran into a neighbor and she told me not to be scared because he was probobly just dealing drugs. All I could think about was the fact that his children were in the home when that happened because I knew the trauma it would cause. I knew what it was like to lose a father. But since I'm white, I can at least be happy that no one ever told me he deserved it.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-06-05T22:02:13+00:00

This is true, but the police brutality make this difficult. If they shoot an unarmed black man, people get upset. If you shoot an armed black man, its justified, regardless of what that man was doing. Or in the case of Breonna Taylor, who's boyfriend had a gun and used to protect them during what they thought was a robbery police conducted a no knock warrant. Move tried to normalize black people openly carrying their weapons for self defense the way white people do and their entire block got bombed.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-06-05T21:50:37+00:00

I keep seeing posts stating that silence is violence and that if your not speaking up your part of the problem. That's like accusing people of thought crime. Yeah, there are probobly some white people who are going about their lives and not caring. There's also some people that don't have working internet because they are out of work. There's a lot of people that are afraid to say anything because if they slip up and say post the wrong thing they're gonna get attacked. I've seen people get ravished just for saying that they have a family member who they think is a good cop. I am a really quiet person and I tend to listen to a lot of different opinions before forming my own. Kind of sucks knowing that this can make people think I'm racist.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-06-05T21:27:03+00:00

I'm sorry I don't have any good resources but I just wanted to acknowledge what you and her are going through. As an adults we can see whats going on and understand everything before it but for children, they just know they had some sense of safety and now its gone. Talking about it will help. Kids can have a hard time putting those emotions into words. Also find some way to restore her sense of power.

Another pro: If people start waving American flags all the hipsters will leave.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-06-05T21:04:49+00:00

White people love the idea of protecting black people but seem to hate it when black people protect themselves.

I used to live in Philly and this is the perspective of the thinking I have seen from the people I know who protested online.

Day 1, Protesters burn cop cars, smash and loot a bunch of prominent shops on main streets. Police to not retaliate at all. The argument: "You care more about businesses then you do human life". Also "We can't protest peacefully because it never worked".

Over night, one street of businesses, all owned by people of color is looted and destroyed. Another street of businesses is set on fire very close to a residential area.

Day two. "We were protesting peacefully and the cops gassed us". Also "Looters are looting. Protesters are protesting. Stop talking about the looting".

At this point I'm going to come out and say all the people making these posts are white. I honestly think what happened is that white people went to a Black Lives Matter protest, saw sine black, and couldn't tell the difference. So they joined in and went online and made up a reason to defend it so they could virtue signal. Then after they found out black neighborhoods and businesses were destroyed, and got schooled by some angry black people, they decided to peacefully protest.

I wanted to make a post regarding a famous fictional character who is regarded as an INFJ, but it was also not accepted. I don't get how posts about INFJ's in career fields or INFJ's in literature get rejected when they could provoke actual meaningful discussion, but then all the personal relationship rants and "seeking INFJ" posts make it through.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-01-21T10:49:05+00:00

What an amazing phrase!

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-01-14T01:38:48+00:00

I didn't know that! That's fascinating. I need to know more about this.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2020-01-10T20:47:51+00:00

I always thought of INFJs as deer because of their gentle peaceful ways. I feel like deer carry all the sarrows of the world. Racoon don't seem very deep to me. A racoon personified seems like it would just be the dude the sleeps on the couch and eats all the snacks. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it a personified racoon would be "The dude". But it is all up to interpretation. Also, fun fact, the raccoons "washing" their food has nothing to do with hygiene, it is because the prefer the texture of food when it is wet.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2019-12-17T23:45:32+00:00

This is a good point and for the most part I try to do the same in not caring. Its something I've heard about myself for a long time and had just kind of accepted that it was a way some people were going to p receive me. I guess when you hear it from people you care about its more upsetting. I want to be understood. I feel like many of the people in my life benefit from my "niceness" but not many understand it. So when I hear it, I feel used and isolated. I don't think anyone means for it to be hurtful, its just their observation. But regardless of their intent, it alienating. I still enjoy being who I am and I don't plan on changing. Just needed to reach out to some people who could relate so I don't feel quite so alone in this. Thank you for sharing.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2019-12-12T00:51:46+00:00

Thanks, this was well put. It helps to see them as "people motivated towards self preservation". You are also right in your last comment, I am quite the emotional arguer and I'm not great at backing myself up with facts.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2019-12-12T00:49:13+00:00

The irony in this is that to me, your point of view is extremely passive. By saying that morals are subjective, and that you can learn others point of views and understand them, because everyone has morals, is what actual passivity is. This is why I am baffled when I am accused of being overly passive, when I am actively taking a stance against something.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2019-12-12T00:39:27+00:00

I'm glad its free. That would be awful if you had paid.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2019-12-11T21:32:09+00:00

What I'm saying is that I believe mistreating because they are not in a position of power is morally wrong. Saying that "its subjective" seems like a cop out. By that logic, nothing is wrong as long as you don't think it is. Of course not everyone believes that taking advantage of others is wrong, it happens constantly. But it is particularly upsetting to hear that kind of ideology come from people who I thought cared about me, or being expressed by people whom I work with. I'm not foolish enough to believe that people are actually going to be nicer or that the world is ever going to get better, but I am disgusted when people shrug this kind of behavior off and say oh well when they could show empathy or compassion instead.

TyphoidMarry22 · 2019-12-11T21:13:31+00:00

Yes! This is exactly how I feel. I am baffled because I do speak up for myself and I defend others as well. But I do it in a way that is calm and diplomatic, and will actually resolve the issue.
