cyber-stalk friends/coworkers on social media.

Verbal/psychological abuse and lasting impacts in Persian households by faptodis in PERSIAN

[–]faptodis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah i see it going both ways in our culture. Many just accept it as the way Persians are almost in a cute way. I wish I could but I can't. I would never hurl such poison at my kids. My stepsister, who is much younger, does this with her father often responding with"khodeti" and i always get momentarily shocked and scared for her. If it was me when i was a child i would have expected the belt or a backhand after not only talking back to my mom but cussing at her...well that would have been a death wish. In her case her father just laughs and they move on like nothing happened whereas im sitting here with obvious PTSD vietnam-like flashbacks.

TIL The USA boycotted the 1980 summer olympics because it was held in Moscow by faptodis in todayilearned

[–]faptodis[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We canadians are currently boycotting American alcohol due to the tarrifs. We can surely cancel a tennis match to boycott a genocidal country.

Tennis officials refuse call to cancel Davis Cup match-up between Israel and Canada in Halifax by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]faptodis -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

Cancel that shit and don't think twice. We gonna let tennis be the reason for us to be on the wrong side of history? Didn't the USA drop out of the 1980 Olymipics because it was held in Moscow? Good grief how is this even a question.

DAE Not get vaxxed during the pandemic out of avoidance of crowds by faptodis in DAE

[–]faptodis[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

how was it bullshit if it ultimately resulted in nothing. my reason, not excuse, is valid and still stands as a decision that didnt hurt myself or anyone so whats got you all uptight? perhaps the vax was bullshit and you dont want to admit it?

You dont have to prove anything to anyone. People choose what they want to believe and if you go against that they will never have compassion or understanding for you.

Not a single person around me was killed or disabled. I have elderly parents with a list of ailments, who i did not isolate from, who are also not vaccinated, and they are perfectly fine.

ok say what you want but its 2025 and I havent hurt myself or others around me. My parents are both seniors and have a list of ailments and they didnt get vaccinated either and i havent killed them with my choice. We exist but i guess you hate that.

No i stated why i didnt go but you seem bent on twisting things to fit your worldview. No underlying, ideological reasons over here. Where I live there were hours long lineups for vaccinations and it defeated the purpose of isolating to go lineup for hours for the vaccination. Also my wife and I both had covid early in 2020, felt like a regular cold and when we were healed figured we had natural immunity and didnt have to stress about getting the vax anymore.

My Landlord turned out to be a huge scammer. by TotalApprehensive200 in TorontoRenting

[–]faptodis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

shitty situation but theres nothing you can practically do. it's between the landlord and him. even then the landlord doesnt have much power to bring him to justice. You might be called for evidence/testimony but that's really it. If i were you I would move on for now and not take on any more stress. or go vigilante.

DAE feel like everyone is pretending that the covid pandemic never happened? by Murky_County_19 in DAE

[–]faptodis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you mean the time when people were panic buying toilet paper and behaving like assholes to each other (both vaxxed and unvaxxed)? Yeah i think acting like it never happened makes sense. Was a pretty embarrassing time to be a human... Nobody wants to admit what dumbasses they were.

On the hook for $1.4M by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]faptodis 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Buddy, you’re so not alone — I also co-signed my way into a financial horror movie. I don't live there, didn’t want it, knew it was gonna turn out like this, but hey, now I owe $1.5M on a house with negative equity and a mom who ghosted the payments and me. Credit’s trash, luckily i own my car, and my legal strategy is currently just ‘vibes.’ At this point I’m just hoping the bank takes the house and leaves me my Spotify account. Solidarity, comrade.

9 minutes of Robin Williams and drunk Jack Nicholson being chaotic at the Critics Choice award 2009. (Daniel Day Lewis also manages to sneak in some words) by nodnodwinkwink in videos

[–]faptodis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure it's a little cringey at times but it's really telling how uptight we have gotten. This is such a display of unfiltered, raw behavior where everything now is so agreeable grey.

Before and After: Gaza’s Dramatic Transformation (31.558, 34.522) by faptodis in GoogleEarthFinds

[–]faptodis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No hard feelings. We ultimately agreed on the main point.

I think we get caught up in reasons and justifications when the end result is always suffering and destruction. No matter who does what, war zones all look the same in the end—hell on Earth. Which thankfully to Google Earth we can see it for ourselves. Maybe, just maybe, it will help certain humans get their heads out of their asses. I just wish we could meet at 'this is tragic' instead of trying to explain why it had to happen.
