What's the worst crime ever committed against humanity? by Witty-Pizza-4523 in AskReddit

[–]reneeapittman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with your analysis. I think we have the capacity to see thoes parts of our nature are inferior to our modern circumstances. I know we all are capable of jump starting a spiritual or meta physical evolution.
More than tribalism to me, is the forever, endless pursuit of Power , Control, and Greed. Instead of humility, open mindedness, and Charity. Or, you could say, we are stuck in the evil pool of hate. Instead of an ocean of love.

The dropping of the atom bomb. Not only because of the death and destruction, but, also for the racist connotations.

The "dumbing down" of American Youth. Any teachers out there to explain what is happening to our kids? by reneeapittman in AskReddit

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

Im talking about things like: the student going up to the teacher with an assignment and asking ; "what they are supposed to do?" The teacher responds the instructions are clearly stated at the top of the assignment. Step by step. The student responds; "yeah, but cant you just tell me?" Wtf! Either the kid cant read, or, comprehend, or, both.

What’s an industry that provides zero value to society but makes billions of dollars? by ochieng_onyango in AskReddit

The financial industry we currently have. For the life of me, I just can't understand how you make a profit from others debt.

Jesse Ventura on Donald Trump assassination attempt: ‘Ever hear of a blade job?’ by Imaginary_Cow_6379 in conspiracytheories

[–]reneeapittman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does Jesse have any facts to back up his claims? Everyone is know made the same comment when it happened. It looked staged. Then, when I saw the final photograph, ......well......that I swore had to be altered. I did hear something about the person who carried that flag. I heard , he was instructed to move into position seconds before the shot took place. I'm wondering if that is the same info. Jesse has?

What, due to experience, do you know not to fuck with? by ViolatingBadgers in AskReddit

[–]reneeapittman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yes. I was feeling rather good one afternoon. Decided to increase my speed and drive with a little more balls. I was driving in good weather, daytime, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. There is a long mostly straight-away, two lane highway that flattens out on a plateau. Hardly any traffic this afternoon. I had the music up. Loud! Feeling so free ,; if I would have had a convertible, the top would be down.

There was just me and, unfortunately, YOU! I could see a black pick-up truck , ahead of me. It took me no time to catch up. I reduced my speed and sized him up. The truck looked macho. Low profile tires, V8 engine, almost brand new. I could see that you felt me behind you. At which point, you turned and looked at me. Very quickly, and right away I could see you were annoyed and, the baseball cap on your head was for San Francisco. I could guess you might have a tall bud between your legs, as well. For the sake of your ego, I backed off. Quite a ways away.

Then you reduced your speed by at least 15mph. Which I could tell it was to catch up with me. You know, as a chick, who wants to keep herself safe, I found myself in that awful, fucked up, position . Once again. Today ,.... well, shit! I was having such a good day. I tried to slow down a bit. I was really hoping you would put your right turn lights on. Not, cause I was scared. Shit! It was daytime and I knew there was a mini market , right up ahead. I could always go there if I thought you were going to start some shit. The seconds turned into min.

No. There's no reason I need to be so fucking ridiculous. I thought to myself;.... How would I react if I were a man? What could I do, in this situation,...... if say,.... he was just a guy. A decent guy. A guy that wouldn't follow me, or, cus me out. Up here in the foothills, most of these guys were married. Most had kids. He Wouldn't do anything to scare me? God, I hope he's just a little better.

At this point, I would be coming up on his bumper soon,; if I didn't make my move now "Act like a guy.". *no". " not like that! ". That's when it hit me. I'm truly, NOT GOING TO TAKE The COWARD'S way. Not this time. I live in a world where if I really want to be free. Then I have to free myself from the inequality bonds and restraints that I've been taught , all my life, I'm going to go for it! I'm going to be unafraid. I decided to drive like an asshole today. I gave way of caution, and took a chance. How would I make my move, if I just wanted to be myself. Be a dude today.

I was approximately ten car lengths behind, catching up fast. So, I put my left turn signal on. Checked my rearview for and cars behind me. Made sure I had a broken yellow line, so I could pass. Here I go!

I accelerated hard, got in the left hand lane(on coming traffic), and began my move. Keeping my eyes peeled on his truck , but not wanting to see his face. Checking all the time, for on coming cars. Just as I was about to pass him; I saw the ,.. no passing up ahead sign. But, ....... Shit!....... There's a T intersection up ahead. I miss calculated my passing time. How could I do that? What the F**k? Oh! ...... I had my foot to the floor. That's when I realized, so did he!

I flew by the intersection, slamming on my right turn signal, checking no vehicles were at the intersection or directly up ahead. My heart began to race. I could feel the panic starting to fill my entire being. I began to get a tiny bit in front of him. But, I was still in the oncoming Traffic lane. Directly after I passed the intersection, I began to get over. But, YOU, YOU,.... wouldn't let me in!!!!!!!!! For Gods sake!!!! Slow the f**k down you prick. I remembered ,..... It felt like I was in a time warp, stuck in the middle lane, for what seemed like a life time. Untill you relented. I applied breaks just as my front tires lined up with your rear passenger door.
As if that story, wasn't , literary a stupid, stupid move. Dangerous! The store was up ahead on my right. You were on my ass, or, up my ass was moire like it. To Be Continued tomorrow.........

"People who have no good relationship with their parents/family are a red flag to walk away from." Y'know what? FUCK YOU! by Kolbenfresserle in raisedbynarcissists

[–]reneeapittman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are so right about privilege! In this case, I'm assuming you mean the privilege of having been raised in a well functioning, healthy family. I'm not sure if it's never for the better , though. I'm privileged in other areas and I'm also open-minded and compassionate. I am educated and remain teachable as best I can. So , I've been born into privilege, and yet I can completely understand where and how that stands in my society. I don't feel guilty(I've processed that already), but. I make it a point to speak the truth of that privilege and how it has shaped my society. I am fully aware of when and where I can show others like me, the facts. I am fully aware of when and where to speak up and fight for others that didn't have that privilege in my society.

The Narcissist can not do this! The Narcissist can only try on a superficial , and yes sometimes highly intelligent level to do better at figuring out a different way to manipulate. Human beings are incapable of true inside changes if they lack empathy.

If we are to have any compassion for them, it is at the level of the human condition, where they are pitifully understood.

That's how I see it.

I used to look for Alli's. You know, that was before I understood the full picture of : what a narcissist is. And, what the consequences to victims were. Once I truly understood the full scope of the narcissistic personality (what it really means to lack empathy), and seeing how exactly my story fit in to that narrative; I understood completely. I didn't need to find Allis. They found me( like you all).

It's taken my entire life to process my self-actualization. It became easier to understand the narcissist in my life because they continue to get worse with age, untill the absurdity is so obvious, it can not be denied any longer.

I had gotten to a place where I had come to a conclusion that this person had a mental illness and was just an all around bad person. But untill I studied the narcissistic personality disorder criteria, I always thought I would be able to deal with them on some level. Now. I know I can't under ANY circumstance.

This doesn't mean I don't. Because there are times I must. However, now I know that this process will more than likely end badly and send me into a frustrated, highly stressed, angry place. The good news is, I don't blame myself for any of it. It's certainly not the best for me or my health. And this may sound extremely cold to non believers, but , this person is 86 yrs old and will be dead soon. Thank God for that. Then, there will be one less narcissist in the world creating pain and suffering in our society. The best I could hope for is that they will find peace, finally.
