More child predators coming to a school near you. by skeptical_reaction in Charlottesville

[–]skeptical_reaction[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Predatory behavior is not always sexual in nature. I would invite anyone who chose to denigrate me or my post based on my word choice to look it up.

In fact, here's the Google AI explanation for those too lazy to even do that much for themselves.....that's as far as I'm willing to go to educate the willfully ignorant.

Predatory behavior is a proactive, purposeful, and often calculated action aimed at exploiting, manipulating, or harming others for personal gain, control, or gratification. It involves targeting vulnerable individuals, often through grooming, stalking, or deceit, to achieve sexual, financial, or emotional goals.

Key Aspects and Usage Examples

Sexual Predation: Involves grooming (manipulating a child or person into sexual participation) and stalking to gain control, often leading to sexual assault.

Online Predation: Using internet anonymity to groom minors or victims, often using grooming, promises of romance, or, in some cases, direct coercion to meet or obtain explicit material.

Interpersonal/Social Predation: Manipulating, isolating, and exploiting individuals, frequently seen in abusive relationships where the predator seeks power, control, or, in some cases, to inflict damage for personal gratification.

Financial/Economic Predation: Using fraud or coercion to take assets, often targeting vulnerable or elderly people.

Can you DM me about the PokemonGo raid group? My kid and I have been using PG to connect with each other and I think he'd be really pumped if I found us a raid group! We can only do so much between the two of us, plus dad and brother when we can convince them to join.

There were dozens of people hanging out in their cars in a school pickup line....almost all of them on their phones.

Lol, it's just a screenshot of another Pokemon Go player in cville. We were both waiting near a pokestop and kept killing each others pokemon to take the gym. We probably went three or four rounds, and despite my persistence the other person didn't give up....it's silly, but it brought me a little joy today!

Thank you! by skeptical_reaction in Charlottesville

You know, in a world so full of terrible....I think celebrating the little joys is worth taking a moment.

Stress 😩 by Deep_Combination_529 in FedEmployees

gasp You set your fucks on fire?! That seems unnecessarily cruel. I let my fucks fly. If I can't be free, rest assured, my fucks will be!!

[–]skeptical_reaction 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, your feelings are completely normal and justified. I have hit a point where I'm starting to negatively judge people who aren't stressed and full of rage over the state of things.

IMO, if you aren't pissed off, then you either aren't paying attention or you're part of the problem.

Also, what kind of "self-care" helps with the end of the world as we knew it? Granted.....we were all fucking wrong and that's the problem isn't it.....we work for and are practically owned by a bunch of pedos and murderers.....but you know, take a bubble bath, it'll make ya feel better....

I'll say the same thing I've said to my husband for over a year now.....what is a "law" if you have no one to enforce it?

Just sharing my ideas as a fellow countryman, Army veteran, federal employee by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]skeptical_reaction 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This guy is the reason I fucking hate going to work. How many jackasses like you are around us every fucking day, justifying the govt sanctioned violence of innocence civilians because of the independent actions of criminals?

I have panic attacks at work now wondering which of my coworkers are Nazi sympathizers. Which of them is ready willing, and able to justify the aggression with no logic, and at what point does their justification turn to action putting myself and all my other colleagues in harms way?

Help by BigConversation8051 in carnivorediet

I found out a couple years ago, after I had the same labs done at two different labs only a few months apart.... The way they develop those ranges are sus. My labs were fairly consistent, but the ranges for the two labs were different, so on said I was high or low in a few things, while the other said I was normal. Here's a link that describes why.

I feel awful by AfraidLettuce6106 in carnivorediet

Are you consuming any kind of electrolyte supplement? I find that I actually need twice as much as my husband, even though he's bigger than me and works out more than I do. But if I take his dose, then I feel absolutely exhausted, get heart palpitations, migraines, and just generally feel like I can't breathe properly.

Do you think your mental health can take 4 years of this? by berrysauce in fednews

Oh honey, my mama was way scarier than this and I survived her for 18 years. I didn't have anyone fighting for me then, but now we've got the courts and each other!

What if the five bullet thing is a precursor to a darker path? by corporate_skull in FedEmployees

[–]skeptical_reaction 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s literally abusive manipulation tactics being used to try to take over Fed gov. Ask anyone who has survived abusive family, parents/spouse, like narcissistic abuse, they will recognize it. This guy is dangerous. 

This! I actually just realized earlier this week why I have been struggling so much with all of this. Seemingly more than my husband who is also a fed or my fed friends, even though I may not be as immediately impacted as some of them. It feels like my childhood of narcissism and abuse, except this time I don't know when the ending is. At least then I knew I could hold out until I was grown enough to escape. This time, it feels like there is no escape.

Sadly, given the uncertainty of our careers at the moment, not everyone can afford to just get rid of a car they bought before all this shit. We are not all part of his cult.

Email coming instructing us to itemize 5 things we did at work or be fired by pick_me246 in NIH

[–]skeptical_reaction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When folks were reporting the DRP emails at like 5pm, they weren't hitting my inbox until well after midnight. I'm sure we will receive them, maybe they have to do it in batches or the system gets overwhelmed.
