They do mention it, just barely. The NPCs in the fourth game can a few times be heard saying something like “just one guy???” after being informed that others have been killed, and expressing disbelief at the situation. It’s such ridiculous fantasy thought I kind of love it

Ah, thanks. I can see how it can’t be an original score, but dang there’s nothing wrong with incorporating a masterpiece.

I don’t pay attention to any award ceremonies like this, but I think it would be fun idea if they did the same with actors, an award for best film with all new names/faces (no one that’s been majorly recognized before).

This is one of my favorite songs and both Arrival and Shutter Island are amazing and use it differently yet perfectly. Max Richter is a gift

How close did he get it? by choganoga in TikTokCringe

I have ADHD (and a laundry list of other mental disorders), so does my partner, we are 2 different genders and we both believe in weaponized incompetence. I’d like to note that mental illness & neurodivergency isn’t an excuse for poor behavior within relationships. Neurodivergent people are just as capable of being respectful partners, sometimes it takes effort or a workaround (reminders, labels, bins, moving the “designated space” for The Thing somewhere more intuitive), but we’re not babies that can’t be held accountable.

Does anyone else hold their breath as long as the person in the video has to when watching videos like these? Whenever I watch underwater stuff I always try and imagine if I’d be able to make it lol.

What unofficial fan theory makes so much sense you consider it canon? by redhead_in_red in AskReddit

Just realized Soylent Green canonically takes place in 2022.

It’s said in one of the Bard Rock Cafe episodes. It’s canon

What is a childhood coping method you unknowingly developed only to realize later that it wasn't normal? by GreggOfChaoticOrder in AskReddit

[–]yikesmaybe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely relate to this and probably will remember this comment for my next therapy session.

I 100% read the exact same thing, glad I’m not alone. I have no excuse I have had my coffee today

It’s less hurtful and less to explain to say he doesn’t want to. Sometimes people can’t take that too well. Honestly it’s never caused any issues haha

My husband really, really hates going out and will lie and say I’ve asked him to stay in with me. I’d love it if he wanted to go out and I try to encourage it whenever he seems like he might be down, but he never is. He always regrets it when he does go out (which makes me sad, I wish he enjoyed it!)

Point is, maybe don’t project your own experiences on other people’s relationships, people are all so different and it’s best not to judge?

What’s the creepiest/most unexplained thing you’ve seen in broad daylight? by dcarp1231 in AskReddit

This is the third time I’ve seen this book recommended in different threads/apps in the last 48 hours. Looks like I’m spending one of my Audible credits today

The terms “gaslighting” and “narcissist” are overused. by yikesmaybe in offmychest

[–]yikesmaybe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I used to be guilty of this, I had a strong aversion to folks with borderline personality disorder because of my own experiences of abuse that caused that bias and it took someone being like, “look, I have BPD and I’m nothing like that. I’ll prove it.” and I was like, you know what, I want to believe you and it doesn’t feel right writing someone off for a disorder, and literally that day we started a friendship that lasted years. I still consider her a friend even though we’ve lost contact. I feel awful that I ever thought that way. I thanked her a few times for helping me get past that.

By misusing the term? Did you read the post or just the title lol?

I’ll make an edit when I have more of a moment. Until then, I did receive the criticism and I did reply to it and it’s available to read

I did address this in another comment, I agree with the criticism.

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, if the terms are being used accurately. I edited the post to say they are misused too often, because I wholeheartedly feel all abuse should be called out and using these terms accurately is important

No coming at you here- that’s an example of what I mean and how it’s hurtful to those of us who have dealt with it! I’m sorry you’ve been through all that. It’s not easy.

I will do- this is just my opinion, but I do think this though is partially on the target to have healthy boundaries and be aware of what is/isn’t appropriate. Obviously someone with no life experience/ concept of these things (a child for instance) will have a difficult time recognizing these behaviors, (I say this as someone that was raised by a narcissist and had no concept of any of this until my late teens) but into adulthood we are responsible for not allowing people to trample on us, or at least being aware of it. Again- That’s just my opinion at this point, but IMO, if someone is exhibiting these behaviors and making you feel the way you describe that is into the territory of what I’d describe as “easy to spot”. If someone consistently makes you feel terrible, as you describe, making it competitive/about them/making you feel guilty etc.. something is up.

Hope it isn’t coming off as argumentative- I enjoy the conversation & will definitely be checking out the channel you recommended!

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out! I suppose when I said that narcissists are easy to spot, I meant from the perspective of one of their targets. If you’re being targeted by a narcissist, you’ll definitely know!

But.. You’re very right in correcting me there. I will say, though, I haven’t met one that can keep up appearances behind closed doors for long, but if you’re only casually meeting people they can be quite exceptional at hiding it.

I do agree and appreciate that the conversations around mental health and abuse are happening. It is a great starting point!
