@MisbaaChuhal @DisaffectedPod Have a little laugh at your expense and reflect on how accurate my coroner friend was when he said cluster B's have approximately 5 manipulation tactics that they just cycle through.

@LizzieMarbach You're not hot enough to successfully gaslight people. I'm sorry that the people in your life failed you to such a degree that your think any of this is acceptable.

I’m not saying this to attack men, btw. I’m just speaking objectively here.

I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games.
Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do.
It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼♀️
English
@LizzieMarbach So you don't even know what the words "objective" and "subjective" mean. That makes sense. You people tend to confuse your internal psychodrama for Reality.

I can't believe the person who sells book-length wikipedia summaries for people who refuse to read primary sources turned out to be a suboptimal advocate for *insert topic here*. If only there were some way to avoid these charlatans!

@observer2952 @JillFilipovic Pay attention to your children you mindraped consumerist husk.

@NikkiArcane @JillFilipovic Then stop abusing children you monster.

Parenting is hard etc but I’m sorry if you’re allowing your toddler 2-3 hours of screen time per day you actually are failing them and you’re failing as a parent. This past week I saw at least a dozen toddlers running around with devices, some with phones clipped to their strollers(!). Your toddler has only been in the world for a short time. It’s still very interesting to them if you let them look up at it.

Brain scans are revealing early dementia-like changes in kids and teens from heavy screen use. 60 Minutes Australia reported toddlers spending just 2–3 hours daily on devices already show abnormal white matter development. Teens averaging 6–8 hours display widened brain ridges and thinning in key areas — patterns that mirror early Alzheimer’s. Excessive screens appear to weaken neural pathways that normally strengthen through real-world movement, play, and face-to-face interaction. We’re also seeing the first IQ drops in recorded history, plus a nearly 400% rise in early-onset dementia signs among 35–44 year olds. Correlation, not proven causation — but devices are the major new variable. This is one of those reports that makes you rethink default habits. The convenience of screens is undeniable, but the potential long-term brain impacts on developing kids are hard to ignore. We may be unintentionally running a massive experiment on the next generation’s cognitive health. Are we underestimating the risks of heavy screen time, or is this concern overblown?

@observer2952 @JillFilipovic Okay? Call her a bitch again? She is _accurately_ judging you. I'd rather be a judgmental bitch than a child abuser.
English
@JillFilipovic I just know that you are a judgmental bitch.
And I did raise a toddler and a young man as a single father whose ex-wife was a diagnosed schitzo.
During the 90s/early2000s.
So I know what I am talking about and it is clear that you do not.
You are dismissed; you may go now.

The Graduate and The Cable Guy are both much darker than their cultural references in other media. TCM isn't a gore film despite the fact that people who haven't seen it insist that it is.

are there other pieces of media with as wide a gap between its assumed vibe and its actual vibe as “Saturday Night Fever”?

She just learned about this thing, so it's definitely connected to whatever was going on when she learned about it! Because her internal psychodrama is objective reality, you see. This is very rational!
English
Black narcissism is so fascinating. Too stupid to realize that this is a decades old debate, too stupid to realize that she's telling on herself, entirely uninterested in anything but projection.

@Mi_Astronauta You’re not answering the question. Ask yourself when this became an issue and why? ::stares in 2020 presidential election and how a certain President can’t get over the fact he lost the election so he pressured his party to create a false narrative that elections weren’t safe::
English
@GPalmerMA @jemelehill Thank God that these narcissists are too stupid to hide how stupid they are. Pride before the fall etc etc

@jemelehill @Mi_Astronauta The fact you think it was only an issue starting in 2020 means your head is in the sand lol

Blanche: "There's a lot of things we can be doing, like voter ID. Every time you walk into a restaurant you have to show ID. How about you have to show your idea to vote? That's not anything that's crazy."

@jemelehill Translation: Jemele is a narcissist who only started paying attention in the past few years. She has no idea that this goes back decades. But her internal psychodrama is objective reality, so YOU are in the wrong for not making the same post hoc fallacy she is.

@cowboy_postbop I went into The Cable Guy expecting a wacky Jim Carrey comedy, not a prophecy-accurate prediction of what most of our culture would become.

@RizomaSchool "I know, I'll introduce a bunch of Orwellian postmodernist jargon to a defenseless child who is just trying to learn basic motor skills and doesn't have the cognitive bandwidth to deal with any of this. But hey, I get to feel trendy!"

Im so confused by gentle parenting because their solution to never telling the kid they have to do something is physically grabbing and forcing them to do it while using neologisms like "help your body" ???

@BitterTonic @Lis_Smith @AmyElli0ttDunne When they suffer a narcissistic injury they tend to chimp out wildly.

@Lis_Smith @AmyElli0ttDunne that was a leap

“Parenting is hard etc” from someone who doesn’t have to do it is a wild way to start a sermon.
Parenting is hard, period. Screen time is often a last resort for families.
The last thing moms need is judgmental commentary from the childless peanut gallery.

@JasonJustSaid @Lis_Smith I'm trying to understand the level of hubris and narcissism you have to be on to think that you know better that evolution by natural selection. Just remarkable stuff. "I don't like feeling shame so I'm going to deny its evolutionary basis!"
English
@Lis_Smith Shame is not good.
But screens are terrible. Screens are melting our brains. In real time.
I tend to think that the brain melting is worse than the shame.

"hey, maybe this isn't good for kids.."
*most defensive child abuser in history voice* "How dare you! I guess you just want to kill everyone!?"
