We'll go through @WTSmith17 's recent video being criticized by a former professor who is using covert narcissistic tactics camouflaged as concern.
You know what? I'm just gonna go to bed. Don't feel great, and why not just crawl in there with cats right now?
Good night.

I want to believe this. But I've seen companies do things like this only to turn around and shit on their employee after the crowd online demands sacrifice.
Will Red Baron hold out? I'll wait and see.

Bingo! I love it.
My lawyer asked me during my divorce: "She says you called her a cunt?"
Me: "Yeah, she was being a cunt."
If you're young, you may not understand how different everyday life was for people you know in their 50s like me.
I was the last gasp of this, but there were some of us. As a kid I didn't have color television until 11 years old when we got a cast-off set from our rich aunt.
We didn't have touch-tone dialing until that same year because it was too expensive; we stuck with rotary dialing.
Never saw a microwave in real life until I was 18.
Never had air conditioning in the home until I moved out on my own.
I still knew families that didn't have a telephone when I was a kid.
Much of the tech we take for granted today had too dear a price for a working class family when I was young.

I can't help it. My vanity/narcissistic traits just sing when someone says this.
THE FLESH IS WEAK OK
😁
Aging is a strange, suprising thing. You understand what your parents and your grandparents felt years ago that seemed so foreign.
I was in the last generation of poor Americans for whom color television was a luxury. We didn't have color until I was 11 years old.

Patrick Stewart achieved something that rarely happens in Hollywood/entertainment. He signed on to a reboot of a series that was already cemented as part of American culture.
Then he did his work in a way that made him, and the entire production, as important, or more, as the show he succeeded.
There was never any sense that ST:TNG was a "substitute" cheap version of the original. It earned its place in its own right, and elevated the source material.
He was talented and lucky, and we were lucky to get that show.
I remember the premiere of the first episode in 1987, the whole family around the color television set. We were so excited!
It became family viewing immediately. I'm thankful to have been born when I was to have what was, once, shared American culture.

Regular reminder to self that this is never the platform for calm conversations. Text-only, rapid-fire communication leads to misunderstandings immediately.
I never learn.

I think this has a lot to do with people not understanding that human nature has not changed in recorded history. There is nothing "new" under the Sun.
Where do you think "brutal" systems come from? Who is taking actions that make the system brutal?
People. Individuals. People with brutal psychologies.
Are you gonna go blank slate like the leftists and blame systems for every individual chosen action?
I'm getting pushback on my psychological speculation on Henry VIII:
"It's not fair to hold him to modern standards"
"That world was brutal though"
This is incoherent. Psychopathic behavior is psychopathic behavior whether it occurs in 2026 or 1541.
Politics today is brutal, too. We don't say it's "not fair" to call psychopathic politicians the psychopaths they are by appealing to the "brutal power system" in which they operate.
Serious personality pathology is a universal part of the human condition throughout time. It wasn't non-existent right up until the DSM coined the term "Cluster B."
Yet critics are saying exactly that between the lines. That it can't be real that Henry had a personality disorder, because those are "modern constructs."
No. They're not. The name is modern. The pathology and moral problems are not new.
I cannot grasp what people's thought processes are.

I'm 100% with Josh here.
Psychopathy is a persistent pathology of the human condition. It is rooted deep in the Tribal v-Meme as the way you generated warriors who would literally go ham on the next tribe over when they attempted to wipe you out. Women played their part with sexual promiscuity to keep genetic diversity up.
Is what it is, folks. Now we are in advanced social structures and have to deal with those dark parts of our collective psyche.

Hint: personality disordered people show up *in the Bible*. The Bible doesn't use the term "Cluster B."
Does that mean that narcissistic and morally depraved people didn't exist? Did you overlook tales of them in Scripture?
Surprised to see so much moral relativism among conservatives.
