Look in my blocked communities list. It's full of memes, sports teams, and anime/hentai....

This is how incels commonly refer to women. It could be a case for English as a second language, but it's most likely an incel creep.

Still seems a bit excessive to jump to a ban just for that word in a title tho..

Incels that probably belong in cells...

I agree with your sentiment, maybe the word I should have used was 'inspired.' The mod was definitely better than Skyrim's system imo.

The lung collapse from a piercing arrow blew my mind. The gasping and desperately grabbing at the arrow while they collapsed was so advanced.

The Skyrim animations were smoother and more polished. The Deadly Reflex mod was more gritty and badass.

Burnout Revenge's epic crash challenges.

Anybody remember the Deadly Reflex Oblivion mod that Bethesda essentially based Skyrim's combat on?

P90X for fitness, kickboxing for fun. Got a 100 pound Muay Thai heavy bag and an Aqua Bag slip bag at home.

He's as serious as the Hypnotoad is insatiable.

There are way more appropriate communities, such as !youshouldknow@lemmy.world

If you really care about your post being in the appropriate place, you should delete your post and submit there, or delete your opinion from the post body and add it as a comment here.

This community isn't for making grand stands.

It can be really hard to recognize and reprogram automatic negative thoughts... I don't know you and don't want to jump to conclusions about you from a single comment, but I thought it could be helpful to share this info.

The "What? Me Worry" evidence-based module available here for free has great education on how to engage in cognitive restructuring, which is all about evaluating the evidence for and against a belief, and altering it to make it more accurate (not more positive, but it just so happens that the more accurate beliefs tend to be more positive than the automatic negative thoughts).

This is an awesome website full of free evidence-based resources that I used in clinical interventions with my former Clients. Love to share it online. I've found a lot of the material very helpful myself.

Sounds like you've dodged a toxic work environment so far, hope it stays that way for you!

I had a very toxic, manipulative, and lying boss. Would literally gaslight people. She criticized my valid overtime to my supervisor and when my supervisor told me, I said "Can you come with me to her office right now? I'm going to confront her." My supervisor was nervous but followed me to our boss' office. This was just the last straw for me in a long series of events.

Our department's office was being remodeled and we were temporarily in a space where there were a ton of other teams from homeless and school-based departments that heard me confront her.

I probably came close to aggressive, but I mostly stayed in an assertive tone/cadence. But it was clear that I was pissed... Every time she made one of her unreasonable criticisms I called her out on it. When she said we were going to agree to disagree, I told her: "No we're not; because you are wrong."

She knew that her criticisms were unreasonable and just to abuse her limited power that sadly still went to her head. She would gaslight our team about policy/workload changes that didn't actually come from above, and increased our workload unreasonably to make her look good. She literally told a team member of mine who was suicidal (we were all struggling immensely being over-worked in the collapsing healthcare system here in the US) "It sounds like you're standing on a ledge and you need to decide to stay or leap." This is leadership in one of the largest mental health organization in the US... She also told this same team member: "You're not depressed; you're just lazy.".......

She only got worse over the years until I quit in February this year after long-covid started kicking my ass and I couldn't handle the workload/lifestyle anymore. Despite the fact that she only got worse over time, she never treated me that way to my face again.

She'd lie and talk shit about me behind my back, but she never talked down to me or anything like that to my face again. I think I scared her. She'd never had anyone confront her and call her out on her bullshit, not to mention with an office full of like 20+ people to hear her humiliation.

On the walk back to my supervisor's office to finish our monthly 'supervision' meeting, my supervisor said "I can't believe you talked to her like that. I wish I could stand up to them like that.. but I'm too afraid to lose my job."

That right there is where I argue that my actions were probably against my own best interests, but it did work out well for me. She would no longer micromanage and harass me like everyone else she oversaw. It's usually worked out for the better, but I've got a bad habit of sticking to my guns when I know I'm right and not being afraid of confrontation.

I can't think of a time in my life that directly confronting and taking on a bully hasn't had a positive outcome for me. Whether it be verbally or physically, it has always made the circumstances better for me. Don't know if it's fear or respect. Most bullies are very insecure tho.

Definitely not recommending that sort of confrontation in a work setting tho. I think I probably would have been fired in most circumstances, but I think she knew I'd do my damnedest to uncover her bullshit on my way out.

If only they had thought to forgo eating and drinking as well!

Oh and simply existing in proximity to russia...

It's okay, we know you have to tow the line or he'll throw your ass out a window.

And this right here is why this war has literally made russia a dumber nation because of the "brain drain." So many of russia's scientists and intellectuals fled when they invaded Ukraine. Looking at this and all the russian doctors/covid scientists who 'fell' to their deaths from windows, it seems putin is determined to make russia a stupid nation.

Here's the new rocket design for their space program.

Here is a free evidence-based resource for self-esteem.

I used to use this website a lot with my clients when I was a caseworker. I've found some of the resources helpful myself. Here is their resource page. Distress Intolerance is a neat one.

And even if one were correct, which one?.. There are many deities and even more interpretations of them. A lot of religions punish those who worship a false god more than those who believe in no god at all.

If I were to wager on the basis of fear of eternal damnation, my safe bet would be to refrain from choosing any god and bank on less likelihood of severe torment.

But fortunately I don't fear eternal damnation because I don't believe it exists. Non-existence doesn't sound so scary either when you consider your state of existence before you were born. You already haven't existed for billions of years. It'll be just like that.

That blows.. sounds terrible..

Not sure what your thoughts are on it/where you live, but marijuana definitely helps with nausea and building an appetite.

I know that's probably obvious and it's not for everyone. But it really helps my nausea I get from cervicogenic migraines and cluster headaches. My brother said it helps his ulcer symptoms a lot as well.

It's a lot of incoherent misrepresenting of facts and tangential connections that seem really indicative of disorganized speech/thinking.

At least from the bit I skimmed..
