Hey look it's pseudoscience. Also your username appropriates Austronesian culture disrespectfully. Makes sense. Bigots in one area tend to be problematic in other ways.

Well sure. The word can also be an ableist slur for people with NPD. That's the most common way it's used these days.

Narcissus was cursed to fall in love with his reflection by a god. It's not actually one of his character traits, it's just how he died. The story is one of Greeks mistaking asexuality for egotism. If someone uses the cultural reference, I'm going to assume they've mistaken asexuality for egotism and they're probably a pedo.

The word is based on a Greek guy, Narcissus, who rejected all sexual and romantic advances. One of the suitors he spurned prayed to Nemesis that he should love what he cannot have. So Nemesis made him fall in love with his reflection and starve to death. It's a story about how hostile Greek culture was to asexuality. Nemesis is the god of divine punishment for hubris. The Greeks didn't understand asexuality, and thought it meant that the person in question thought they were above all other mortals. This is where the association with big ego comes from. It's from Greeks misunderstanding asexuality as hubris.

Also Narcissus was 16. Anyone who thinks he was the bad guy in that story is a pedo. And anyone who uses "n*rcissist" as an insult is sus

Good point. I'll still fault the cartoon for not having good pictures of their character online. A smart TV producer makes it easy for people to meme their show.

It's spelled Xitter and pronounced Shitter

Narcissist means either disabled neurodivergent, or asexual. Trump is neither of these things, he's a privileged fascist asshole and he's weird.

No way, I just read the wiki entry on enchanting. This shit OP, I'm definitely going to be using it.

I'm not defending Elon. I think he's a hetero neurotypical privileged asshole. It's you people who want to make up a narrative that he's a vulnerable minority.

It's a tracking code Google puts in your links. When someone clicks a link with your SI, Google knows you've been talking to that person.

Thank you. Will using an NPC to enchant items increase my enchanting skill like in Skyrim?

Batman works with individuals within the police he trusts, like Gordon, whether they're at the top of the organisation or the bottom. He doesn't trust 90% of cops, because he knows about ACAB. Keep in mind that DC Comics is a world where billionaires can be good people, so we've already got a fair amount of fantasy in the works. There are also unreasonably upstanding police, though just as rare.

John Wick 4 has three protagonists, a fight between two teams of actual Japanese ninjas, a vehicular melee around the Arc de Triomphe set to Gesaffelstein, and a pistols at dawn duel.

The Green is a collective consciousness, not an individual consciousness. If I kill a single neuron in your brain, do you feel pain? No. The individual plants don't have their own feelings. The Green is a big picture phenomenon, but Ivy is incapable of big picture thinking. She sees a human trimming a hedge and she goes apeshit. The problem is that Ivy's powers project a consciousness onto plants. She gives them the gift of sentience. In other words, she's the one making the plants suffer, and she can't see that.

Non-clinical narcissism is asexuality, and Elon isn't asexual.

If you're smart enough to consider that this would destroy the ring, then you can't do it. It's intentionally destroying the ring.

How do I enchant items?

Elrond can't drop Isildur into the fire because Isildur has the ring and nobody can intentionally destroy the ring.

Gollum was only able to destroy the ring because he's fucking stupid.

Then all his worshippers will wear a crotch bandage in solidarity

Elon Musk doesn't have NPD. And accusing people of being disabled is not an epic burn. It's only an insult if you think disabled people are worth less than neurotypicals. Sensible people don't hate the disabled, so calling him a n*rcissist isn't an insult.

Calling him neurotypical is a bigger insult. Because it implies that all of his weirdness is a choice.
