Plan to Attract Free Agents
- Thread starter northeast
- Start date
I'm with you. I have to reread everything twice.
Edit: As a result I lost interest talking to him. I'd rather be working.
I recently read an article that gave this analogy: being a straight, cis, white male is like playing a video game on "Easy" mode. You don't automatically win, but you get hundreds of small advantages you don't really notice. Some people playing the game on harder difficulty levels will still do better than you. Life is easier when you are white, at least in the USA. However, "easier" may not mean "easy" to all people.
None of the examples in your OP (preferential treatment by cops, judges, potential employers, increasing home values, stock options, etc.) have anything to do with the census or any type of administrative classification. Therefore, you are wrong, and I am not.
Thank you for playing.
I hate when I get that bored at work too.

I don't have a clue as to what the actual argument is, or what northeasts original post originally meant, but I do know this. I side with Stoked.

My plan is free ho's. Free ho's for everyone.
It seems like being a multi-millionaire pro athlete opens a few doors as well. Doors that aren't open to me no matter how straight and white I am.

Hotchkiss' seven deadly sins of narcissism
1.Shamelessness: Shame is the feeling that lurks beneath all unhealthy narcissism, and the inability to process shame in healthy ways.
2.Magical thinking: Narcissists see themselves as perfect, using distortion and illusion known as magical thinking. They also use projection to dump shame onto others.
3.Arrogance: A narcissist who is feeling deflated may reinflate by diminishing, debasing, or degrading somebody else.
4.Envy: A narcissist may secure a sense of superiority in the face of another person's ability by using contempt to minimize the other person.
5.Entitlement: Narcissists hold unreasonable expectations of particularly favorable treatment and automatic compliance because they consider themselves special. Failure to comply is considered an attack on their superiority, and the perpetrator is considered an "awkward" or "difficult" person. Defiance of their will is a narcissistic injury that can trigger narcissistic rage.
6.Exploitation: Can take many forms but always involves the exploitation of others without regard for their feelings or interests. Often the other is in a subservient position where resistance would be difficult or even impossible. Sometimes the subservience is not so much real as assumed.
7.Bad boundaries: Narcissists do not recognize that they have boundaries and that others are separate and are not extensions of themselves. Others either exist to meet their needs or may as well not exist at all. Those who provide narcissistic supply to the narcissist are treated as if they are part of the narcissist and are expected to live up to those expectations. In the mind of a narcissist there is no boundary between self and other.
Oooo...ooooo thats you!
Interesting, that applies to others here more than me.
I am not part of a group going after individuals.
You said you wanted us to ignore each other, Verlin, and yet you keep coming after me.
You do not seem at all honorable in your actions, because the rules you want to apply to me you do not want to apply to others or yourself. .

I never said I want to ignore you. I said I wanted to be on your not so exclusive list. I have no honor, this is true. Keep doing your thing.
