The sound is often so fucked up. Music, explosions, guns, cars etc are so fucking loud, but conversations are very dim, as if people are almost whispering. It's often very hard to hear what people are saying, especially when eating crisps.

I always use English subs, even when watching stuff in my own language (Dutch)

I'm thinking of a Luigi Dexter Hannibal hybrid

Hey, that's just name calling. It's better to describe them by what they actually are: narcissistic, egocentric, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, narrow minded haters.

The only toxic empathy I can think of is Stockholm syndrome.

I got hacked. My browser got copied with all stored passwords. Which were almost all the same, for about 20 years. And my payment info. Purchases were made, accounts were used to spread malware through purchased ads. Accounts were banned. In the end I managed to get most of my money back, I ended up with a loss of only 30 euros.

I never store passwords in my browser anymore, I never click "remember me" or "stay logged in", I use 2FA when possible and I use a password manager with randomly generated long passwords.

Not just Canada. It's almost the entire world. Many Asian countries rely on Alipay, the rest of the world is under the control of US payment systems. Even in European countries the UK based Maistro has been replaced for Visa or Mastercard.

Someone doesn't know the concept of barefoot shoes.

I'm having relationship issues. My partner had ADHD and can't stick to appointments. I have autism and can't handle appointment changes. Every time I clear my schedule for her, then to be disappointed as she changes her schedule around. And every time we have limited time when I see her as she lives in a different country, so I need to clear my schedule as she's staying over at my place. She can't understand why it's such a big issue for me, while I understand her struggles. But she fails to meet me in the middle, so she hurts me and me making a point of it hurts her as it truly is an ADHD issue she struggles with while for me it's an autism issue.

Well at least I recognize a Russian troll when I see one.

What I do is not believing everything I see on the internet. Whenever there's an article, it can only be confirmed when there are multiple factual sources. RT is far from factual and pushes a very strong narrative. Like the Russian government. Also like Fox News, and US government. Russian independant news sources can be pretty good, but government controlled sources tend to be awful. Especially when it's about the unprovoked invasions into neighboring countries. Like Georgia and Ukraine. And the years long war which consists of insane amounts of factually confirmed horrific war crimes. Like chemical weapons for example. But hey, if you think the Russian government, which is run by an oligarch dictator, is more credible than independant news sources, they you do you!

"no one is above the law" it says... While Trump is literally acting like he's above the law and the supreme court allows it.

Why would I laugh about Russian bots spreading nazi propaganda. Also, what Ukrainian collapse? Right now the chances of Russia having a complete collapse is bigger than Ukraine.

Forced to watch an execution of serval hostages while I couldn't do anything. Worst part was that we left to prevent them from killing more.

I don't want to talk about it more, I've had therapy so it's not as heavy as it used to be, but it's still like walking o the edge of a cliff dealing with it. Not much is needed to fall down.

I'm a military OSINT analyst, I know how to do source analysis. Russia Today is one of the worst propaganda sources out there.

Hey Russia, your army is mass deserting. They are treated better as POW's than by their own government.

True. I like your name by the way :)

Hahaha same here, I cannot leave the house when my cats are still outside. I taught them to come when I whistle, that really helps. Every time when I feed them or give them a treat, I whistle before I give it to them. After they get used to it, I give them something 75% of the time.

It's complete bullshit, some facts are portrayed completely out of proportion and it has a clear propaganda bias.

Russian propaganda is world news now? Wtf dude

I have one living in my tiny back garden! It's a big fat-ass haha! I made a place to live in with bricks and covered it with pruning waste and I have a bowl I fill with water. I saw it walking back and forth collecting leafs so I know it's still living there :) Also I don't have any snails anymore, which used to ruin all my plants. Thanks buddy!

It ruined my whole life. I never finished school, was only allowed to do unsatisfying simple work as I lacked any diplomas and I always felt misunderstood. I ended up joining the navy (totally not for me, as I found out I'm an anarchist and do not belong there) as I didn't have work during a financial crisis. I was never understood or accepted as I did officer's work which created hate among the other sailors and NCO's, but at the same time I was still a low life sailor (and later NCO) to the officers I worked with so was never treated with respect. I never liked it, but change is hard so I stayed there for 15 years. Now I cannot work anymore due to PTSD from deployment so it scarred me for life.

At least I got recognition after being diagnosed 5 years ago and now I'm getting somewhat of support, but it's kinda too late as I'm damaged for life and am mentally incapable of going back to school to start over. The combination of autism, ADHD, depression and PTSD is something no one dares to treat so every form of mental help failed and gave up on me.

But at least I have 3 cats.

I have a steady income thanks to a military disabled pension due to my PTSD military discharge so I can support myself and my hobbies. But I lack any form of intellectual challenge and daily routine so I can't say I'm happy. Every day is a struggle and even though I have loads I can do hobby wise, I feel insanely bored and depressed and fail to do anything most days.

My parents still don't accept it, neither does the rest of my family. They say they do, but at the same time they tell me not to be lazy and stop hiding behind the diagnose, just to man up and be normal for a change. To finally stop being a rebellious teenager in it's puberty and start to act like an adult (I'm 38). The conflict escalated many times, now to a point that I blocked all contact with them as I see their behavior as mental abuse (up to a traumatic level). So my entire family is dead to me.

But at least I have friends who accept me for who I am, who I love and who love me. I know many can't say that so I count myself rich and fortunate in that matter.

Because I got diagnosed, I can have some peace with myself. I can accept who and what I am. But I cannot have peace with the situation I'm in (although I know it could be a lot worse).
