The Entitled don't need an excuse for their bad behavior, the rest of us are lesser beings, only tolerated because they need us to serve them...

i've checked out the nsfw funny pic posts forever...lately they're getting pretty toxic, most of it seems to be bashing women, and it seems to be the same 3 or 4 people posting all of it...

(whispers guiltily) in the 70s I destroyed more than one brand-new box of Frosted Flakes. Bong hits were involved.

6 behaviours that can encourage the development of narcissistic traits:
It sounds to me that the hustle culture of the 1990's and later is creating narcissistic shits.

Experts Tell Parents to Break Away From 'Hustle Culture' to Improve Family Relationships
It is advisable for working parents who want to succeed in their professional life and have the mindset of achieving everything they set their goal to slow down or break away from this "hustle culture" to improve their family relationships.
According to the experts, hustle culture could be rewarding for some goal-oriented parents, especially in America, where hard work is a measure for success. But this is also a sure path to a quick physical, mental or emotional exhaustion. Dr. Nicole Cammack of Black Mental Wellness said the constant state of busyness could lead to more mistakes at work, loss of interest in the job, feelings of anxiety and depression, as well as lack of empathy and care for others, which could impact the way families relate to their spouses or kids.
The US society seems to be on the wrong path. Just putting it out there that overwork is common, not just corporate jobs but blue collar ones too. It affects how kids are raised. Pre-Covid culture in the US was pretty much nonstop for most people. I was caught on that hamster wheel and had to quit to get my life back on track. 50% travel on one job caused a real strain in my family. Ironically, I justified that work because I was trying to "provide for my family" and that job created a real mess that took some time to sort out after I stepped off the wheel.
- They use shame-based parenting. ...
- They shower their child with adoration. ...
- They don't coach their child on empathy. ...
- Their love is conditional. ...
- They are emotionally unavailable–and compensate with material things. ...
- They are bad role models.

Hustle culture glorifies working harder so parents can achieve more success in their professional life, but there are major fallouts to "being busy."

Goddamn, man. You are just trying to do your effing job and you get that kind of blowback? You are taking it like a pro but there is plenty of information out there that shows being subjected to trauma, and those kinds of posts you describe sound pretty traumatic, they add up and can affect you in ways that aren't healthy. Maybe a filter is needed to protect you? Something is needed. You are an employee and that shit should cross the line beyond what's expected in terms of employment.
And you are seeing it in advertisers.
What happens there is a refection of the character of the business owner.This is worse than I thought it was.

They're not.
Unfortunately you are in the public eye and that's what they do to public people. Threats to Mod are against TOS and ban material.

You can have that shit in milk for an hour and it's still crunchy.
Serial Killer is not the same as a Mass Shooter.
Serial Killers are all colors. Serial Killers can be women..remember Aileen Wuornos?

I think you meant to say, Why are most serial killers white men? The vast majority of us are not violent in the least.
I think too many of us are brought up in households that push antiquated religious propaganda down our throats from an early age messing with our minds. Luckily my parents left choosing a religion up to us when we got older so weren't brainwashed in that manner.
I'm amazed in this day and age people are as screwed up as we ever were and violence is still such a big thing with so many. When will the age of enlightenment finally be here so all humans can have the safety and security we all deserve.
I mean look at all the wars still going on all over the planet. Frankly its sickening and very depressing at times.
Some day.

Pretty much the same here. My boys won't want mine but none of mine belonged to a family member so have no real sentimental value. I don't need longer range than the .303 and I've hit targets out past 300yds so I'm sure it's more than adequate for any hunting I might do in future. It just has a flip-up rear sight stamped 300 and 600 which I take to be yards as Britain wasn't doing metric in 1942. #1 son gets all my fishing tackle when I go and there is lots of my dad's and his dads stuff in there I should label so he knows what's what. He'll love the fly rod as I have all my life and take great joy in catching a nice trout in his great grandfather's name.I’ve got both and 303 is fine for shorter range hunting deer. The 270 will reach out and touch things. My days of buying guns is passed and now I’m wondering what to do with all of them. It’s time to liquidate I guess, kids don’t want them. Sad as some were my grandfathers and dads
I think about the only gun I would like to get is a double barrelled shotgun. I had a Wingmaster 12G pump but had cut the barrel off and reduced the stock to a pistol grip. I called it "The Toy" and had it stashed at the family cabin for years but a rebuild was going to happen so went there on my 50th b-day and brought it home. Got pulled over by a cop for speeding on the way back who asked to search the car but I refused and he let it go. Never even gave me a ticket either. As soon as he left I had to change my skivvies tho.
Maybe what you have has some value to collectors and you could get some decent coin for them. If you should pass unexpectedly they would probably end up in the hands of the authorities and be destroyed and that's a crying shame.
In 50 years I doubt having any firearm at home won't be legal unless for sustenance hunters. Everyone else will have to rent a secure locker at a range and only be able to use it there. Here in Canada at least tho I'm sure Americans will hang on to the wild west mentality much longer than us.

I have a box of those handy for such events tho prefer munching on Brown Sugar Mini-Wheats for the added fiber.
The Oat Crunch Cheerios are pretty tasty too and lest we forget, Honey Shreddies.

Not where I live. Could be 30 min before a cop showed up for a 911 call if not longer.
