It depends on how you define weird, but this phenomenon has a name (if that gives you a clue as to how common or uncommon it might be): Alexinomia

I also not only struggle with not feeling weird when I hear my name, but I also just avoid using other people’s names to the point that people get upset with me when I am trying to tell them about things involving multiple people because I will simply never name any of them. It makes listening to me rather confusing for others, and I’m not even entirely aware I’m doing it. And I die a little bit inside whenever I’m in a situation that requires me to address someone by name.

Might be worth looking into Alexinomia for some more information if this is bothering you.

Two great assumptions here; that I don’t already read “non-western news sources” and that any different narrative is somehow more true?

Just because Putin says he’s “liberating” Ukraine doesn’t make it any more true than when the Nazis said they were “liberating” Poland. Non-western sources have exactly as much reason to lie to you as western sources do, and it’s kinda up to you to figure that out instead of slavishly consuming state media but it’s a different state so it must be more gooder!

Are you claiming the 81 Russian attacks on maternity centers didn’t happen, or that they did and it just isn’t a big deal?

How incompetent would Russia need to be to “accidentally” attack 81 maternity centers? Unless you think Ukraine is just covered in maternity centers for some reason?

Please clearly state which part of this is untrue. Just saying “western propaganda” is a thought terminating cliche and you know it.

He’s been mad about windmills ever since Scotland built some within viewing distance of his golf course there. He tried to argue they’d lower his property values and whatnot but he has been ranting about windmills ever since.

Split Fiction is great but I think It Takes Two was just a better game all around. Split Fiction was faster paced which was nice, but the little exploration areas in It Takes Two were just wonderful. Lots of little surprises and fun details to find that made it a joy to slow down and just explore and experience some nice environments. Split Fiction was really missing that and while it’s still great, I wish they’d done a bit of that too.

Again, it literally does not say that Nazis cannot exist because of those things, you’re reading that into the text. That’s a you problem. It very literally says less than 3% of the country voted for Nazis which is what you’re claiming it doesn’t say? It flat out admits there may be Nazis, but they do not have any power.

Yeah, except that’s not what the article says at all, which gives away the fact that you’re going in with a narrative that you refuse to be questioned on.

The article says that Nazis could very well exist, but they don’t have any significant power. Which you’d think invading an entire country to get at a handful of alleged Nazis might be a bit overkill, since there’s zero evidence that the entire country is just overrun with Nazis.

Again, they’re using the same argument Israel is: everyone in this territory is (insert code word for evil here) and we must be allowed to kill them. But you think it’s ok when Russia does that.

What part of it isn’t convincing?

Don’t let the tankies see this. It would ruin their ability to justify Russia’s invasion and they’d have to reckon with the fact that they can correctly identify Israel saying “everyone in Palestine is a Hamas” as bullshit but for some reason Russia saying “everyone in Ukraine is a Nazi” weirdly doesn’t register. It’s almost like genocide is fine as long as your team is doing it.

Hasn’t Elon been complaining about anti-natalists being the worst people alive? Seems awfully convenient that all of the sudden there’d be something for that dipshit to point at as “proof” anti-natalists are evil.

Since no one on here will ever know me…

It’s accepting that I have autism and that having autism is ok. My mom used “autistic” as an insult against me, the first time I remember was from age 5 as an attempt to control behavior she saw as undesirable. Running circles outside until I wore the grass out and flapping my hands about was something I needed to feel ashamed about according to her. And so I hid that and everything else she criticized so hard that I couldn’t accept that the reason I struggled so hard with a lot of things in my life wasn’t because I was just some innate failure but because I had an unaddressed condition that was she not only refused to help with but actively made worse.

To this day I still cannot do things like make eye contact, or tolerate being touched. But I’ve learned to not only accept myself for who I am, but accept that little boy who never understood why his own mother never seemed to be able to love him.

The other problem is that the $55 American made one will mysteriously become $94 because doing anything else would be leaving money on the table and therefore unconscionable to American business owners.

Tariffs have a nasty habit of making local goods increase in price accordingly too.

It’s better. That’s not a reporter. Or anyone with any credentials at all.

It was MTG’s boyfriend.

Dating a congressthing gets you Oval Office access now.

Incredible that Trump remains so mad that Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize that he’s willing to literally just order an ally to give up so he can claim he made the peace and demand his prize. He really was just entirely broken by a black man being president.

Rich people figured out that if you buy a news outlet and just have them repeat a lie over and over and over and over it just becomes a fact that everyone knows.

From there you have your politicians run on fixing the problem you lied about existing and now everyone is convinced that not only is the problem real, but only the right wingers can fix it.

Bonus: when your chosen politicians win, you can have your media outlet lie about the problem being fixed to give people a warm fuzzy to reinforce voting this way.

Yes, but this would require someone to enforce “Nazis bad” and lol @ thinking the current admin would do anything but clearly define anything to the left of Hitler as hate speech.

the fart of the deal baybee

Didn’t we already know this? I remember this being a thing during trumps first term and him doing absolutely nothing because he would’ve had to admit Russia did a bad thing which he’s mysteriously incapable of doing for reasons beyond anyone’s comprehension…

“You don’t need to be protected from us” he said while invading.

Yeah, again, not a winning argument here.

Still hinging literally everything on Donbas not being externally caused I see. As long as you cover up interference in other countries, it’s fine to use that as pretext to invade and do whatever you want.
