Without a shared sense of truth, dialogue turns into noise.
Facts become negotiable.
And power shifts to those who can shout the loudest or manipulate emotions the best.

If this person caught wind of my plan, they'd manipulate me by any means into staying at the further detriment of my life. And they'd succeed. I struggle with boundaries, especially when I've been denied friendship and intimacy my entire life. So I keep caving and saying yes.

Unfortunatly polish ppl are too dumb to recognise orc propaganda, there are no goverment programs to fight it or a clear comunication from gov regarding Ukraine and Ukrainians. Zero of understanding social media trappings from our leaders. Sadly we are dumb and easy to manipulate.

I was very much giving them the benefit of the doubt at first but damn. What a clown. Thankfully we're all wiser caught it early on.

I'm terribly sorry that they used your pain to manipulate you, I'm disgusted and horrified and so angry for you. 🫂

Here's a little peek at the first of the 4 new subclasses coming to the Tactician class on @dmsguild.com this friday: the Ardent!

Inspired by the 4th edition class of the same name, the Ardent is a psionic subclass that uses empathic powers to protect their friends and overwhelm their foes!
On the left: An image of a drow warrior in dark armor mid-stride. They are pointing ahead of themself (to the left of the image) with their right hand, and holding a sheathed sword in their left hand. Pink jagged lines emanate from their forehead. On the right: Text that reads: "Ardent Sculpt and Twist the Emotions of Others Ardents are able to use their psionic power to manipulate the emotions of creatures around them. They inspire confidence in their allies, letting them push past their own doubts and fears to achieve victory, while filling the minds of their foes with despair. A Brand New Subclass for the Tactician Class; Coming to DMsguild Friday November 14th!"

it’s gotten to point where hubby cannot cover all of our bills now. we’re at the point where i’m asking for help from my family, specifically my mom. i don’t like asking for help regarding finances because my mom has a history of holding that over my head and i will have to pay her back or she will hold that over my head to manipulate me. i don’t want to be put in that situation more than once, so i will briefly explain what our situation is and why i post my kofi a lot and ask for donations. in november 2024, i experienced a migraine episode that lasted almost 3 weeks. it landed me in the hospital twice and all the doctors said the same, it’s a migraine. i went on fmla for various months after that while i saw several specialist and neurologist. i was told the same, its just a very bad migraine. i was diagnosed with severe migraines & vertigo and uncontrollable headaches. i eventually went back to work for a few months but then went back on fmla due to me missing so much work. my job really pushed me going back on fmla due to all the absences. eventually i used up all my fmla and was told i would be placed on permanent leave but i could be replaced any moment. this job was physically and mentally tiring and even more so with all these migraine episodes i was having. i was a glorified assistant manager so to speak at a school. i quit. i survived a few months thanks to some short term disability payments i was getting and i still had health insurance but eventually it was cut off. i currently work part time for a substitute teacher agency, i don’t make very much and getting assignments is difficult sometimes. it’s competitive and others can take your assignments. my husband is the main bread winner at the moment but we are barely making it. he takes care of rent, the car notes, etc. with what i make, i try to take care of my own payments but sometimes my hubby will have to cover for me. most of my paychecks go towards medical debit and credit card debit. which is a lot at the moment. i still experience severe migraines/vertigo, dizzy spells & daily headaches. i’ve run out of my preventive headache meds so episodes are much more common and i do miss work because of these episode. on top of that i also suffer from chronic pelvic pain and those meds have run out as well. i try my best to go work when im able but sometimes both chronic pain and migraines knock me down for a few days. i have tried applying for disability but it was denied. according to the application, the disability needs to exceed a year. and i need a doctor to verify this. but every single dr note is not with out cost. (which i do not have) i don’t do a lot of fun stuff anymore like going out to eat, shopping, etc. just because money is extremely tight. but every now and then my husband surprises me with a little treat, like going out to eat, buying me something i wanted, etc. so if i post something of the sort, that is why. and if anyone donates, please know its not being misused and it will go towards bills or debt. i also felt the need to make this bc there are a lot of scammers and i don’t want to be bunched up with them. this is humiliating to post and im ashamed & embarassed but at this point im just trying to survive. thank you for reading and for your support. mao

Powerful from @katelynburns.com on the death of Lia Smith.

I'll never forget watching an anti-trans mvmt leader try to reassure her allies that trans youth "are not suicidal because of us." Now, they either deny trans people's suffering or call it a kind of abuse.

www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...
Excerpt from Teen Vogue article: "There are some professional transphobes who have deluded themselves into thinking that there is no evidence that trans people do anything more than threaten to take their own lives to manipulate others into getting our way. Those of us on the ground, who have trans friends, who are up all night making sure a trans friend having a mental crisis is able to work their way through it, know the truth."

I finished crocheting the bat I started the other day when you were streaming, then treated myself to some nail polish with a somewhat decent effect, the colour glows in the dark as well.
A crochet bat, the colours being dark brown and a rust coloured ruff, much like a flying fox bat. The pattern is by ComplicatedKnots on YouTube. (Kyle's amazing check her stuff out.) My hand, despirately attempting a 'normal' pose to show off my painted nails. I have clenched my fist loosely and taken a photo of my fingers, thumb off somewhere. The nail polish is a very light peach, with orange black and silver glitter, with varying levels of coverage on each nail.... heavy glitter in runny polish is hard to manipulate and I understand why no one bought it! I think it's cool though.

Creating art can transform the inner matrix and then manipulate the world around you. You'll see things differently and encounter events that will trigger your transformation. You just have to say yes to the dress.

trying and doing new things creates neuro-pathways allowing you to take in and process new information and new understanding. this is called neuroplasticity and it is what makes your mind more resilient to negative, overwhelming, or confusing information.

mental fortitude is the name of the game rn

Auto manufacturers still use clay models during the design process because these sculptures are easy to move, manipulate, and adjust with different features.

I hate it when sports Athletes manipulate outcomes to favour those who carry out bets. It kills years of hard work & credibility.

I'm honestly 🤯 that no one b4 me made the connection & dug deeper into historys cycle.
The # of attacks i get from the L over this alone is just 💔. As if there's a limit on knowledge. Maybe if it'd hit me 5yrs earlier the 📚 would've been published by now. For now I manipulate SMPs as best as I can.

But consider that the values of Y and Z are malleable. This, a person can manipulate the speed of time by adjusting the value of the present and of life as a whole.

This gives “Carpe Diem” a theoretical quantifiability.

Trump is already hinting he will send checks out. And that is exactly what they will do to manipulate the uninformed. That is the card Oz won’t show.

The Democrats in Congress are weak and always have been. I think that this is just the way that the game is played as both parties play their part to manipulate and use us to accomplish their own agendas. I’m not a Republican or Democrat because I can’t stand neither and they can both go to HELL.

The SCOTUS decision not to take up Kim Davis request is not a surprise to me.

If you did think it would be overturned, you were manipulated by people who wanted to get something out of your fear.

I implore people to stop letting media manipulate you

This was basically SCOTUS doing this to Davis.

Makes me think of an idea actually.

A duo of vampire hunters foolishly attempting to take me.
Though, I instantly manipulate their minds.
Sucking the will out of one, turning them into a mindless husk while I brainwash the other into thinking their friend is a vampire and their own cock is a stake~

A “duping smile” is a term from psychology and nonverbal communication that refers to a smile someone gives when they are trying to deceive or manipulate another person—essentially, a smile that accompanies lying or trickery.
