Heh, I am amused someone is referencing this thread (which I forgot about) for a book about the noosphere being a part of the fediverse and being federated (through a technology built by aliens that uses a combination of machines with airwaves and dream influencing to unify dreams, which is a part of the fediverse) and the fact the reason we might not realize we’re in each others’ dreams is because the appearances in the dreams differ in inconsequential ways in the same way multiple versions of redrawn scenes or parallel style fiction do due to being federated, with the occasional individual defederation.

The Aztec version.

Dovahkiin, is that you?

Yes, I have come back for my kingdom. Muahahahahaha!

Oh would you look at that, they did steal the footage I showed, just as I predicted.

Partially but not entirely.

That’s correct.

That’s 100% what I mean. I didn’t have the right words for it though.

Yeah, same thing as here.

Refresh me on that, what happened?

Enabling as in justifying something that normally cannot be justified.

Gaslighting, as in those times when you tell your spouse the kitchen is on fire and they say “oh you’re just imagining things, that’s the aurora borealis in there”.

It’s a sequel to a previous question. I’ve been watching people bombard someone I met with claims that she must be a narcissist/schizophrenic/whatever based on trivial disagreements and them thinking she thinks she’s always right (despite the people saying that being in a very specific demographic), and in turn other people saying she comes off as thinking she’s always right as an immune response to people gaslighting her in the first place. She posted a few demonstration videos on Tiktok which one of the supposed gaslighters then decided to infringe the copyright on and post on YT saying it makes them look good (ironically the “gaslighter” is coordinated with another infamous guy who has pushed the same agenda). And here I am trying to find a way to ask “wtf is this” but can’t because the AITA groups either don’t allow people saying things on others’ behalf or don’t allow the video format. At this moment there’s a new video from her that hasn’t been deleted yet (she deletes the ones that are copied) but which is inevitably going to be deleted when the other guy replicates it.

Lucky.

It’s not “everywhere”, it’s the public service part of society. Never have I complained about, for instance, how well my food comes out at a restaurant, or how good the car mechanics here are (imagine a society where cars have overall better doctors than people and where this can be compared). It’s always the everyday “mandatory” people in society. So I can say it’s not a problem with myself.

I’m pretty sure public sector performability is objectively measurable as opposed to assholery. I’m not strictly talking about that, I mean people literally doing what their contract or job description promises.

That’s considered a soap opera?

Yeah, just free love.

A hypothetical question.
