Just in case anyone might argue it wasn't a Nazi salute, he turns to face his fascist lord and repeats the gesture with precision. A crisp and clean fascist salute.

The fuck is this shit?

Your link is to a liveblog containing a continually increasing stack of articles, I'm not sure which you intended to point at?

Ohhhhhhh! I have a friend named Miranda and once I was around a Spanish-speaking friend of hers and when this woman would pronounce Miranda's name, I would hear "me-landa"

But that's what you're talking about! The "r" sounds have a little tap to the roof of the mouth... Okay, I'm experimenting with this, I had never noticed before how close the "n" sound was to the "l" sound...

Thank you!

Let me educate myself a bit more on taxes/tariffs.

Wikipedia says a Tariff is a tax paid on the import or export of goods. As I understand that, a tariff is a fee added to the price the importing corporation would pay for that good and, as you're pointing out, that fee will simply be passed down to the consumer.

There is a transfer of money from the corporation to the extra-national company which produces the good and there is a transfer of money from the corporation to the government of the corporation's nation. But if I'm understanding this right, there is no transfer of money between the seller of the imported good and the corporation buying it, right?

This reads very well!

I think starting the statement as a request for help in the analysis really works.

I just fuckin finished All You Need Is Kill, that was a neat story!

In a Groundhog day loop, I can tell you that suicide would become so much more casual...

Knowing nothing else about this man, from your narration, we at least know he is using his bourgeoisie privilege to in part support a comrade (you) and so is not worth nothing? Does that rehabilitate him in your mind?

A cursory check that I'm too busy to give my full attention indicates that, maybe(?) the motive of the Gunpowder Treason was to improve religious freedom?

OP: "god, it's hard being a paraplegic and trying to run..."

You: "guys, don't listen to this asshole, being a paraplegic means you can't run. If this person were actually NPD, it would be an extremely positive sign for them to seek to improve themselves and since we can see this person trying to improve themselves, they are clearly lying and manipulative. Classic NPD."

Log off and touch grass. You can come back when the stench of your self righteous diarrhea of the mouth fades.

I think you raise a very valuable point here. "Narcissist" is so often used simply as a label for the villain with no consideration for the terms use as a medical diagnosis.

In your case, you may be labeled a narcissist but you make a continual conscious effort to account for the weaknesses implicit in that diagnosis. This is different from the vitriolic insult so often used to condemn people.

This is a failure on our part, in the way we use the term. You may be (technically) a narcissist, but, you are not "evil" in the way that others popularly labeled "narcissists" are. You are a good person.
