2025.02.01 19:32 MermaidInAWetsuit The Intense Shame & Guilt Over My Demonic Past Haunt Me
It's a long story I posted elsewhere but in 2015 I went through a strange time where a phobia of God/Christianity turned to anger and hate sad ended up with me believing God was real and evil and that the devil was a good rebel.
I tried to commit spiritual suicide by saying something nasty about the Holy Spirit and I felt like I had the mind of satan
The worse part is I tried to lead others away to hell as I thought I was damned in a "more the merrier" way.
I would have a huge fear of the Bible, couldn't be near one. Seeing a Gospel tract nearly caused me to faint from fear.
I no longer think this way and I'm trying for years to get with Jesus but I was doubting and apathy for so long (hopefully depression)
When I think of this time in my life I feel completely hopeless and beyond redemption or grace and its my fault
Can Jesus even forgive me?

2025.02.01 19:32 theconstellinguist Xi Jinping’s Narcissistic Dream
Xi Jinping’s Narcissistic Dream Citation: Tudoroiu, T. (2023). The Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative. Taylor & Francis.
Link: https://www.routledge.com/The-Geopolitics-of-Chinas-Belt-and-Road-Initiative/Tudoroiu/p/book/9781032615981?srsltid=AfmBOooiGLYBqVrfReU89LOPB2ZUZJc9g0OfIeB9uM_U993mDvlb-p-3
Full disclaimer on the unwanted presence of AI codependency cathartics/ AI inferiorists as a particularly aggressive and disturbed subsection of the narcissist population: https://narcissismresearch.miraheze.org/wiki/AIReactiveCodependencyRageDisclaimer
Many say that Xi Jinping’s personality doesn’t factor into politics. This is incorrect.
Since Xi Jinping has made himself a strongman, pushing out people whose contrasting personality traits could neutralize any unintended ill-intentioned consequences of his personality, it has become clear the area is consistently being victimized by his ongoing aggressive and authoritarian traits that run over greater teamwork in the government.
He is notorious for pushing those who previously had no problem with teamwork around, for disrespecting vulnerability or not caring about social propriety especially in terms of being diplomatic and not expansionist.
His personality flaws come more and more to make China itself the collateral damage. An increasing emphasis on warlikeness, violation of diplomatic norms, and expansionism has originated in China. However, he is markedly more communist compared to Trump who has similar features while being relatively and staunchly capitalist (capitalist real estate structure).
- “This is to say that President Xi finds himself in a situation where his personality traits can significantly impact China’s foreign policy and its effects on the international order.”
- “These traits can be assessed using a typology of foreign policy leadership style types proposed in 1996 by the same Margaret Hermann in collaboration with Thomas Preston and Michael Young. This typology is based on three dimensions: responsiveness to or awareness of constraints; openness to information; a motivational focus (i.e. task/problem accomplishment versus interpersonal/relationship). Their various combinations lead to eight types of foreign policy leadership style for world leaders. The one that best fits Xi is identified as ‘expansionistic’. Leaders in this category typically challenge constraints and are closed to information. Moreover their focus of attention is on expanding the leader’s, government’s, and state’s span of control (Hermann et. al 1996; Cottam et. al 2004).
- “Indeed he personally took full control of China’s political system; launched a successful process of authoritarian and consolidation and centralization, visible both in mainland China and places such as Hong Kong and adopted policies intended to expand Beijing’s global influence.”
For example, Agnes Chow resides in Canada. She is a clear and obvious victim of what happens to women when they dissent against Xi Jinping. She is also a victim of Chinese misogyny, including her support of her comrades being relatively unanswered towards her in return. She is a good example of a victim of clear Chinese misogyny, with inexcusable misogyny-based failure to return support ambivalence even amongst her fellow dissenters.
- “Very different from the team based approach of his predecessors, President Xi ‘grasped all the levers of power in the Party and the state, in effect dismantling the collective leadership situation (Rolland, 2019: 222-223). He also disliked the idea of stepping down after two five-year terms as Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao did. Accordingly, in March 2018, the National People’s Congress abolished term limits on the presidency.” To consolidate power, the President eliminated not only actual but potential rivals.
Xi Jinping likes to tout he is a billionaire in some circles, and can be distinguished by this closeted pride as a leader of a communist friendly, allegedly anti-corruption country.
- “It can investigate all the individuals working for the state and its affiliates (Shirk 2018:14). Those who take all this genuine effort to curb overwhelming corruption might have a problem in explaining why nobody investigated Xi’s extended family, which reportedly holds a combined wealth of more than US $1 billion.”
It is a collective narcissist’s cover for cropping in on the “turf” of a competing orgaization and destroying its center of power and the politicians that support its structural values. Trudeau’s fall resembles the splitting apart of the base of power, while also showing the same expansionist narcissism also found on Putin, who has a developing second world economy which is based on natural resources. It is "recovering from socialism" but hasn't achieved the GDP to not be so reliant on natural resources due to internal tecnhological-productive capacities.
Trudeau could not afford to ignore or minimize the influence of China, especially when the splitting apart of his political support shows similar strategies and techniques that Xi Jinping influences. Conflating someone like Agnes Chow's Chinese ex-nationality with Xi Jinping's China is like conflating Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Mexican ethicity with El Chapo's Mexico. That is a huge mistake; the former is literally the victim of the latter.
China’s economy is developed on the brink of first and second world, with a “developing mixed socialist market economy”.
However, its GDP despite its technological level is still significantly lower than most developed nations, showing it is still in the “developing” phase, and bears the expansionist narcissism of a country still developing in turn.
Countries attempting to further their technological advancement, rather than be pulled back to an earlier stage, are deeply confused and probably riddled by benevolent racism (“Asians are harmonious good at math” without further researching the specific country; Jinping’s reign is no longer the ‘harmonious’ team work that China used to be well known for) when contracting Xi Jinping’s adjacent interests.
It must also be remembered that almost all Chinese based countries have CCP backdoors, especially if the CCP catches wind that they’re making big money from the West. Xi Jinping immediately tries to get himself and his direct interests in to those points.
- “The real goal of the anti-graft campaign is to remove all possible rivals, eliminate competing centers of power, demolish the organizational bases for patronage networks controlled by other politicians, install loyalists, and cement the President’s power.”
They are no longer the “harmonious” team players China has its good reputation abroad about.
A common signature of Xi Jinping specific corruption is wanting China to be the wealthiest country in the world, while allegedly attacking countries for permitting corruption to become the “wealthiest country in the world”.
All in all his behavior fits the profile of a country deeply stuck in a “developing” mindset trying to involve and insinuate its values in “developed” economies that mainly have interests in increasing their technological capacity to heighten their trade facilitation, not desperately grabbing for more natural resources and destroying trust and dynamics in trade networks due to just not understanding the system yet as is seen in most developing nations.
Putin’s has an answering developing type style (aggressive-expansionist, markedly narcissistic), but it is even less developed, with a huge reliance on literally selling its own women (human trafficking) and notorious for an ongoing drug, drinking and studying problem. Corruption is rife in Russia, including “death capitalism” where they have mobs even for funerals.
- “The purge has been secretive and top down.”
Covid-19 and the way it hushed up information matches the way it treats its opioid and AIDS crises. By then it is too late and has caused a huge backlash to his own country.
This is the same narcissism found in developing children who may clash their trucks and cars into their peers’, eager to “be someone” in their eyes, only to suffer the social backlash of being driven down in possible “social capital” compared to their peers after witnessing this.
Thus, China is stuck in a “developing” mindset and for its size, has a lower than normal GDP.
- “He also showed a considerable degree of narcissism.”
Some revolutions are mixed between envy and necessity, such as the Russian revolution which bore both features. However, when it became clear Stalinism, a majority party that wasn’t even at the fore of the revolutionary energy itself, was the prevailing party it became clear Stalinism was more or less a police state where the police were even less educated than normal and terroristic, to the point of being frauds. To this day, the Stalinist police state has left a scar of finding police to be jokes given how fraudulent and hypocritical they are. Many communist countries feel this way about their police, due to the high envy factions as described in the book Egalitarian Envy, where they didn’t really want things to change, they just wanted what the wealthy had for themselves.
Xi Jinping’s treatment of celebrities who are more attractive than him or artists who are more talented than him fits this profile; he does not uphold them or venerate them as symbols of what he wants China to be see as to the world, but attacks them top-down and tries to get them to erase and hide in plain sight he is so jealous of them.
To this day, China is notorious for scaring those who want to be expressive and original for fear of irritating or angering the envy of the local CCP narcissist who feels they deserve this talent for themselves, instead of developing what talent they already have. This may lead to the impression of a “talentless China that parasites talent abroad” when it is genuinely not safe for internal Chinese to show their talent under Xi Jinping’s CCP that fits many of the dynamics described in the book.Egalitarian Envy.
Korea has similar problems, notorious for its envy-based issues of murdering and humiliating its own celebrities more regularly than they are already targeted in other countries in a way that fits the psychological pattern of severe envy.
- “Being often envious of others and believing others are envious of him or her.”
His country has an answering wound; the fact his economy is markedly behind for its size and age is an echoing narcissistic injury, it probably wants to think of itself as “developed” when it acts like (expansionism) and is (GDP level) still very clearly “developing”.
- “There can be little doubt that President Xi’s traits fall into this category. Amusingly, Winnie the Pooh was banned in China because comparisons were made between his sleepy face and the leader of Beijing.”
China attempts to insinuate it will help countries with infrastructure, builds infrastructure, and then tries to engage the country in a governance by debt that fits the pattern of illegal human trafficking structures.
In many cases, Western countries swing in to stop the normalization of government by debt, and find that local gangs were selling access to the infrastructure at extortive rates, betraying the whole process and worsening the already bad collapse areas in the area by giving an in to corrupt gangs to further increase their wealth.
This can happen in any country though. It should be examined for whenever there are signs of it. Contracting with China because “Asians are good at math” and “China is what I think of when I think of Asia” shows how dangerous benevolent racism can be, importing developing values in developed countries due to sheer laziness and benevolent racism.
- “The President’s constant interest in setting up grandiose projects is also an expression of narcissism. Most notably, the Belt and Road initiative is typically presented as his signature foreign policy initiative.”
However, it is even argued narcissism is considered more dangerous that conventional illness to the proper government of the world. If a narcissistic leader is in charge, incompetence with conventional illness will follow. It can therefore be worse.
- “This is why leaders ‘can be extraordinarily destructive’. It was even argued that narcissism can be more dangerous than conventional illness to the proper government of the world.”(Pettman 2010: 487).
- “In the case of Xi, narcissism most likely had its part in making him initiate a grand strategy of that targets nothing less than the construction of the new international order.”
- “The idea might have been in the air since 2008, but it was Xi Jinping who turned it into actual policy. In the history of humankind, only a small number of individuals harbored such formidable ambitions. The problem is the narcissistic overconfidence and the associate sense of omnipotence and invulnerability can have negative consequences in the context of an increasingly conflictual relationship between China and the United States.”
- “China displayed a strong tendency to exaggerate its capability to achieve its preferred objectives’” (Liu 2020: 21)
This is not how a developed country behaves, which he claims he is. This is how a country that is developing desperate for natural resources due to its own technological, structural and philosophical structures behaves.
Otherwise trying to get a more favorable and desirable trade position in international economics using a combination of technology, politics, and finance would be the the desired position by building trust, not destroying it by taking malicious action against what would otherwise be indispensable team players.
- “Predictably this worsened relations with India, Japan, South Korea, certain Southeast Asian states, and – critically – the United States (Ibid).”

2025.02.01 19:32 AgipAndi90 New dawn
Restarted the game finally after 2 years. 2 years ago I gave up after 30 minutes and was left dissappointed and kinda hated it. But yesterday I gave it another chance and it kinda clicked. Its fun!
Some things still kinda bother me like the enemy levels that really make the game stupid when you just can not kill an animal or enemy with 12 headshots cause he is level 3.... And the antagonists are kinda bland. The highwaymen don't really feel that menacing or I don't get the motivation of them but to relive this world with the pos apocalyptic look is cool. I like that things like fast travel or the scope are things you have to earn and so they feel worth something. I like the look of prosperity and to find things that relate to far cry 5. So it is nothing special compared to far cry 5 but I am glad that I finally warmed up to the game.

2025.02.01 19:32 Danni_Jade Portable AC safety?
I am unsure why my room is always noticeably hotter than the rest of the house, but it stays that way. I got a portable air conditioner (Hisane brand) yesterday to try to make it a bit nicer in here, but as I'm sitting here staring at it I'm wondering if they're completely safe. Should I run it outside for a day or three before installing it in my window to make sure there are no gases that could hurt my girls, or should it be safe to just plug in and start using out of the box? It's the sort that sits on the floor and has a vent that points outside. The guy at Lowe's said they pull air into the room, push the cool air in, and vent the hot air out if that makes a difference.
Thank you from Rydia, Selphie, and me!

2025.02.01 19:32 ElDubzStar Post disc decompression surgery increased pain and decreased mobility
I (46f) have been off work since Jan 2023 for a large L5-S1 herniation. Finally had microsurgery decompression 10/2024. The recovery part seemed pretty reasonable and normal for the type of surgery. After 45 days I was able to get physical therapy and I noticed the pain in my hip thigh and the side of my calf was getting worse. I also noticed my knee was getting very stiff and locking up. This was not a problem I had for the most part during my recovery or before. Now I'm several months past my surgery and this pain stiffness is debilitating. I can't even stand for very long to make dinner without being extremely uncomfortable.
I'm anxious because I'm about to hit the two-year cap here in California for them to send me bi-weekly pay. They'll start disability payments until I can get state disability. After only getting 60% of my income for 2 years I will now only get half of that 60% from them or from the state. I already have working limitations that prevent me from doing my nursing job and now I'm going to have even more! It's already difficult to find a job for myself that isn't involving direct patient care. These increasing limitations are proving financially disastrous.
I'm frustrated because with the way my leg is going I'm even more limited than I was before! Has anyone else had this experience? With symptoms in your hip leg and calf? I'm not feeling shooting nerve pain This seems like a high level of inflammation I believe and I don't know what other nerve things are happening. Getting a new doctor as soon as possible since I just received legal representation. Unfortunately I have to wait for an appointment which might take a minute.
Anyway, just looking to see if anybody has had referred pain or an increase in issues after their decompression surgery. I just don't want them to let me feel like this is not related to it when I know it is! This whole process is confusing sometimes and scary. Also if you can tell me how you navigated the experience dealing with the doctors related to it, I would appreciate it.

I paired it to my forerunner 255, and when i just took it for a quick spin, the power displayed on my watch, as expected, but when I look at the data on my phone, it doesn't break out left vs right. Does anyone know if this is possible through the 255? I'm planning to get a garmin 540 head unit next, so maybe I have to wait until then to see left vs right?

Before, i explain, i would like it to be known that i HAVE called the vet ~ about 7 of them. Not a single one within miles of me is open until Monday & i will be taking her first thing Monday morning. My cat, Pixie, is a full bred maine coon (in case that's important) & this morning she began wobbling as she walked, she meows/growls when her stomach is touched, her nose is running profusely, she's lethargic, & she will not accept food & water. I tried putting some tuna w water in her mouth & she spit it out. I talked to a vet on the Chewy website & the most he told me was that it might be her blood sugar. I did as he suggested & rubbed some honey on her tongue & gums, but while she's not wobbling anymore, her other symptoms remain. I plan on getting some gatorade that i can give to her with a syringe so she can get electrolytes, but does anyone have any ideas on how i can make my furbaby a little more comfortable or help her in any way until I can get her into the vet's office on Monday morning?? I am open to ALL ideas!!
