It funny that war thunder will beg people on social media platforms to not release military documents because the game doesn’t reflect real life… but yet they enable it because war thunder then buffs or needs the leaked military equipment

According to ATT I have used 200GB of data over my 150GB allotted data limit in July on my canceled and no longer hooked up DSL that was taken out in June

queen vale
#

Don't tell them clearly, just m ake them prove it, then once you have evidence to hand hit them with "So you're saying I'm pulling data down on a disconnected line?"

#

Then hit them with "So I'm now concerned about any overusage charges you have given me, since you've proven you can't track it correctly.. get me a supervisor please."

night plume
#

I did that on the last bill and was given a full refund.

#

The woman I was talking to told me she couldn't find where the line was connected and refunded me and saw that I had fiber connected and that was being used.

#

Since she didn't have the ability to remove the bill, she credited my fiber bill and had me pay the DSL bill. Told me not to pay the DSL bill until the credit appeared on the Fiber bill.
My fiber bill was $2 bc of the credit.

#

This DSL bill is $104. Can't wait to see how they try to justify it.

Yep, they aren't tracking correctly at all

The way I translate "feeling wanted" is the human desire for companionship. Every person wants it, so yes, it is "selfish," but not selfish in a bad way. What would make it selfish in a bad way is finding someone with their group, butting in, and pushing everyone else away so you have this individual to yourself and sap up all their time. That is selfish in a bad way.

#

Human beings by and large can and often do act in self-interest. Cynicism is an objective truth for this reason. Understanding this first and foremost is how one can start understanding how to be selfless and understanding that everybody has their own lives and issues to deal with. It is also from this understanding one would start to realize how egotistical and heartless certain people can really be.

Companionship isn't restricted to just family either. Even discord interactions with each other can be considered mingling and companionship. The human desire for companionship and togetherness is quite literally as old as we've been around. People have made friends, families, and companions for literal millennia. So, please, don't feel bad or start hating yourself for desiring companionship; that's part of being human. But obviously don't start manipulating and dragging people away from their lives and other friends for your own sake either, that's when it becomes selfish.

# small berry sometimes you need someone selfish that cares about the right things

Sometimes these "selfish" people can recognize the signs of manipulation, call them out, and help a friend out of a tight and eventually dangerous situation they're getting themselves into. I've helped a few of my friends with these things.

There isn't such a thing as a perfect person. Nobody will ever stop learning. The first step to achieving a dunning-krueger effect is thinking you've mastered a subject and you don't need to learn anymore. The second step is what leads to megalomania, where you think you're always right and get frustrated and angry when people with applied experience come around and explain why you're wrong; but your judgement is too clouded by what you think you know that you won't even consider why the other side might be correct.

frozen bluff
# small berry I think if we could max selfishness and empathy to the limit, we'd achieve perfe...

The ironic thing is that the first step to recognizing your own selfishness is recognizing also that you aren't perfect and the world doesn't owe you anything. This is what leads to empathy, going through a struggle yourself so you know exactly what it is like and how it feels to struggle and work towards your goals, rather than have them handed to you on a silver platter. This is why rich people are as disconnected from reality as they are. This is why YouTubers who grow really big and successful seem to "change", because they forget where they came from and start pursuing the superficial realm of luxuries.

Through recognized selfishness, one acquires empathy, and through acquired empathy, it is fully possible to become selfless and help those who need it, who struggle with the struggles that you've gone through.

#

Then through the acquisition of both, one returns to selfishness, to take better care of themselves in order to be more empathetic and help people more effectively

I've dealt with many narcissists in my life. My grandmother on my mom's side took this to her very grave. There isn't such a thing as perfection, never will be. It defies the very laws of the reality we know. Nobody can possibly know or understand everything.

But there are people who do not recognize this, and they're not very smart. We've even seen a few of them here before.

Through recognizing your selfishness, you become selfless, then you learn empathy, and return to selfishness so that you may not live for yourself. If you're going to be selfish, be it for the right reasons.

# lucid urchin I think lot of people forget about this part though. Selfishness isnt bad thing ...

People do, it's why I adopted the name "Cynic", as it's the only branch of philosophy with founded truth in it, based on observable phenomena. People always tout it as a bad thing, when it also includes things like: getting into good physical condition, so you can help an old dad and his daughter move her into her third floor apartment (I did this recently), and eating right so as to keep toxins out of your body and keep your brain sharp and alert. Both of those are selfish, but they're selfish for the right reasons.

I've dated many people on and off. The longest relationship I had lasted 9 months, then it fizzled out and I pulled the plug. I also had my suspicions, but never voiced them fully in case I was wrong.

Longstory short, she had found another person a week later. I don't exactly believe in coincidences. The only thing that rubbed off the wrong way is that she should've first stopped with me before seeing someone else. There is nothing wrong if the feelings are lost, nothing wrong in moving on. But respect the other, and let them know, that's my take.

Oh boy. When I was young, about 15, I learned about this hellhole of social app (will not disclose name, but it's 3 letters. Those who know, will know).

I was naive, young, stupid, a teen. Full of hormones and well, ya'll know the deal. A lot of people took advantage of me. My childhood was rough and it didn't help me to form good relationships later. It also didn't help me to spot the red flags on people.

I think I was at risk of growing up to become one of those people, but I had a handful of good friends who stuck with me.

This is why it's so exceptionally important for parents to actually control what their kids do online, at least to a degree. Let them have a little more freedom when they turn 14, maybe 16 if they're autistic.

It does more than “raise a few eyebrows” though, that’s the thing. Moment it comes up, it gets shut down and shit upon.
It’s “not comfortable” to talk about, because thats what’s drummed into people.
“We want men to open up, stop toxic masculinity, show more emotion”, yet when a man does open up, about problems, depression, emotions “man up and deal with it, you’re not masculine, grow up”.

And thus, the cycle of toxic masculinity continues. Toxic masculinity is bottling emotions, only showing strength even when you’re slowly succumbing to the weight of depression, stress, loss.

You know the only “appropriate” time to cry for a man is at a funeral, afterwards you’re told to get over it. Move on.
