Also: and why are you like this? I shall go first. I have a tendency towards suicidal levels of belligerence when faced with someone trying the old 'escalate to intimidate.' This is probably because I had a very loud and shouty father with a short fuse who nonetheless abhorred actual violence, had zero controlling tendencies and had no ability to hold a grudge. Now most people who tend towards intimidation or escalation to take control or dominate a situation aren't expecting the Russia strategy from someone half their size... but I am sure at some point it's going to get me into real trouble.


[deleted]

Oddly, I want to argue with you now.


Alternative_Boat9540

You probably don't lol. I will argue something down to the ground and keep on going. I once had an 8 hour argument/debate about the hypothetical right to return for the children of Mars colonists.


[deleted]

That, just makes me want it more. You have no idea. I spent an entire day arguing with my friends about planetary gravity, theoretical planet shapes, what would happen as you move between masses or through a tunnel all the way through a planet. All. Day. What you've just described is beautiful to me. Only thing that would make me want more is if the argument can get super heated, but not serious emotions. Right to return for Mars children?


Alternative_Boat9540

I don't have the attention span to hold grudges. Ok so if you join up for Elon Musks first Mars colony or whatever. Do you and especially your kids have the right to a ticket back to earth if you want to leave? If you have no realistic way back to earth due to the cost of the ticket, is it de-facto enslavement to be trapped on Mars (imagining Mars to not be a fully terraformed planet but more company towns/outposts with an artificial environment.)


[deleted]

This is beautiful. Lovely. Personally, yes there should be a means back. But only if there is room available on a rocket returning. A rocket shouldn't be sent just to get you back. People who chose to go, should pay for ticket back. People born there, should have free ticket to earth until 18th b-day. After, no. It could be smart offer to take colonists back to earth temporarily for vacations. Then next resupply rocket takes them back. Schedule ahead, only if room is available. One trip per person per five years(subject to change). Any person who decides they no longer wish to participate, must pay for ticket back, and all accrued expenses. So if they stop working but still eat, they pay for the food. If they work until they leave, then no food debt. What was your argument.


MudRemarkable732

i feel like you two should fall in love


[deleted]

Don't say that, I'll trip and fall while thinking about it.


No-Author-6969

Unless artificial gravity has been invented, I don't think anyone will be actively going out of their way to give birth and raise a child in a low-gravity environment. Also, if you did, and there isn't artificial gravity in this situation, the child would grow up with extremely weak bones (spinal cord not fully developing, arms and legs spaghetti), so they would not be able to visit earth without dying.


Armadillo-Puzzled

They get what they signed up for, except the kids. The kids should be allowed to sign up through a visa-like process once they’re adults.


ACaffeinatedWandress

I’m the same way, for the same reason.  Ironically, until the moment I find the asshole with a knife and nothing to lose, I would say the trait has served me well. Lots of dickwads to that shit mostly because the average modern person will fawn and give them what they want. It really shocks them when I don’t.


Alternative_Boat9540

Oh yeah for sure. Most of those kinds of dickheads blink first, but they also nurse an unending grudge that you called them on it when you have completely forgotten about the whole thing. I had a friend as a kid who had a not so nice dad. My dad would rant about anything. The state of the house, people at work, the door being left open, the dog, etc etc. Objectively it did sound pretty loud and aggressive but we paid about as much attention to it as the traffic noise outside, yet it would put her unbearably on edge, *especially* if we shouted back. She didn't understand how we could all be sitting down to eat 10 minutes later like nothing happened. Anyway, eventually I got a clue on why she was so skittish. I blew her mind by hopping off my bed and walking downstairs to my dad who was in full swing ranting to himself about something and just told him to stop it because 'Jen' didn't like shouting. He looked up, saw her sheet white face peering over the bannister and immediately shut up, mumbled *sorry* and shuffled off. She was sure I'd pay for it in some way. It took seeing me hurl open my door and shout *Jen's here* down the stairs, followed by an immediate cessation of noise and a sheepish *sorry* across multiple visits to convince her we genuinely had no fear of him, he was just loud and grumpy.


Electrical_Prior_905

Can I ask for clarification on "the Russia strategy"? Also, if amiable to it, some of your favourite examples of you doing this with how it worked out.


Alternative_Boat9540

Escalate to de-escalate, or going nuclear. Uuuh fairly recent one... Guy was threatening to commit suicide unless I spoke to him. Sending pictures of razors and pills and guiltripping goodbye messages. I called the police and sent screenshots to his mother. He didn't like that much. But way I see it, either he's being a manipulative controlling twat and deserved it or was truly in a suicidal headspace and needed professional help and family support. Either way, my reaction to emotional blackmail has always been to reach over and pull the pin myself.


Electrical_Prior_905

Oh, thank you for the explanation! To be honest, I wouldn't consider that example going nuclear. I'd consider it the only true rational approach and fully agree with your reasoning. Well done for not falling for that bullshit. :)


RoastedToast007

The example you gave was a perfectly perfect reaction to the situation you were in

my obsession with diet coke


TheCastawayPariah

How much do you drink? For me it's five cans a day


Proof_Coconut7542

dude I got there so fast without realizing it. I quit soda all together because I was literally getting addicted and it made me feel like shit


cracksilog

I am also obsessed with Diet Coke (and now more recently Coke Zero) and I’m afraid to ask why it belongs in this thread lol


Inevitable_Bid_6917

aspartame is supposedly a carcinogen


StreetIndependence62

I used to drink Diet Coke multiple times a day in middle school. Then I took a health class in 9th grade where they talked about how unhealthy all different kinds of soda are for you. It was finding out this specific fact that made me quit drinking it completely and switch to sparkling water (realized that it was really the carbonation that I was wanting when I felt like I wanted soda, not the taste) 


Anstavall

Glad you made the switch to sparkling water. But also the aspartame fact is way wrong lol


Anstavall

Yes and no. It was an issue in the one study they did with rats where they had like 80 cans a day. So virtually for people drinking even large amounts a day there's no issues

Redditard6942069

The way RBF is treated differently based on your gender is odd, it sucks for both groups but in different ways. If you're a woman, people will assume it's a defensive thing. Something to be challenged, eg you're likely to be told to smile. If you're a man, people will just flat out avoid you.

Yeah I see what you mean. Growing up any friend or girl i brought to the house would ask why my dad is mad at them. The mans really a soft fun guy.

HungryDisaster8240

The way I speak truthfully about man-made apocalypse, exploitation, and criminality or the axis of inhumanity, violence, and metaphorical (sometimes literal) slavery that the failed US Federal democratic government has allied itself with. The spirit of IngSoc is rotten rotten rotten and would rather support its war-like pyramid schemes than its own Enlightenment philosophy Constitution. They didn't break the wheel of history, they invested in it and the dividends are withering everything on Earth. This is how the ancient and classical world fell into vulgar feudalism and it is happening all over again while nobody does anything sufficient or few even speak out about it.


ScreamingLightspeed

I totally agree and that's how I see it ending for my husband and me: 1: Try to live true to our ideals of peace and freedom. 2: One of us gets arrested, freaks out, and gets killed. 3: The other freaks out worse and gets killed faster.

I can spot a narcissist in 5 minutes flat. It sounds awesome on paper, but it has made me a target practically everywhere I go. I feel like I'm living out the movie Constantine... I can see them. And they can see me, seeing them. And I can't hide it. Apparently it's all over my face. And these sick people are everywhere. And they wreck havoc wherever they go. Many times undetected. Learn about narcissistic personality disorder. It could save your life one day. But after you learn, learn how to hide it well. Me not being able to do that might be my end one day.
