Stockholm syndrome was made up to cover for police incompetence

I love how every single source emphasizes it’s “single-planet”, just because it’s by Hello Games.
Cause fantasy games with dragons are famously known to all contain interstellar travel.
Oh my god, can’t you let another country suck for a minute without making it about the US?
The UK is a joke you can live in.
I love how just a year ago, he was the one to call out FTX.
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones and all that…
The whole industry seems like a criminal plot at this point.
I’ve been in therapy for so long, I basically understand it well enough intellectually to be able to help others.
I know exactly how it’s supposed to help me, but deriving actual benefit or being able to apply the techniques to myself has never been the slightest possibility.
Lol, rose-scented shea butter, starch and baking soda deodorant all the way baby. You apply it once a day, twice at most, it moisturizes and nourishes your skin, lasts all day, there’s no plastic and you get to laugh in the face of fragile masculinity.
I can’t fucking believe this is your main issue with this boomer-ass garbage.
Mysogyny, but make it diverse.
I’d always thought oranges were supposed to be red.
Why’d you go and cut your finger, when you have perfectly good wrists and forearms?
Tbh, the GPU looks like the most nutritious and least processed foodstuff out of everything in the pic.
Depends. Some console games contain the entirety of the game. However oftentimes they still might require a system update to play, which won’t be available forever.
So yeah, you don’t really own anything.
TBH, I’d much prefer getting a Farmville request than most of the shit Facebook tries to shove down your throat as notifications these days.
(Random person you don’t know, posted in a group you are in, some random weirdo also happened to comment on a thread you engaged with a week ago, 6 people you barely know responded to 6 events, you couldn’t give a rat’s ass about…)
I doubt it would tbh. It’s more or less equivalent to Nintendo shutting down the eshop, or an MMO terminating its online service.
You do not own digital games, you own a license to use a service that may or may not be provided to you.
Lol, I’ve had IBS since I was a kid.
Ben and Jerry’s has amazing stuff. They use soy lecithin sadly, so I’m still getting a mild allergic reaction, but definitely better than dairy.
I’m allergic to milk and soy protein. Ain’t no lactase pills are gonna save me.
I can digest lactose just fine. The issue is, if there’s milk protein, I’m getting gut inflammation for the next week or a month.
I mean, it does depend on whether you count white-collar crime Bernie Madoff and Sam Bankman-Fried style as theft (the statistic provided does not).
If you did, it would dwarf the wage theft, but it would also put what usually gets prosecuted as “theft” into jaw-dropping perspective, making it look like the drop in the ocean, it is.
Here’s a springboard article, if you want to do your own research.

The woman, based on whom the term was coined (the psychiatrist never even talked to her) wrote an autobiography “I became Stockholm Syndrome”.
There’s also the works of Allan Wade, a Canadian psychologist, who has talked to the victims throughout his career.
Basically when you’re at the whims of an armed lunatic, you might cozy up to them in order to appease them. The victims were also really afraid of the police coming in and shooting them. Which is pretty justified, considering the police couldn’t even identify the perpetrator before conceding on his demands and bringing in his prison buddy.
The guy with a gun, whom they’ve been talking to for days and has not hurt them in the slightest looked much less dangerous than the impending doom of the police barging in and shooting the wrong person.
