I did for a little while a couple years ago for S&Gs, mostly to see what it was like when my son started gaming more.

That is basically my impression of this place in my couple months here. The sadder thing is that this is largely 40-50 year old professional men in here. I for sure don't see the bolded here, and I think maybe separating the PSF from the FFA is the reason you still have that over there. Still people sharing stuff about their families and lives, peacefully yakking about music and movies (even with people they just argued hard with in some political thread). Here the dickish online culture seeps into that normal stuff too. Somebody saying The Sickness gave them a hardon for days, the one music draft I clicked on was drafting songs to listen to as you are driving to murder somebody. I'm sure that's not all of them, I just thought it was fitting for these threads. This is just the PSF with people saying what they are actually thinking. That is a good thing. Tim has to be happy. 7 pages already..this is like online gaming for him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of our more recent posters seem unable to do that, which makes it difficult to share personal issues. For instance... 11 minutes ago, RogerDodger said: On the spectrum aren't medically fit for service. ... this guy, fresh from FBG, making fun of a poster's kid who is on the spectrum. He also repeatedly has made fun of another (former FBG) poster, Raven Fan, for his GI problems related to cancer. Who does that? How pathetic must your life be to make fun of the misfortune of others (and their kids) to prop up your fragile ego? If I were centrist to left leaning, I would never share a thing here with this guy around. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulinstl 296 Posted January 31, 2023 Struggling to admit our own fault, though — whether it was a major breach or a minor mess-up — doesn’t really serve us well. Not only can it sour some of our closest relationships, but it can even be detrimental to our own personal growth. For insight into why it’s so hard to hard to put ego aside and acknowledge our wrongdoing, and how to get better at doing so for the good of everyone, keep reading. How to get better at admitting you're wrong (nbcnews.com) For some, admitting they have made a mistake is too threatening to their sense of self as it would cause embarrassment, shame, guilt, 'or challenge their character or beliefs,” says Dr. Kate Kaplan, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Los Angeles, CA. “What people end up doing is over-compensating by denying fault and refusing ownership of their own mistakes, thereby protecting their self-image.” Cognitive Dissonance. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
