@C1PHER most servers are mod fiefdoms, miniature totalitarian states ruled by collossal faggots

I won't argue to the contrary there

But moseying on in to the Wild West and shouting expletives won't incur the wrath of the lawman

We'll all just look at you funny

Unless he was expecting us to all turn on him, but the mob has no power here either

I just ignore him until he decides he's done being an edgy newfag

Gay ops are gay

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting

Redemption arcs are fine, it doesn't need to be this elaborate though lol

There have been bitter arguments on here before between people thst are now friends

im an edgy shitposter

Good for you.

Stunning and brave

a friend of mine when talking about her daughter on facebook posted this.

"Every day I ask her "Are you pretty? Are you smart? Are you kind?", which she responds yes to each"
It's no wonder kids are so narcissistic.

Eh. Sounds more like the mother has zero confidence and is trying to make sure that her kid isn't as timid

Raising children is incredibly hard, cut some slack

🤷

she's not timid

yeah no that just sounds like overbearing parenting

Praising your kids for something they did well = good
Praising your kids for the sake of praising them, every single day = too much

mine was on the other end, no praise ever

I think it's imporant to reinforce the good things
Your kid gets an A? Scores a goal for his team? Plays a particularly difficult song? Good shit

yeah aim for competence not confidence

Both are important but confidence is different from narcissism

And it usually comes naturally out of competence so you are right

there's earned confidence and unearned confidence

I.e. hubris

basically

A word that has sadly fallen out of use.

and unfortunately my friend is setting her kid up for hubris in a big way

Yeah sounds like it.

Much better would be at the *end* of the day: did you do something smart? Did you do something kind?

a shame because I like my friend despite being rather lefty she's never blocked me never ignored me, I can challenge her on stuff from time to time and not have her completely sperg out

yeah that would be better

Female culture nowadays seems like it's all about *unconditional* positive self-regard which is so masturbatory

Rah rah girls are great

Even when they are acting like shitheads

And boys suck even when they are trying their best

the comments were much the same "I'm going to tell my kids the same" and "we need to tell our girls this more often" that kind of shit

So counterproductive

Focus on actions and results
