Dear Daughter - I Am So Sorry My Daughter - I Have Filed For Divorce
  • Yes. I agree. When contentious divorces like this occur, and the other party has unlimited financial resources, it is best to prepare yourself for the worst. A burner phone is not a bad idea. My recommendation is to keep it in a secure location, and never use it anywhere near your residence or place of employment. Turn it on only when necessary and use it only when necessary. Thanks friend! If anyone needs any advice please let me know.

  • Don't listen to the demon.
  • Hmm. Lemmy gets all the crazies, huh? I was going to delete this one, but it's actually somewhat entertaining. I'm an Exorcist fan so I know what this is about. These are all references from the movie. Not sure about the Aramaic reference though.

  • trying to understand you
  • Confabulations. What better way to discard someone's true past experiences by gaslighting them with a single solitary term.

    It's finally good to see the folks that have been lurking, get involved. No matter what type of criticism they may bring. I encourage it.

  • CRLF post formatting

    Sorry for the old-school terminology and mis-terms in this message as I have not had a problem like this since my dumb-terminal days (I'm guessing that long)

    How does one add the proper carriage returns to a post?

    I have these three lines, with a new line on each but formats as one paragraph: This is line 1. This is line 2. This is line 3.

    The only way I can separate these lines is using an extra carriage return between each line which looks horrible.

    This is line 1.

    This is line 2.

    This is line 3.

    How do I get the above lines to show up without that extra new line between each?

    Thanks!

    Is there a way to view the subscriber list. I'm thinking there are some bots sitting on the sub. I would like to confirm. Thanks.

    Women and the need to get revenge??
  • Let's make a conscious effort to be nice about people in the future. Using the word crazy is just an exaggeration for you I'm sure.

    Both men and women are capable of revenge. If you can pull your knuckles up from the ground, check out this article from the National Library of Medicine:

    "Revenge Fantasies After Experiencing Traumatic Events: Sex Differences"

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6520653/

    Revenge is defined as “an action in response to some perceived harm or wrongdoing by another party that is determined to inflict damage, injury, discomfort, or punishment to the party judged responsible”

    Modern Western thought considers revenge taboo and encourages forgiveness instead.

    The desire for revenge is also intended to re-equilibrate power and allow the victim to regain a sense of control over his or her circumstances

    However, when the victim knows the perpetrator and has an emotional attachment, the level of revenge is thought to be contingent upon the desire to preserve the relationship with the perpetrator and feelings toward him or her. The greater the desire to preserve the relationship, the greater the tendency to either deny the hurt or forgive the perpetrator.

    In this context, recent research shows that retaliatory violence including revenge is gendered (Mullins et al., 2004) with women adopting a submissive position and tend to avoid aggression and retaliation while men are encouraged to exhibit aggressive behaviors and revenge (Feld and Felson, 2008). For example, women with higher affective dysregulated temperaments are more likely to exhibit revenge fantasies. However, these fantasies are directed against the self in the form of suicidal ideation, planning, or attempts (Serafini et al., 2012). Women’s self-harm can be reflected in the phenomenon of self-silencing, which refers to the intentional withholding of thoughts and feelings from relationship partners as a way of nourishing those relationships and circumventing possible loss, rejection, and conflict

    These thoughts and feelings, which are manifested in various types of behaviors including the denial of expression of emotions or beliefs, presenting a submissive exterior to the public despite feeling hostility and anger, putting one’s needs ahead of the self-needs are mostly characterized by women and reflect women’ strategies to cope with patriarchal systems that limit women’s choices

  • 30 years of Slackware!
  • Wow! My first hands on a Linux distribution! It was like version pl .18 or something like that. Not even v1 yet. I ran an internet access bbs off of it using shell and slip (for client) with 5 dialins. Backend was either DSL or 28.8k modem. Boy did that thing get laggy sometimes. People loved it though. I charged $20 for 3 months. Never made any money. I just did it for the fun. What a great distribution. Congrats Slackware!

  • Reddit repost bots are spam, and that needs to be stopped.
  • Can I ask if this sounds like bots handled my relationship situation on Reddit?

    My ex broke up with me about 4 months ago. It was a brutal discard and ghost on her part. I ended up going to Reddit for support and really trashed her actions and our relationship on some of the relationship subreddits there. Nothing serious and no doxxing but some specifics that she might recognize if she read it. I was just venting hardcore anonymously which is what I do to get over something like this. After a few weeks I started to notice that many of the posts on the relationship subreddits looked like they could be based on our relationship or might be slightly off in time or other minor details. Then I start to see what I interpreted initially as my ex's attempt to communicate with me. I'm going through a series of messages in Reddit which get me to one specific story. The title of the story had my ex's name as the poster and in the title it states a characteristic of hers that no one else would know and I'm having a conversation with someone that had her name as her Reddit handle but the spelling was slightly off but the same pronunciation. So I posted a reply and got an immediate auto-response saying this is not your person but we will reach out to them. The next day I'm back at the post chatting with this person again but they are being non-responsive or vague in their responses but she/it states things that might be vaguely related to something I've posted before. I'm seeing more posts which appear to be related to our relationship but with a little more threatening overtone. I'm starting to feel like I'm getting harassed on there and things are happening with my phone specifically with the Reddit app that appear to be abnormal. I removed it from my phone and started using Narwhal again. Then I start seeing strange things occurring with that (one time I was redirected to what appeared to look like the FBI website). As I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, my accounts are getting flagged and I can no longer post with them. This happens to multiple accounts I created. Then my last action I was on the subreddit chatting with someone that indirectly appeared to be my ex. This person was giving me an impression 100% that it was her without telling me it was. My account gets disabled and I decided this was a lost cause and I need to move on from this venture.

    In addition, I'm getting prank phones calls once in a while. I've also been dealing with fake dating profiles since breakup which I believe are her doing. My conclusion was that perhaps she worked in some form for Reddit or was a moderator and organized this with other moderators or employees. It would require some technical expertise which I know she didn't have. I recall her stating that she used Reddit and she was very addicted to it but I never saw what she would do on there. Based on what I was reading on the subreddits, I was getting the impression that she had moved to San Francisco (home of Reddit), but due to a disorder she doesn't have a high school diploma. My thoughts went from the possibility that my ex wanted to reconnect to the point where I thought I was getting harassed by multiple individuals that would force demands on me. It got so bad that I sent Reddit a cease and desist letter. The events above occurred within the last 3-4 weeks.

    I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm not discounting that it was all scripted and possibly automated. What I noticed in the past weekend was an uptick in the posts as though they are being auto-generated. The posts are no longer specific to us or have any demands of me on there. I'm not sure what to make of this and I don't have my ex's contact information anymore and I'd be afraid to even reach out even if I did.

    Does anyone have any past experience like this? Or is there somewhere I can post this experience where people might have an idea as to what happened here? It's all just very odd to me leaving me a bit distraught until I gave up.

    Thank you.
