Sociopath Community

Its an interesting take. I wonder how much of this also depends on culture. 

I seen holidays go south and it brings the whole nest down. It lasts too. I have a lady friend who complained how her cousin only gifted her a Tim Hortons gift card, and I'm like damn woman, so what's the big deal here ?

In Finland, this would be frowned upon, because it sucks the fun out of things. my parents told me to say thank you. There was one time I said I'd prefer another gift, as a 6 year old, and I remember the scolding I got from my parents. People should appreciate the little things. Someone took the effort to get you something, and they didn't have to. Be grateful. 

They're kinda forced. People will get lambasted for not participating in this grand mental business scheme, so they'll max out their credit cards and put on a plastic smile for a day to appease others, or else.

In my case I simply tell people not to get me anything, and that I dislike holidays. And if you call me, don't say Merry Christmas while the word merry isn't even part of your vocabulary. They don't complain probably cause I give them stuff all the time.

For me, it's the one time when we have the entire family together. It's nice.. I dont see my family often, but my wife and I usually go back for Christmas. None of us really care about what we give to each other. It's more about the play and the ritual. Do you have a good relationship with your family?

Totally. I watched a few modern Christmas movies and they were pretty shit compared to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. These are made because it has to be done. No effort with the same old theme.

Hmm. agreed.

Life is simply moments. Some better than others. Thinking this way removes the barrier of waiting for a few times a year to enjoy oneself. Looking back at life from the death bed, it would be sad if one's best days were only on holidays.

Interesting take and I agree. However, my extended family has a hard time having a big get together with everyone in one place very frequently. During Christmas, nobody has to work, and we have made it an annual checkpoint to meet up. Its not that its the one day of the year with most fun, but its the one time of the year when everyone has agreed to be available...

. If her friend told her to do it she would lol women are actually like that.

This occasionally makes me sad. Or disappointed. It's a bit of an overgeneralisation, but it's true in a broad sense. It's also true that men go for anorexic women and do anything to please someone they like.

When humans act obviously like animals, I am disappointed, because I always expect more from people. I want to believe people are smart, independent, and ambitious. But reality is that only a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction is. Some can be trained to be smart, so now my brain power is focused on that. Teaching others to be smart, independent, and ambitious, and to think for themselves. All my girl students are smart like that, and they think for themselves, often moreso than the male students.

 That's the consequence of Capitalism, dehumanization, and the attempt to force people to humanize themselves with no structural reality to it.

Absolutely 0. I'm not talking about cultures or religions that don't celebrate Christmas. I personally have multiple cultures and they all do Christmas.

Ive never thought of it this way, and I have never seen people who were fake like this. I think holidays give people an excuse to enjoy the moment without burning out.

With some.

When it comes to things like that, there'll always be people who don't really want to go there every year. The people who married into your family might want to spend Christmas with their family or stay home. Maybe someone is too broke to fly when the ticket prices are high and getting a hotel is damn near impossible, and they would just love to just relax and eat KD with some Netflix for the entire holiday.  Just the way it is.

Dude, there are guys who'll go for a 500lb Jabba the Hutt. Every type of woman has men on her tail. I strongly advise against men doing anything for a chick he likes, as it's in her nature to be wet for a challenge.

 Science continues to be a male dominated field. But you'll fix that won't you.  

Absolutely 0. I'm not talking about cultures or religions that don't celebrate Christmas. I personally have multiple cultures and they all do Christmas.

From what you describe of your Christmas, it sounds very different from mine. I think its because of where I'm from.

Science continues to be a male dominated field. But you'll fix that won't you.

Why does it need to be fixed? Just let people do what they want.

It's true that women feel more comfortable in groups with more women, but I dont think it justifies quotas.

Personally I like women students. They are more organized, they listen to what I say, they are often better and can be trained more easily, and they make the group more popular. What's not to like?

Ha ha ha, without burning out. That's a good one Legga.

It's 2025 man. Nothing is cheap. People are broke, so much debt, then they're doing their darndest to load up gifts.

I Googled "People who max out credit cards for Christmas" then Gemini responded with.

"Many people max out or accumulate significant credit card debt during the Christmas holiday season due to social pressure, stress, and a "buy now, pay later" mentality. In late 2024, nearly half of U.S. credit card holders anticipated maxing out at least one card by the end of the holiday season, and many were still paying off debt from the previous year.

Key Insights

Prevalence of Holiday Debt: A significant portion of consumers use credit to fund holiday purchases. In one survey, 96% of cardholders who already carried a balance still planned to spend on gifts.
Reasons for Overspending: Overspending is often driven by a desire to bring joy after a difficult year, social expectations, and a lack of proper financial planning. The high stress and anxiety of the season can also lead to impulsive spending decisions.

Demographics: Those most likely to take on debt for the holidays include parents of young children, millennials, and individuals in certain income brackets.

Consequences: Maxing out credit cards, especially high-interest ones, can lead to long-lasting debt that is difficult to climb out of, potentially impacting long-term wealth building. High credit utilization (how much credit you use relative to your limit) can also negatively affect your credit score, even if you pay the balance off monthly.
The Debt Cycle: Many people fall into a cycle where they are still paying off one year's holiday debt when the next holiday season arrives."

Normally people avoid overextending themselves financially, but then Christmas comes around and they just have to be a hot shot cause it's so important to get the gifts or else no happiness. Fuck the reasons, for some it's all about the getting tbh, but either way it's unwise, and it does stress the hell out of people.

You know Legga, if the Christmas gifts, the food and accessories what have you, got grinched. Noone is going to be holding hands and singing with their heads in the clouds because it's Christmas day.

Hmm.... 

Yes if you get indebted for Christmas, it sounds terrible. Ive never been in debt, so I cant relate. None of my family members would be idiotic enough to max out their credit card to buy Christmas gifts. It sounds like what an idiot would do.

I spent like 1000 USD on my wedding. My wife was happy. It was enough for us. I got some ikea candles and took her out to see the full moon. My parents didn't want to pay for the flight ticket, and I didn't want to pay either, so we skyped them in for like 10 minutes. Then we also skipped her cultural customs, which sounded to me super ridiculous. Her parents weren't very happy, but now they are happy, because they know I'm very responsible and dependable. They wanted me to spend 3 months salary on her engagement ring, and wanted this reverse dowry where I give them like 100k USD. They're nice people, but I laughed pretty hard when I heard that.

Just the way it is.

You've got to do some things for your family even if youre lazy as fuck. It's the people who raised you and your significanr other. If you dont enjoy it, at least show some respect. This is why children need to be beaten, because otherwise they grow up without appreciating what people have done for them, and without the ability to respect others.

If someone wants to skip Christmas, and the family has an issue with it, that's some MK Ultra level mind control.

If someone has a fit cause so add so never made it. That's part of the programming. It's not healthy.

This is why children need to be beaten, because otherwise they grow up without appreciating what people have done for them, and without the ability to respect others.

 Children should be beaten for the right reasons. For malicious wrong doing.

A child will never appreciate a parent if the lesson behind the beating is over a lack of appreciation.

I'm glad I'm unshakled from holidays. Last year I had some Christmas dinner at a friend's mistress's place. We had beef wellington. They know I don't fuck with holidays but they insisted I go.

8 year boy is showing me this little rollercoaster he got, and this RC plane. I did give him and desk and a TV but not on that day.

Food and Monopoly. It would've been like a normal gathering except everyone was under a spell.

What reality? Women are not often interested in science. However, those that are, they tend to be better. 

My very best student is still male. He completed his PhD also in record time. 

What I'm referring to is the average. The large majority of men are kind of useless, and theres less of those in the women category. I think it's the same with black people, despite the lower average IQ. The black people who end up in science tend to be smarter than the average white students, by virtue of really wanting to make it.

If you go outside of the NBA top level players, you find that the races are pretty mixed. There are plenty of excellent players, and nobody wants them so you get them cheap. Plus, women are just better, they're easier to work with. Sorry, I like women. Sue me.

My girl students would intellectually destroy you too.

If your family is planning a reunion, and you want to just play PS5 at home instead, then youre a lazy brat who wasnt beaten enough as a kid, in my opinion. Who do you think raised you? Do you think they rather changed your diapers, took you to doctor when you needed it, and skipped sleep at night becausw you were crying, instead of playing ps5? Do you think they did it cause they think it's fun to sniff your poop? Where's your respect for your parents?

You think so? So you would never beat a child who was indifferent to their parents, to their school, to life in general? 

They go to school and see someone drowning... Could call 911, but, why bother? It's not their problem, things will work themselves out. An innocent girl drowns.

So no punishment?

My relationship is professional. The age difference and societal expectations, and my disgust of professors who involve themselves with their students is enough of a deterrent for me not to answer that question. It's more like having a daughter, but older. You want to see them succeed.

While there are great female scientists, they are far and few between. The field remains male dominated as a matter of fact.

I feel sorry watching WNBA games. Female college baseball is adorable, the diamond and field is so tiny so they can hit home runs, and they throw windmill pitches.

My girl students would intellectually destroy you too.

Knowledge and intelligence are 2 different things. Also if they're very intelligent it wouldn't be because of you, and I honestly don't have to worry about them.

I don't have a PS5.

A family reunion isn't Christmas in my world, freakin no one does it. My extended family is also very large, so a reunion would be like an expensive wedding. Plus our grandparents are gone.

It's okay to not like Christmas dude. It doesn't mean I'm spoiled. I'd even argue skipping holidays is the complete opposite of spoiled. 

The look at you, belittling people who don't want to participate, calling them lazy and shit. I'm glad I'm not obligated by anyone to celebrate, that's pretty sad imo

Children should be beaten for the right reasons. For malicious wrong doing.

Beating them for those reasons wouldn't change their mind. 

Like, when I was a child I'd do Christmas. Today no one really gives a shit if I skip holidays. Halloween means nothing to me either. I don't dress up, and these days the kids don't even trick or treat like we used to.

To me Christmas traditions are childish. Parents lie to children and the masses over consume. It's also a pagan holiday faking to be a Christian one. Demons man.

They go to school and see someone drowning... Could call 911, but, why bother? It's not their problem, things will work themselves out. An innocent girl drowns.

So no punishment?

 At this point you're making up more scenarios. Hold still.

If a child doesn't like something like a holiday, that would be very unusual, but it's no reason to beat them.

Beating children for the wrong reasons will make them resent you when they're older. 

Me not participating in holidays isn't disrespectful to anyone. To your family sure. Looks like the twilight zone to me though, like some spirit possession or something.

 But. Obedient and trainable women make the best companions for a man.

Plus a happy woman in a relationship is a submissive one. If not watch out for who she's submissive to.
