This isn't was gaslighting is though? Like many things nowadays it's being misused I guess but it'd often be the opposite. Usually it's someone in the wrong applying pressure on the other person to get them to admit/think that they're in the wrong instead, which then would result in the first person being "right". Like "I beat my wife but she's such a bitch she gets on my nerves and I just can't control myself, I'm a totally cool guy otherwise it's just her making me like that" kind of thing. Shit happens a lot in the domestic violence situations and in the bad parents/adult children relationships(also mother-in-law and such).
I mean, you're using it in a context where it could make sense to have the term used. I am not involved in many domestic abuse situations so I cant speak to how often its used in that context.

What I know for damn sure is approximately half the women I know use it on a damn near daily basis anytime they're told theyre in the wrong. As soon as you point out why they're crazy or wrong they say you're gaslighting them.

We were so bored during the "two weeks to flatten the curve" that turned into a year, my wife and I painted a court on our driveway. It was actually a lot of fun.

So what you're saying is, you've identified a lot of woman that can now be completely ignored and out of your life.

CAE (amber alerts) and EAN/NPT (presidential alerts) cannot by turned off by design for the encoder at the headend.

You mean just the cable boxes, right? On my phone I can turn off everything but presidential alerts.

Gaslighting.

Main thing that pisses me off about that phrase is that there's a much better and more modern reference we could be making. It should be called three-lighting dammit.

Gas lighting is when someone tries to convince you that something didnt happen or it happened a different way from what you remember.

The intent behind this is to manipulate you.

And thats what I'm getting at. When some bitch tries to tell you something that didnt happen, or happened a different way then she remembered, and you correct her, now all of a sudden you're the bad guy for "gaslighting"her. Fuck the phrase and anyone who uses it unironically.

Right.

stb (cable boxes) should be tied to a FIPS code. Any alert that gets sent decoded at the headend will typically be tied to a FIPS code so the correct location is displayed.

The encoder itself even with admin privileges or root access shouldn’t have the ability to turn off the codes I listed. The user (STB) at the very least should be able to acknowledge the alert and move on.

but that means each updates been thoroughly tested for all STB clients and no wonky shit has happened.

yeah right. CAEs complicate things a bit further because they can be really long calls too and the backend tries to bring up the original stream but the call is still open. Same thing with audio not wanting to join correctly.

I’m not sure why CAEs can be turned off from wireless but not from a tv provider. Some fcc rule. They have funny codes in there too like the shit you saw in Hawaii with missle alerts.

the +4 on your zip code.
Fuck that thing for the love of god.

My cities' utility web interface requires you to enter the +4 digit zip code for logging into to pay your bill.

When you go to confirm your payment info it specifically requires only a 5 digit zip code, it will error out if you give it the +4.

Absolute retardation.

This is quite a bit beyond rustled but here goes.

My 2nd sister lives in Chicago, Hyde Park, and has for a very long time. She's basically a saint as a person. We've tried to get her to move but she is a year or two or from retirement and just wants to finish out. She went to the hairdresser yesterday and later that evening has a very bad neck ache and the worst migraine of her life. She isn't prone to hyperbole. She woke up blind in one eye which resolved a couple hours later but she still had the headache and neck pain. 4 of our siblings are doctors and a few of us work in the industry with extensive experience all over hospitals. We all basically begged her to hit the ER. I wasn't in the loop until after she got there, the rustling part.

They triage nurse saw her and said, well the eye resolved so that is good, it's about a 6.5 hour wait. She called me. Unfortunately I have a lot of experience with modern ERs. I told her point blank ERs in major cities don't do any triage beyond the basics and if they aren't moving someone with a possible stroke or aneurism in pretty quickly I'd go home and call an ambulance. I'd lie and tell them my past symptoms as if they were happening right now and get fucking seen before all the fat fucks with belly aches. She didn't do that, she stayed. They moved her wait time to 10.5 hours. Sometime in the morning she gave up and got an appointment with a doctor later today. Her condition is getting worse as time goes on. Yeah, I'm rustled. This is a quick CT and resolution thing. I suspect this the an equity hospital where Whites are moved to the back of the line but who knows, maybe they are just bad at their jobs. I'm an 8 hour drive from her and here I am wishing I had made the drive because it turns out I actually had the time.

Anyhow, if you find yourself in the position of needing to go to the ER with something that isn't a heart attack or gunshot and need to be seen quickly, just call an ambulance. At least you have a chance of being seen.

Your healthcare system on socialism and wokism. My mother ran into that the other day.

She had to go to a endocrinologist for some blood work for her thyroid but more or less had to pick one at random as her doctor didnt suggest any. Goes to the endocrinologist and the doctor wants to start doing a bunch of other stuff other than the blood work which as all my mom needed. Mom stops the doctor and tells her hey Im just here for blood work which confuses the doctor so the doctor leaves to see what the mixup is, never returns. My mom ends up trying to find another non retarded endocrinologist but apparently there is a few month wait time to see one.

After that though she was supposed to go get some xrays. Shows up at the place to get them and is told the xray machine is down until further notice.

This is our society imploding in real time. Problem is its so fucking big and so few people can put two and two together few see it happening.

Bull Burr said he did mushrooms and that's why he's not so angry all the time anymore. And also that he likes not being an angry cunt on stage anymore

Wife and I saw him a few months back. Seemed closer to classic Bill Burr than the last 5 years. He was shitting on liberals for losing Roe v Wade in a very liberal state. I'm not sure I need angry cunt Bill Burr, just calling people on their shit Bill Burr.

But, maybe we aren't good judges. We watched Red Rocks special on Netflix afterwards. Completely different routine but still enjoyable. I seem to recall that being poorly received here.
