You lie all the time which for a 69yo is sad.

Again, I never lie here, so that's a failure on you to understand a person. Thinking you know someone from this forum is naive. How you act can show how you possibly are in real life, but people put on masks here, as they do in person, and again, you assuming you know someone well from just this is ignorance.

The internet is like alcohol. It enhances their personality.

Nearly a dozen posts already, not one of them on topic. Just whining, arguing, and politics. Out of courtesy, why don't you at least answer the OP?

In your mind maybe, but to everyone else, that's only a tiny percentage of what a person is, and how they think.You can only judge them on political views and hobbies, which happens to be none of your business because that's, personal. Their personality type only comes out if you are interacting with them in person. That you believe everything you read shows naivete.

Nah people are pretty repetitive. People often repeat the same mistakes in life. Thats why divorces are high. Most people never change. 50% of behaviour is sub concious.

Somethings are grey but certain aspects are black and white. Anyone who says they never lie is a massive liar as all humans lie.

Well, that's true, everyone lies one way or the other, that's human and will not change, but we will face something in the future that will not lie, but only work out from knowledge based on history and machine learning in all aspects and fields. AI is the future, and if we want to know how it is going to be, we must look to China where things escalating rapidly those days as week speaking

How ironic cause you think that. You put other posters down a lot. You never met Malc but abused him a lot

Where am I putting other posters down a lot? I call out, and prove wrong, a few, like you, because your only reason for coming here is to antagonize others, and putting you in your place is necessary, so others don't fall for your MO. That other acts exactly like you. They get information, and turn it around to make themselves feel superior, not realizing just how ignorant you sound. But keep it up, as the more people that join these discussions see you for how you really are. You can't hide history in writing.

You never proved anyone wrong. Typing up 300 words of nonsense is just for your ego and boredom. To prove someone wrong you need scientific links and you have none.

Better you spend more time researching than coming here and using shallow information for your own agenda. Assuming how things are from a little bit of reading and other's opinions isn't near as good as actually studying a subject from all facets.

I have no need to feed my ego. I'm unlike yourself who needs to put others down so they feel better. I proved you wrong every time for the simple fact that I know more than you about those subjects. Of course you believe otherwise. You aren't a researcher but a troll, again just here to argue for the hell of it. By the way, I always post links from proven studies, and not certain people's opinions.

Repeating the same mistakes in a marriage is a significant factor that can lead to divorce. Over time, partners may grow impatient and intolerant if they feel their spouse continues to make the same errors despite promises to change. These recurring behaviors—such as criticism, poor communication, or financial mismanagement—are often rooted in deeply ingrained brain patterns formed through past experiences, like trauma or upbringing. For example, someone raised by a critical parent may unconsciously repeat that behavior in their marriage. Without specific training to change these patterns, individuals are likely to repeat the same mistakes during the divorce process, such as being critical of lawyers or negotiating poorly.

Research shows that people often repeat these behaviors in subsequent relationships, contributing to high divorce rates in second and third marriages—60% and 65%, respectively. This cycle occurs because the underlying emotional and behavioral patterns remain unchanged. Experts emphasize setting proper expectations that former partners will likely exhibit the same traits during separation and recommend using alternative dispute resolution (like mediation or collaborative law) to manage conflict more effectively. The key to breaking the cycle is recognizing these patterns and seeking professional help to change them.

I don't consider how many days I have won on ASEAN - one or two from memory - to be any measure of the life I have.

I call a spade a spade. If some posters have a problem with that, it's their problem, not mine.

You do not say. Do you think there is anyone really like that around? Wow. I do wonder how they would even get through life like that.

I didn't even know I won a day before now!

That's incredible considering how many down votes I usually gets.

Does down votes count as well?

We all comes out as stupid <deleted>nuts when we start arguing where there is not much room for ending the conversation in time.

Some is better to create the negative hook, where there is a fight for the last word.

So??

The fact that anyone knows how many days they "won" = get a freakin' life!

AI analyze og you statement, do you agree?

That phrase means someone's overblown reactions or need for attention stem from deep-seated feelings of inadequacy, and the speaker questions why anyone would get caught up in such self-centered drama instead of focusing on real things, highlighting how ego often masks insecurity and creates unnecessary conflict. Essentially, it's saying: "That's just your fragile self-importance talking, born from fear; why get involved in such trivial, self-absorbed issues?".

Well if your English were a bit more fluent then you’d understand that the ai you crutched on was reflecting your statement that was cited on my post.

If the 'leaderboard' appears to have gone 'lefty', maybe that's because there's a lot of disillusioned 'righty' members who have been either stunned (or more likely embarrassed) into a mortified forum silence.

Happens.
