Hello elf pals,

Saw this article while I was at work the other day and thought of you all. I'm not as active in Norrath anymore but I read RNF and try to stay up on the discord. Take it for what it's worth, hope everyone has fun killing the Vulaks, Doze, KT and whatever else is cool these days. *Cheers*

when your guild is killing raid targets, getting loot, and you are logged in every night, for every fight.

But then the other guild keeps winning

so you log off for a bit... till things start dropping again.

The OP should find better sources, lol. The dumbass clicked through 26 slides to make that list. You know he spends his time like that because he doesn’t have any friends, right? Not that I’d be friends with that loser. Even though I have over a thousand friends on Facebook, I wouldn’t be his friend there because don’t want to lower my standards. Don’t bother replying — I won’t.

You brought this on yourself, OP. I’ve looked through your post history, and you’re the by far the worst poster here. Everyone else is too nice to tell you how much they think you suck, but they all think it. Fucking dumbass.

I’m sorry. I get like this when there’s truly bad posts like yours in RnF. It’s really bad. I was planning on being nice to you, but then I read this. You know I’m right about all this. I don’t see how it could be worse. My posts are great, though.

Don’t be a baby, you’re fine. Holy shit though, did you really click through 26 slides to make that list? Give me your phone number, and I’ll give you some writing advice. I’m a pretty big deal in the publishing industry. Also, how the fuck is this shitty getting so many replies?

I've read a book or two on this subject.



The [digestive or] GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.


Coliforms are bacteria that are always present in the digestive tracts of animals, including humans, and are found in their wastes. They are also found in plant and soil material.


Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria normally live in the intestines of healthy people and animals. Most varieties of E. coli are harmless or cause relatively brief diarrhea. But a few particularly nasty strains, such as E. coli O157:H7, can cause severe abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting.


You may be exposed to E. coli from contaminated water or food — especially raw vegetables and undercooked ground beef. Healthy adults usually recover from infection with E. coli O157:H7 within a week, but young children and older adults have a greater risk of developing a life-threatening form of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome.


Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of E. coli O157:H7 infection typically begin three or four days after exposure to the bacteria, though you may become ill as soon as one day after to more than a week later. Signs and symptoms include:


Diarrhea, which may range from mild and watery to severe and bloody
Abdominal cramping, pain or tenderness
Nausea and vomiting, in some people





Many non-O157 STEC infections are not diagnosed. Patients with more severe illness are generally more likely to seek medical care and to have stool specimens tested to determine the cause of illness. Non-O157 STEC are a diverse group of bacteria that vary in virulence. There are two general types of Shiga toxins, Shiga toxin 1 and Shiga toxin 2. Strains may carry one Shiga toxin or both at the same time. Strains that produce Shiga toxin 2 tend to be more virulent. Even among the more virulent STEC strains, many infections go undiagnosed.
Guidelines to ensure as complete as possible detection and characterization of STEC infections include the following:


All stools submitted for testing from patients with acute community-acquired diarrhea should be cultured for STEC O157. These stools should be simultaneously assayed for non-O157 STEC with a test that detects Shiga toxins or the genes encoding these toxins.
Clinical laboratories should report and send E. coli O157 isolates and Shiga toxin-positive samples to state or local public health laboratories as soon as possible for additional characterization.
Specimens or enrichment broths in which Shiga toxin or STEC are detected, but from which O157 STEC are not recovered should be forwarded as soon as possible to a state or local public health laboratory so that non-O157 STEC can be isolated.
Often, by the time a patient presents with HUS, the causative STEC can no longer be easily isolated from a stool specimen. For any patient with HUS without a culture-confirmed STEC infection, stool can be sent to a public health laboratory or to CDC through their public health laboraotory for immunomagnetic separation (IMS) techniques that can increase the sensitivity of culture. In addition, with prior approval, serum can be sent through a state public health laboratory to CDC for serological testing for antibodies to some STEC serogroups.

The benefits of adhering to the recommended testing strategy include early diagnosis, improved patient outcome, and detection of infections caused by all STEC serotypes.


All patients with Shiga toxin-positive diarrheal illness or otherwise butthurt should be reported to health departments.


I'm reporting you.

People aren't toxic, but behavior can be.

And when people behave in a toxic manner it reveals pain and frustration from other aspects of their life.

If you engage in toxic behavior, take a step back and reflect. Find the origin of your pain (likely repetitive judgment or tasks left undone or both) and improve yourself.

If someone else engages in toxic behavior, don't add to the unpleasantness, instead recognize they are in pain and don't seek to exacerbate it.

To knowingly and repeatedly lie until other people believe lie. I don't think it's gaslighting if the person legit believes what they are saying, even if it's incorrect. I think actual gaslighting is more about intent to deceive.

5-second wikipedia search:


Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, gaslighting involves attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's belief.

What's that even got to do with an actual gas light though?

The term originated from the 1938 Patrick Hamilton play Gaslight and its 1940 and 1944 film adaptations, in which the gas-fueled lights in a character's home are dimmed when he turns the attic lights brighter while he searches the attic at night. He convinces his wife that she is imagining the change. The term has been used in clinical and research literature, as well as in political commentary.

Tethler
06-24-2019, 03:37 AM
ok now try to prove intent. you can't.

sorry for disagreeing

It's probably difficult or impossible to prove without a doubt. But in the cases where someone is presented with irrefutable evidence but continues the lie, one possibility is gaslighting (or some type of mental illness).

Or, when people admit their lie and intent after the fact.

But also, I'm not here to debate the details, I was just defining it, since people seem rather confused about something that can be clarified with a 5-second search.

Jimjam
06-24-2019, 04:59 AM

Fair enough. I also didn't know the etymology of the word. When you asked, I looked it up to find out myself. :)

I've been watching through Star Wars for my birthday. I'm on episode V. Is the way Han interacts with Leia gas lighting?

Happy birthday!

I'm no expert, but my simplistic understanding of the concept boils down to causing people to doubt their reality through the repetition of some falsehood. Like that old saying, repeat a lie enough times and it becomes truth...or however that goes.

As for Star Wars episode V, it's actually been several years since I've seen it, so I'm not entirely sure which interactions you're referring to.

The levels of manifestation are:

1. Supernal: spirit / divine
2. Transcendental: thoughts and emotions
3. Terrestrial: the physical world / energy

All levels coexist. A change in one level resonates with the others, and a strong enough resonance induces change in the others. Therefore, an intention focused through a strong mental state will have a powerful enough combined resonance between the supernal and transcendental realms to bring about change in the physical world.

lets break this down.....

- Giving unsolicted advice
Not really toxic is it? its just one of those unwanted things. But i would argue this is not toxic.

- Insulting others
toxic
- Spreading gossip
toxic
- Excluding others
So if randy is a better healer than jerry and i choose to have randy in my group to better my chances of success then im being toxic to jerry. No, be a better healer jerry. Just becuase you get excluded, does not mean that your being treated with a toxic mentality. Maybe you suck, Maybe your an asshole, or maybe your the toxic one and your being excluded for that reason. Stop being a freaking snowflake and get gud.
- Constantly talking about themselves
So, i should have a poor self esteem and no care about myself. If im good at something your going to here about it. If im sexy your going to here about it. Thats not toxic, thats opinionated. (i however am not really all that great nor am i sexy, so i digress)
- Giving the silent treatment
So poor Johnny cant stand to be ignored. Did johnny do something to deserve the silent treatment. Is Johnny an asshole. or is Johnny just a snowflake with napolean complex issues that need to be stroked and cant be ignored. Not Toxic People
- Refusing to take ownership of their behavior
This is Toxic. Be a man or woman, and own up to yer good and bad things. You will respect yourself more and others will respect you for it in the end.
- Lying
Toxic. Cant stand a liar!!!
- Gaslighting
If you abuse your spouse physically mentally or emotionally, you deserve to be burned alive at the stake like the witches of old. Before you pass out from the smoke that your own body fat will produce, you should have your balls snatched off by a 20 ton winch. Thats all i got to say about that. TOXIC
- Verbal abuse
See Above....Toxic
- Rarely apologizing
Toxic, i guess, but seriously, at some point the use of the word Toxic has to quit being a catch-all for every little thing that people dislike.
- Emotional blackmail
Toxic
- Judging others
Toxic, i suppose again, SEE ABOVE
- Being a fair weather friend
Thats not a friend, and if your too blind, or just dont care enough about yourself than to allow this, then im sorry but, you should sequestor yourself from society until you have more self esteem.
- Always having to be right
Personality flaw, slighty toxic i suppose
- Constant negativity
Easy fix for this, stop hanging out with them, remove them from your life. You hold the power to stop this. Therefore, i would say not toxic, and the only thing toxic about this is you allowing yourself to be around it.
- One-upping others
Since when did competition become toxic....I mean i get it, theres always that one guy, thats always gonna say, oh yeah, well i got such and such...... but is that really toxic, or is it rather a call for help from someone who is actually pathetic and is unsure where they truly fit into society, so they lie, cheat steal, and brag to try and fit in. Once again, Low Self-esteem.
- Minimizing other's feelings
This one I got to call bullshit. Some people are just not wired to be empathetic. This is not really toxic folks, it's more like some people just cant process their feelings the way others do, so they compartmentalize them, as to not overload there own emotional relays. This is not toxic, but imho, anyone that thinks this is toxic, does not understand emotional psychology, at any level.
- Constant criticism
I suppose in this day and age this is considered toxic. I welcome critisism for the most part. Its how i grow.
- Not respecting boundaries
More creepy than toxic, wouldn't you say.
- Bragging
Another person that needs an inflated self importance to survive, not toxic, more like pathetic.
- Jealousy
Not secure with themselves, there own abilities and or there loved one. Again not toxic, just pathetic
- Losing your temper
I guess by this standard, most everyone in the world is toxic.
- Manipulating others
- Being inconsistent
Now your just nitpicking... Being inconsistent... some people are just not wired to be consistent. They are more than likely very good down to earth and honorable people...

My final thoughts... Who ever posted this(i think it said on msnbc?) is a toxic freaking snowflake. I mean seriously, by definition of the above points, people who call people toxic are toxic. its a never ending loop of toxicity. Just grow some thivker skin and i promise, you'll all be fine.
