05:20 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I'm asking ChatGPT questions about MARISOL's behavior.
05:20 DaemonFC; I already suspected she was an extreme NPD case, and now I'm pretty damned sure it couldn't be anything else.
05:21 schestowitz[TR]; we were just talking about nurses in #boycottnovell-social
05:21 *techuser has quit (connection closed)
05:22 *techuser (~techuser@xxf27t5fazauy.irc) has joined #techrights
05:22 mjg59_; You're using the thing you said was a bad thing to diagnose mental conditions in other people?
05:22 DaemonFC; According to ChatGPT's answers it would be typical for a person with severe NPD to have been abused as a child, neglected emotionally by their parents. They might make grandiose threats that they don't even believe they could do as a form of crude manipulation, such as when Maricel threatened to have the State of Illinois revoke my driver's license or have me arrested for not paying my credit cards.
05:22 DaemonFC; It says that in marriage, a person with severe NPD may look for people they consider to be beneath themselves or easily controlled.
05:23 DaemonFC; They may delight in humiliating or criticizing them constantly to run down their perception of themselves.
05:23 DaemonFC; The partner with NPD will frequently commit adultery.
05:24 DaemonFC; While they lack true commitment to their spouse and degrade them in private, publicly they seek out marriage partners of higher social status so that the Narcissist may boost their own self-esteem.
05:25 DaemonFC; The marriage is parasitic, and the Narcissist will even use their own children as pawns to trap the spouse to prevent the spouse from filing for divorce.
05:25 DaemonFC; Maricel displays all of these traits.
05:26 DaemonFC; As well as a general need to be admired. She will use this before she turns to threats and violence.
05:26 DaemonFC; If you don't admire her, and especially if you criticize her or her spouse (because that's her job), she will resort to having an emotional outburst with the aforementioned grandiose threats.
05:27 DaemonFC; She lacks stability in her career, as you can see if you look at her LinkedIn page.
05:28 DaemonFC; While she has kept the Cancer Hospital job for a while, they've busted her ass down from Full Time Nurse Navigator to a part time ICU nurse on the graveyard shift. Her debts have forced her to seek out a second job.
05:29 DaemonFC; She's extremely arrogant and self-centered, and must be the focus of attention in a room. If you take the spotlight off of her, she'll move aggressively to take it right back.
05:29 DaemonFC; She hijacked MY wedding and moved the reception to the restaurant that SHE wanted to go to.
05:30 DaemonFC; I knew what was happening, and I didn't stop her because I needed her to play ball on something else for a while.
05:30 DaemonFC; I waited patiently and made my move when we no longer needed her.
05:31 DaemonFC; Sometimes it's better to just get out of people's way and let them impose on you if you're leading them on. She's so smug that she didn't even notice me because it didn't occur to her that she was dealing with a Machiavellian.
05:31 *mib_yo2xzs (~d4452d15@q8ban9vyag5t6.irc) has joined #techrights
05:31 DaemonFC; I'm more of a lose the battle but win the war type of guy.
05:32 DaemonFC; She'll lose the war just to throw a fit and knock over the board.
05:32 DaemonFC; I measure success in the long run laying the foundation, spending years getting things where I need them to be.
05:33 DaemonFC; If it takes 3.5 years to deal with something but you could also blow it and lose everything in a day, why would you rush?
05:33 DaemonFC; Take years. Dismantle the threat, piece by piece, and move on.
05:34 DaemonFC; I do understand how to play the long game.
05:35 DaemonFC; It took me 3.5 years but the end result is that as of today I have achieved the same result as going to trial in 2019 and beating the charges and walking down the courthouse steps a free man. The difference is, trying to attack the problem that way could have been disastrous.
05:36 DaemonFC; They thought they would get me back and with a signed confession by imposing all sorts of stipulations on my Supervision terms, but I let them think that they were getting more than they were.
05:36 *mib_yo2xzs has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
05:36 DaemonFC; By the time anyone found out what I had done it was way too late to stop me.
05:37 DaemonFC; I don't believe that anyone from the prosecutor's office looked at anything the Probation department had to say, much less the judge.
05:37 DaemonFC; Literally everything in court is wham bam done.
05:38 DaemonFC; They don't have time for you. You get like two minutes on the witness stand and they're off to something else.
05:38 DaemonFC; Nobody objected to my petition so the files are now erased.
05:38 DaemonFC; <mjg59_> You're using the thing you said was a bad thing to diagnose mental conditions in other people?
05:38 DaemonFC; It was interesting.
05:39 DaemonFC; I had it run simulations of the proceedings and coach me on how to present my testimony in court.
05:48 *mib_yo2xzs (~d4452d15@q8ban9vyag5t6.irc) has joined #techrights
05:50 DaemonFC; mjg59_, In some ways it's useful in other ways it barely works at all.
05:50 DaemonFC; I would call ChatGPT an unreliable narrator that is just maddeningly unhelpful at times.
05:51 DaemonFC; Could it potentially become more useful than a search engine or digital assistant? Yes. But it would take a lot of resources to scale, and a lot of improvements to its code and database.
05:52 DaemonFC; I believe it's more likely to stagnate and wither after Microsoft spends billions of dollars and ends up with something fairly useless as far as how they can make money on it.

05:54 TR Bot; 6 Signs, Examples & Ways To Deal With It | mindbodygreen
05:54 DaemonFC; I scored a 96/100 on the Mach-IV test.
05:55 DaemonFC; There's nothing inherently evil about being manipulative or deceitful because people are not inherently good and like to be told what they want to hear.
05:56 DaemonFC; What would be evil would be using dishonest tactics to inflict harm on others and especially just for the Hell of it or because it amuses you.
05:56 DaemonFC; That would be an antisocial personality disorder.
05:57 DaemonFC; I don't see anything wrong with dishonest and unethical behavior by the standards of "society" as a term of shorthand, but rather when you inflict harm on innocents or in pursuit of some evil ends.
05:57 DaemonFC; It's possible to do good by being dishonest, by lying, and manipulation.
05:57 DaemonFC; If you deploy these tactics against evil people who are trying to harm you, you haven't done anything wrong.
05:57 DaemonFC; You just did what they would do to you and got them first.
05:58 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Do you know how many people kill themselves because the police have filed criminal charges against them?
05:58 DaemonFC; People who have done nothing wrong.
05:59 DaemonFC; The courts and the judges sit there every day ruining the lives of people who have done nothing wrong, and they sleep like babies.
05:59 DaemonFC; That's evil. That's wrong. That's dishonest.

06:00 DaemonFC; High Machs are usually successful in what we choose to do because we'll take shortcuts, avoid ethical entanglements, (usually) spot a backstabber pretty quickly.
06:01 DaemonFC; But we're not perfect.
06:01 DaemonFC; There's no guarantee that a High Mach is also of high intellect. They may just be unscrupulous.
06:01 DaemonFC; So you tend to find a lot of us as business managers and lawyers.
06:01 DaemonFC; And since you find them as lawyers, they're the ones who run the courts.
06:02 DaemonFC; Saul Goodman is probably a good example of a High Mach.
06:03 DaemonFC; He didn't get away with it forever, but man he flew pretty high by doing despicable things both openly and privately (where it was a crime).
06:03 DaemonFC; It was just a TV show, but he's a good fictional example of a High Mach.
06:04 DaemonFC; He doesn't start out as a bad guy or even a particularly Machiavellian one. Right? His backstory was Jimmy McGill the guy working the copy machine at his brother's law firm.
06:05 DaemonFC; His brother both felt sorry for him and got him a job there, but wouldn't let him practice law because he looked down on him for juvenile antics like shitting into someone's sunroof.
06:05 DaemonFC; Gradually, he changed. He got bitter, he started taking shortcuts. He started manipulating. He started doing subtle things to destroy the people that were getting in his way.
06:06 DaemonFC; So that's a good example of "Made, not born.".
06:06 DaemonFC; Like a psychopath or a narcissist would be, but he went this other way.
06:07 DaemonFC; Expedience is th name of the game. Whatever method gets you from A-B fastest without getting you into more trouble.
06:09 DaemonFC; I did end up grabbing a copy of Law Abiding Citizen. Gets better every time you see it.
06:10 DaemonFC; All the prosecutors do care about is their precious conviction rates. They bandy about terms like "in the interests of justice" and "what's best for justice" but they don't give a fuck.
06:10 DaemonFC; If they did, they WOULD stop making deals with criminals. They WOULD drop cases against people who just aren't that bad, and they would go after the seriously bad people with everything they could muster.
06:11 DaemonFC; But THEY take shortcuts, THEY lie in court, THEY tamper with witnesses, THEY falsify evidence, THEY introduce more charges than what actually happened.
06:11 DaemonFC; And they are cynics.
06:11 *techuser has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
06:11 DaemonFC; They do everything they can possibly do to make a mockery out of their own system.
06:13 DaemonFC; They try to keep their conviction rates at 97-98%. They go back to the voters and say how tough on crime they are. There's never been MORE crime.
06:14 DaemonFC; They've been saying this shit forever. Tough on crime, tough on crime, bullshit. It ebbs and it flows and it has nothing to do with them.

07:35 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], So I've been asking hypotheticals about NPD.
07:36 DaemonFC; It makes sense now.
07:37 DaemonFC; I asked it if a Narcissist would have children to use as pawns to prevent their spouse from leaving them due to fear of what the divorce case would look like.
07:37 DaemonFC; It said that's a strong possibility, and children add to the Narcissist's sense of self-importance.
07:38 DaemonFC; I asked it if paranoia is likely in a person with NPD, and if it would be typical for them to invest in a home security system and please speculate on why they would.
07:40 DaemonFC; It said that the Narcissist views their spouse as theirs, and they don't want other people coming near them, and a home security system may prevent that at least in the house, and (there are cameras in every room and a Ring doorbell) that although the person with NPD is more prone to being unfaithful themselves, they worry excessively that their spouse will do it to them and humiliate them.
07:41 DaemonFC; So they go to extremes to try to prevent it from happening, to avoid the humiliation.
07:41 DaemonFC; If that's why she has the security system, it would seem to me that she probably also has trackers on all of the cars.
07:41 DaemonFC; And phones.
07:41 DaemonFC; She tracked Mandy's phone.
07:44 DaemonFC; It says the life insurance policy probably served the dual purpose of financial gain and control of Mandy.
07:44 DaemonFC; If he dies, she gets rich. She likes money. But she also views him as property which I stole from her.
07:45 DaemonFC; So in her mind, she is insuring her property and she'll be compensated when he dies.
07:45 DaemonFC; (I shut down the policy and reported her for fraud.)
07:48 DaemonFC; "Theoretically, would a Narcissist who has amassed considerable debt, yet is unable to file bankruptcy, be extremely angry if they hear someone else with debt is filing for bankruptcy?"
07:48 DaemonFC; It's possible that a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) may feel anger or resentment if they hear someone else is able to file for bankruptcy and discharge their debt, while they themselves are unable to do so. People with NPD often have a sense of entitlement and believe that they are entitled to special treatment and privileges, so they may feel that they should not have to face the same financial consequences as others.
07:48 DaemonFC; Additionally, their inflated sense of self-worth and self-importance may make it difficult for them to accept that they are in a difficult financial situation and may cause them to blame others for their problems. It's important to note that this is hypothetical and not all people with NPD react in the same way.
07:50 DaemonFC; "Would a person with NPD typically feel entitled to take out credit cards in their spouse's name and max them all out before their spouse finds out?"
07:50 DaemonFC; A person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder may engage in financial manipulation and abuse in a relationship, including taking out credit cards in their partner's name without their knowledge or consent. This behavior is not specific to NPD, but it is consistent with the pattern of manipulation and exploitation that individuals with NPD may engage in. They may also be resistant to taking responsibility for their financial actions and blame
07:50 DaemonFC; others for their financial problems."
07:56 *techuser (~techuser@tafcpiggv2gsq.irc) has joined #techrights
07:58 DaemonFC; "Would such a person be more prone to hitting their spouse or throwing dishes at him?"
07:58 DaemonFC; People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) may have a tendency to engage in aggressive or abusive behavior towards others, but it is not a given that they will.
07:59 DaemonFC; "If a person with NPD is prone to doing this, what are their likely motivations?"

07:59 DaemonFC; A person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) may be prone to physically or emotionally abusing their partner as a way to assert control and power over them. They may also become violent as a way to punish their partner for perceived slights or to assert dominance. These actions are motivated by the person's need for power and control, as well as their lack of empathy for the feelings of others.

08:00 DaemonFC; "So co-dependent marriage is a strong possibility when one of the partners has NPD."
08:00 DaemonFC; A co-dependent relationship can be one potential outcome in a marriage where one partner has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The partner with NPD may rely on the other partner for validation and self-esteem, while the other partner may feel responsible for the NPD partner's well-being and become increasingly enmeshed in the relationship. Co-dependency can be characterized by a lack of boundaries, difficulty in separating emotionally and a
08:00 DaemonFC; tendency to sacrifice one's own needs for the other person. It's important to note that not all marriages involving someone with NPD will be co-dependent, and that NPD can manifest in many different ways in a relationship.
08:02 DaemonFC; "So the partner without NPD would be further enmeshed in the relationship by the children?"
08:02 DaemonFC; It is possible that a partner without NPD may feel more invested in the relationship due to the presence of children, as they may feel a sense of responsibility to provide a stable home environment for them.
08:02 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], This is painting a pretty sad picture.
08:02 DaemonFC; Maricel has obviously "conquered" Mark with a combination of debt, violence, and children.
08:04 DaemonFC; "So what you're getting at is that a woman who is a severe Narcissist may trap their partner in a co-dependent marriage using a mixture of debt, violence, and the children that they have together?"
08:05 DaemonFC; It is possible that a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder may use tactics such as debt, violence, and manipulation of their partner's emotions and attachment to children in order to maintain control and power in the relationship.
08:06 DaemonFC; "How would such an evil person even love their own children? Are they simply using them as pawns to control their spouse?"
08:06 DaemonFC; It's important to remember that individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) have a distorted sense of self and view themselves as superior to others. They may have difficulty forming genuine emotional connections, including with their own children. They may use their children as a means to an end to further their own goals and desires, rather than truly caring for the well-being of their children. This type of behavior can be
08:06 DaemonFC; emotionally and psychologically damaging to the children, as well as the spouse.

09:17 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: NPD?
09:17 schestowitz[TR]; reminds me of NPC each timee
09:17 schestowitz[TR]; but I know the diffs
09:17 DaemonFC; Yeah, I think Maricel is a NPD case.
09:17 DaemonFC; A bad one.
09:18 DaemonFC; ChatGPT says she likely sees her children as an extension of herself. Not as people.
09:18 DaemonFC; So basically, she's a monster.
09:19 DaemonFC; My thinking is that maybe she caused all of this debt deliberately because how in the hell is Mark going to pay that, plus the stuff for the kids, etc.
09:19 DaemonFC; Plus she's obviously spent the last 20 years breaking him down to the point where he's no longer able, psychologically, to assert himself as an independent person.
09:19 DaemonFC; That's my opinion.
09:20 DaemonFC; She's backstopped everything with something even more horrible.

09:20 DaemonFC; And she's probably using sex as a weapon. Why wouldn't she.
09:20 DaemonFC; But at the same time, making sure he doesn't get it somewhere else.
09:21 DaemonFC; In her mind, she doesn't have a family, she has chattel.
09:23 DaemonFC; I knew what I was dealing with pretty quickly.
09:23 DaemonFC; If you can make a person angry, you can make them stupid.
09:23 DaemonFC; And you can make a Narcissist very angry very quickly.
09:23 schestowitz_pol; keep distance
09:24 DaemonFC; Yeah, no kidding.
09:25 DaemonFC; I asked ChatGPT to hypothesize how a Narcissist would handle a police interrogation and court. Then how a Machiavellian would.
09:25 DaemonFC; It pretty much told me that a NPD type would not handle a police interrogation well.
09:26 DaemonFC; Because in the course of their investigative techniques they would bruise the person's ego and likely provoke them into a confession or damning statements.
09:26 DaemonFC; They tend to rush to defend their inflated sense of self before they consider if what they are doing or saying is a good idea.
09:27 DaemonFC; Which will only get them into more trouble with the police.
09:28 DaemonFC; The Machiavellian, on the other hand, will negotiate a lenient plea deal.
09:28 DaemonFC; That's what ChatGPT said. The Machiavellian will do anything to achieve their goal and they will view court as a game to win.
09:29 DaemonFC; They will likely engage in a charm offensive, not make incriminating statements to the police, lawyer up, and appeal to the judge, jury, and prosecutor.
09:29 DaemonFC; They might use friends or family members in the courtroom.
09:29 DaemonFC; They might lie on the witness stand.
09:30 DaemonFC; They may play up or even invent mental illness to use as a defense or mitigating factor, or to bluff as part of the negotiating process.
09:31 DaemonFC; I asked ChatGPT to hypothesize why a Machiavellian would be married and have pets.
09:32 DaemonFC; They said that a Machiavellian would do those things if it brought them tangible benefits or helped them to deceive or manipulate others, and that even Machiavellians tend to desire companionship.
09:33 DaemonFC; But that Machiavellians tend not to get attached to people because they will harm almost anyone if it becomes necessary to do so.
09:34 DaemonFC; I asked it to elaborate and tell me if that means that Machiavellians are not capable of love. It said that they are, but basically "If it's them or me, then I choose me every time." is what it boiled down to.
09:35 DaemonFC; Machiavellians will take others under their wing (such as a spouse) and defend them using unethical and/or extreme measures as long as that person is important to the Machiavellian's current goals, strategies, safety, or security.
09:37 DaemonFC; Machiavellians are different from Narcissists in two major and important ways. Machiavellians don't necessarily have an inflated sense of self worth or feel compelled to defend it, and they're more logical and calculating. They'll accept low status if it means stability and achieving the goals that they do have and maintain control over their situation.

09:38 DaemonFC; schestowitz_pol, What I found interesting was that ChatGPT says it's not a DSM or ICD listed condition, but rather a set of personality traits.
09:39 DaemonFC; And it is possible to have Bipolar Personality Disorder with Machiavellian Personality Traits.
09:39 DaemonFC; So I suppose that's how I would describe myself.
09:39 DaemonFC; My ex said that I struck him as a Machiavellian and a Libertarian type, and that he noted how much I despised Psychiatrists because I just would not stop talking about how they were quacks.
09:40 schestowitz[TR]; i see
09:40 DaemonFC; That's when he knew me 20 years ago.
09:40 DaemonFC; That's why I looked up Machiavellianism in the first place and took the test for it.
09:40 DaemonFC; 96/100.
09:40 DaemonFC; And it just makes so much sense because I get bored with TV shows if they don't have at least one of us in them.
09:41 DaemonFC; :)
09:43 DaemonFC; Saul Goodman, The Terminator, Dexter, Frank Underwood, Walter White, Darth Vader, Michael Corleone, Loki (Marvel), The Joker, Gaius Baltar (BSG), Hannibal Lecter, V from V for Vendetta.....
09:44 DaemonFC; I liked Dexter, you know. The serial killer that kills criminals that abolutely nobody will miss.
09:45 DaemonFC; He cleans up neatly after himself leaving no evidence behind and works for the police department by day as a consultant, and they're not looking for a serial killer because he has no discernible pattern and he's killing people the cops want rid of anyway.
09:46 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I'm dangerous off of my meds because I have intervals where I lose touch with reality almost completely.
09:46 DaemonFC; And I'm dangerous on my meds because I plan and scheme and know things.
09:46 schestowitz[TR]; ok, I can see that. lol
09:46 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: we are working on some new stuff
09:47 DaemonFC; You know, usually how to fuck with someone like Maricel and get her to stupidly do what I need her to.
09:47 DaemonFC; I asked Mandy what he thought she was "doing right now" after I hung up on her that one night.
09:47 DaemonFC; He said "Probably throwing plates at Mark and screaming FUCK RYAN!!! FUCK HIM FUCK HIM!!!!!!".
09:48 DaemonFC; I said, "Are you kidding me?". "No."
09:49 DaemonFC; Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. He would be a Machiavellian.
09:50 DaemonFC; He admitted he was conspiring with the Emperor to kill the Duke's family but he ultimately planned to "sack him" (the Emperor) too in the end.
09:50 DaemonFC; In all fairness, it would have worked too had he thought anything of Paul. He just saw him as some dumb kid so he dumped him and his mother in the desert to die.
09:51 DaemonFC; There's always something you overlook.
09:51 DaemonFC; It's truly maddening!
09:51 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> DaemonFC: we are working on some new stuff
09:52 DaemonFC; What about, I wonder?
09:52 DaemonFC; Oh, I figured out the percentage of murders the Chicago Police solve if you exclude crimes that solve themselves. (Murder-Suicides, dumb shit they figure out right away, the person confesses and they didn't even have to do anything).
09:52 DaemonFC; 7%.
09:53 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: rss feeds stuff
09:53 schestowitz[TR]; i've used rss feeds the same way for 20 years
09:53 schestowitz[TR]; there should be a better way
09:53 DaemonFC; The biggest problem for them, by far, is that people don't want to cooperate with the police.
09:53 schestowitz[TR]; now that my hard drive died and i rebuild everything I want to experiment with a new approach
09:53 DaemonFC; We has a killing here in Waukegan recently.
09:54 schestowitz[TR]; my aim is to produce many aricles
09:54 DaemonFC; 18 year old shot to death in a park. 100 witnesses got in their cars and sped off.
09:54 schestowitz[TR]; the most time-consuming thing is read rss
09:54 DaemonFC; Cops didn't find a single witness. Nobody saw anything.
09:54 schestowitz[TR]; reduce that, then I have time for other things
09:54 DaemonFC; BtrFS for the new drive? :)
09:55 schestowitz[TR]; when people don't cooperate with cops they need to frame people to meet targets/.expectations
09:55 schestowitz[TR]; or make a fuss
09:55 schestowitz[TR]; to make a scene
09:55 schestowitz[TR]; then arrest
09:55 schestowitz[TR]; which in turn deepens the issue
09:55 schestowitz[TR]; to the point where, in some cities, cops are seen like a domestic enemy
09:55 DaemonFC; Yeah, the cops will just fine someone who is mentally retarded and get them to confess to it because the cop was mean.
09:55 DaemonFC; They like that.

11:12 DaemonFC; I don't try to be bad, I just figure out all of those "Well, it's not illegal. Not my fault the legislature didn't think of this." situations.
11:12 DaemonFC; When I have to make things work that shouldn't.
11:13 DaemonFC; Laws tend to be passed to stop people from moving up in the world and getting things done, which vicious criminals have absolutely no trouble with.
11:16 DaemonFC; I've considered the system and come to the conclusion that this can be the only purpose for the complexity.
11:17 DaemonFC; If you already are rich, you can hire a gaggle of lawyers and accountants to make sure you're complying with the regulations, bribing the right people, and making sure that the leg breakers and arsonists in government don't fuck with you.
11:17 DaemonFC; So government becomes a protection racket.

12:16 DaemonFC; They already almost killed me with the charges.
12:16 DaemonFC; A few times.
12:16 DaemonFC; First there were a dozen armed police officers pointing their guns at me in the middle of the night.
12:17 DaemonFC; Then they took me down to a police station and forced me to strip naked and get into a jumpsuit while they kept me awake all night threatening me and lying to me, to the point I was planning suicide.
12:18 DaemonFC; Then when I got out, they managed to spark a manic episode where I was vomiting, losing my hair, and having sex with strangers from Grindr.
12:18 DaemonFC; I mean, it went on for months.
12:18 *techuser has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
12:19 DaemonFC; Like, until I met Mandy, and I'm sure I was still in a manic episode when I married him.
12:19 DaemonFC; My psychiatrist advised me that it was a major life decision and that he would not recommend doing that.
12:19 DaemonFC; There were other things going on.

12:20 DaemonFC; It probably didn't help that I stopped taking my meds for a while.
12:20 DaemonFC; I figured it would make things easier.
12:21 DaemonFC; If I just stopped taking the medicine, I wouldn't have to think about what was going on and be in pain.

12:21 techuser; schestowitz[TR]: > making tea and osu here | do you mean the video game? I know a person (or maybe two, not sure) who plays/used to play it.
12:22 schestowitz[TR]; osu?
12:22 schestowitz[TR]; it's a japanese beverage/company
12:22 schestowitz[TR]; we got them like 85% off original price
12:24 techuser; Yes, osu.
12:24 DaemonFC; Being off meds can feel good. It's not a great idea.
12:24 DaemonFC; But it's one you have while your life is going bad.
12:25 DaemonFC; "Just stop taking the medication. You can go crazy. You can do anything you want to do."
12:25 DaemonFC; But like, that risks bringing yourself to the attention of the police again.
12:26 DaemonFC; So I'm lucky that I didn't get any of that for the other million things.
12:26 DaemonFC; And most of it was just stupid harmless fun.
12:26 DaemonFC; Stuff that most other people would just laugh at hysterically.
12:27 DaemonFC; Or at the worst, not heinous stuff (Driving 150 miles an hour because I wanted to.). I mean, it's all past the statute now so meh.
12:27 DaemonFC; They say you have no control at that speed.
12:27 DaemonFC; Then they go and sell me a car that can. So whose fault is it really?
12:28 DaemonFC; I made it 60 miles like this and didn't get pulled over.

12:31 DaemonFC; And it worked!
12:32 DaemonFC; I don't have that now.
12:32 DaemonFC; I have the "Oh my God, who brought this guy? He's over there talking about abortion and crime statistics and whether you really need to floss.".

21:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I asked ChatGPT what would happen if two Narcissists got married.
21:30 DaemonFC; And it gave me a blow by blow of dealing with my parents in childhood.
21:30 DaemonFC; Once I added "And what if these people had kids?".
21:32 DaemonFC; I asked it if hoarding pornography would be something one Narcissist spouse would to to assert power over the other one and might the other one resort to infidelity to gain the upperhand themselves, and it said that this was one of the possibilities of how they could treat each other and try to assert dominance. You get two of these people in the sme house (or car), it's like a matter-antimatter reaction.
21:33 DaemonFC; They feed into each other and keep trying to poke the other one in the eye and when that happens it turns into a cycle where the other one always responds not only in-kind, but tries to do something worse to avoid losing dominance.
21:35 DaemonFC; Generally, it says, a married couple like this would be so busy fighting and trying to use these tactics to dominate the other one, that they would likely be fighting in front of the kids all the time and ignore the child's emotional needs entirely and be almost wholly incapable of even trying to bond with their children and form a normal parent-child relationship.
21:35 DaemonFC; I mean, it's so close to how my childhood went it was like chill down your spine type stuff.
21:36 DaemonFC; Mark and Maricel are different.
21:36 DaemonFC; Mark is just a worm who won't fight her back or do anything to leave.
21:36 DaemonFC; The fights burn out when she's done throwing plates and cursing at him, and then he goes to the children and apologizes for her.
21:38 DaemonFC; I remember I was very young and my mom went into the bathroom at our first house (so definitely before 1993) and hit herself a bunch of times and then went and threatened Dad that she'd call the Gas City Police Department and claim spousal abuse if he didn't do something.
21:39 DaemonFC; She didn't exactly work herself over in there but she came out of the bathroom and her face was pretty red from slapping herself around. That's all it takes to file domestic violence charges.
21:39 DaemonFC; So it's exactly where she stopped.
21:39 DaemonFC; I overheard the entire thing including the threats.
21:40 DaemonFC; It's not uncommon to use the police for revenge but they might not actually do it. The threat is meant to be too frightening to not give them what they want.
21:41 DaemonFC; A good response would be to remind them of how much they depend on you and how you being in trouble wouldn't be a great idea. They'll normally stand down at that point and go huff and puff into a corner.
21:42 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], ChatGPT also told me a lot about their church "INC".
21:42 DaemonFC; They're commanded to stay out of court and resolve their disputes within the church itself. Going to court against someone could be grounds for disciplinary action, including removal from the church.
21:43 DaemonFC; (Shunning)
21:43 DaemonFC; This is abusive behavior on the part of their church towards its members.
21:43 DaemonFC; It's exactly what a Narcissist would do. Cut the victim off from social services, family members, etc.
21:44 DaemonFC; ChatGPT says their church has an authoritarian structure and is widely viewed as a cult.
21:44 DaemonFC; I asked it if Narcissistic people are attracted to Authoritarian politics and organizations.
21:45 DaemonFC; It said they are, because they view Authoritarianism as "power" and respect that, and they believe that by associating themselves with powerful things, they will increase their own importance and power.
21:46 DaemonFC; The only way to deal with a Narcissist is to project strength. Unless it suits you to cause them to ignore you or underestimate you, but appearing to be more powerful than they are will make them have reservations about directly threatening you.
21:47 DaemonFC; If they believe that you possess an ability to cause them intense and public humiliation, they'll slink away and tend to bother someone else.
21:47 DaemonFC; They want to dominate everyone, including you, but they won't risk a strong possibility of blowback that they feel could be imminent if they attempt to do so that would humiliate them.
21:48 DaemonFC; This is almost the only way to make one back off. Imply strongly that humiliation is coming if they don't.
21:49 DaemonFC; They don't like to be humiliated. They want to be the ones doing the humiliation.
21:50 DaemonFC; Narcissists come from a position of weakness. They overcompensate for being nobody and nothing by implying that they are all powerful.
21:50 DaemonFC; Maricel never talks about the Philippines or Tondo negatively, and if you do, she will explode.
21:50 DaemonFC; Like, it won't even be words. She'll just become apoplectic and lose the ability to speak temporarily.
21:54 MinceR; lol

22:00 DaemonFC; It's like that with everything though.
22:00 DaemonFC; If you say something bad about anything she does or uses, it will cause the same behavior.
22:00 DaemonFC; Be it an iPhone or a toothbrush.
22:01 DaemonFC; I called her out on her paranoia and everything on the same phone call where I started trash talking the Philippines.
22:02 DaemonFC; I said, "Your stupid dog that you admit bites everyone tried to bite me and I jumped back and you're accusing me of trying to sue you. Paranoia is a way of life for you people, isn't it?"
22:02 *techuser has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
22:03 DaemonFC; So she started listing off the "I am God." speech where she prattled on about how everyone knows how "charitable" she is and "I am beloved by all of my patients!" (like the ones that leave bad Yelp reviews about the hospital mentioning her by name, I guess).
22:03 DaemonFC; And threatening to "have Mandy sent back to the Philippines". So, I said "Oh, no don't do that. I know how horrible things are there and I would never want him to have to go back to that place!".
22:03 DaemonFC; Just to bait her into going even crazier.
22:03 DaemonFC; It worked.
22:04 DaemonFC; I just kept throwing bait out and she kept taking it.
22:04 DaemonFC; And then she did what I figured she would do. She went and hired a crooked attorney and paid them $2,000 to send a petition to USCIS, that didn't matter at all when I was done with the matter.
22:05 DaemonFC; So I goaded her into wasting $2,000 of her own money after convincing her that she would continue to have power and control over Mandy if she sponsored him in the first place.
22:06 DaemonFC; You appeal to their vanity and ego to get them to do things and make it seem like the whole thing will work well for them and then you tear into that vanity and ego when you want them to go away and not bother you anymore.
22:06 DaemonFC; By forcing her to have the meltdown of all time right in front of her brother and screaming nasty threats at him and everything, it made it easier for him to snap out of it and realize that she is psychotic and cannot be trusted, and that I'm the one that he can go to.
22:07 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], See, that's the difference between calculation and blunt force.
22:07 DaemonFC; Narcissists lure people into their orbit and put them into a trance.
22:08 DaemonFC; To get them out of it requires a sort of shock treatment where they clearly become the enemy.
22:08 DaemonFC; And you get them to perform on command by bruising their ego.
22:08 DaemonFC; Narcissists only have a flashy bag of tricks that work on certain types of people.
22:09 DaemonFC; They don't hold up well under close scrutiny.
22:11 phanes; yeah the hallmark is their responses to to shit are personal attacks to undermine the credibility of the people holding them accountable instead of addressing what was said
22:11 phanes; NPD is a big ball of suppressed guilt and self-awareness
22:12 *psydroid2 has quit (connection closed)
22:12 DaemonFC; Mr. Morden on Babylon 5 was a textbook Machiavellian.
22:12 DaemonFC; It's why the Shadows kept him alive.
22:13 DaemonFC; They killed everyone else because they wouldn't collaborate with them to save themselves, and then they got to Morden and he would.
22:13 phanes; well hold on there's a difference between dark triad behaviours and npd
22:15 DaemonFC; Yes, I'm a Machiavellian. I went over this.
22:15 DaemonFC; My mom claimed I was a Narcissist.
22:16 DaemonFC; But I do not believe myself to be superior to others or entitled to special treatment or privileges. I don't actually like Authoritarianism or "raw power".
22:16 DaemonFC; I have goals and I am willing to do things to get there.

22:17 DaemonFC; It was easier to go on a charm offensive with the Probation officer to get her to go easy on me than it was to just shout "You're a dumb bitch and I shouldn't even be here. Ugh, you are so beneath me and I'm going to do whatever the Hell I want.".
22:18 DaemonFC; Narcissists don't get the results they want because they feel it should just be given to them, and their victims don't.
22:19 DaemonFC; A charm offensive is basically harmless. If you kill someone with kindness and make yourself seem personable and get them on your side, they may start working for you or at least stay out of your way without even realizing what it is they're doing.

22:20 DaemonFC; Serial killers taunt the police because it's an example of NPD. There's no logical reason to do it. You'll make them angry. You might even be slipping them clues to toy with them, and then maybe they use that to help catch you.
22:20 DaemonFC; The Zodiac was never caught, but he still made things riskier for himself by flaunting his high intelligence.
22:21 DaemonFC; If he was just some guy going around to parked cars shooting people with a revolver, he would be less likely to be caught. The fact that he never was aside, he took an unnecessary additional risk to flaunt his superiority.
22:24 DaemonFC; Serial killers are sort of the worst case for Narcissists when it comes to crime.
22:24 DaemonFC; They kill in the first place purely as an exercise in "raw power" over others.
22:24 DaemonFC; Taunting the police is just a bonus.
22:28 DaemonFC; According to ChatGPT, people with Machiavellian personalities are more likely to engage in white-collar crimes if they do commit crime at all, but may resort to violence or participation in organized crime "if it serves their goals".
22:29 DaemonFC; People with NPD may engage in white-collar crimes such as embezzlement or fraud to feed their power tripping and lifestyles.
22:29 DaemonFC; But it says they're also more likely to engage in crimes such as arson, vandalism, and physical violence purely for revenge against someone.
22:33 DaemonFC; Me: "So a Machiavellian would be more likely to do a risk-benefit analysis before committing a crime than a Narcissist and would therefore be less likely than the Narcissist to commit an offense that has a high risk of punishment vs. practical gain."
22:33 DaemonFC; ChatGPT: "Machiavellians tend to be more calculated and strategic in their actions, which may make them less likely to engage in criminal behavior that has a high risk of punishment without a commensurate benefit. Narcissists, on the other hand, may be more impulsive and less likely to consider the potential consequences of their actions, which could make them more likely to engage in criminal behavior that has a high risk of punishment.
22:33 DaemonFC; However, it's important to note that both personality types are complex and that the likelihood of criminal behavior can vary depending on the individual and the specific circumstances. Additionally, it's important to note that personality disorders are not exculpatory and that people who commit crimes are still held responsible for their actions."
22:34 DaemonFC; Walter White: "This is not enough money! I am breaking the law here!"
22:34 DaemonFC; B-)

23:04 DaemonFC; Oh, and don't forget to beam mjg59_ out into space when you're finished.
23:05 DaemonFC; MinceR, I loved SG-1 so much more for going THERE with the Asguard transporter. Like, too dark for Star Trek. We're doing this and we're going to wave at them while they suffocate out there to turn it comical.
23:05 DaemonFC; *Asgard
23:05 MinceR; :)
23:06 DaemonFC; The Asgard probably didn't put a safety system in for this because if you're beaming something out into space, it's probably about to damage the ship and THEY would never do something like that by mistake.
23:07 DaemonFC; The system seems to be intelligent enough to recognize the difference between context in beaming a bomb off the ship and trying to beam a bomb as a weapon onto someone else's ship.
23:07 DaemonFC; So there seems to be an element of AI in all Asgard systems.
23:08 DaemonFC; Because how else would a transporter figure out context like this?
