  1. ​ @sunfish7021  Small-time and harmless manipulation makes the world go round. A great deal of it is more costly to the manipulator than the recipient. Often it can quite properly be regarded as 'getting on with people'. People who never do it may very well be seen as unlikeable, blunt, lacking social skills, etc. It's nearly impossible, for example, to cheer someone up without manipulating them. The touchstones are victimization, exploitation, harm, concealed contempt, and whether sincerity fades back out of sight and habits of truthfulness wither.

  2. Better yet was the parting shot when he said "You seemed, like, ok, but it's just getting a little Diane Sawyer-y here." Lovely way to say 'Nothing against you, mate. You were just being an a…….e.'

  3. Cognitive dissonance isn't, as you claim, someone looking at things foolishly. It's the uncomfortable feeling a person gets when their belief is contradicted by what they see.

  5. Bro, your whole spiel has a bit of "methinks he doth protest too much" to it. I mean, you're rather slick yourself.

  6. The perfect cover for a narcissist: warn people about narcissists, point fingers in every direction, make accusations of narcissism, perhaps make a living at it (possibly with a YouTube channel), etc. etc. There have been religious leaders doing the same sort of thing for millennia, thundering from the pulpit about sin and sinners whilst committing unspeakable atrocities under the cover of upright respectability.

  7. Dante's Inferno has an unpleasant circle for this guy, with a nice high number, where 'traitors to well-meaning viewers' go.

  8. The thumbnail ("DON'T OVERDO THIS") is a neat little piece of clickbait craft. Turns out to have nothing to do with the video.

  9. Your videos usually have things of substance in them. What happened here?🤨 Bunch of obvious fluff.

  10. I think the touchstones are victimization, exploitation, harm, and whether sincerity fades back out of sight and habits of truthfulness wither. Strong contempt concealed behind a positive facade also fits in here—except not at work. At work that's just what you have to do. 🤥

  11. Short version: Be nice. Not mentioned: Don't shine a--.

  12. Ok, from now on I'll give lots of credit to stuntmen. Can't wait for it to turn my life around.

  13. This guy works for the CNN of Britain. BBC News having no counterpart in the US, this means that Channel 4, like CNN, is not number one but is the most established cable news station. Anyway, he's almost always like this. An Oxbridge 1%-er of the worst sort (cf. Pulp, 'something-something Socialist') who makes a life out of washing and drying Labour's smalls for them. (Smalls: socks and undies. He does them in the sink, with delectation, like a Waylon Smithers.) Following this, in the manner of Brian Stelter, he immediately goes out for an enormous expensive meal.

  14.  @dannovak3886  Even nearly all who oppose climate alarmism and activism don't dispute that the Earth is warming. You didn't know that? What they oppose is the view that humans are causing it.
