The kind of laughter that doesn't feel good to anybody, because it's done with/for an enemy/opponent.
Nothing he/she/they did made the guy laugh from enjoyment of it, instead the guy was laughing against him/her/them, he didn't think he/she/they were the funny kind of joke..

It's interesting how the Dodgers don't accuse the Rays of cheating, since they beat the Rays. It's also interesting how nobody ever accuses a team like the Dodgers of lying, cheating, or stealing (when they don't get beat).
The Dodgers like the Rays because they didn't get beat by the Rays, so they didn't think the Rays cheated, they thought the Rays played fair baseball. They might not have thought that if they got beat again, there would be all kinds of scandals and whining again in baseball.

The kind of person who tries to take control of other people's lives to gain the sense of control they dont have over themself and their own life.
The impulsive guy/girl didnt have any sense of control without the control being an attempt at control over other people and their lives. He/she seemed to think that he/she was the opposite of the hypocrite everybody else was, that he/she was freeing them from hypocrisy, when really he/she was as much of a hypocrite as anybody else.

Everyone wants what they don't have. You have speed, I have weed. You're nervous about having pills you stole from your brother, I ought to be nervous about having something illegal, but I'm not because I'm stoned. Let's trade so we each get the right thing, you need to calm down, I need to be more paranoid.
I'd like to take some of my brothers speed pills and see if I can make some money on the black market, I'm tired of waiting around hours and hours at work to get paid whatever I'll take for my efforts.

The poser would try both a newcomer image and an established image, in case one or the other failed. She was too much of a coward to fail as herself, failing was for other people.

Some people think there's no difference between a movie, a sports game/match, a show, or an event, and every day reality. Despite all the talk about egos, the reality is who somebody is on a stage, a field/court/ring/octagon/ice, or on a screen is not the same as who they are in every day life, no matter what you read/hear/see about them in a magazine, on TV, or online. There's a lot of illusion in many acts, since anything that isn't who somebody was as a kid is an act to at least some degree.

It seems that even when some of the people in Belarus seem to want lockdowns, dictatorship, and authoritarian leadership, they're not given it. Countries under lockdowns seem closer to near-dictatorships than Belarus at this time.
