I can at least partially understand levying an abuse tax on truly "optional" abuse-items like tobacco or alcohol, but why charge it on gasoline? That's a necessary commodity to merely get around, and besides, it's not as if we aren't TRYING to use other fuels and/or forms of motive-power --- many people are trying to promote "green" forms of transportation like bicycles, electric vehicles, ethanol, etc., but the powers-that-be are actively squelching the development of such technology. Why, even GM itself crushed its own EV1 electric cars that people ALREADY WERE USING AND LOVED... what kinda convoluted nonsense does THAT make??!?!

Tiffany is so kind and lovable to me overall that I don't really consider it statutory abuse when she rests her foot against me while adjusting her socks/pant-legs or drapes clothing and towels on me while she's straightening up her room or getting ready to head out --- I know she isn't intentionally trying to belittle me; she's merely using my hips/arms/shoulders/head as convenient spots to temporarily rest/stash stuff, plus of course I know better than to "bother the maid when she's cleaning".

Get the Verbally Abuse a Ginger Month mug.Friendship abuse is the abuse you or someone endures at the hands of their so called best friends. Friendship abuse consists of bullying, verbal, physical or mental abuse as well as manipulation, ganging up and emotional abuse. When all these are combined it is torture for the person enduring it, by people they trusted, by people they felt safe with and by people who were supposed to do better. If anyone has gone through friendship abuse you are lucky to of gotten out of it!
Sasha is manipulating you, she is using friendship abuse on you. You need to get out of there and away from the toxicity

Get the Temmie abusing mug."People are conflating simple disagreement with gaslighting but when I talk about Palestine I receive a steady stream of abuse!" Seerut Chawla
Hym "They're weaponizing this language and you're receiving a steady stream of abuse? I don't see how that's it any different than MY THING! That sounds like MY THING! Really!? Well, I can relate Seerut Chawla. I'm usually hesitant to say people's names but... you asked for it, I guess. Hopefully you don't get nailed with some for of sexual impropriety scandal like the last 4 out of 8 people I've named... I don't know how any of that works but, yeah... ME TOO! I can totally relate to that! I hate comparative suffering rhetoric though. I'm not entirely unsympathetic to their claims of trauma. It isn't as bad (comparatively) as violence but I'm not going to presuppose (entirely) that their grievances are illegitimate. Life is pretty reality-monstery and it can be difficult to cope. People are largely uncooperative solipsists and once they've 'activated a mode' in your direction, it can be difficult to get them to treat you the way you want to be treated. But that's only because they're bad and dumb. And that's all it is, by the way. Them activating a certain mode of operation at you. Not that I don't do it.

I mean, yeah, if you're going to go into comparative suffering rhetoric it's going to activate my 'antagonism toward THAT' mode and then I'm going to be antagonistic towards you... For a minute. And then I'll revert to default settings and probably feel guilty about it and then I'm going to be like 'Oh no am I disparaging a fan or something or maybe I'm misinterpreting what's going on here' and then I'll feel bad for a bit... But that's the situation I'm in. I've activated people's 'antagonism towards ME' mode (which is what you did with the Palestine thing). I've been trying to figure out how to turn that off but their mechanisms of thought are a fucking hatchet job and their minds are INFERIOR TO MINE IN EVERY WAY! THE GREATEST MIND WHO HAS EVER LIVED! BETTER THAN EVERYONE!!! 😮 💨😮 💨😮 💨 But to no avail... So, if you're a fan, that'd cool. I love my fans but I hate having fans damn you all for making me be a celebrity I hate those and being one and knowing people and being known. And if you hate my guts then, you know, fuck you. You suck and I'm better than you in every way. I hate the weird gross hivemind you essentially are and you're something with would be killed with fire in a horror movie and abuse is only good when it happens to you specifically."
