The literal rest of my life will be spent trying to fuck over America and Americans.

As an American, I'd just like to say we absolutely deserve this.

Nor do I think he's a horrible person for edgy comments and actions that most of us have definitely done one way or another on the Internet.

Now, I pay no attention at all to pewdiepie, and this is the first I've heard about this paying people to hold up an anti-semitic sign as a "joke", or whatever, but from my limited knowledge, this sort of behavior is absolutely the hallmark of a horrible person. There is a world of difference between the average "edgy" comment and paying people to hold up a sign that says "death to all jews".

"So many" does not mean "the majority" in any capacity

Correct. However, "general consensus" would mean the majority in most capacities, so it feels like you're shifting the goalposts here.

As for what the general consensus actually is, well... seems to be pretty positive for the most part. On Rotten tomatoes it has a 89% critic score and 79% audience. On imdb it's rated at 8.3. On metacritic, it has an 8.0 user score. I would say the general consensus is actually pretty positive. No, it's not as high as ATLA. And yes, people on fandom boards are often going to be more critical, especially in a highly engaged fandom. But the general consensus does seem to be that LoK was, in fact, "good". Doesn't mean you have to revise your opinion about it being mediocre, or whatever, but y'know, you don't have to die on the hill that the general consensus is that it's "not good".

Also,

You seem to be taking this weirdly personally

The person you're responding to made one comment in the entire thread? It disagrees with you, but there is nothing in it that even remotely suggests they're taking it "weirdly personally". Don't project that on them.

It certainly performed better than Concord.

Ok, but what didn't perform better than Concord? I don't know if that's a legit metric to use.

Maybe you are a narcissist and maybe you aren't, neither of us are actually qualified to make that call. A therapist that you see regularly would be, however. Now, while I say I'm not qualified to make that call, I will say that the shit you say is 100% the same shit a narcissist would.

Signs of narcissistic personality disorder include exaggerated sense of self-importance ("I will always be better than my friends"), lack of empathy ("I feel like I can treat them however I want without much remorse. In fact, I feel like most of the time, I’m right to treat people this way."), and a tendency to exploit others ("I view people as more tools than anything").

Everything you said that I quoted in my post above is a red flag for narcissism. I could've quoted a lot more than I did even, but I figured those would be enough to get the point across.

Now, as for your question about "can I have friends without socializing all the time," maybe first you should ask yourself, "Do I actually want friends? Or do I just want more tools I can use?" Cuz I don't believe that you actually want friends.

But regardless, whether it's ADHD and depression, or narcissism, or some combination of all three, the answer remains the same. You need to find a therapist, and you need to do the work. Work on becoming a decent human who actually cares about other people, aside from how they can benefit you, and having friends will liekly follow.

Oh, I remember you, I've seen a couple threads from you over the past couple days. So, let's recap a few of the things I've seen you say.

I view people as more tools than anything

They also say I’m a bad sport for calling them useless pieces of crap all the time

I remember one time someone stole the ball from my friend so I called my friend helpless and useless.

When I see someone being useless, I call them out for it. I will always be better than my friends

When something I do is considered “wrong” or “bad”, I genuinely don’t consider it morally wrong at all. I only know it’s wrong because someone told me it is, and if their telling me that doesn’t benefit me in some way, I tend to blame them and see them as acting irrationally.

I call my friends useless and horrible, and I really have no guilt/remorse or sympathy about that. I feel like I can treat them however I want without much remorse. In fact, I feel like most of the time, I’m right to treat people this way.

I want to maintain a good public image, so i say people should be kind and that bullying is wrong, because it’s been done to me amend doesn’t feel good. But to be honest, I couldn’t care less about how other people feel if it doesn’t impact me.

I believe I can feel remorse sometimes, such as if they do something that isn’t benefitting me

That last one really cracks me up. You only feel remorse when someone else does something that doesn't benefit you. That's not how remorse works. Remorse is felt when you yourself have done something wrong and are ashamed of it. But based on the things you've said, you don't ever really feel bad about your own actions, maybe at the most giving it a "yeah, I know people say this is wrong", but it doesn't look like you ever actually feel it. A lot of what you say reads as the most narcissistic shit I've ever seen in my life.

So to answer your question for this thread. Yes. You are a bad friend. Get therapy. Seriously.

Or don't, and I'm sure you'll have no friends at all soon enough. But I'm sure you'll be able to rationalize that as being their fault anyway, so don't worry, you won't even have to feel any sort of remorse!

Look, this doesn't even have to end with a curse.

No fooling, if you get the hiccups just tell yourself, "I am not a fish."

It's the stupidest hiccup cure I've ever heard. And it somehow always works.

They also say I’m a bad sport for calling them useless pieces of crap all the time

I remember one time someone stole the ball from my friend so I called my friend helpless and useless.

This is some jerky ass behavior here, and I wouldn't want to be friends with the person calling me useless either.

The difference between 1 billion and 1 million dollars is just about 1 billion dollars.

And maybe you could find a house for 70k in your area, but that is not common at all. The AVERAGE home price in my area is 525-550,000.

Having a single million dollars just does not mean you're rich these days.

Hmm, "the lemony place" is close, but I'd really prefer "the lemony party".

Or maybe just "lemon party" to simplify it a bit more.

I'll go google that just to make sure it's not taken by something else.

"Reddit continues to be anti-free speech," Cedric Hohnstadt said on X.

I would agree with that, but I'd also be surprised if Prey was a financial gem for the executives.
