  • I tend to always read these, both when I sign up and when there are changes. Idk if I ever felt that it changed significantly at all from what I expected originally. They are “updated” annually and when a new law passes so usually it is no change or something about the new law. Basically usually if you consented to the original privacy policy, updates are unlikely to have anything surprising and new to change your mind. I guess unless it went from none to some/a lot of shared data!



  • Have you spent your entire life raised to put more weight in others’ comfort, opinions, achievements than your own?

    It’s REALLY easy to gaslight someone. Congratulations, you’re not a predator who seeks out/recognizes these qualities in someone for you to take advantage of.

    It IS common. It exists in many forms of abusive relationships. The fucking problem is that the internet is stupid as fuck and doesn’t understand what gaslighting is. If you start to question your intelligence, memory, etc because your partner is always contradicting you, just them, yeah that’s gaslighting. Disagreeing or the person is being a jerk and saying those lines doesn’t mean “you’re being gaslit” it’s a process and state of mind and being. You can be gaslit to believe your father never spent months painting himself blue trying to get into the blue man group, but that’s if you are convinced! Someone telling you that your dad never blue himself trying to convince you mean you were gaslit.

    Also lying isn’t gaslighting. The point is someone questioning or changing their reality.

    Sorry for the rant. I’m very passionate about abuse awareness and can’t self edit so well.
