I’m studying dark psychology and I wish more people talked about this:
The most powerful manipulation tactic isn’t gaslighting. It isn’t guilt-tripping. It isn’t even emotional blackmail
It’s something else entirely
And people with ADHD are disproportionately vulnerable to it.
At the invitation of Prime Minister of the Republic of India Narendra Modi, President Xi Jinping will attend the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi from September 12 to 13.
Pakistan turns down Saudi request to strike Houthis.
Pakistan says the Mecca Pact of mutual defense “doesn’t cover a pre-existing condition,” so it only covers wars started after the pact was signed. It also covers only state actors, not non-state actors (and perhaps preferably those within reach of Pakistani power projection).
Saudis won’t ask Turkey (the third partner in the Mecca Pact). If they did, Turks would happily deploy naval assets from their Somalia base. Turks itch to control Bab al-Mandab; a fight with the Houthis would give them an excuse. Saudis are not keen to replace Iranian occupation of Yemen and the strait with Turkey.
@Shabaz1406 She does not earn well herself so obviously she is looking for someone with better earnings to make up for that.
I see no problem in that. Even a guy would have rejected a girl if he found somebody better than current one.
It’s all about options!!
Received a LinkedIn message from a PhD mother looking for a suitable bride for her son. I was not expecting a mother looking for a suitable bride for her PhD son on LINKEDIN.😭😭😭😭😭
You need to watch this incredible video to understand just how tired China's neighbors are of its aggressive coercion.
In the middle of a talk at the Seoul Defense Dialogue, China drops a note scolding and attempting to intimidate the Filipino National Defense Secretary over the South China Sea issue.
Instead of acquiescing like Beijing wanted, the secretary read the note out loud, ridiculing and debunking it as he went before saying, "perhaps, basic decency and behavior is what China needs to do."
My summary doesn't do the clip justice — it's an absolute evisceration.
Hoy estaba hablando con un amigo Chino sobre el monte Everest y, cuando dije ese nombre, se molestó.
Me explicó que para él, los Chinos, para muchos Tibetanos y Nepalíes, ese nombre tiene tintes de colonialismo científico, porque implica una historia que yo y mucha gente de este lado del mundo desconoce: el borrado de los nombres que ya existían para esa montaña.
La verdad, me dio curiosidad y me puse a investigar... 🧐
@GabbbarSingh The show was supposed to be under rated..that was the vibe it carried
But as soon as it got so much main stream media attention due to FIR/Netflix…expectations grew and it lost it’s charm
@DesiEsco7 Sadly we live in an age where looks do matter. We Indians need to change our way of life and need to invest in personal grooming and aesthetics to keep pace
