RomanceRe: Who Is A Narcissist And How Are You Sure You Are Not Dating Or About To Date One by Cousin9999: 8:31pm On Aug 05, 2021
People really abuse that term (narcissist). It's enough to call someone toxic. You don't need to attempt to diagnose them. And once you've identified negative behaviors and unwillingness to change, move on.

It's also important to date someone for a while. Unless someone is a sociopath, they can't really hide who they are for very long. It's a compulsion for toxic people. That said, people can change. But they have to want it, and actively work towards it. And it may involve medication.

Also, toxic people may be happy with other toxic people. Some people actually live well like this. They like each other's mild dysfunction. Some toxic people need to admit who they are and what they prefer, and stop trying to build relationships with those who aren't toxic.

It may not be politically correct, but people from certain backgrounds are more likely to be toxic. If you don't want any parts of dysfunction, you may want to be careful about choosing certain partners. Right or wrong, people born into chaos/dysfunction often find it harder to emerge from it as healthy people. Dysfunction can come from poverty, culture, instability, trauma, less education, or other problems. It's not that you can't have a good relationship with these people. It's that your chances are lower.

Government serves the interests of the people. And encouraging division, violence, and discrimination helps no one and nothing. Tolerance and acceptance are not the same.

You don't have to support it, agree with it, or allow it in your personal life, but LG people should have equal protection and dignity under the government and law. LG people are honest, hardworking contributing members of society and the economy.

No disrespect to anyone's beliefs, but I don't think it's wise to take this position on the matter.

SportsAmerican Swimmer Lilly King Implies Russians 'should Not Be Here' At Olympics by Cousin9999(op): 3:24am On Aug 02, 2021
American swimmer Lilly King implies Russians 'should not be here' at Olympics because of doping

TOKYO -- American swimmer Lilly King doubled down on criticism of Russian athletes hours after the president of the Russian Olympic Committee said his teams' medals are the "best answer" to critics who questioned why the country is allowed to compete following doping scandals.

"There are a lot of people here that should not be here," said King, who won a silver and a bronze medal in Tokyo.

King made her statements seated next to Ryan Murphy, another U.S. swimmer who seemed to take aim this week at a country that has repeatedly run afoul of doping rules.

Murphy later said his comments weren't aimed at the Russians specifically. King was more direct.

"I wasn't racing anyone from a country who should have been banned and instead got a slap on the wrist and rebranded their national flag," she said. "So, I personally wasn't as affected. But Ryan was."

Her comments came hours after ROC president Stanislav Pozdnyakov said critics "supposed that as a matter of fact our athletes can't compete without doping," but that Russian athletes in Tokyo "proved the opposite not just with words but with their deeds and results."

Russia was revealed to have launched a massive, state-sponsored program to elude testers ahead of the 2014 Sochi Winter Games. It has sent depleted squads to the last two Olympics as punishment.

The country's name, flag and anthem have been banned from the Olympics and other major sports events following a legal battle with the World Anti-Doping Agency. After competing under the moniker OAR -- Olympic Athletes from Russia -- at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games, it has competed as the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) in Japan.

Russian athletes have won 40 medals in Tokyo, 11 of them gold.

Murphy bemoaned Friday that his races were "probably not clean" after taking the silver medal behind Russian swimmer Evgeny Rylov in the 200-meter backstroke. That came three days after he finished behind Rylov and another Russian, Kliment Kolesnikov, in the 100 back.

He said Saturday the comment wasn't targeted at Rylov but was instead intended to address suspicions of doping throughout the sport.

"I think things were definitely, they were definitely taken a little bit differently than what the question I was asked intended," he said. "I was asked a question about doping and swimming and I answered honestly. I do think there's doping in swimming."

SportsTokyo Olympics Racism: Ryan Murphy Calls Out Russian Doping by Cousin9999(op): 1:54am On Jul 31, 2021
Ryan Murphy had to call out Olympic doping because authorities refused to punish Russia for it

TOKYO — The reporter chased Ryan Murphy down a sidewalk outside the Aquatics Center and rather than ask a question, he issued an accusation.

“You've completely ruined Evgeny's moment,” he said. He was referencing Evgeny Rylov, the Russian swimmer who’d just won his second gold medal of the Olympics.

Hours later, nobody was talking about that medal, because Murphy, after losing to Rylov for the second time in four days, had questioned whether the 200-meter backstroke final was clean. “I do believe there is doping in swimming,” Murphy said. He never specifically accused Rylov of cheating, but he steered the conversation here, on the seventh full day of the Games, toward a relitigation of Russia's infamous state-sponsored doping scheme, and away from the fuzzy topics the Olympics think they’re supposed to be about.


And some thought that was classless, the accusations baseless, the motives bitter.

Murphy thought it was necessary, and he’s right.

It is necessary because Russian athletes cheated, and because we’ll never know which ones did, and because authorities don’t seem to care.

Some anti-doping officials have called for a blanket ban on Russian athletes as punishment for the state-run program. Their argument is that picking and choosing between clean athletes and dirty ones has been made impossible by Russia’s tampering with evidence. A World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) investigation found scores of cases of suspected performance-enhancing drug use, but in at least 145 of them, athletes couldn’t be convicted because Russia had either deleted or altered records.

“The obvious intent by manipulating the data was to ensure doped athletes were able to escape sanction,” Travis Tygart, the CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, said last year. “Now we can never know, and all are necessarily part of the cover-up, as sad as it may seem, if there are truly innocent ones.”

WADA’s natural conclusion was that, at the very least, any Russian athlete hoping to compete at the Olympics should have to prove their innocence. But in December, the Court of Arbitration for Sport delivered a decision that anti-doping officials called "watered-down and devastating." It shifted the burden of proof from athletes back to anti-doping officials, who’d have to prove athlete guilt to bar them from the Games — but who had little to no proof that individual athletes cheated because, again, Russia disposed of evidence.

So now, hundreds of Russian athletes are allowed to compete at these Olympics. They wear white, blue and red. Their flag has white, blue and red on it. Their name includes the word “Russian.” Their fans chant “Rus-SEE-a!” They are Russian. And although they may be clean, none were forced to prove it.

And so here we are, with no evidence that Rylov or anybody else cheated, but with understandable suspicion. This is what Murphy meant when he said, again and again, that he couldn’t answer questions with certainty, or make specific allegations, “because of things that have happened over the past.” There was a state-sponsored doping scheme and cover-up. Many athletes benefitted and were protected. Relatively few have been punished. Some, in all likelihood, are here in Tokyo.

It is not right, and yet if Murphy had kept silent, wrongdoing would be swept under a giant, International Olympic Committee-embroidered rug. The IOC, which made its bed with Russia long ago, had opposed harsh penalties. It has significant influence over WADA. Perhaps more importantly, its vice president, John Coates, is also the president of the International Council of Arbitration for Sport, which oversees the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which made the crucial December decision.


It is a web of conflicts of interest and powerful people who desperately want to see the Olympics roll on unperturbed, and it’s responsible for the laughable, lenient decision to allow Russia to compete here. It emboldens Russia, just a few years after the sweeping doping program was uncovered, to flaunt its attendance.

It’s why the Russian Olympic committee had the gall, hours after Murphy's comments, to tweet a photo of him and say: “How unnerving our victories are for some of our colleagues. Yes, we are here at the Olympics. Whether someone likes it or not. The old barrel organ started the song about Russian doping again. English-language propaganda, oozing with verbal sweat in the Tokyo heat. Through the mouths of athletes offended by defeats. We will not console you. Forgive us, those who are weaker. God is their judge. And for us — an assistant.”

And it is why Murphy and others have to speak up.

It should not be on Ryan Murphy to police doping in sports. He should not feel the need to create an international firestorm instead of cherishing an Olympic medal. It should not be on any athlete, amateur or pro.

But Olympic authorities have left them with no choice.

Well.

Advantages:
Germany is more marketable because of perception. This can open more doors internationally. Your salary will also be higher.

Spain has an excellent quality of life all around. The cost of living manages to be low while providing all 1st world comforts. It may be easier to get a visa to stay longer if that's what you want. Good weather. Integration is pretty easy. I'm not sure how it impacts marketability, but it's western Europe, so it can't hurt.

Disadvantages:
Germany is quite racist. The quality of life beyond necessities isn't great. There's nothing especially interesting or pleasant about the culture either. Their food sūcks. The country is ugly. The weather is pretty bad. And the high salary may mean little if you find yourself paying a bunch for a comfortable lifestyle. Germany, ultimately, birthed N**ism, and it's still very much a part of who they are. I forget the goofy word they have for their nationalism/racism, but it's like a religion for them. It's not pride mind you, just racism by another name. You may have more challenges in getting papers if you want to stay for a while.

Spain, like all Mediterranean nations, has economic issues and battles substantial corruption. There's racism, but I'm not sure if you actually need to be concerned about it.
