I think there are services which offer temporary phone numbers like mysudo for instance. That being said, I have never used such services so I don’t know how viable it is.

I guess it’s because a lot of local news channels and personalities still use twitter.
I don’t seem to recollect any movie at the moment but here are some TV shows or anime -
Mr. Robot - one of my favourite TV shows, most people using lemmy might have already watched it.
Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu - its about a very lonely middleschool kid’s romance
Koe no Katachi - very popular anime movie. Also one of my favourites.
Bocchi the Rock - Anime about an extremly introverted girl wanting to play guitar in a highschool band.
Re-Life - its an anime about a grown up guy getting a chance to re-live his high-school days as part of a experiment or something like that. It was pretty good.
Lookism - its a Manhwa, but also has an anime. Basically the main character gets 2 bodies mysteriously. The original body is the ugly one which people bully him for and the second body is like that of a (male) kpop artist which people view differently.
Death’s game - it’s a kdrama I recently watched. Although it doesn’t exactly fit in with the theme of ‘lonlieness’ I thought I’d mention it.
P.S - some shows I mentioned here might not be as loneliness inducing as you think.
+1 for NHK ni yokoso. It also touches on social awkwardness and things like that as well.
Overall a very good watch.
Fighting street thugs in the Yakuza games. The man can’t even walk peacefully for 2 mins.
The problem is even worse with Yakuza 7. The RPG fighting mechanic makes me feel like fighting is a chore. To add to that, you cant even run away from these fights.
I use feeder on my phone too. What feeds do you like to follow ?
Mine is probably oatmeal.
Put half a cup of instant oatmeal, some nuts, peanut butter and a banana in the blender and pour some milk.
I usually put in the refrigerator and eat it in the morning.
For sweetening You can also use dates or maple syrup instead of sugar.
Not a movie, but I remember trying to do kamehameha when I was 8 years old or something after watching Dragon ball Z.
For the longest time, I thought it was me who was causing the problems. I started becoming careful about what I say. And as an unintentional result I became aware of what, why and how they speak.
I still consider some situations from an AITA perspective. But I may be biased towards myself. I will take your advice on posting in an AITA community and get some different perspectives.
Thanks for commenting !
It is possible that this is the case with him. Since he is not good with secrets and will definitely talk behind my back, I stopped sharing anything personal with him. He also digs up such topics from long back and uses it as part of his attack. He probably hates me because I do not share anything personal with him anymore.
Well nowadays I control what I share with the group. wouldn’t want any unnecessary arguments over some silly shit.
I’d love to read up on topics like “breaking illusion of control” you mentioned. Please do suggest if you know any good articles or books that touch on this matter.
2 of the guys work for the same startup. One of them is the main ‘problem guy’. This guy quickly embodies the traits of the crowd he spends the most time with. So It’s possible that take 1 is the case.
All of us are out of college. We are not too far apart, so we are able to meet up easily if we want to (for now).
On a different note- The start of this friend cricle was centered around gaming. I think some people might have different rules (subconciously) for deciding if a person belongs to a certain group. Maybe… just maybe the fact that I’m not able to play games with them regularly made him (the problem guy) subconsciously think that I’m not part of the group anymore. Especially since I do not adhere to the core values (gaming everyday). It’s possible that has caused a seperation in the group. I think I’m overthinking this. So I’ll leave it at that.
Now that I look at it, the ‘toxic’ nature may be a sum of all of the above mentioned takes.
We do meet in person once or twice a month. Once I start bringing up anything related to this, the problem guy will just change the topic or run off to somewhere else.
Here are a few examples from the top of my head -
One person forgot to mention his own birthday date to the problem guys, and they just started seeing him as a traitor, always spawn killing him in games, intentionally body blocking in FPS games… etc. I feel bad for him. It was fun to watch for the first few times, then it became basically every day. That guy stopped playing games altogether for sometime.
Always interprets offensive meaning from anyone he / they don’t like.
The main ‘problem guy’ can make fun of others, but once anyone starts making fun of him/ trolls him - he will leave the chat and will constantly kill the mood for an entire week if he ever comes back. And yes he will bring everyone including their dead family members into the conversation (happened twice recently)
Denies any alternative approach that is not his own and will most likely alienate the person who proposed it for the next 2 days.
Always looking for a new thing/person to hate. Some time back I was the topic of discussion for them. Heard it from a guy outside of my friend circle. I think It started from something as trivial as me buying a new phone without telling him/them.
That is a brilliant idea. I’ll incorporate it into my conversation next time.
The problem person has become an integral part of the group. Ejecting him would be very difficult as 3 of the other guys have sort of become like him and will be in support of him.
To the problem person, its always “us” vs “them” or “us” vs “another person”. I have tried talking to him in person, but he always seems to dismiss logical solutions to arguments. Changes topics quickly and He always has to find someone to take his side, so that he wins.
I know for a fact that he can be a decent guy when he is with a group of decent people. But it’s always the negative traits of the group that he ultimately tries to embody (unknowingly). I don’t want to paint him as a villain or anything, it’s just something I’ve observed over the years. Then again I may be wrong.
Like you mentioned, I definitely won’t sweep it under the carpet. It’s never a solution.
You are right. I always knew growing apart would be something I’ll have to deal with. It sucks that I’ll lose some people in the process. That’s life I guess.
I have used MiXplorer since 2016, it’s really good. Although I wish it got the new Material Design UI (but that doesn’t stop it from being a good application).
For the people who want to try it out first or don’t want to get it from the play store, here’s the link to it on Apkmirror.
URLcheck is a very useful app. I use it all the time.
Aegis is what I have used for 2fa for quite some time now, but I think I should also mention Authenticator Pro . The feature set is similar to Aegis and, it’s got a design that some people may find attractive.
P.S: It also has Wear OS support, so that you can see 2fa codes from your watch (I can’t tell how well this feature works as I don’t own any wearable devices)
Hah… I used to search up an issue and see my own unanswered question on reddit as the first result. ಠ_ಠ
