Akala in this Natives book is actually annoying me. I love his music, his FITB are always highly promoted by me... but this book... jeez, he comes across as so arrogant and anti-White it's disconcerting 📖🎧
Watching Jon Snow in this Gunpowder show. Had no real understanding of the whole Protestant/Catholic discord preceding the events set afoot by Guy Fawkes! 🎆🔥
Bahaha, it's all gone to shit. The audit is a mare. The VR has died. The Hik has a red status light. I'm trying to migrate a user whilst being peppered with questions about previously resolved tickets 😂 living the dream! ✌🏼
Entertaining night at the pub quiz this week. Absalom and Achitophel. Be accused of colluding in secret conversations over my birthday weekend in respect of this years proposed family Secret Santa. Justifiably annoyed, I refute the allegations. Instead of an apology however, they double down on their incorrect assertions. It doesn't matter that they are wrong - they are seemingly above reproach and are allowed to make accusations that paint others in a bad light without accountability. I am then told to my face that I am two-faced, sly (along with the whole family in general), and that I chat shit about people all the time. Excuse you? No apology is forthcoming for these insults and I am expected to just sit there and have my character sullied with impunity in the middle of the pub. Understandably, arguments later ensue with raised voices and expressed frustration - and pens being pointed aggressively. Admittedly I let myself get riled up more than I'd have liked, but in my defence, I was only matching the energy directed at me. And yet despite the preamble that led up to this, somehow by the end of the night, I am the villain and they are the victim? Because I'd refused to sit back and be insulted to my face and repeatedly spoken to like some sort of dickhead? The cherry on the cake being the use of the loaded phrase: "he just attacked me!" whilst cowering, when all I'd done was stand up for myself, albeit angrily. The connotations of saying "attacked" are profound and uphold the portrayal of them being the innocent victim, and me being a violent aggressor. The energy was equal on both sides of the table. But at that point there was nothing I could do to vindicate myself; they'd manipulated the situation perfectly. Absolutely surreal.
