A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Pretty much.
Anyone with half a brain cell knows that he is a pathological liar. And even worse than being a pathological liar, he's a pathological "truth bender". At no point is he lying, and at no point is he ever telling the truth. This gives him a method to worm his way out of any verbal snafu he found himself in. He learned it by emulating his sociopathic father, and he taught his children the same trick.
Are you sure trump isn't also a sociopath? He doesn't care if his actions kill people, or hurt others, really unless it hurts him personally, he doesn't give a shit about anything else.
That sounds like textbook sociopath to me.
We could spend all day talking about Trump being a sociopath. I've only got so much time on this Earth.
Same, maybe we should do something else useful with our time. He spent 4 years living in my head, I don't want him taking up any more real-estate
He's definitely a narcissist, but I'm betting he also has an unattachment disorder (which is pretty common in serial killers)
The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginningless time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light.
In the era before the Avatar, we bent not the elements, but the truth within ourselves. To bend another's truth, your own spirit must be unbendable, or you will be corrupted and destroyed.
