HannesHere’s another example of contrast. In the background, a banner for the Olympic Games shows all the celebration and success. But up front, there’s a duvet and a pair of shoes on a park bench—just a reminder of homelessness. It’s easy to look away, clean up, and keep moving. But how often do we stop and think about how quickly anyone could end up in that situation? When safety nets fail, the reality becomes impossible to ignore.<br> <br> And just to be clear, I’m not posting this to get likes or attention. I really couldn’t care less if anyone likes my photos. What I want to show is the side we usually look past. Maybe we need to remind ourselves more often of how lucky we are? We often take our comfort for granted, but it’s fragile. Small changes in circumstances can have a big impact.<br> <br> I could also question myself, whether it’s fair or not to expose these people. But then again, what’s the alternative? Ignoring them entirely?<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/font?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#font</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/street?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#street</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/streetphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#streetphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/city?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#city</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cityphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cityphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/urban?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#urban</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/urbanphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#urbanphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/urbanexploration?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#urbanexploration</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/urbanexploring?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#urbanexploring</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/society?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#society</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/paris?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#paris</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/europe?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#europe</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/text?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#text</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/panasonic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#panasonic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lifeasitis?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lifeasitis</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/reallifeexposed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reallifeexposed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/everydaylife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#everydaylife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/picoftheday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#picoftheday</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/reflection?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reflection</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/idealization?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#idealization</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/goffman?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#goffman</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sociology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sociology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/homelessness?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homelessness</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/reality?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reality</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/olympicgames2024?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#olympicgames2024</a> <br> <br> My account on Mastodon: <a href="https://mastodon.social/@Rundown_memoir" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@Rundown_memoir</a>

jan"You have the world that's doing all these complicated things and then you discover Newton's laws, for example. ... This is the way that this particular sort of idealization of the world [works], this is how we describe it in a simple computationally reducible way. ...

Hence their rage and perceived <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/victimhood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>victimhood</span></a> at the smallest and/or imaginary slight or criticism.

The overt cruelty is more enjoyable because of the contempt they feel for you for tolerating their abuse. I also suspect it makes them feel more powerful when their victim grovels for love. Contemptuous and powerful.</p><p>Furthermore, healthy adults don't change their opinion of you just because they occasionally feel irritated, hurt or disappointed by you. In fact, healthy adults can still love and respect their partner even when they’re super angry with them. And can do so without engaging in wanton cruelty or childish nonsense. Imagine that!</p><p>If you're still trying to make it work with a disordered partner because you don't think you can live without their approval, please understand that for which you’re tolerating abuse IS NOT REAL. It’s your codependency and need for external validation from someone who'll never be capable of giving it to you that's real. They'll continue to exploit your vulnerabilities and abuse you for as long as you're willing to suffer it and them.</p><p><a href="https://lor.sh/tags/AbuseHasNoGender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseHasNoGender</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/TheMoreYouKnow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheMoreYouKnow</span></a></p>
