Victimhood is a learned behavior that is incredibility destructive.
You give words meaning & power. Being hurt or offended, whether someone calls you a faggot, a nigger, a retard, or anything else, is just giving someone else power over you. There are no magical words that are an exception to this rule. "Sticks & stones..."
If someone means no offense, then it's stupid to take offense. If someone wants to offend, then it's stupid to give them the satisfaction.
After many days of travel, Buddha arrived at a small town to give a speech. Everyone was happy to see him, except one young man.
While Buddha spoke, the man was shouting at him. Buddha did not pay attention and continued speaking. This infuriated the man even more. He walked directly in front of Buddha and continued to ridicule him. “You have no right to teach others. You’re stupid and you’re a fake!”
The crowd began to react to this young man’s caustic behavior. Buddha stopped the crowd from turning against him and turned to the man and asked, “If you buy a gift for someone and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?”
The young man was surprised by the question, thought for a moment and answered, “It would belong to me because I bought the gift.”
The Buddha said, “Correct. It’s the same with your anger"

Saw Pomp interview him recently, and he's very skeptical of Bitcoin and thinks it's most likely a ponzi scheme.
I like Konstantin. I wonder at what price he'll start to figure out that he's wrong.
