Agree it's been warped into stupid things, and used incorrectly, but:

I've seen enough people use it as a weird gaslighting of just trying to pull power games recently that it kind of disturbs me.
If someone is a constant annoyance or source of abuse in your life, you just cut them out or tell them to kill themselves.

That = having boundaries.

You don't have a therapy session telling them how you're not going to eat at their lunch table if they don't meet your laundry list of demands.

Agree. Having "boundaries" has nothing to do with requiring other people to do anything. Used correctly, it is a personal thing - you set boundaries for what you agree to have in your life or will accept, or not. The rest of the world can take a flip. Advertising "boundaries" or using "boundaries" as a threat or manipulation tool means you don't actually have them, but are instead appealing to others to "do the work" for you.

"Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present, controls the past…"

When there never was anything, you wont miss anything:
You vill have nothing and you vill be happy.

I kinda pisses me off when people claim "literally 1984", but fail to cite anything from it to make their point.

Too lazy to search the thread, but every modestly-popular-or-better YouTube video over a year old:

20## anyone???

Who's still listening in 20##???

20##???

These dickhead comments get a bit of traction and YouTube sucks at sorting comments, so some video with users offering great anecdotes about an artist or experience get buried so some dipshit can get a fucking chubby over a few dozens, "likes."

I report them if I see them, but I'm only one idiot.

1. Mandatory RTO
2. "Smart" traffic signals
3. Govt control of the internet / spying on everyone
4. (In the US) Can't get a driver's license (new or renewal) without getting fingerprinted first (in some states)
5. Every website requiring MFA (for some dumb reason)
6. Apartment rental companies requiring both a photo ID AND a motherfucking selfie thay their going to train an AI model on just to rent an apartment.

I'm too lazy to go on, but all the little things that most people just accept are peoplettaking stuff from your personal and private data storehouse. Not good!

"self deportation"

It's called leaving. It's literally you decided to leave.
It reeks of internet New Speak

It's a legal term of art. It's when someone "self-deports" because otherwise they may face removal proceedings, which often come with a lengthy or even permanent bar from re-entry. While the person may still face exclusion if they try to re-enter, they won't have a formal prohibition against their entry and can still argue their case if they do face a denial of a visa.

It isn't just "deciding to leave" because that would mean they entirely willingly took the option.

The term was invented by Republicans as a helpful suggestion back in the '80s. Trump has revived it. Much like its prior incarnation (and to the contrary of hysterical claims) it offers a method for illegals to leave without necessarily sacrificing the right to enter legally at some other time.

people that feel the need to specify honesty when giving an opinion; "imho. in my honest opinion" piss me off.
If you're giving an opinion why the fuck wouldn't you give the one you actually hold? It sounds so stupid and I immediately write off the people that say it or type it as retards because it calls into question about their honesty at any other times. They know they lie so much they have to specify to others and even to themselves that THIS time they are actually being honest.

I know a roach is like the little butts of joints found in ashtrays but I've never heard of roaching out
