You can’t convince me Hasan isn’t a modern Ottoman sultan

Hasan is much closer to a modern day ottoman sultan than he is being any type of socialist revolutionary

-Harem full of women (Snapchat filled with nudes)

-Obscene amount of materialism (obsession with brands and overconsumption of tacky items)

-Disposable court jesters (idubbz, denims, frogan)

-Descended from royalty (his uncle had a hand in the young Turks movement, literally the leading party that formed turkey post-Ottoman era)

-Fighting for control of Palestine (Brit’s and zionists heavily fought against the ottomans for Palestinian land)

-Extremely self-centered and borderline narcissistic

-Distrust of the west

-Affinity for Germany (Central powers/Hasan’s infamous trip to Berlin)

All hail Sultan Hasan the Magnificent

If each season of True Detective had it owns individual name, what names would it be?

For me personally, I hate season 1 being referred to as “The Long Bright Dark” and I feel it doesn’t fit with season 1’s vibe, I know this movie title is already taken but I feel memories of murder is the perfect title for season 1

Possible contradiction

Remember dale’s”I’ll shoot you” rant? For those who don’t remember he went on a whole rant about how if anybody pulled up to section 8 house he would shot them on the spot, but if he has a felony, how would he be able to possess firearms? Did he lie? get his felony expunged? Or he is just flat out so scared of the trolls he’s willing to break the law and possess firearms LOL

How do I get away from my ex-girlfriend?

Me (16M) and my ex girlfriend (16F) were together for about 5 months, we were in an online relationship (stupid I know) for the entirety of our time together, and we were always in a really rocky relationship, (constant fights, distancing, etc) and I finally ended things when I found out she cheated on me. She had always been mentally unstable as her home life was horrible and she exhibited suicidal tendencies and attempts before, but her mental health plummeted even further right around when we broke up. I initially offered to stay friends with her, since she had no friends left by the time we broke up due to unrelated reasons, and worried our breakup would lead to her committing suicide, I opted to stay friends with her, albeit begrudgingly. This was a mistake however, as she will blow up my phone with messages stating she is going to hurt herself or really kill herself, and I spend hours in distress trying to prevent her from hurting herself. This then lead to me standing my foot down and telling her I no longer want to be friends with her due to her erratic behavior and me being in constant stress every time I speak to her. She was oddly okay with it, until a day later (today) where she told me she is committing suicide right now, which turned out to be another fake out as she never harmed herself and I spent another hour trying to calm her down from trying to hurt herself. This leads into my final question, how do I get rid of her from my life? I know it sounds selfish to turn my back on a suicidal person, but I feel she’s usually her mental health to emotionally abuse me into giving her attention and validation, but I’m also worried if I block her she will really kill herself, and since I’m the only person she speaks to the authorities might bring some heat down on me (especially since we live in different states, the federal government could get involved) which is the last thing i want as I have aspirations to go to a prestige college.

TLDR; ex girlfriend is holding me emotionally hostage with threats of self-harm for attention, and I’m looking to get of rid of her from my life without it resulting in her actually harming herself because of me.

On Dale’s Dating History

Dale has always bragged about how he’s always with beautiful women and has dated gorgeous girls, but besides Alaina, most of the girls he’s been associated with (to my knowledge) have all been not attractive, such as the target date and his baby mama, is he simply just lying about his dating history? Are there any outliers I’m not aware of? Also how come every girl he’s with is extremely unhygienic? He has like a billion stories about stinky “boxes”, unbalanced pH’s, which really makes you wonder if he’s just getting with trashy girls who have horrible hygiene.
