lol the pettiness of some people

Oh my god, yes. Your best victory is the victory of succeeding at something and moving the fuck on with your life if you can. People are shitty. Our environment is shitty. It is what it is. Keep trucking. I am a product of my environment, but I can control some of it. In my opinion, chasing your goals, time and distance is a solution for all social ills. Well maybe not all but I mean shit you gotta try

The best victory is watching them suffer as they made you.

We don’t know that was why they denied it, this could be shadenfreud (sp?) because they would be denied regardless.

At least I choose to believe that, because I can’t imagine being petty enough to do that.

Usually, one feels Schadenfreude when something bad 'just' happens to somebody else, like Karma, but not due to ones own actions.

And then you exclaim: "Haha, du Schaf!"

Is there a fun German (or any other language) word for taking delight in the pain of others when it totally is their fault, and their fault alone?

[–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 2 points 1 hour ago

That's at least one case of Schadenfreude.

This type of thing is the nominal purpose of credit scores, I believe. (Whether they're implemented effectively is another story...)

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 10 points 6 hours ago

They didn't say that's why they rejected them. Maybe they'd be rejected either way, they just got to be happy about it.

Right? "Made me cry on a school trip" (for reasons that I'm sure we're totally out of line on the teacher's part and omitted just for brevity's sake)

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I dunno, some teachers are sadists too proud or ugly for a career path more in line with their personality.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Dawn, imagine being so ugly that there is no career path that is in line with your personality available.

They can just become POTUS
