We all know how tempting it can be to write off ex-lovers, nightmare bosses, former friends, and difficult family members by giving them an armchair diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder—but the reality of NPD is a bit more complex and nuanced than many people realize.\n\n2. When you’ve got a difficult narcissist in your life, it can be all too easy to presume that their problematic behavior stems from an overabundance of self-love, when in fact the opposite is true; despite their bravado, people suffering from narcissistic personality disorder are actually deeply insecure.\n\n3. It’s ironic that the myth of Narcissus—the tale that forms most people’s understanding of Narcissistic Personality Disorder—portrays the young man staring ceaselessly at his mirror image because, in real life, NPD could be explained as an inability to reflect or look inward.\n\n4. If you have a difficult narcissistic personality in your life—or several—you may be put off by the suggestion that you see a professional therapist for your struggles since you’re not the one with a problem; but seeing as people with NPD are extremely unlikely to seek professional help or change themselves, this may actually be your best option.\n\n5. If you’ve been going in circles with the narcissist in your life and feeling ready to pull your hair out, you may be surprised to learn that narcissism isn’t always a bad thing; in fact, some of us would actually be better off if we had a stronger narcissistic impulse.", "role": "assistant" } ]

In a multiplayer horror game, players can play as either survivors or killers. Each online lobby includes 4 survivors and one killer. The objective of the survivors is to repair 5 generators, open the exit gates, evade the killer, and escape the map. The killer's objective is quite simply to kill the survivors. As survivors repair generators, the killer can circle around the map hunting down survivors. As a survivor, a heartbeat noise can be heard as the killer enters a nearby radius, giving the survivor a chance to hide or set up a chase with the killer. The killer has a number of abilities that enable them to better hunt down survivors before trying to get them on a sacrificial hook. One of the coolest features of Dead By Daylight is the incorporation of notable characters from popular horror franchises such as Resident Evil, Scream, and many more. Both survivors and killers can level up their characters to unlock unique perks to help improve their gameplay. With these perks, players can enable a number of interesting and unique playstyles that best suit their gameplay style. All in all, Dead By Daylight is a compelling video game that everyone should try at least once.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Ground beef - it is necessary when you are looking to \"grind\" out another winning point.\n2. Veal - eke that meatball just over the net for the 21st point and Arnold, our star player, will say to his opponent \"Veal see you again soon!\"\n3. Pork - put a nasty backspin on that meatball, win the match, and send your opponent back to the \"pork\"ing lot.\n4. Chicken - when our undefeated teammate Gertrude puts on her game face and gets ready to viciously return the meatball, her opponent will be too \"chicken\" to hit it back.\n5. Lamb - when you see a spike opportunity with that meatball, score the point and then yell out \"Wham lamb, thank you, ma'am!\"\n\nIf you have any questions about how these meatballs should be served, then please don't hesitate to contact me.

Her mom was always the master baker in the family, and Tina was sorely hoping that skill did not completely skip a generation.\n\nConsulting her recipe, Tina mashed up the bananas as best as she could. Some were quite soft, and others a bit hard, but none held up to the pressure beneath her mighty fork. She furrowed a brow, cracked an egg, and then tossed it into the bowl along with the whole butter stick and an egg. The recipe called for sugar but she only had the brown kind on hand. Oh well, that'd have to do. Into the bowl that went. Then the salt but lacking any measuring device she eyeballed it with her fingertips. Another dash of this and that, and she was done.\n\nThe concoction looked almost right, a bit gloopy but not runny. But Tina wanted to make it better.

[ { "content": "Turn the facts of this article into a series of questions with answers.\n\nOn February 19, 1942—two months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor—President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed an executive order establishing the forced imprisonment, or internment, of Japanese Americans. This was upsetting news to First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who, less than two weeks after the Pearl Harbor bombing, had urged non-Japanse Americans not to turn against Japanese Americans in her syndicated column, “My Day.”\n\n“We, as citizens, if we hear anything suspicious, will report it to the proper authorities,” she wrote in her December 16 column, acknowledging that the United States was at war with Japan, Germany and Italy. “But the great mass of our people, stemming from these various national ties, must not feel that they have suddenly ceased to be Americans.”\n\nAs first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt could not and did not want to publicly disagree with her husband’s executive order. (Despite their disagreements, she was a fierce protector of FDR’s image and legacy.) Instead, she attempted to assist Japanese Americans who were in the camps, while publicly praising their loyalty and work ethic in order to convince other Americans that they were not a threat.\n\nBy the fall of 1941, Eleanor Roosevelt knew that U.S.the United States entry into World War II was a possibility. And she worried about what that would mean for Japanese Americans. At the time, the United States still barred first-generation Japanese immigrants, known as Issei, from becoming citizens under the 1790 Naturalization Act. Second-generation Japanese Americans, known as Nisei, held U.S. citizenship because they were born in the United States. But this did not protect them from racism and discrimination.\n\nThe first lady reached out to the Justice Department about what might happen to Japanese Americans in the event of war, writes Greg Robinson, a history professor at the University of Quebec in Montreal, in By Order of the President: FDR and the Internment of Japanese Americans. On December 4, 1941—three days before the Pearl Harbor attack—the first lady publicly stated that if the country entered the war, the government would not discriminate against any law-abiding noncitizens living in the United States.\n\nThat proved very quickly to be untrue. After the U.S. declared war on Japan on December 8, the Treasury Department froze all assets of Issei residents. Eleanor intervened to convince the Treasury Department to relax the restrictions so that families could withdraw $100 a month. Over the next few months, prominent white Americans in the government and media began calling for something even more drastic: the “mass evacuation” of citizens and noncitizens of Japanese descent.\n\nThe first lady was not immune to the anti-Japanese misinformation circulating among white Americans at the time. By January 1942, she believed incorrectly that the government had revealed some Japanese Americans to be spies. (In reality, the government never identified any ethnically Japanese spies living in the United States during the war.) Even so, she opposed the idea of mass evacuation.\n\nOne of her allies within FDR’s administration was Attorney General Francis Biddle, who tried to advise the president against mass evacuation. But when it became clear that FDR was going to issue an executive order authorizing the forced removal and internment of Japanese Americans, Biddle declined to have the Justice Department intervene.\n\nUnder Executive Order 9066, the United States forced more than 100,000 Japanese Americans out of their homes and into remote military internment camps. Each camp was surrounded by barbed wire and guard towers. When internees protested the unsafe conditions and inadequate food rations, military police often responded with violence.\n\nPublicly, Eleanor did not criticize this internment. Privately, she began corresponding with Japanese Americans in the camps. And she began advocating for a program to transfer Nisei students out of the camps so they could go to college. Her efforts led to the formation of the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council in May 1942. That year, she also asked the Department of War if she could visit one of the camps. They denied her request.\n\nWhen she asked again if she could visit a camp in early 1943, government officials were more amenable. By then, the Army had “opened up enlistment to Japanese American male volunteers, and Franklin Roosevelt endorsed their loyalty,” says Robinson in an interview with HISTORY.com. “He gave a public statement saying Americanism is a matter of the mind and the heart, and not of ancestry.”\n\nIn April 1943—not long after Eleanor learned that the U.S. hadn’t actually discovered any Japanese Americans spies, as she had previously believed—the first lady made an approved public visit to the Gila River Relocation Center in Pinal County, Arizona. In her “My Day” column about the visit, she praised the internees as hard-working, law-abiding and loyal to the United States. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times published that month, she said that “the sooner we get the young Japanese out of the camps, the better.”\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Question 1: What was the name of the column by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt? \nAnswer 1: My Day\n\nQuestion 2: Did Japanese Americans hold citizenship during the time period around WW2? \nAnswer 2: Some did and some did not.

Now 35, Lebron James has dominated the league for 17 years. In 2002, as a high school student, Lebron was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the title \"The Chosen One\". It's hard to believe that any teenager could live up to a title such as that, but Lebron James has. Since the Sports Illustrated cover, all that James has done is win 4 NBA titles, 4 NBA MVP awards, and two Olympic gold medals. He has received MVP votes in every single season of his career. Along with a stellar on-the-court career, James has been equally as impressive off the court. James is married with three kids, two of which are getting close to being college prospects themselves. James also opened a school for at-risk teens in Ohio along with numerous other charitable projects. In this article, we will take a look at the life and career of Lebron James, and look ahead to where he will rank among the game's all-time greats.", "role": "assistant" } ]

I considered the dress and then her. It was cotton, with a pretty pastel floral pattern and big puffy sleeves. The perfect kind of airy dress for a summer picnic, but not exactly something for the fancy dinner we had scheduled for tonight. I didn’t say anything, but clearly, my expression was loud enough. She lowered the dress, looking a little disappointed.\n“It suits you,” I offered, but the damage was done.\nWe moved to the next rack, both of us pawing through the clothes on offer, none of them really speaking out to us. This was why I hated shopping, especially for clothes. I was so particular about things: the fabric, the cut, the pattern, the vibe. My sister, on the other hand, was not. She thought a summer dress was fancy-dinner appropriate. Perhaps it would suit my sister, but unfortunately, I put a lot of time and effort into planning things out. My family liked to say I’m too type-A, that I need to take things easy but I can’t and they will just have to accept that.\n“Oh, I think I found it!”\nI turned around to see another dress in my sister’s hands. Somehow she managed to find something even worse than the summer dress. It was dark, short, and slinky with some glittery fabric. Perfect for clubbing, but not exactly what I imagined for my party. I didn’t respond, just turned back to the rack and kept looking.", "role": "assistant" } ]

But even with all these wonderful benefits, there are some things you should know about this plant before you buy it. If the leaves of your snake plant turn yellow, it might not be a problem immediately, but when you see more yellow leaves, you should try to find out why.\n\nThe snake plant is a houseplant with small clumps of white or cream-colored flowers at the end of long stalks. Let’s find out why snake plant leaves turn yellow and possible solutions.\n\n\nCauses of Snake Plant Leaves Turning Yellow\nThere are a few reasons that snake plant leaves turn yellow. Discussed below are some of the major reasons.\n\n1. Lack of Water\nThe snake plant needs a lot of water to stay green. Therefore, it is essential to see and treat this problem very soon. Water should be provided at least once a week and more often during the summer when the plant is growing faster. Daily watering might not be sufficient at all times.\n\n2. Overwatering\nThe leaves will turn yellow if a snake plant is left in water for too long. This happens because the roots of the plant cannot absorb all the available water and can be soaked up by the soil. Some snake plants are better than others because they don’t seem to mind being watered too much. Others might not be strong enough to handle over-watering, so it’s important to check for this problem often.\n\n3. Lack of Nutrients\nThe snake plant doesn’t need many nutrients to remain healthy, but they do need some. If the plant has been neglected for longer than a week or two, the problem will be more serious and require a solution for more than just water. A nutrient deficiency occurs when you feed the plant too little over time. The leaves will start to have a yellowing problem which will spread over time.\n\n4. Over-fertilization\nOver-fertilization is particularly a problem for people who like to feed their plants but don’t want to buy fertilizer. The difference between fertilizing and over-fertilizing the snake plant is that fertilizers have slightly different ingredients in various mixtures. This can confuse people unfamiliar with the difference and think it’s okay to use certain things like coffee grounds, which are not good for the snake plant. The way you know if you are over-fertilizing is that the plant will get too much water and too many nutrients. The plant will also turn yellow on the leaves, and it might look unhealthy, which is bad.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Snake plants are beautiful, low-maintenance houseplants that thrive in various conditions. However, yellow leaves on your snake plant may indicate something is wrong. Leaves turning yellow often indicates too much or too little water. Snake plants tend to be thirsty, but it's still essential to avoid overwatering. Nutrient imbalance is another common reason for snake plant leaves to become yellow. If the yellowing problem spreads slowly over time, the plant may not be getting sufficient nutrients. Nonetheless, snake plants aren't heavy feeders and need the proper balance of nutrients to thrive. Overfertilization is another reason the leaves may turn yellow. ", "role": "assistant" } ]
