In my piece on how not to be a creeper, I made a point that today Id like to expand on just a little Ill explain why in a bit. Heres the point 2. Acknowledge that you dont get to define other peoples comfort level with you. Which is to say that you may be trying your hardest to be interesting and engaging and fun to be around and still come off as a creeper to someone else. Yes, that sucks for you. But you know what It sucks for them even harder, because youre creeping them out and making them profoundly unhappy and uncomfortable. It may not seem fair that creep is their assessment of you, but Surprise It doesnt matter, and if you try to argue with them or anyone else that youre in fact not being a creep and the problem is with them not you, then you go from creep to complete assbag. Sometimes people arent going to like you or want to be near you. Its just the way it is. This apparently has struck some to be dreadfully unfair, with the implication being that other people responding to folks usually men as creepers when in fact theyre trying to make an effort to be charming and witty and fun or whatever is some sort of special case in the interaction of human beings, and that such mismatches between intent and reception hardly ever happen in other situations. Creeper World Serial Key' title='Creeper World Serial Key' />To which my response is you have got to be kidding me. Outside of the realm of possible potential creepiness, you dont get to choose how other people respond to you, either. In any context. Indeed, regardless of your efforts to present yourself in a certain way, it is almost certain you will come across to some other people as not that way at all, and possibly the opposite of that way entirely. Let me, as I so often do for matters such as this, use myself as a good anecdotal example. You know, generally I try to be amusing some people dont find me amusing in the least. I try to write engaging books there are people who cant stand my writing. I often speak up on issues that are of concern to me there are people who wish I would shut up about them, including some folks who are nominally on my side of an issue. I try to be pleasant with people to some people I come across as insufferable, glib or insincere. I try to be open and upfront about most of my opinions some people see that as me being an arrogant asshole. And so on. Im not gonna lie, here I dont really see myself as a glib, unamusing asshole who writes awful books and doesnt know when to shut up. List of the Biggest database for Marvel, DC Comics, Dark Horse Comics Online. Youve got problems, Ive got advice. This advice isnt sugarcoatedin fact, its sugarfree, and may even be a little bitter. Welcome to Tough Love. But despite my best efforts not to be any of those things, there will be people who think at least one and possibly all of those things about me. Because in their heads, thats how they see me. It doesnt mean theyre having a psychotic break with reality. Theres enough room for variation in basic human interaction for this sort of thing, even before you add in everyones own personal life experience to the mix their own personal reasons for thinking a person acting like I do might be glib rather than pleasant, as an example. What can I do when I try to be x, and I come off as notx to some other person In the very short run, not much of anything. People are going to respond to me the way theyre going to respond to me, for all the reasons they have that response. Im not going to know all those reasons unless I try to engage them in a Quest for Context, which may not be convenient or appropriate at the time. Im best off accepting that to them, thats how Ive come across. The next thing I can do is ask myself, well, do they have a point Am I being glibunamusingan asshole Because sometimes theyre right and I am wrong. In which case, fair enough. Ive learned something and will work to fix my behavior. Note that this requires a certain amount of personal honesty and willingness for critical self examination that everyone says they have but lots of people actually dont. On the other hand, If I decide they dont have a point, then I generally chalk it up to people having differences of opinion and let it go. What I dont generally do is demand that the other party see it my way and believe that if they dont then theres something wrong with them. One, who has the time, and two, Im not sure its really important that everyone respond to me in precisely the same way. If one does have time and the other party has an interest, one could talk to them about the variance and see where the disconnect is. But sometimes one party or the other doesnt have that interest or time thats fine too. If one does that, however, one probably shouldnt do it with the underlying thesis of lets discover why youre so very wrong in your opinion about me and how we can fix that. Most other people wont sign up for that. Bottom line here Your self image is not the same as the image of you others receive. People will often see you entirely differently than you want them to. No ones required to see you the way you see yourself, and you probably cant make them do that even or often especially if you try. If you try to insist that they must, the likelihood of you coming across as petulant and unpleasant rises significantly. The Dark Queen. So, no, in this respect, some people often women seeing other people often men as creepers when those other people are trying to be interesting and engaging and fun is not actually an unusual reaction dynamic at all. The Phantom Creeps is a 1939 serial about a mad scientist who attempts to rule the world by creating various elaborate inventions. In a dramatic fashion, foreign. What is different about the creeper scenario is that there is very often a physical and psychological dynamic that has threatening possibilities to it. Which to my mind makes it more important for people to realize in that situation that they dont have the ability to dictate how others respond to them, and to accept that as part of the ground rules going in. One final point If your takeaway from all the above is to think If I cant control how other people respond to me, then Im relieved of my duty to be concerned about how I come across, then youre doing it wrong. People may respond to you differently than you intend you should still make an effort not to be a grasping, self centered assbag. In my experience, being a grasping, self centered assbag is one of the very few times where how you present yourself is exactly how other people see you, every time, without exception. Joker New Earth DC Database. Gallery. Occupation. Criminal mass murderer former ambassador for Iran2The Joker is a homicidal maniac and the archenemy of Batman. His real name and origin are unknown, but one of the most common versions indicates that he fell into a vat of chemicals which turned his skin white and his hair green. Completely unpredictable with no regard for human life, the Joker finds murder and mayhem funny, and is perhaps the most dangerous man on Earth with a body count stretching into the thousands, all centered around his obsession with the Batman. Origins. Accounts of the Jokers origins have been varied and numerous. He himself has told the story of how he came to be with several different variations, saying that sometimes he remembers it one way, sometimes another and that if he has to have a past, he prefers it to be multiple choice. What has remained the most consistent is that his first encounter with the Batman was while he was acting in the identity of the Red Hood, along with a gang of other thugs, committing a robbery in or near the Ace Chemical Processing Plant. During this robbery he either tripped into a vat of chemicals, or was accidentally pushed in by Batman. Most versions end with him falling into chemicals which bleach his skin, make his hair green, and give him a maniacal red smile. Arabic Bismillah Font. Sometimes the chemicals are also blamed for his mental state, and the combination of chemical exposures, and possible brain damage due to oxygen deprivation have been cited as factors in his insanity. Batmans first fight against the Joker. His activity between the accident in the chemical factory and his first public appearance as The Joker is unknown, but his return to the Gotham City crime scene was a spectacular one. He announced himself on television, after murdering a reporter with Joker Venom, and publicly told the police he intended to murder local millionaire Henry Claridge that evening at the stroke of midnight. Despite taking every security measure possible, Joker managed to kill his intended victim and nearly contaminated Gotham Citys entire water supply with his poison, but Batman was able to stop him. The Joker was successfully incarcerated, but not for long. Gotham City Life. Incarceration would prove no obstacle for the Mirthful Menace, and he quickly rose to become one of the top members of Batmans Rogues Gallery. He would find a frequent home in Arkham Asylum, Gothams local psychiatric institution, where he would most commonly find himself imprisoned. Despite the asylums efforts to contain him, he viewed it as sort of a revolving door, and even a place to simply rest up between his plans. He often committed crime for the sheer enjoyment of it, or specifically to cause pain to others, which he sees as part of the big joke. Although not all of his criminal endeavors earned him money, he must have had a significant bank roll, and has had possessions as outrageous as a full truck mounted heat seeking warhead. The Joker had a substantial list of significant crimes. His most consistent theme was been personal attacks against Batman, often through loved ones and members of the Batman Family, but he had shown complete indifference as to who his victims ware, as it didnt really matter to him. Though many feared to form an alliance with the Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime was recruited into a gang of super villains led by Two Face to battle Carmine Falcones criminal empire. As one of his tasks, the Joker had to eliminate Mario Falcone, but the hit was unsuccessful. The group was also responsible for the Columbus Day Massacre of Gothams mob bosses, including Bobby The Don Gazzo. The team disbanded after a battle with the Hangman and the battle in the Batcave with the newly formed Dynamic Duo, Batman and Robin. Killing the Family. The Shooting of Batgirl. Joker had a habit of escaping from Arkham on various occasions, but two of these occasions are most notable as a result of his criminal activities after his escapes. On the first occasion, Joker set out to show Batman how easy it was for even the sanest of people to lose their minds and he attempted to drive Commissioner Gordon insane. He arrived at Gordons house, and before kidnapping him, shot his niece in the spine, then took pictures of her naked, bleeding, and in pain on the floor later forcing the Commissioner to behold the attrocity in a slideshow. Although the Joker did not know this when he shot her, James Gordons niece was actually the retired Batgirl. Joker was eventually stopped by Batman and his plan to drive Gordon insane had failed, but Barbara was left wheelchair bound, but revived her vigilante career as Oracle. The Beating of Robin. Joker was locked away in Arkham, but it wasnt too long before he escaped once again. This time, he set out to sell nuclear weapons to terrorists. This plan was foiled by Batman and the new Robin, Jason Todd. After this failure, Joker reached Dr. Sheila Haywood and blackmailed her with her dark past. Haywood was Jasons missing mother, coerced into betraying him, and the Joker tied the two of them up together in a warehouse set to blow up after viciously beat Jason with a crowbar. Batman was unable to rescue the two of them before the bombs detonation, and they were both killed in the explosion. Afterwards Joker became the new Ambassador of Iran, which gave him diplomatic immunity. Considering his new political position allowed him to avoid justice, the Joker tried to commit genocide at the United Nations Building, but he was stopped by Superman and Batman, although they couldnt find his body after his apparent demise on his escape attempt. In reality, Joker had sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital. Still driven by the desire to destroy Batman, Joker manipulated Two Face from afar, talking to him through a radio and making him believe he was Dents own subconscious speaking. Following Jokers instructions, Two Face organized a series of crimes to kill Batman, but he failed and was eventually captured by Batman, Nightwing and a new Robin, a development that Joker found amusing. Zx 945 15 Drivers. Return of Madness. However, Jokers injuries were very serious and he was out of action longer than expected. During this time, he was filled with self doubt and went through a mid life crisis in which he started to lose his insanity. When a fake Joker appeared in Gotham, Joker decided to return, despite his diminished condition, in order to set things right. His lack of confidence in his own criminal genius prevented Joker from being himself again and the fake Joker was only defeated thanks to Batman and Gordon. Joker was subsequently captured and taken back to Arkham, where his madness returned. Back to his old self, Joker escaped from Arkham and used Lex Luthors influence to starts a criminal spree in Metropolis. Eventually, both criminals double crossed each other and were stopped by Batman and Superman. Knightfall. When Bane destroyed the walls of Arkham, Joker escaped the facility, but before leaving, he left Dr. Jeremiah Arkham in a death trap to stall Batman. A few days later, Joker teamed up with Cornelius Stirk and used him in a plan to kidnap Commissioner Gordon in order to control the GCPD. His plan was foiled when Stirk tried to kill Gordon instead of kidnap him and Joker left Stirk to be captured by Batman. As soon as he was leaving, Joker was approached by Scarecrow and together they teamed up and invaded the house of Mayor Krol. They dosed him with Scarecrows Fear Toxin and forced Krol to do their will. Knowing that Firefly was creating fires all around Gotham, Joker and Scarecrow made Krol cause a strike on the union of firefighters in the most dire of times. Batman beating Joker Using Krol, Joker lured the GCPD into a trap, which caused the death of the entire SWAT Team. Finally, Joker and Scarecow used Krol as bait to lure Batman into a trap in the Gotham River Tunnel.
