Great, now an AI can use social media to coerce me instead of just my peers from high school.

But hey, my federal agent could use a vacation.

I do the, ‘I’m here’ and let my circumstances speak for themselves.

If my mother had to apologize for me doing shit like this, to the point of describing me as a creep, I would be too ashamed to ever leave the house again.

Oh my god I’d love a world where ‘how are you’ can be answered honestly or never asked at all.

This reminds me of that story here a while back about the autistic man who didn’t react appropriately to someone’s death and being convicted of murder.

It’s fucking bleak out here that we have to make Oscar- winning emotional performances to convince people we have feelings.

I think masking as a concept gets mistaken as just concealing ND traits, when there is this element of forced emoting involved as well. You’re actively masking when you force a smile to convince a person that you’re actually happy. God forbid you can’t cry on command to align with the pain you’re feeling.

If someone tells you they’re feeling a certain way, just believe them. You have nothing to lose.

They have millions and a loyal fanbase and it’s still not enough for them. They have to poison them too. Imagine being that hollowed out.

Oh yeah, same. It’s just magical thinking and offers of nostalgia.

Oh hell.

I know it’s fake, but this makes me sad.

It’s just the cope people go through to navigate a worsening economy while lacking class consciousness. If you perpetuate the belief that the responsibility is on the consumer, then you can look at the exploitation and say it’s because they weren’t smart shoppers who did their homework. The system doesn’t need to change, you just need to be smarter.

It’s just another permutation of personal responsibility politics used to ignore the systemic problems we’re seeing. It’s telling customers not to be stupid instead of questioning why videogame companies keep selling low quality garbage with pre-order bonuses to hook people who want to look forward to something.

It’s bad to do the pre-orders and get invested like with Starfield, but the people offering warnings like that are more just trying to prove they are being a smarter shopper. That they won’t get duped by the hype.

Brunch is singing her siren song and we’re gonna crash into the rocks.

Lol I never forgot. Those ideologies also destroyed queer lives, lives in the middle east, and lives in the global south. The memory of the US is about 3 seasons of television long.

Do you to think Ronald Reagan or his supporters actually oppose the policies within Project 2025?

I’m not saying you should vote for Trump, but the worst people supporting Kamala Harris isn’t the win they seem to think it is.

Please, any unironic Kamala supporters, could you tell me how this is a win and not a condemnation of her ‘platform?’

Please tell me this was made ironically.

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

It feels like ads these days are crossing a lot of boundaries that they didn’t just a few years ago. It’s manufacturing consent but more aggressive. Normalizing the violence.

He just put the couch in the microwave for a little bit to reach human body temperature. It would be weirder if he didn’t.

Who could have known the cop would be a bastard?

I think you misunderstand - Education is good, but it is not an equalizer when it is just the default requirement in a given field. Other factors come into play based on your free time. It’s hard to do an unpaid internship, make connections with peers, or take on extra skill training when you’re forced to work a full time job just to go to school.

And being neurotypical isn’t a merit one earns. If I don’t inherently understand how to socialize outside of work or build team spirit, that’s extra work I have to do outside of actually doing the work I’m paid for.

How is that rewarding merit and not just the circumstances you inherited?

Edit: I don’t want to go backwards. I want to go forward to a time where we don’t screen for people based on their ability to smile and attend Christmas parties. We can get there by not accepting this as normal or fair.
