Abusers choose language where the meaning behind it is coercive. It makes it hard to convey emotional meaning with someone who had to learn these survival skills. One might be seeking connection and that intent sits in the same space where others seeking to manipulate placed theirs.

It’s normal to have that style of communication and simultaneously feel gas-lit by people speaking with decent intent.

For the other stuff therapy can be effective if you get the right therapist and imo not someone peddling sympathy.

Just wait until you get to “They’re all just as stupid as I am, and too insecure about it to stop me!”

huh… Fair enough. Was from a time of much brain fog. Maybe I’ve just blocked the worst communities too.

Maybe I’m the odd one out but I feel it’s been getting significantly better over the past few years. Maybe I’m just thinking back to before Lemmy.world defederated with ml/hexbear, or when I was on world/db0.

E: no hate to db0 by that, just don’t care for their AI stance.

This is way too subtle, the message will not be received.

I’d probably watch out of pure curiosity about how you even write a sci-fi about incontinent geriatrics

Thank you for saying it! People always act like the democrats have no spine…

No not all. But after IPO you’re a majority share from it at any point in time. That’s a decision a company makes.

If you want my concern shift to an employee owned worker co-op model with a sustainable market strategy. Not always a prefect solution but at least growth doesn’t inevitably become your sole driver.

I guess any shred of care I have for a business stops at the IPO.

Not convinced quark would waste valuable gold on victory points.

Would someone please think of specifically those businesses that do something of value

It’s a realistic monologue for a stream of consciousness

Oh no not the businesses

If you feel bad for them help them out

Idk, seems a bit racey…

The wealthty are not reliant on their abusers for survival, fuck off.

I have coworkers who are only there for the adult day care.

Then either what it will be is what you’re with or what you are it simply isn’t

Maybe I’m assuming too much but you should probably be using the adult restrooms.
