I'm a human being, god damn it. My life has value.

  • You've been dealt a really rough hand. The way it should work is that your community would see that you mean well and want to contribute, and support an ongoing effort to make that happen.

    We don't live in the world of should, but imo you do need a community of any kind. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say it should be your top priority to make at least one IRL friend and making the absolute most of it. They don't have to be perfect, but they do have to reciprocate the friendship.

    Once you have one, it's easier to make more. Everything is easier with a community. Keep a journal, write about your efforts, write about the people you might try to talk to. Try anything. There's a loneliness epidemic out there, so chances are good there are people just like you who are waiting for someone to make the first move. I hope you find each other.

  • You should still say fuck no. Any deal she makes to get a pardon will involve naming no politically unfavourable names - no Trump, none of his cultists, none of his P2025 apparatchiks, none of his billionaire buddies.

    It'll be Clintons first, then anyone else who has ever spoken out against his cult. Bet me a thousand real dollars. Bet me anything you like, I'll give you ten to one odds.

  • What a mess, I'm sorry. Can I just say that guy doesn't speak for me? Let me know if you're not sick of the conversation.

  • In real life, I prefer to live in a big town.

    Online, I prefer to live in a small town.

  • Try to see humans the way elephants see us. We're just these silly little fellas, you know?

  • If you want the world to be some kind of way, your best hope is to be that kind of way and hope it catches on. Get yourself to a better place. If you're keeping company with people who aren't onboard with that, it will hold you back.

  • We're humans. The end is always near, we've spent the last dozen eons or more basically failing upwards and constantly surviving the disasters we subject ourselves to. We're the funniest act this side of the Milky Way, and it's not going to stop just because we're starting to notice what a mess we are.

  • You need to cross out enough zeros so that it makes a million. Pretty sure

  • My what?

  • Yes well I'm also an anarchist so, yeah not really stumped by that one

  • Demanding or needing one is certainly childish. Constantly reminding someone to apologise is just plain parenting though. Forgiveness is nontrivial.

  • Regular churchgoers are a mixed bag. The real trouble comes from religious institutions themselves.

  • hyah🤺

  • The truth has no path, it's all chaos

  • Your dad's pretty young but his interests are basically the same as Stan Pines'. Have you considered getting him a copy of Gravity Falls?

  • I can answer this without even bringing you an essay based on vast personal experience. Get this: you exist, and your circumstances and experiences are hardly uncommon. How could it be anything but highly likely that women who also don't conform to those views also exist?

  • Fucking insane

  • Ah, I miss it. Just me, an offset serrated knife, a bag of onions the size of a child, a slippery floor, a nearby open flame, music that hurts my ears... And not an email in sight.

  • That is a difficulty. Sometimes you take a risk with a joke, and if people don't like it? Guess what, they're right. Humour is subjective.

  • We're a pretty neurodivergent crowd. I thrive in sarcasm, but a lot of us come with different care instructions
