The curse of the extroverted introvert: a thread - To start,
I am most certainly an introvert. I gain energy from being by myself, social situations drain me, but that does not stop me from striking up random conversations with strangers on the regular...
Red alert for aurora activity tonight in the UK. Anyone in Scotland got confirmed sightings before I head out on a wild goose chase? #aurorawatch#AuroraBorealis#northernlights
@Dialectiks It's because these type of men equate sex with connection. They can't accept any other kind of intimacy if it doesn't result in sex. Women have platonic intimacy with friends, but that's been made to seem like something weak for men to do. They get in their own way.
Everything about Trump becoming president is awful, but this is chilling: "Project 2025 proposes that the entire federal bureaucracy, including independent agencies such as the Department of Justice, be placed under direct presidential control." He can get away with anything.
My entire life, I wondered how the world stood by as the Jews were shipped off to the gas chambers during the Holocaust.
Over the past year, I've stopped wondering. The entire Western political & media class has taught us exactly how genocides happen:
1) Dehumanize the victims
2) Manufacture atrocity propaganda
3) Ignore historical context
4) Obsess over one's own history of victimhood
5) Manufacture false claims of antisemitism
What's most shocking is just how easy it has been to compel an entire generation of media & political elites to support genocide.
I really hate to say this, but this election in the US is giving Indy Ref 2014 vibes. The positive energy of the yes campaign lulled us into a false sense of security, everyone's views validated by their own echo chambers on social media, and we lost. I really hope I'm wrong.
I STG, being a Sims player and also living rurally with shit internet connection is such a pain in the butt. Made worse by the fact that every time I want to go play there's ANOTHER update required! Why so many updates @thesims ๐ญ
