- proving their assessment that you don't care about their feelings is correct. 4/4

[Snail Sanctuary @snailsanctuary]

As with many things, it depends on context. Neurodivergent people get into trouble when they try to find a universal rule, or try to apply a blanket strategy across all scenarios. A response that's appropriate in one situation can be wildly inappropriate in another. 1/4

I will never understand why "sharing similar experiences from your own life" is supposed to be bad?? 😭 it shows me that the person listening to me knows what im talking about cause they went through something similar. Like am I crazy for feeling this way??

[Snail Sanctuary @snailsanctuary]

Sharing a personal story in that scenario can make them feel like you only care about yourself, and haven't seen their pain; it can feel like nobody cares. Knowing this, you can either change strategies, or forge ahead without regard for the pain it causes - 3/4

@selentelechia This is seriously why predatory men are allowed to stay in the church, because everyone gets to pat themselves on the back for being Christian enough to forgive him and welcome him back into the fold. Meanwhile, that guy's female victims get the cold shoulder until they leave.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Fr. Harrison Ayre @FrHarrison]

“In practice, however, technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise it, finance it, regulate it and use it.”

THANK YOU POPE LEO FOR SAYING THIS.

Time for the “technology is a tool with no inherent moral position” idea to die!

sometimes the green sauce is spicier than the red, despite being the color of medicine or soothing jungle foliage. there's no way to adequately account for this

[Lady Lawya @Parkerlawyer]

In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”

The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.

So I got pissed.

Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.

Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.

That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.

Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.

whenever I buy food now it’s $17 and I’m like “okay that’s fine.” but privately it is not fine.

I hate this attitude. You know what? Unless your parents were abjectly abusive, it IS your responsibility to guard them in their infirmity. There are limits, sure; it doesn't have to be in your own home, if that's not a functional arrangement for everyone. And during the earlier phases of semi-incapacity you can only lead a horse to water, etc. But yes this is a duty that children bear toward their elders. Says who? THE WEIGHT OF CIVILIZATION
