I do think if you're asking people to engage on a deeper level, you also need to engage deeply with them at the perspective they're coming from. Coz otherwise, it suggests that you think the problem is that people are insincere, & that is in fact an entirely separate concern...

@Zzahaan This is ideal, I should prune more on return!

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

Yeah, men do have that choice, it's called a condom.

[MitchUnseen🇨🇦 @mitch6669]

@duicebiggs Pro choice means that a man should have a choice to not be a dad just as a woman should have a choice to not be a mom.

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

@Zzahaan Was going to ask, 'and how are you finding this place, nowadays'? :P

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

@Zzahaan Hmmm

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

@Zzahaan So much extreme tripe on the site now...I'm mostly bored, but whenever I lurk (usually to check up on moots still posting) I get drawn into the algorithm and...it's so so bad, but still mildly compelling in a hatefollow sense. The shock/outrage mechanism still works on me :/

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

@Zzahaan Yeah, I know, I was just messing around.

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

Not only have I accidentally posted something I didn't mean to, I have now accidentally deleted the one fun draft thread that I had saved. Truly a sign to stay away, fully, for a long long time.

And for the rest of his life explains to people WHY HIS LEGAL NAME IS PATRICIA. INSTEAD OF GETTING IT FIXED, STAT. Absolute legend.

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

Bruh. You don't even know. I know multiple people who've had their names typo'd in official documents as teenagers who then...DECIDED TO GO BY THE TYPO FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. LIKE, WHAT THE FUCK?

[Ante D. Luvian @uncle_deluge]

I don't understand the stories that go "our family name was xyz but the immigration clerk misheard it and wrote something else at Ellis Island" and what they just went with that? "Oh I guess we're called this now, and we'll also call our children that" complete and utter nonsense

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

And he goes, um, you've smooshed my name with the person ahead of me, I'm just Peter Keating. And she goes, ah, it'll be too much of a bother to fix now, could you just go by Patricia from hereon? And this guy replies...SURE!

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

I want to make a series titled louche in the library. Nothing risque, just risky. Furtive stares as you lounge in a chair with books teetering on the edge of the table.

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

My sister: You millenials should seize power. I stand with my Nitte Meenakshi comrade.

Me:...this must have been what it felt like when I randomly started calling people thozhar.

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

Why are people so mean about this bookshop? People don't talk of blossom's this way...or bookworm, or select, or, or

[Mad Milton @PhilipPanass]

Tbh, Faqirchand survives, in all its abominable mediocrity, because of chutiyas like Mayank. I had the misfortune of accompanying a friend to this guy's exhibition at Triveni, a fortnight ago, and eww.

What is wrong with all of you people, teenagers do work in cafes. Dumbfucks.

[Adv. Aman Yadav @amanakkiyadav]

The Western idea of teenagers working in cafes makes zero macroeconomic sense in India.
First there is absolutely no need for it.
​India is a labor surplus economy. Western cafes hire 16 yr due to a severe shortage of cheap adult labor. Here millions of adults desperately need these entry level service jobs to feed their families.
Allocating a cafe job to a teenager for pocket money when an adult needs it for basic survival is socially and economically tone deaf.
​Second the wage economics completely fail here. Because unskilled labor is abundant the market wage is incredibly low.
A teenager’s time is their absolute highest ROI asset. In our hyper competitive, developing economy, their sole economic utility should be human capital formation studying, clearing exams, and building specialized skills.
​Blindly importing a Western model built for labor scarce economies isn't progressive, it's just bad economics.
That's what atleast i think......

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

What a fun lurk draft to make it out. Hello, everyone! How many of you are still lurking too?

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

Tbf I don't think you're the main person for being fat but the main character for not grokking (cough) how to lose weight (which ofc you're not). True to my also being a person on X, I would (and do) find this more annoying. Call me fat, sure. Call me misinformed, how dare you.

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

@yeddypriv I never could quite pinpoint what made me uneasy...

[Eternal Glitch @spectrelshift]

@yeddypriv Tbh, validated my intuition 😬
