The people smugly gloating that young people will just have to 'find something else to do' in response to the social media bans are usually the exact same people who seethe with anger and make reports about 'loitering' whenever they have to share public spaces with teenagers.
@ChaosHC0133 People are literally acting like the argument is that no one should ever get gravel in their shoes, when really the point is that we would never be weird about someone stopping to remove a rock from their shoe like people are weird about disabled people accomodating themselves.
The truth is you cannot heal your trauma on your own, in an isolated psychiatrists room in secret. It happens in community through good experiences replacing the traumatic ones. But yall have zero motivation to be a community so
If you tell neurodivergent people they need to "get comfortable with being uncomfortable" I am putting gravel in your shoes. No you can't take the gravel out. You have to deal with it. Dealing with it makes you a better person. What do you mean "pointless suffering".
You can tell that things are actually getting truly inexorably worse because in my day it was "artisanal avocado toast, lattes, and a dang eye phone" and for the zoomers its "mcdonalds"
You could get a jr. double cheeseburger from McDonald's for $1 back in the early 2000s. Fast food was extremely cheap. You could expect the average fast food combo to come out to around $7-$8.
Don't let them tell you that this shit is normal. They are fucking you.
Conservatives told everyone they voted for Trump because he will get groceries affordable. In 2026 they're telling you to eat a sandwich and oatmeal every meal for 20 years to get a home, or you're entitled spoiled brat
caught between a rock and a hard place here because i DO think you can cook for yourself and save a lot of money while eating better but seeing a bunch of boomers posting wonderbread pb&j and a bag of chips going “i eat this for lunch an dinner five days a week” has me nauseous
reminder that ARFID is a professionally studied and diagnosed eating disorder that any psychiatrist will tell you is 100% real and has gotten people hospitalized for not eating enough because you eating a non-safe food will induce vomiting yes people WOULD rather starve
@hexprax Right-wingers love to be like "oh you think patriarchy is bad for women? Actually patriarchy is even worse for men... No we don't want to change anything about that."
@suspirant No no no you don’t get it! I cannot enjoy a single goddamn thing unless it’s in OPPOSITION to something someone else I’ve identified as an enemy might like. I’m not like those gay libs frolicking through the state park! I’m doing it to LARP as an outdoorsman which is way cooler
god my parents need to see this one, if the answer is in 3 hours then thats the answer, i dont care
but if you say "in a minute" when its in 3 hours, yeah i get annoyed, and i dont think thats impatient of me
So. If you are in ANY emergency situation — let’s say you park in your driveway, & only as you begin taking your groceries from the car, you see movement in your home that is supposed to be empty. And a broken window. You cannot drive away to somewhere safer to get help. Your car refuses.
You are at a traffic light. Suddenly someone is trying to get into your car (this has happened to me). You have a split second to accelerate & leave him in the dust. Your car shuts down power.
The school calls. Your daughter has fainted. You cannot drive to the school to pick her up because your car notices your eyes are wide & you’re breathing fast.
Your car now controls whether you live or die in an emergency situation. And those controls cannot be overridden.
