  • Seconding this reply, because that was the most blatantly tonedeaf comment I've read in ages. Checked moderation history to see whether they were being intentionally dense as it was approaching gaslighting territory and whaddaya know? lmao

    If I had to guess, people like this crave empathy to abuse so no surprise to see them advocate for it.

  • I've been scaring people for 15 years without knowing why lmao, I was nicknamed ninja feet in my college dorm after giving my roommate one too many heartattacks. I couldn't for the life of me figure out for years why people couldn't hear me coming, even when I tried to make my presence known.

  • I think that's a big concern which holds a lot of people who've been through this sort of thing back, the fear of "I don't want to come off as callous", without realizing that most people who experience this have inherent empathy that won't be erased so easily if you simply begin prioritizing yourself. It sucks, because you know exactly what it feels like to be around the type of people who only prioritize themselves and you think "Well I don't wanna be like that, I have to care more about how other people are feeling" without realizing how often you bulldoze your own emotions in the process. As my own therapist put it, "You have a right to prioritize and care for yourself, and that doesn't make you at all lacking in empathy."

    I think there's also the additional aspect we learn of "taking care of our caretakers" at such a young age when it should have been the other way around and the adults should have been hypersensitive to the needs of their children, who instead were never allowed to be moody and irrational like they should have been at that age because they were too busy emotionally taking care of the adults in their lives. There's actually a word for this in psychology called Enmeshment, and it's a deep developmental trauma.

  • Learning to not be responsible for other people's feelings is the hardest thing I ever did in therapy. It's literally world-opening. I feel like the very nature of how I process thought shifted, I'm talking I don't even get the same outcome on the MBTI eval anymore (which supposedly doesn't change for much of someone's life).

    Working through that trauma transmuted my interactions with people from Pollyanna into Dr. House. I don't give a shit what anyone thinks about me anymore, and I gradually learned how to thrive off other people's discomfort lol (which is just a narcissistic control tactic 50% of the time anyway... so go ahead, let them be uncomfortable)

  • Its a shame people won’t vote with their wallets.

    I've been truly stunned these past several days to find out just how many people, not even crazy facebook people but just average users on Lemmy, pay for a ChatGPT subscription.

    They just don't care.

  • The UK has had "Big Brother" since before you could still run straight through a pre-9/11 US airport terminal and tearfully declare your love to your childhood sweetheart before they boarded that plane.

    All things considered, life isn't that scary here.

  • Load “*”,8,1

    Stop it. You guys are making me feel young.

  • The cyberpunk dystopia times arrive at last.

    Can't wait for mohawks to come back in style 🌈🤘

  • Ikr, bitches be crazy

  • This reeks of cope. Just cancel your subscription.

  • This is such a bleak time for tech enthusiasts.

    Yeah, they're really hurtin'. Hang on, I'm gonna set up a GoFundMe page for them real quick...

  • That would be somethin' else.

  • I've lucked out with living in a few places back to back where the building provides the internet, likely because the city is a university town so there's always tons of student tenants in the area. I haven't had to deal with the pain of an ISP installation in years. Also get the added benefit of not having to worry too much about things like port forwarding on security risk, so you don't have to dump your Windows 10 just yet in favor of resigning yourself to the Cult of Linux lmao

  • And yet, threads have been flooded the past couple of days with users proudly declaring how they're canceling their subscriptions after funneling who knows how much money into Altman's pockets unironically and without an ounce of shame lmfao

  • Pathetic.

  • I can't believe this actually has to be said. "Stop funding the death star!" Who the hell is actually paying for a tier subscription for that slop?

    People just really don't give a shit at all do they lmao

  • I would find it attractive if someone could pick me up and carry my 6’6’' 260lbs ass like a toddler

    Aspirational, this is why I lift.
