/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • Maybe you're right, they're probably not neuro divergent. Sure, they have never spared a single thought for another person in their entire life, routinely engage in antisocial behavior to the detriment of everyone around them, and live like they're the only real person in a sea of NPCs.

    But, that just makes them well adjusted neoliberal individuals! They're certainly more well adapted to live in this society than I am, they're perfectly well adjusted subjects that are just acting out their neoliberal programming.

  • I'd be concerned that any phone company that works with Israel might modify their phones to explode.

  • Do tachikoma count as tanks? I guess they're walkers and don't have treads, but they do have space for a pilot when not operating autonomously! Also I like how they represent fundamental questions about identity and continuity of consciousness.

    Also also they're super cute, like jumping spiders.

  • Is it okay for them to torment me and ruin our shared public space with toxic, antisocial behivor for their own personal amusement?

    And is it okay for you to dismiss my very real inability to handle overstimulation because you don't respect the fact that I am differently abled? I'm not just mildly uncomfortable! I literally can't handle having my attention yanked in too many directions at the same time, it's a form of torture for me. It triggers panic attacks, episodes of self harm, and thoughts of suicide.

    And it's so easy to solve! There's basically no reason for it, except that they've never spared a thought for another person.

  • I have panic attacks when I'm overstimulated by too much noise, music and videos are especially bad when they're cranked up loud because they demand my attention and are literally designed to keep people's attention.

    But I don't matter. I'm an NPC that populates the world for real people, who can do whatever they want.

  • Why don't they need to have any kindness or patience for people like me?

  • I don't care what this Nazi thinks.

  • You're literally doing reactionary individualism. Everyone is a neoliberal subject floating in a sea of individuals, there's no social obligations to anyone around you and you can do anything you feel like. Everyone is sovereign!

    Except, what happens when everyone blasts their phone speakers all at the same time?

    The only way using speakers in public works is by relying on everyone else to follow the social norms and not blast their own speakers, competing for the limited soundspace we share in public. If everyone was blasting all the time our public spaces would be a nightmare, people like me who can get overstimulated would basically be forced out of public life - and no, ear plugs don't fix it.

    You do have an obligation to your community and the people around you. Noise pollution is antisocial.

  • I can't think of them as anything other than psychopaths or narcissists.

    They never spare a thought for anyone other than themselves and are totally self-absorbed in what they want, they disturb people around them and feel nothing about it. We're all NPCs populating their word, at most we only exist if we're useful to them.

  • He's not entirely wrong. Democrats didn't care about the Epstein files before Trump's reelection and they don't have anything else to talk about because most of the party hates the DSA's ideas. They don't care about the victims and they'd have been happy to bury this, they're doing this because there's no other choice. It's their best political move.

    Don't get me wrong, Trump is obviously in the files and this is a great political move!

    But, Democrats are fair-weather allies.

  • They're angry that she's taking legal action over sexual assault.

    Essentially indistinguishable from the "Israeli" right to r*pe rally.

  • It seems like men won't do self-care unless they're tricked into it. 😞

  • Insect protein is a solution in search of a problem. I guess if I had to I'd eat bugs, but I can get all the protein I need from plants.

  • Do you ever spend even a second with your own thoughts?

  • The White House knew about the coup that it planned and attempted? 🤯

  • I think disappointments heighten the contradictions of electoralism, so I see nothing wrong with them getting elected. Either they get rat fucked out of the race or they win and fail to accomplish anything, but either way they demonstrate the weakness of relying solely on bourgeois elections.

  • Addressing social issues reduces social instability, conservative policies and cultural norms only empower the NGOs and intelligence agencies (and intelligence agencies masquerading as NGOs) to find willing informants and collaborators. I don't get it.

  • Ilhan Omar is alright.

  • 27 million people are greedily demanding the water that rightfully belongs to ChatGPT

    A recent argument forced me to see that "genocide" has been turned into an imprecise word, and I don't know what to do about that?
