Oh my god I’d love a world where ‘how are you’ can be answered honestly or never asked at all.

This reminds me of that story here a while back about the autistic man who didn’t react appropriately to someone’s death and being convicted of murder.
It’s fucking bleak out here that we have to make Oscar- winning emotional performances to convince people we have feelings.
I think masking as a concept gets mistaken as just concealing ND traits, when there is this element of forced emoting involved as well. You’re actively masking when you force a smile to convince a person that you’re actually happy. God forbid you can’t cry on command to align with the pain you’re feeling.
If someone tells you they’re feeling a certain way, just believe them. You have nothing to lose.
Oh yeah, same. It’s just magical thinking and offers of nostalgia.
It’s just the cope people go through to navigate a worsening economy while lacking class consciousness. If you perpetuate the belief that the responsibility is on the consumer, then you can look at the exploitation and say it’s because they weren’t smart shoppers who did their homework. The system doesn’t need to change, you just need to be smarter.
It’s just another permutation of personal responsibility politics used to ignore the systemic problems we’re seeing. It’s telling customers not to be stupid instead of questioning why videogame companies keep selling low quality garbage with pre-order bonuses to hook people who want to look forward to something.
It’s bad to do the pre-orders and get invested like with Starfield, but the people offering warnings like that are more just trying to prove they are being a smarter shopper. That they won’t get duped by the hype.
Real energy.
Please tell me this was made ironically.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
It feels like ads these days are crossing a lot of boundaries that they didn’t just a few years ago. It’s manufacturing consent but more aggressive. Normalizing the violence.
He just put the couch in the microwave for a little bit to reach human body temperature. It would be weirder if he didn’t.
Who could have known the cop would be a bastard?
As someone who’s both ND and with a diminished social circle from an isolating family, I hate that people still talk about getting a job as just a matter of applying like there isn’t preferential treatment for connected people.
And framing education as the ‘great equalizer’ hasn’t done anything to dispel the myth of meritocracy.
Sorry

Sneering voice. They know.
What level of dystopia are we in that i fear this person is at risk for lethal retaliation?
I think trying to imitate meat goes against some of the basic philosophy of veganism. We should move away from trying to get the taste of animal blood and fat to make a meaty flavor. It’s trying to create the illusion of commodified animal suffering. At least that’s how I see it.
It’s energy and resources better spent on making food available to others.
And besides, meat just isn’t that healthy.
