you don’t win any awards for suffering in silence. reach out if you need to. accept help if you need to. there’s no shame in needing assistance if it’ll get you where you want/need to be.

Im always like "i will not add my two cents. i will not add my two cents" but i cant lie the pennies are getting sweaty in my hand

I think over the years I’ve realized that assuming people you don’t understand are stupid by default is just like a mental shortcut to avoid having to think about why people act the way that they do.

I’ve kind of gotten tired of people doing that I guess. I used to do it, so I get it, but I’ve also figured out that you can learn a lot if you don’t assume by default that people are stupid. Almost everyone is fairly intelligent in some form or another, actually.

[what-even-is-thiss]

My family is full of mostly nice and empathetic people and they raised me to be kind and even they I think kind of raised me with the idea that we’re the smart ones and some people are just stupid

But over the years I’ve slowly decided to try to understand people better instead just assuming that they’re stupid.

And some people are idiots. But they’re rarely stupid.

It takes work though to think like this. Like I said, I understand the impulse to just assume that people are stupid. It’s easy. It involves a lot less research and connecting the dots and listening to people who annoy you or even people who actively dislike you.

It’s possible I have too much of an open mind sometimes but idk maybe broadening your understanding of the world and having a bit of compassion for people that you dislike is also very worth it.

[what-even-is-thiss]

A friend of mine basically lives under a rock and just learned about the existence of AI girlfriends and his first instinct was to assume that people who use these services are just stupid.

But it’s like. No I don’t think that they are. I think that they’re lonely and most of them are fully self aware about what they’re doing. And even if they’re not, the bad guys here are the companies profiting off of their loneliness and stealing their data. Not someone that’s so starved for human connection that they become attached to a chatbot.

And maybe pointing that out makes me a stick in the mud but I feel like I’d rather be a stick in the mud than just dismiss other peoples perspectives immediately.

QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it

I just think it's odd how supposedly anti racist whites en mass want to normalize the n word. By that I mean normalizing past use of it to the point where any criticism of using that word is written off as a nothingburger. They want to normalize this idea that it's natural for whites to use the n word at one point or another. Regardless of how old they were and how much they knew better.

I'd like to know, is this "racist phase" truly so ubiquitous amongst whites that they feel the need to defend each other over it? So common that they want to normalize it as a "kids will be kids" pass time? I wouldn't know, personally I never felt the need to say or do such things when I was a child. Much less as an adult. How come white adults are not allowed to be questioned for the actions they commit as adults? Why is patience always delivered to the whites, while everyone else has to shut up?

[the-thing-of-worms]

[the-thing-of-worms]

WHAT ELSE WOULD BEING SMART MEAN??

it's extremely funny reading historical accounts of Spontaneous Human Combustion because it follows the normal historical trend of other 1800s paranormal phenomena where it stopped happening as much right around the time cameras were invented and stopped happening entirely when everyone started carrying mini cameras in their pockets, but unlike most others of its ilk, it was effectively replaced by this mysterious phenomena where alocoholics would spill liqour on themselves and then fall asleep smoking a cigarette and turn into a fireball. nobody knows if these two things are related

99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

a fascist will call u a negroid and if you tell them they deserve to be stoned to death a liberal will start crying at you about the power of kindness and how ur ruining the world with Cruelty

[anglaised]

this isnt even just a online issue either like constantly atleast once a week i see a vid of a white person yelling the n word at a black person and as soon as the black person retaliates suddenly everyone thinks knocking the racist out is worse than the slur as if the slur isn’t violence like i see it all the time constantly, its in the news almost every day, and ur just supposed to agree as if allowing ppl to exist within our society who fully believe that other human beings are nonhuman monkeys deserving of death just for existing as brown isnt violent as fuck already
