Accidentally clicking on an AI assistant feels like clicking on a link that’s going to give you a virus.

[now more experienced] why i sometimes

[wheelie-sick]

sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.

[wheelie-sick]

I've been so tempted to turn reblogs off because this post is obnoxious but I also made it to be controversial and this is fully what I expected to happen if it breached containment

people will see the statement "psychotic & bipolar people are humans too! we aren't all scary axe murderers!" and they'll think they agree with it but they haven't actually conceptualized it. when confronted with an uncomfortable situation they will choose every time to risk our lives by calling the cops

I think they should have to sit in the corner and think about their actions

so if this post makes you uncomfortable good. examine that. sometimes you will have odd interactions with strangers and you will not die but if you call the cops they might.

One thing I hate about the modern abortion discourse is that it necessitates women sharing some of the worst moments of their lives to prove that there are "moral" abortions. Women with planned, wanted pregnancies learning the fetus they carried was dead or dying; women who would themselves die if they carried their pregnancies to term (there are usually other children and a husband trotted out for these stories, because, well, just a woman's life in the balance wouldn't be compelling enough now would it?); now-adult women pointing out the horror of their child selves being re victimized by forced birth after being raped. Women put the darkest times of their lives out for public scrutiny like bloody offerings begging to be allowed the courtesy of consideration of basic medical care that would save their lives or their souls. Largely for an audience that either already agrees or won't care until the minute it happens to them or someone they care about in the same position (and not a minute after, either). And I understand why they share anyway, why they feel they're forced to given the reality of our circumstances. But for my part, I just want to make it very clear that I don't fucking care about why. I don't care why a woman wants or needs an abortion. I don't need the prostration and you don't need my approval.

i know this is the piss on the poor website but its also something worse and way stranger because every time i give general advice that amounts to “regrettably, sometimes, the problem in a rocky relationship is you” people will pop up out of every crevice to be like “insane take, why are you telling battered wives and abused children its their fault”

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i can say something like “honesty is the best policy” and i will have comments from strangers inventing convoluted scenarios where someone is rigged with a bomb that will explode if they dont lie and be like “this doesn’t apply if you have the exploding truth collar i just imagined, seriously harmful take”

[bloggerinne-deactivated20250930]

i have this unrealistic fantasy in my head where if you calmly and logically explain something to someone perfectly they will understand your position and gain knowledge from the exchange. unfortunately in the real world this does not happen often

[chronicsymptomsyndrome]

*displays textbook symptomatic behavior of my own disorder that I am well educated on* what’s my deal why am I like this

[pawberri]

Perhaps this will be thought of as being too woke but it's really discouraging that people are constantly inventing new reasons to think of people with slow reaction times or who misunderstand instructions as evil or idiotic or soulless. Like complaining about older people having a blank stare while they try to process what the barista said or whatever. Oh, they have the evil bad people lead poisoning. They're brain damaged. They have Facebook brainrot. They're NPCs, whatever, etc. As someone with bad sensory processing from psychosis and ADHD (you people can't do anything haha I know omg disabled person is disabled) I so often end up lagging there trying to understand what I'm supposed to do. I have trouble reading the instructions on the keypad, I have trouble processing the push or pull on the door, I have trouble processing the words being said to me and following instructions. You can still think I'm a piece of shit customer and that's fine but going online and seeing people act like this behavior makes you subhuman and non-concious is soooo depressing

[pawberri]

There are so many situations in our world where if you suggest someone might have a somewhat sympathetic reason for acting in a strange way, people get extremely mad that you've taken away their favorite inherently evil demographic and start acting like you're the bad one. "Don't pathologize everything" you're pathologizing it in different words, you just don't like the words that make them seem like human beings with internal logic

[pawberri]

And if you don't have a disability now as a young person someday you'll be old and more mentally disabled than you are now and everyone will hate you the same way btw

[zzoupz]

what are we even saying anymore

it is extremely important context that I am saying this as a clockfucker. what the fuck do you MEAN conventional

Walking around my neighborhood wearing my sick as fuck custom T-shirt that says "I STEAL EVERY FRIENDLY CAT I MEET WITH NO REMORSE I DO IT ALL THE TIME DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK I BEEN HERE FOR YEARS KEEP THAT BEAST ENCLOSED LEST YE FACE MY LIGHTNING CAT GRASP" and smiling politely while my neighbors' indoor-outdoor cats gently trot down the sidewalk towards me as the neighbors themselves read my shirt with a growing sense of panic.

[c3rvida3]

Unfollow me for cat theft all you want. You'll never catch me and you'll never stop me. Those things are this season's must-have lipgloss in an understaffed Sephora, and baby? I'm a middle-class teenage girl who's not getting enough attention at home...

[c3rvida3]

People in the notes keep saying, "This is just another reason you should keep your cats inside," and I know they just mean the fact that someone in general could steal them, but I like to think they all mean that you gotta watch out for me specifically. Because you do. I'm everywhere. And I'm fast.

dating a princessgirl is great until she exercises unilateral authority to keep snuggling you instead of letting you get up

[maxknightley]

the bed, too, is a kind of dungeon

[winged-void]

what happened to honor and duty. what kind of knight are you. you've failed her.
