Direct byproduct of being neurodivergent and growing up isolated from your peergroup is having no idea when it's appropriate to define someone as your friend

[hellomelancholic]

Is this person I met yesterday my friend? What about this person I've been talking to every day for three months? What about this person I've known since middle school? Is friend a title I have to earn? What are the limits of friendship? Is it a static state, make-or-break, or is it some endless dance-dance-revolution style cavalcade of prompts and challenges and social cues I have to hit perfectly to keep it up? Does it bend? Does it break? I don't fucking know man I just work here.

i still remember when the dude doing my autism assessment asked me how many friends I had, and I was like "okay but how are we defining friendship?" and he just like, stared at me for a second and then wrote down some notes

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

Generative AI and the artist discussion is such a distraction from AI’s military and police applications or its role in automating hiring discrimination.

[cyberpunkpavlichenko]

The Nazis didn’t attack artists for being artists. They primarily targeted gay and Jewish artists for “degenerating” the culture through their avant garde ideas.

They did not attack artists for the sake of them producing art. The Nazis literally produced their own art and films. They were not against art itself but Jewish art. They were very clear about that.

Schism? Schism today?

[turuin]

Wow, I didn't have "catholic schism" on my 2026 bingo card

[mygogglesdosomething]

Schism today

[biglawbear]

I... Didn't realize that when there is a schism they actually issue a legal document that says "hey guys, there's a schism." Absolutely incredible

[bubbe--hollzy]

Oh you don’t know about Canon Law???!!!??? You of all people would go absolutely nuts over the centuries of these types of documents. Most are available online freely. You’re a lucky number of the 10,000 today

Holy shit I used to live very close to Evans Mills NY. It’s in the middle of nowhere in Upstate NY. There are more cows than people in Evans Mills.

Thank god I saved this from gayporntattoos before it got deleted

“you should be at the club” i should be a vampire.

[the-quasar-hero]

Here’s a very simple analogy: If a man was heard saying something very misogynistic, and I said “As a man, I think he meant such and such, and I forgive him for this.” You wouldn’t accept that because I’m not the offended party or target of said bigotry. So if someone white said something racist, another white person saying “I’m white, but I think that such and such should be forgiven for it.” why would you think anyone would accept that? This can happen across any and all axes of bigotry, someone that isn’t under one of them shouldn’t be forgiving the handler of another.

"this is unbecoming of me" is genuinely a useful thing to have in your mental toolbox

[error-404-fuck-not-found]

used to think it terribly silly (and kinda funny) when fantasy or sci-fi stories would have people refer to major recent historical events as The Flood or The Incident or The Revolution, and im sure historians fucking hate that because it's not helpful or descriptive, but we sure do be calling it The Pandemic

[impossiblepackage]

yeah it’d be silly to call a period of strife The Troubles. or a really big war The Great War. Hundred Years’ War would be a really silly name. What’s next, calling a sea in the north The North Sea? an ocean in the arctic The Arctic Ocean? next you’ll be telling me you call the primary street in your town Main Street.

[anglaised]

yall would rather believe apps like wayfair r trafficking children and women through dresser listings instead of paying attention to sex tourism or capitalism incentivizing the wealthy to exploit women in lower social classes, i get conspiracy can be “fun” but i promise u most of the sexual abuse and trafficking happening in the world is directly from ppl with power buying their way out of consequences and not people selling overly priced bed frames, saying this as a trafficking victim u look stupid as fuck parroting that stuff

[syn4k]

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

[butch-king-frankenstein]

I think those fancomics where Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes is transgender are cute and fun but I also think it's a deep misunderstanding of Calvin's character to think he would transition into a heterosexual normie who goes to her high school reunion. That girl would have neopronouns and fang implants

[butch-king-frankenstein]

Adult Calvin is a tattoo artist named Panthera who is the bassist in a terrible metal band called Captain Napalm and Hobbes helps do faer E injections

[butch-king-frankenstein]

I know it's like 2 weeks too late to change it but I'm so mad I didn't realize that the band would obviously be called "Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS". I walk the road of shame

[parawyrm]

[dazeylily]

almost entirely unprompted, a cis person on reddit accurately explained how most people see trans women as at least slightly subhuman. instances like that always make me feel ten million times better than any kind of deliberate attempt at "validation", like.

fuck man, yeah, thank you for saying that. everyone hates it when I say that, they get mad at me, but you just understand it without me having to say it. and you said it for me, so I don't even have to be the one everyone hates for saying it. I feel so protected.
