autism tests are so funny. I'm extremely literal most of the time, but people don't tell me that generally, so I'm inclined to answer disagree. because I'm taking the statement too literally

^not my post but same sentiment

[tavina-writes]

People have real issues understanding why the absence of romance and sexual desire is such a big deal. "No one bothers you over your sexual orientation! You're basically a straight person!" No wrong. The older you get the more your life is considered a failure for failing to find a life partner and get your 2.5 kids in.

Like people make fun of middle aged women for not getting married or being divorced or "always the bridesmaid never the bride" and all like "oh she's desperate! No one wants her! Old maid!' but they become straight up hostile and upset when you tell them you never want to date.

Being unpartnered after your mid twenties is just like "oh what's wrong with you" and "don't worry you'll find your guy" "aren't you afraid of being alone" "who will take care of you" "you're running out of time to have kids" and no matter what you are or aren't people straight up don't understand that you don't want them.

Look I get that nobody LIKES encountering kids on social media and that it DOES in fact fuck you up to use the internet a bunch as a kid but like. I don't know what to tell you it's 2026 and TONS of kids live horrid little isolated lives in the suburbs with their fucking insane parents. Either conservatives, or anti-vaxxers or hellfire religious types or even just pieces of shit. When people post about how kids shouldn't be online or their parents should limit their internet use I just hear them going "PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ISOLATE YOURSELF AND RESIGN YOURSELF TO THE WHIMS OF THE NUCLEAR FAMILY. YOUR PARENTS WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST INTEREST IN MIND EVEN IF THEY MOLEST YOU AND STUFF DONT GO ONLINE AND FIND OUT HOW TO LEAVE YOUR PARENTS HOUSE ALWAYS BELIEVE EVERYTHING THEY SAY NOTHING CAN GO WRONG IF THIS HAPPENS"

"As a child I was on social media too young and it put me in the panopticon and ruined my brain"

okay well as someone who grew up right around the boom of social media the first half of my childhood comprised of long lonely days being forced to do whatever my parents told me and feeling like an insane caged animal every single day of my life and then I got online, got groomed, and it was still an improvement over being alone with my family.

Honestly I really do think there is a trend of people only noticing traumatic situations when they line up with what society says should upset them. No yeah it's fine that every child in the nation spends 8 hours a day in what is essentially an educational detention facility. that's not fucked up, whats fucked up is they go online and see boobs. I knew someone who grew up in a cult and it sucked and consequently after escaping became very wary of any sort of insular social behavior because it reminded them of the abuse they grew up in but then you talk to people in broader society who grew up non-religious or went to public school and they still get molested and abused all the time anyways. And you kind of have to start wondering maybe its because we treat children like something you own? When I was in tenth grade I was online and used to get money by selling nudes to this old guy and obviously that really really fucked me up but I don't think the solution to that would have been "yeah you should spend all day in the educorrectional facility and not be able to talk to anyone except your parents who replaced your bedroom door with a curtain" maybe it would have been like. ubi for kids or some shit. because then when an old guy hits you up for nudes when you are 15 you straight up do not need his money. But oh well no children just simply need adults to protect and take care of them and that should be in the form of 24/7 surveillance.

It's easy to compare ourselves to other people's visible successes! But underneath the surface, we realize it's not a comparison at all. We can all succeed in different ways. 🥕✨

Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes

Companies that rushed to replace human labor with AI are now shelling out to have IRL workers to fix the technology's screwups.

Delicious. We love to see it.

Ultimately, she spent 20 hours redoing the copy from scratch — and with her $100-per-hour rate, that meant her client was shelling out $2,000 for copy that likely would have ended up being far cheaper had a human just written it in the first place.

I love stories like this.

GET PREGNANT WITH DIRT

[storm-of-feathers]

speaking of volcanology i am at my LIMIT with people thinking that yellowstone is "overdue". Its not fucking pregnant. if it ever erupts again we'll have decades if not centuries of warning. whenever theres "increased activity" there it means something vibrated a bit more or something.

and while we're on it the eruptions happening rn are also not out of the ordinary. what kilauea is doing is not a cause for alarm. volcanoes erupt all the time its a part of our planet I am losing my mind

[he-who-reads-until-dawn]

They aborted the Yellowstone super eruption because of woke
