“Does it matter I was trying to be nice…” Yes.

The endless march of causality would and will be there with or without out your act, and the energy equilibrium doesn’t care because it can’t, but you can.

The march of all electrons to their lowest energy orbitals isn’t your dance, and you merely pretend at comprehension of time scales not meant for you.

Choose to ameliorate your own suffering, because it matters just as little to the Universe. Take your own medicine and take it without the comforting hypocrisy.

For someone who grouses about humanity, you’re scorning a ton of them. The only thing I’m angry is I wasted my time trying to get through. Others have explained causality and how absurd it is to expect your mind read. Thank you for wasting the kindness of my explanation of a turn of phrase for someone who amidst their boundaries stated they’re neurodivergent. I love doing that, and that is extreme sarcasm. May you be forever misunderstood.

That was a manner of speech. No one actually cares about your wisdom or level thereof as you gauge it, but you’re ignoring much objectivity in your refusal to acknowledge it was perhaps you who did the minor social error.

What a sandwich of a comment. Agreeable point - what a tremendous assumption filled leap - agreeable point. I am reeling.

Lad, women are tenser at first fucking’s because, in theory, you’re both getting used to each other and what most turns on the machinery of arousal. They tend to feel smoother, slicker, and downright hungrily pulling, when a woman is most aroused. You are self owning a tad bit to any one who knows how to lay a proper lovin’.

That’s both fascinating, sad, and ironic etymology. My point still stands, I just now realize it’s also just a reframing against the original edge lord trend. There really isn’t anything new under the sun haha.

The phrase “there is nothing new under the sun” doesn’t mean there’s no originality left in the world. It means all stories resonate because of the human condition. Remixing the tropes is entirely the point of storytelling. The tropes are the substrate and how our brain likes patterns, not the patterns themselves. Enjoy what you enjoy and not what you’re told.

I like how some people are claiming americans are aware of this lol

What every revolution has had is people informing others about what the issue is

If most americans were sufficiently aware and organizing against it accordingly

The vast majority of successful revolutions are only those that had organized revolutionaries.

OK. I see your messaging is at odds with itself and you understand the assignment.

You got top spot on this here memetic sharing of ideas. Which message for the Americans at home who by virtue of reading you on Lemmy are closer to you than not?

Power. Your fantasy assumes the weight of mere knowing outweighs the power wielded against the citizenry. No revolution started with the whole citizenry waking up. You know why. If not, read more and be less disingenuous.

There’s a thin line between anguished despair and nihilistic optimism.

A thin, intentional line.

It can be alluded to, highlighted, charted, and otherwise discussed ad-infinitum, but it’s damn near impossible to lead another to.

Only have one comment to read (and I’m sorry how much it cost) but it looks like you’re at peace indeed.

Kudos to you, but remember you can backslide in acceptance and working back out is okay too!

Even crazy new Dragons get the “Respect the #1 rule of Dragon Club; do nothing to threaten the viability of the existence of Dragons” speech, I reckon.

Now keep in mind we have to be reasonable people and not driving our people beyond reasonableness.

Ditch your suite, and go into executive exclusive consultancy.

Just paraphrase the quoted section for each individual thick skull, and maybe teach them that softening the skin around your eyes and giving the beleaguered high performers bringing feedback a knowing look doesn’t violate business needs.

Then you won’t have to worry about posts starting with “as an executive” going wrong.

Well, no not really, but I know a board that needs to internalize that sentiment.

The metric for success shouldn’t be a high number of end users reporting phishing emails, but that seems to be what upper management wants to see, which just incentives less resources invested in better scanners with less than a 20% false negative rate.

The eternal battle between the “oh we go by data backed metrics, much measured, I feel this is the best” executive suite and the poor saps beneath twirling the data backed signs going ignored until money or disaster strikes.

Pity businesses aren’t formed from the bottom up; it’s like an octopus deciding not to listen to its arm brains until the shark has a bite of its head.

While I see your point and truth is we’ll just never know, I am afraid you might be a bit naive.

I just don’t see the circumstances for a random burglar to be snooping through folders close enough to find the presumably relatively hidden items they’d need to find, let alone that happening alongside the low odds an actual burglar would risk their own security to do the right thing.

This is exactly what burgling is. Having been the unfortunate victim once not even the spines of my books were safe. Burglars watch the same movies, so they will cut into your cushions, paintings, go through folders, behind outlets.

Then I got way too into a show about two ex burglars who would look for volunteer houses to break into, and yeah. No stone is left unturned and with far more diligence they would ever put in a real job.

I want to commend you for what you’re doing. It doesn’t feel good, but you must remain effective. You can’t re-align schemas through Internet comments however, don’t burn yourself out.

Hah. Absurdist on the surface, and yet if you were to imagine yourself forced to be a vigilante…

Good writing prompt 🤔

Yes, I wish you the best of luck in finding a GP that will listen finely to your subjective experience.

That is absolutely key, and often the most difficult part—especially for anyone with any degree of neurodivergence—to the point I almost gave up trying to advocate for myself.

Even with my (reportedly? I don’t know how these things are measured to be honest) lesser degree of neurodivergence many meds side effects affect me differently.

If you can find a provider that already has experience diagnosing autism in adults, they might be the kind of provider whose opinion on the specifics of the side effects you might want to seek.

I wish you the best of luck in your journey towards ease of being, fellow person.

Not OCD, but ADHD. Otherwise same attitude towards rx drugs, especially since my parents opted against them when first recommended as a child.

In my lucky case, it took 2 hours after taking the stimulant medicine my brain was lacking to maintain a coherence state (aka a flow state), for me to feel like the world’s greatest fool for having waited until I was in my 30s.

The day is literally seared in my memory levels of life changing.

Highly encourage you to discuss with your healthcare/psychiatry provider and strongly consider trying them. The side effects are often charted and entirely avoidable in many cases. The most important thing is a dialogue with a professional.

Nah, that’s definitely the rule. The playbook is as old as communal living.

Lacking a feeling of belonging is the single most exploitable flaw we have. From scammers after your money to wannabe dictators; they all rely on a missing foundation of support around the individuals they seek to radicalize/exploit.

This is why it’s so important to keep an eye out for those kind of people and just talk to them and include them. “Brainwashing” is not an instant—or permanent, but if it’s gelled in it’s hard to advocate for trying to talk there—process.

While the marginalized are fed lies and hate with extreme precision nowadays, there’s always gonna be a window between first exposure and lockstep indoctrination.

That’s why it’s so important to reach out if you know anyone on the margins like that, you might be the only thing stopping that process in time before they’re part of any number of “too far and not them at all” groups of which the fasch and alt-right are currently the biggest but not only examples.

Yeah, it’s not strictly anyone’s responsibility in this world we live in, but I sure think it should be a normal part of being in a community in the world we ought to be fighting for.

Keep being you. Fight that feeling one person at a time, we should all follow that example.

You’re not imagining things, the world is not just “getting weird” but division is sown our way from a multitude of places for their own profits and agendas.

Yet, we must be silenced. The people can not be allowed to speak. Even as dystopia gives the diseased members of the species ever more powerful and abstract tools to divide us, they still fear us talking.

That’s because what you’re doing is literally all it takes to begin eroding the artificial pen walls. We’re made to communicate and tell each other stories, that’s deeply ingrained.

What we’re losing slowly and globally is our sense of cohesion. Neighbor to neighborhood, resident to city, citizen to country, human to human.

All of our innate mental structures that trend towards “making it all work, no matter who is helped because it helps me too” are constantly being twisted and attacked. But we are what we are, so keep fighting the good fight.
