I think it's a lot of that, some people being genuinely ignorant about the condition, and a reflexive reaction to the racism specifically because that gets excused away so often. It's unfortunate that this is one of the few cases when it actually is more complicated. I feel awful for everyone.

So many people confidently stating that a disability could never make someone do the exact specific thing this man's disability makes people do.

Lol payroll is one of the biggest thing you cannot fuck up even a little or you might immediately get fired (I work in accounting).

The people doing terrible things right now certainly believed that those things were possible long before they were so we have to be doing that too. Nothing happens unless you make it so and that starts with the belief that you can.

Some people see "dumb" and think it's means you're saying they're harmless but that's obviously not what you mean at all. Understanding that he's dumb helps us better understand the specific ways he's dangerous.

One time I was looking at my phone in my car in the parking lot at work and one popped out from behind a bush and stared me down and I drove to the other side of the parking lot before getting out.

Yes! The premise of girl dinner is choosing to have something a certain way just for yourself and opting out of gendered labor expectations, not being incapable of making a "real" dinner, which I think is an important difference.

This is why I really hated "girl math". There's nothing gendered or empowering about it. You can consider money from a return "free" to spend without doing all of that. You're still doing a form of budgeting which is good!

It has been funny to see recognizing this pattern framed as some kind of mistake. "You just think it's overhyped because the last several things were!" I do and I also think so based on the merits of the thing itself, so here we are.

Yes sorry, I didn't mean you! I meant the same people you were referring to. I was glad to see you bring this up because I have been bothered by people jumping to make this about an issue we don't even know he had.

Even people who do all the conventional things first sometimes end up wanting to do the other stuff as they near the end. There are many different things that could have been happening with his health and finances and I don't like how so many people are jumping to conclusions we can't know.

I'm sure it's always been true but repression in general seems like a hugely relevant piece of so much that's going on lately. They don't want to learn or grow, they want to pretend the thing they want and participate in doesn't exist at all. It's almost like they've made repression a kink too.

Chappell Roan Says She’s Voting for Kamala Harris, but “Endorsing and Voting Are Completely Different” "There is no way I can stand behind some of the left's completely transphobic and completely genocidal views," the singer said, adding that "voting is all we have right now in the system."

She had a better and more relatable position than most! I saw nothing wrong with it at the time and think its aged well considering how Dems as a party have acted since. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Earlier today I explained to him how collateralized loans work.

Halfway through my nine year old was like "wait we should be recording this!"

It's soulless optimization all the way down.

There was a whole issue with some of the suits being too baggy in the 2022 Olympics so that's when I learned about the crotch sails but I never could have imagined it escalating to this hilarious level.

Oh the Tiktok witches have been on this since at least around the 2024 election!

It feels like this is part of a larger trend in this direction. People are trying to capture an "aesthetic" or label that is divorced from meaning because they don't actually participate in the thing they want to be associated with. They just buy stuff to communicate that association.

I do not think the most significant cultural shifts will come from a World War, Class War, Race War, or whatever other battle people weirdly fantasize about. I think it’ll be an integration of the idea that children are people and not the property of their parents.

I really admire how (and how often) you talk about this. It would change everything.

Every time I watch the show I think about a review of the first season that said "The Pitt holds a mirror up to our troubled modern society and reflects back the humanity we still have in spite of it." When you put it that way, it makes so much sense why it connected with people.

I imagine a number of people in places that haven't been as directly affected yet are ready to prove they will whistle and yell in their faces too.

When we first moved in together I was watching Project Runway and my husband was just kind of around, but then someone got eliminated and he suddenly had some very strong opinions about it and started citing examples I didn't even realize he had seen.

I understand why he didn't listen to or know about the song but the song is such incredible art and essential to appreciating the album as a whole that it still makes me mad. Telling her the right person might change her mind when she says in the song she's thinking about it because she found him!

The fact that the name Moonfall could fit for a high concept prestigey sci fi movie with awards buzz where it's some kind of metaphor and yet it's just like no bro...the moon is falling. Chef's kiss.

I didn't understand that the premise was that they're all siblings and I absolutely thought they were being established as love interests for an embarrassing amount of season 1.

I've noticed this too. And a few accounts moving from careful complete silence to the generic "take care of yourself" now. I think people are both being moved and feeling social pressure.

Loser energy all the way down.

Her most interesting accomplishment is how aggressively she has managed to make herself so uninteresting to anyone.
