Name it whatever. An alarming number of Amerikkkans can’t read anyway

Got laid off from my career job in broadcasting and picked up work unloading trucks at Walmart at night. Hated it but needed the money. One night, when I was already at my wit’s end due to being treated like a child as seems to be the company’s SOP, I was unloading a row from the truck and it collapsed on me. Corner of a box hit me just below the eye and cut the skin. So I’m in the employee bathroom with a cold paper towel trying to get it to stop bleeding while cursing to myself. Not yelling but normal speaking volume. I guess it was audible through the door because I step out and a manager is there. The first thing they say isn’t asking if I’m ok, but rather chastising me for cursing telling me to stop. I look at her, say “like fuck I do,” take my name badge off and toss it at her feet and walk out.

You don’t know how a person on the street or anywhere else will respond to ANY interaction. By this logic we just shouldn’t talk to one another.

We ALL get it. You’re burned out. Take a seat champ. You’re also alone in your thinking here and trying to force others to commit to saying fuck off to any who want to genuinely learn and maybe help our communities.

The whole “I’m not your Google” shtick has done more to harm marginalized communities and minorities than it’s helped. People who are “ally-curious” often are afraid to expand their knowledge by asking first hand experiences. So they go and Google shit. And then they come to their own conclusions and are subsequently shit on by people in the very community they support because they’re accused of assuming one’s experience.

I’m trans in a small town of about 7k. I can say with certainty that my openness to have respectful conversations about it when asked has improved things overall. If I had taken the stance presented here, the first, and likely ONLY first hand conversation with a trans person these people would ever have would have been a negative one and therefor painted us ALL negatively.

Just get back to having open, honest fucking conversations people.

Fuck. Just… FUCK. This just pisses me off.

Ok. Deeeeeep breaths.

As someone who couldn’t drive for several years due to epilepsy, and living in an area with precisely zero public transportation, can confirm. My mental health improved dramatically once I felt I was in control of when and where I could go again.

And the public transportation bit is the biggest hurdle in the US. It’s a very spread out country and public transportation, trains, and the like are not seen as a priority for those spending the tax dollars.

I’m sorry for being a bit rude to your mother

I was so hoping this would come to my theater. Instead they’ve got like 3 screws dedicated to holiday films from the 2000s

And with the AI bullshit, I’m reminded of Rule of Acquisition #82: The flimsier the product, the higher the price.

The way I understand it is absurdism maintains it’s necessary to embrace the absurdity of existence and laugh in its face. Optimistic Nihilism says nothing matters, so might as well be happy.

I’m likely really oversimplifying and am misspeaking, but that’s what I learned this am.

I think that’s pretty similar to Optimistic Nihilism except some subtle differences.

I’d actually not heard of absurdism until now. I’ve considered myself an optimistic nihilist for some time so this sent me down a nice research rabbit hole regarding absurdism and its overlap and differences with optimistic nihilism. I’d give you two upvotes if I could for the stimulating morning!

And dick. Don’t forget dick 🍆

I truly don’t understand what people think is going to come from this. SHOULD these pedophiles be held accountable? Absolutely. Every last one of them regardless of political affiliation. But for real, there won’t be any consequences. No real ones at any rate. Nothing beyond a public shaming and maybe another feckless impeachment.

That’s the world we live in. There are no consequences for the ultra rich and powerful. None.

Exactly. No sense in fighting it. Might as well start there. Who am I to swim against the river? 🏴‍☠️
