  • Wages/salaries remaining the same while the cost of everything else goes up is a form of class war 🥰

  • Y’all know how frothingfash always long for the good old days of amerikkka where it was basically an ethnostate and necessities were affordable for lmayo

    Do you think people were less atomized then and ya know, actually talked to one another? Or am I imagining a utopia that has never existed. Because it just seems so weird to me that so many people can be out in public at the same time but also be in their own bubbles

  • Lol I’ve never had more friends in my life than I do right now but the fact that they’re all partnered makes me feel the loneliest I’ve ever been agony-shivering

  • Teen says she was sent home from Chick-fil-A job for having an ‘unnatural’ hair color: Blond
  • To be honest, interviews should be blind with fake names and voice modulators

    We have all the tech to make this the reality but still don’t. Hmmm

  • I am already underweight 😔 I did row for a bit earlier this year, but it caused me to lose weight because I can’t eat enough

    1. Food is expensive as shit
    2. I am not good at cooking
    3. rowing burns a ridiculous amount of calories

  • Imagine for a second being a human who decides, “Yeah, I think I totally want to run a brand account on tik tok and make comments about some of the products the brand has to offer!”

    Absolute soulless behavior

  • It definitely feels like the vibes have shifted, doesn’t it? I think the people I do know who have had luck with those apps had that luck years ago (2018 and 2020)

  • I actually met my last partner on bumble, though it didn’t end well lol probably should have never been in that relationship to begin with

    Which partially adds to my argument. Relationships aren’t only about hooking up and that’s kind od what they’ve turned into, everything else takes a backseat. I don’t deny that people have found long-lasting relationships and even marriages with those apps, but I’m willing to say it is the exception and not the rule.

    And it all stems from some fucks in Silicon Valley trying to play algorithmic matchmaker and turn dating into a queue. Who knows maybe I’ll cave and try it again later (and hopefully change my outlook) but I’m done for now.

  • I fucking hate online dating

    How do people have success from matching and going on dates with someone based on a few carefully selected photos and text blobs

    Does anyone else feel as though they don’t quite fit into one of the neurodivergent “buckets” when it comes to interests?

    I’ve honestly been doing my best to not categorize myself as completely neurodivergent and instead seeing it as a part of me (because I feel like sometimes it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy) but lately I’ve noticed I don’t really have the same interests as other NDs in my life.

    Personality wise, I just can’t seem to be able to get into video games, anime, tv shows, movies, card games (magic the gathering for example) or really anything that most NDs find interesting. Of course, ND covers a wide umbrella so I’m mainly referring to some of the most (seemingly) common divergent neurotypes (ADHD and ASD).

    I think this is what drives a lot of my loneliness, though I am curious whether others are able to relate 🥲 I genuinely try to get interested in some of the things I mentioned above, but I think what proves that I am not interested is the fact that most of those things feel like a chore (even though they’re supposed to be fun)

    Lmao when meeting people (be it dating or trying to make friends) seems like there’s always a point where I scare people away

    And the “scare people away” thing is usually something painfully innocuous like me moving my appendages in a quirky way or being too passionate about something that I find interesting

    Where tf are you all irl?

    So uhhhh. Fuck

    I came to the realization yesterday that the feeling of perceiving myself from the outside I get while high is literally just me unmasking and realizing my “true self” which I have avoided my entire life. And it’s quite miserable

    So keep masking if you can 👍

    Something in particular that drives me up the fucking wall

    My mother has a neurological condition. This condition makes her feel like at times, her feet are being stabbed. Of course this isn’t happening irl, but the majority of decent people wouldn’t tell her that “facts don’t care about the fact that her brain makes her feel like she is being stabbed”

    So why don’t we apply this same reasoning to gender? If I say “I don’t feel X”, my concerns will be dismissed because I look like X.

    Don’t even know how to make sense of this blatant contradiction

    What are the words the average person would use to describe these experiences which all give off the same energy

    Needing experience to get a job Needing existing friends to make more friends Needing relationship history to begin a relationship

    I guess I’m just trying to say that everything seems unattainable if you’re atypical maybe? I know some of these phenomena can be felt/noticed by all people regardless of neurotype but they seem to be more common for NTs like myself

    Does this sound like a neurodiverse thing

    Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been able to make friends with people presenting as all genders. But there seems to be this unspoken rule that it is impossible for (presenting) men and women to be friends

    Like, a man and a woman hanging out and just shooting the shit then going their separate ways seems unheard of at my age. Idk maybe it’s more of straight people thing more than anything, but it sucks 👍

    My dumbass just realized that the reason I suck at math is because I never learned the very basics of number theory as a child

    And I sort of just recognized where to substitute the right variable(s) and that continued from kindergarten to discrete math

    Kinda want to go back and learn, but I’m convinced that there was a window in my life to learn those skills and I missed it

    Just autistic things
