I found a comment on that other site as a reply asking if this is legit and they linked this as supposed evidence that this came from the Catholic church.

The image didn’t but it rebels against what Francis said (there are quotes in that link) where he likened the idea that gender exists on a spectrum to the destructive capability of nuclear arms.

Or, more succinctly, he said believing in gender as a spectrum is just as destructive as dropping a nuclear bomb and “annihilating in a few instants a very high number of human beings.”

Fuck 'im.

All the helmets painted with her markings…

Love this.

And I got here before the pizzacake hateclub? Will wonders never cease.

No one should make or buy these but Wnitewrter is like the Ermagerd version of Whitewater and it slayed me. In a meme way.

I didn’t even respond. The audacity to compare dark decisions made to maximize saving life with an attitude of political apathy had to be trolling. Deeply unserious.

I feel so fucking seen right now.

I am constantly baffled by what makes my switch flip. I’m often more baffled than the people around me.

The thing that’s extra hilarious about this to me is people will see it as a compliment to fascism, and antifascists will see it as the mosh pit of ideas.

Fuck this.

Let’s be real bare bones about this.

In Tennessee, 2 million people voted for Trump.

1 million voted for Harris.

The vibe is, “Those 1 million people can’t fix their situation so they should be just as fucked as the other 2.”

And that’s wrong. It’s wrong to condemn whole swaths of humanity based on where they live, but even if you’re dick enough to say “FAFO” when real humans suffer, you shouldn’t be willing to throw your own allies under the bus based on arbitrary lines on the ground.

And I’m a first responder, don’t talk to me about compassion fatigue, it’s not an excuse not to help someone who needs it.

“I have all this energy inside and I can’t use it how I want!!”

“I have all this energy outside and it’s using me how it wants!!”

I once said something about hating tankies and got name-checked into a thread there. I explained that I don’t care for authoritarianism of any kind, and one mouthy punk kept trying to rile me up.

Y’all got a reputation for a reason.

(There were others who were chill about it, but people tend to remember loud assholes better than chill people.)

My new headcanon. Holy hell that’s genius.

Don’t be a devil’s advocate. Devils can advocate for themselves.

I had to post three or four warnings to my friend group that said, “The following is not a cry for help, I promise I’m fine” before I posted this.

Worth it.

I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

Every time it happens I shake my phone and yell, “Just let me give you money!!”

Yes! Every other month it drops me!

Literally I use my glasses as the example whenever I face an, “it’s not natural!” Argument.

Friend, this is an ADHD community. Not a, “have you tried changing your outlook” community.

I figured you weren’t! And I don’t blame you for jumping to someone’s defense. We need more people like that, so thanks.

I can’t say yours can. But mine was.

Let me clarify; by getting on a medicine to regulate my sleep (I have delayed sleep phase, and of course I was depressed not sleeping) and getting on an ADHD med to help me with… all this, after a few years of working with my doctor and providing monthly feedback, I was able to fix the things that caused my depression.

I like to warn people it’s not overnight. And it’s a process. And it takes time. But I went from constant, high-key, wish I was dead, tried to die a couple times… to happy. Capable. Well-rested. Looking forward to the rest of my life. Because even if some things are hard, making myself get up in the morning isn’t anymore. I find joy in things. Even small things. I can do the fucking laundry. And I only rarely get so overwhelmed with the idea of doing all the stupid stuff I have to do to live!

When you’re as depressed as I was, just the thought that maybe, one day, even if it’s years away, it wouldn’t suck every single moment felt so close to something like hope that I needed that. I know I’m not alone. I know other people need that now.

So I try and tell people every single day (I do most of it in person but I try to do it online), if you’re willing to put in the effort just a bit… things already suck right? May as well suck with an option they might not later.

But if I could go back in time I would absolutely tell myself, prioritize the sleep first. Make sure you get something that helps you sleep, but doesn’t make you sleep too long, and you can wake up without being a zombie. Everything else went much better and faster for me after that one thing was figured out.

You’re entitled to your feelings. Doesn’t bother me one bit.

I can remember what I’ve seen and share my opinions on it, same as anybody else. I wouldn’t call that an “unhealthy hangup” so much as “remembering why you don’t care for someone.”

Now, could I continue to make this case? Sure. Could I provide evidence? Absolutely. But I am not going to hyperfocus on this, I’m not interested in running a crusade, and I don’t owe anybody here anything.

I think that would be unhealthy.

Besides, several people here have gone forth with the impression to let someone have a fresh start. That’s a valid way to want to live. I can’t do that, but I won’t try and step on other people trying to believe in the good in people.

If you think I’m an asshole for saying someone has a reputation that they earned, that’s fine. If you think I’m an asshole for saying I think sharing an instance with them is cringe, that’s fine, too. I don’t regret making an attempt at finding someone else saying something I would say, and sharing that, because it wastes as little of my time on an issue as possible.

The more I dig in on something, the higher the risk of hyperfixation on it, and there is nothing to be gained here by anyone if I hyperfixate on why I dislike someone.

I’m trying to engage in this discussion, but do it as lightly as possible, which is why I’m only replying to one reply I get at a time in this thread and move on. (I responded to yours this time. I’ll be ignoring all others here for the rest of the night.)
