I know ads aren’t designed to be brainwashing machines and are more subliminal [which I’ve never had work on me anyway either], but does anyone else here just…tune them out 99% of the time? Maybe it’s just because I’ve been inundated by them since I was a kid, but legitimately it’s just the same as internet buffering to me
I heard someone refer to Israel as ‘Isrubble’ and I hope it catches on.
My favorite is still ISISrael.
inSHALLAH!!!
Having a bit of beef with the party. Idk why I do this but I have this tendency to let things stack up until I just orbital nuke my relationships with people. It’s not my best trait admittedly.
Are you maybe just giving too much grace? I do that thing where i basically accept it when someone’s behaviour makes sense given their circumstances, but it is still negatively affecting me and eventually they do something a bit too far and can no longer “hide” behind material reality having shaped that behaviour. Then the pent up annoyedness and the valid reaction to that situation gets released at once.
Of course they are not actually hiding or excusing their behaviour, but that’s the word that came to me.

Never thought I’d see something like this in the wild (because it’s painfully relatable).
I attribute some of it to attachment issues in my case, that some part of me wants to distance myself because of anxiety no matter how it’s going, so if I also have an excuse to distance myself, my brain latches onto that hard. But sometimes I do have legit issues too. Sometimes even, I’m flummoxed that others are seemingly ignoring issues that I consider a problem and are sticking around regardless.
I guess the healthy thing would be to bring things up immediately and try to resolve them before resentment builds. But sometimes that’s hard to do in the moment.

This is a common autism trait. Years of masking and coping with with our sensitivities makes us have a high external annoyance threshold but when we reach that threshold we snap. Often we don’t talk about what bothers us because we are bothered by a lot of things. We have been trained to just put up with annoyances because other people don’t feel them so acutely.
So when someone does something annoying we don’t say anything we just try to find ways of dealing with it because we have been taught that everything that bugs us is our fault. Eventually our inability to cope with annoyances without speaking about them causes us to bring up all the problems at once and often we give up on the relationship all together.
i’ve been on a AAA games binge, damn they don’t make em like they used to. fuck open world games, give me back linear but detailed set pieces.
the Dishonored games feel like a warm bath
yea, i tried max payne 3 and its insanely good and i remember it being a flop back in the day lol. There has not been a better pure third person shooter to this day.
The entire Max Payne series is top notch in my opinion.
So…apparently one of the girls at my Uni in a friend group of mine thought I was hitting on them and it made them uncomfortable.
I feel so stupid. I didn’t even know I was. We’ve made up. But now I’m afraid that I’ve made other people uncomfortable. I don’t understand why i don’t work. Why can’t I just be normal?
im autistic i got no clue what going on usually but if someone thinks my decency is flirting that just pisses me off. why am I paying for this dumbass assumption
One time I was at a party and a girl was flirting with me and I didn’t know it and apparently I was acting flirty back. She left to go get a drink or something. I got into another conversation and 20 minutes later I left the party because I was done being around people.
The next day everyone gets mad at me because she had been looking for me and then got upset and ruined the party. I saw her a few days later and tried to apologize and she started yelling at me in front of a service station. and like a half dozen people stopped talking to me for the rest of the summer.
Yeah, apparently i am considered “flirty” and i have no idea how to flirt. It was not uncommon to have a random person flirt with me because they thought i was already flirting with them the entire time lol
Apparently my autistic ass trying to not have a boring conversation is making people blush and you might have the same problem. Is there maybe a way that you can kind of loudly exclaim this being a problem for you so that the people around you know what’s up at least? My friends know of my unconscious “flirting”
It might also entirely be their issue of being too sensitive as well. If this doesn’t happen more often to you then i think she might be the problem here.
its not necessarily your fault, some people think that having a normal conversation is being flirty.
I’ve been really fond of the game Lucid Blocks as of lately. It’s a liminal, dreamy Minecraft clone(complimentary) that reminds me of LSD Dream Simulator in the absurd, non-narrative “walking simulator” that is a tad bit more interactable than Dream Simulator.
It’s good to enjoy when you “make up” stories for the worlds (called Qualia) you create. I always have fun trying to picture that I’m walking through the dreams of random individuals sleeping across the world and adding or attributing meaning to the generation of the worlds and their features on the “dream-state” of the individual I’m walking through.
Cool stuff!
I have not heard of this before! Sounds quite neat. Thank you for the recommendation, comrade!
I’ve spent a surprising amount of time on it!
I followed the trailers, it honestly looks so fascinating to me, like a totally new sort of game. But I’m waiting for an update, because I read in the reviews that the crafting system and other mechanics can be annoying to deal with
It is like modded minecraft in some ways! I wish I could slap Create! on there or something.
Also I know it’s kinda unrelated but it’s your account birthday.
Anyone else feel like an anomaly? Like they’re not supposed to be here, or that something went wrong and you’re a byproduct.
I used to like being called wierd, but…there’s a certain feel to it now. Like I’m almost alien. Maybe it’s just that I haven’t found “my people” (even in my organization that I’m in) but…idk.
Feeling like/being described as/telling people they are an alien is a common theme with autistic people. My cousin and I were both 99% we were aliens between age 8-12. Just saying.
there was something about being refugees from the future or something like that, about revolutionary spirits who have aspirations beyond what we may achieve in our own lifetimes (like full communism, or full gender equality even). if i ever find the quote, i’ll send it straight to you
I’m not sure if I relate in those words. I don’t view myself as a mistake or something. But I have for various reasons spent pretty much my whole life feeling like an outsider in one way or another. I do wonder sometimes though, if I would still feel that way if I were living in a communal society that is more oriented around getting people’s needs met. It’s maybe not such a bad thing that I don’t feel like I belong in the horrible culture that is the US.
Yup. I’m not supposed to fit in! What s relief!
I think it’s starting to set in for me that the war may go on for months or more. The duplicitous nature of both the current US admin and the zionist entity means it’s essentially impossible to have peace talks. Iran’s battle is going to be (with the assistance of other resistance forces in the region) to evict colonialism and imperialism from the region to the extent that peace is even possible and safety is remotely achievable. Without that, it’s just Trump tweeting about talks while greenlighting another attack on civilian infrastructure, or the zionist entity grandstanding about ceasefires and then violating said ceasefires endlessly. Things are at a point where there is nothing really to talk about. The colonial/western presence in the region cannot be trusted for even a week at a time to not work on something violent.
Two and a half year of genocide and nothing happens in our Jewish district, but the day military people get stationed there, all of a sudden a car gets set on fire. What a coincidence!
Media says an ‘antisemitic terrorist group’ claimed the attack but they cannot even be arsed to say who it is supposed to be.
MAGDA: Make America Great Depression Again!
Danish elections are today. Let’s hope Enhedslisten can grow
I hope you all have a nice week :D
Thank you! I hope everyone stays safe, fed, relatively stable/positive, sheltered. Love all of you to the moon and back! 💗
You too comrade!
You too
Thank you comrade oppo!
Thank you comrade, you too!
Hey Oppo, how is the new job?
Have a nice week! ʕ̯•͡ˑ͓•̯᷅ʔ
I don’t know either lol. Cute though :)
What are some good practices when reading? When I read, it takes a while. I’ve had times where I read a page up to 3-4 times before registering it and I don’t know why. I feel like I am not doing something right.
Do you have ADHD by chance? I do and struggle with this very much when unmedicated.
