Congress just would’ve gone remote, further illustrating that we’ve already lost no matter what happens

Still way too many

Non-voters stay winning though

My irl ML friend moved last year deeper-sadness

Only DSA comrade I routinely agreed with. Them our DSA group died lol

That’s good to hear, I guess my main problem is that I am very quick to compare myself to others so when I see someone from high school who has “branched out” and no longer interacts with myself or others from the same period, I feel like I have failed.

It really is so ominous that adults are treated like children by authority figures without some of the most cherished benefits.

I always think back to the line in simulacra and simulation about how the world wants to be childish to make use believe that the adults are elsewhere despite the fact that childishness is everywhere (I don’t know if that’s what they were getting at exactly but it’s how I interpret it). We are unable to be ourselves as adults which adversely affects developing real and long lasting relationships.

Even having virtual friends you interact with often doesn’t mean the same imo.

Not any less valid but not as deep in my experience

Just having shared interests or goals isn't enough.

This is probably the hardest pill to swallow tbh. It’s not like I haven’t tried to find people who share the same interests as me, but there’s never a “spark” comparable to the existing relationships

And the spark is almost an implicit one for the long lasting relationships I’m talking about

I would LOVE to be able to branch out, but as much as I’ve tried in my almost 30 years, it always ends as nothing but a wet fart. Most of the people who I do vibe with (and who tolerate me) exist in the form of potential romantic interests and it just doesn’t work out. I can’t find that “line” of platonicness and romance. From that perspective then, I guess it makes sense why my friendships/commections ceased formation in my adolescence. Doesn’t make it suck any less though lolololol

So many ways in which this shithole country is still hopelessly stuck in the past

And we’ll never get out without force (and force is swiftly crushed by the shithole’s surveillance apparatus)

The fact that all children are inherently objectivist is such a hard pill to swallow 😔

Him refusing to move even slightly left of Bernie sanders after 10 fucking years is absolutely wild to see

Must want to stay comfortable

I’m guessing not, but at least they have data privacy laws. Better than nothing I suppose

Amazing how my negative feelings toward this have only grown to adventure time mode since the seemingly overnight and carefully curated fascination with LLMs.

I truly wish someone would do something. Like legitimately anything

Shit’s only getting worse and worse in the industry

Incredible. As an email factory job-haver, I have yet to hear a convincing argument for RTO that isn’t complete horseshit.

When your work is effectively cycles of sitting down to look at the computer mixed with pissing, it’s beyond dystopian to mandate your presence in a company-owned space.

If this isn’t something humans can all agree on, we are beyond fucking cooked.

That’s like the one of the only ways I’ve managed to meet people (THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE LIFE) and it sucks so so fucking much because finding someone who is reciprocative to that type of shit is so damn hard-especially in the era of instagram reels and TikTok

Is there a way to learn to socialize “normally” I’ve learned that I’m going to be very lonely if I don’t figure out how especially with my current career (god this just reminds me of how soulless my current job is)

I’m really starting to learn how my brain chemistry almost lines up with my politics (as in how I am foolishly passionate about how I would prefer everyone be forced to live with the same amount of resources and be forced to understand how it’s not about the community.

But yeah sometimes that shit comes out at inopportune times and I have legit seen it make my friends lose their jobs

But yes this still explains why I need to learn better acceptable small talk and how to approach bringing up that small talk without seemingly coming out of nowhere

Just so wild to me. I now work with people who make massive screw ups on the regular. In any case, is there a name for this sort of fantastical boot camp I described?

Chat, I haven’t been able to stop listening to this shit. Been on repeat since about 10 AM

I understand why the semi-niche memes about this album exist now

It’s like you’re super engaged and feel like you could do x forever until you suddenly crash. Then you’re bored for either a second or like a month (no rhyme or reason but the chaos in front of you) until the next thing comes along. But Godamn that boredom is real and often leads to sadness. I need a why to the whole thing

Christ I don’t know if this is relatable, but it explains a lot of my problems be it people I’m obsessed with for a sec and genuinely think I love or a different type of work assignment or a hobby of some kind

58

It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s that I literally do not know what to do. Like why do some people get hugs without initiating and just assume I don’t like hugs

Is this relatable whatsoever

45

Why are people arguing sentience and not the fact that this is another attempt to completely remove a sector of the workforce the way Covid was the conduit to remove a complete sector of the outside world? This shit is valued at nearly 200 billion dollars

I a long-winded way of saying “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

This irks me chat. This is an elephant in the room that should be causing mass chaos

It’s just really really hard for me to accept I guess, but that quality is super important in climbing the fascist corporate ladder. Missed out a spot in the social hierarchy with my mega social awkwardness though

But yeah, preaching to the choir, but the higher you climb in corporate America, the less value you produce and the more you get paid.

Maybe we should skip unions and fast forward to finding like-minded people for well-regulated militias. Death to America

36

Like I genuinely feel if I’ve heard a song enough times, I can repeat it in my head and still get the same enjoyment as actually listening to it. Maybe everyone can do that idk

But I do know that the only thing I don’t have is speed, otherwise I’d basically have perfect pitch 🥲

And it’s hitting as hard as it probably could right now. Does anyone else wish they could just live life in a vacuum, their decisions completely unperceived
