You can’t be a good anything and be a landlord

A good parasite?

Those lyrics hit far too close to home right now…

I know perfectly well what space I’m in, and if the NT encroaching on it didn’t realise (and they did, because they were making excuses for themselves from the get go) them coming from /all would only excuse the first comment, not the rest of the thread where they make it clear that they don’t care that they’re talking over ND’s in our own space.

And yeah, I thought it was a no-brainer that actively reading social media makes it harder to fall asleep while doing so, but these days I’m not so sure how common this “common sense” is.

And there it is.

The NT has ridden in on their white horse to teach all us NDs about their “common sense” that is clearly what we’re lacking…

What would we do without you, oh great neurotypical??? /S

Lmfao, that’s a lot of condescending words to say “no, I will absolutely NOT listen to the people whose space I’m encroaching on and try to learn about their experience and do better for their benefit (or simply walk away), I WILL continue to always centre myself, because that’s all I care about”.

I’ve been on the receiving end of righteous anger for giving neurotypical advice before

And yet the thought to, you know, just fucking not never seems to have crossed your mind…

The “experience I’m facing” that is causing me “anger” is you and your behaviour, no amount of twisting things to justify it to yourself changes that, the least you can do is take some accountability (lmfao, as if… This entire thread is absolutely textbook NT behaviour, including the framing me as “emotional” and yourself as “logical”, and you’ve already made it clear that you don’t give a shit about the impact of your own actions).

Sorry it came across the way it did. I’ll try to be more careful about it in the future, assuming I remember.

Fuck your non apology and your insistent on there being a next time for you to be “careful about it” - you don’t need to “be careful”, what you need is to have some respect for spaces that aren’t for you and the people they are for, and resist your desperate need to insert yourself and your unsolicited unhelpful and uninformed opinions absolutely everywhere.

I thought expressing a bit of solidarity

TIL solidarity means privileged people talking over the experiences of marginalise people in their own space 🙄

I’m autistic and I’m the same but for me it’s less about going a minute without stimulation, more about not wanting to be alone with my thoughts because they’re constant and horrible at best.

Without my tv and pc always on around me (and weed) I don’t think I could sleep at all (pc to scroll/read till my eyes get sleepy, and tv to give my brain external conversation to focus on rather than the one going on in my brain). Even then it’s a struggle, but I’m still 100% more likely to get some sleep with these things on, than I am without (I don’t consider crying for several hours in either frustration or deep despair until my eyes can’t stay open anymore a good enough alternative ¯\(ツ)/¯).

Not everything is about or for you, you don’t always have to chip in, and this is a perfect example of a time where you actually have nothing of much value to contribute to the conversation so should just taken a seat and listen (if you must. Again - some things simply aren’t for you and it’s ok to move on without piping up).

You are literally being the top person in the meme who doesn’t get it. We face several of you a day every single day of our lives.

I hope you take this opportunity to learn and do better in the future, instead of trying to justify, and continuing to centre yourself in conversations that aren’t for you.

I love Rosie and Babatunde too. I also like Jack, but could have sworn he has already been on (back in the Dave days)… Don’t know enough about the other two.

Last couple of series I’ve been finding myself uninterested most episodes, Julian Clary and Susan Wokoma salvaged a few episodes on their series, and the one before that was quite good (love Mae Martin and Frankie Boyle, and Jenny Eclair, Ivo Graham and Kiell Smith-Bynoe were all good too), but the show really has been in a slump, I’m hoping this series will liven it back up a bit…

Fascism, brought to you by…

It’s a vicious cycle - you never actually reach mellow, you’re grasping at it, but the mental nagging is constant, so you’re never actually in the mellow state, just needing a break from that nagging to get there, but it never stops…

I’m in this post and I don’t like it…

If the government gave even a single shit about the poor, they would focus on banning wealth hoarding not wealth flaunting.
But they don’t, so they aren’t.
What they are doing is openly showing who they are and what they do care about (capitalists, on both counts), you not wanting to believe it is a different problem.

My best guess would be because the chocolate cookies don’t contain any chocolate, but rather just cocoa powder.

Might be the photo, but it looks to me like top is vanilla cookie with choc-chip, while bottom is chocolate cookie with choc-chip, making it “double” chocolate.

Definitely could be clearer, but I don’t think they’re making the claim you think they are.

Having originally (and repeatedly) watched it on scratchy video tape, it can’t be worse than that lol

Maybe you should read that link too, and maybe a few others before making such statements.

The whole idea of anarchism and communism is to abolish hierarchy. Things being the way they are now doesn’t mean it is inevitable for them to always be like this.

It says more about you and how much you have to unlearn of your indoctrination (as well as how powerful and successful it is) that you can’t see beyond it, than it does about the possibility of a better future outside of the social constructs you are familiar with (and which have only been around for a tiny blip of human history).

even communism has a 1% north Korea is a good example of this

Lol, tell me you know nothing about communism without saying you know nothing about communism

(a hint for those who won’t even click the link because challenging their bias is too scary: communism by definition cannot have a 1%, and using North Korea as an example of it is like using Nazis as an example of socialism)

Being perceived as “smart” is a privilege, and it’s just as irrelevant to being anti-vaxx as all the other privileges are (in fact, many of those who someone like you might not perceive as “smart” - disabled people, and specifically autistic people, are the open target of anti-vaxx propaganda that frames us as an undesirable thing to be, for, amongst other things, not being “smart”). So I’ll say it again - tons of well educated and otherwise privileged people are anti-vaxxers, and pretending otherwise isn’t just classist and ableist, it’s also just plain wrong and counterproductive.

Lets not pretend tons of well educated and otherwise privileged people aren’t anti-vaxxers.
