@rst oh yeah i'm well aware 😬
the funny part is the Israeli gov also sees them as useful idiots since Jesus isn't coming back for them so it'll be fine

Imagine living in a world where the only thing worse than genocide is not getting the world's blessing for doing your own genocide.
Israeli foreign minister saying Colombia "decided to stand alongside the most vile monsters that history has ever known"
Um, uh, er
@BradRubenstein let's not get crazy dude
@rst that's utterly incoherent. it's a word salad.
not saying it's wrong, just
How insane would would America go if you told them they shouldn't be racist fucks? I mean, we've seen. It's not pretty.
Imagine if there was a bill against anti-blackness getting bandied about.
@SamUpstate there's a lot of pressure on the kids to have labels, both because it's a way to be acknowledged and because it's an excuse for having human flaws, and the world our kids are going up in has no room for human flaws.
@ahmetasabanci well you can come here and down by me then 😁
this is how he got all those elves, isn't it?
sir, i snorted inappropriately loudly.
I kind of feel like I'm living in an age where every facet or quirk of human experience or personality is pathologized, treated, drugged and hash-tagged as fast as possible.
It's ok to just be a little different, to be yourself and have joys and problems without trying to find them in a medical manual so that people believe they're real qualities. If people won't accept your quirks without a DX, fuck 'em. Ugh. This probably means I'm officially old.
@lxo oh yeah totes. i usually describe myself as "oc without the d" i've got a bit of that, not enough to disrupt my life, but sometimes i really need to do things just a certain way 😂
but really not the level of clinical problems. just more clinical quirkiness
@woozle @loops @pettter these answers rarely displace the propriety, locked up and corporatized option, where most people live.
the where most people live part is key. an example of it working out is RSS; that's made the whole world better and we have podcasts and blogging and all that stuff because RSS won out over companies controlling distribution. also; email won interoperability because no one knew to lock it up back in the day.
Why yes, I am the crazy person screaming "they're putting diseased pig guts in your software sausages and YOU'RE JUST LETTING THEM DO IT"
I know I'm such a craaazzzy free software wacko, but was it cool when we did with with food?
We should have the same access to software we're expected to consume as we do to food ingredients, the current standard is nonsense.
Sure I don't know what invertase is but someone does and I like knowing someone has an opinion about that they can go public with.
We live in the "patent medicine" era of software.
@lxo mirroring is a very normal and healthy human behavior, in fact the lack of it is usually one of the first and most suggestive signs of autism.
I don't know about the walking thing, though i imagine it only works with people around your own size 😂
but most of that sounds like normal human development. if you didn't try to sounds like the grown ups, you wouldn't acquire language, etc.
@lxo honestly most of *that* just sounds normal to me. accents, phrases, gestures without thinking is just language acquisition. if you can do that as an adult anywhere near how you did it as a kid you might be one of those language acquiring people i envy so much. (my partner knows 4 languages, i'm so angry 😁)
@lxo my original point about me is that sometimes i build rapport so quickly with people that they often assume i am like them, and sometimes i need to undo that, and sometimes they insist i'm like them when i'm not.
@Aphrodite There's no anxiety, it's just mirroring and empathy.
Well there might be some anxiety if the other person is anxious, but often it helps me calm down anxious people.
Like how you line up your breathing with someone elses, and then breath more slowly.
Writer, migrant, surprisingly nice in person. Old queer. I would rather be blocked than tone policed. More meme literate than I should be at this age. I mainly shitpost, then sometimes make you cry.
