Yes! It premiered last night, first 2 episodes were brilliant, and I’m trying really hard not to binge the rest so that I can make it last

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 🙄

you’re always free to walk away.

Yeah, and die of starvation or exposure, which ever comes first…
Maybe take a look around at the reality most people face before giving such out of touch advice…

made a pretty weird video about autism, using the fact that his son has it as like qualification for him to talk about it. folks with autism tried to talk to him about the problematic nature of the video in the comments, and he just blocked them.

So typical Autism Parent™ then lol it’s like they can’t help but make it about themselves… 🙄

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 thought folks here especially would appreciate this song lol

(also transcribed by ear and vague memory of the subtitles during the episode lol, if you think I got it wrong let me know!)

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…

There is not a single afab person I know that doesn’t remember when they got their first period.

I could tell you not only how old I was, but where I was, about what time of day it was when I first found out, and how long it lasted.

This idea that women and girl’s memories and knowledge of our own bodies can’t be trusted is nothing but good old fashioned misogyny, and it’s this kind of bullshit assumption as a starting point that is one of a variety of reasons we get treated so much worse by medical professionals (and society in general, like when we get doubted and even blamed when we get sexually attacked or harassed).

Maybe instead of trying to pick holes in our experience, which you clearly know nothing about, just shut the fuck up and listen? You don’t always have to chip in, your ignorant opinion really isn’t that valuable…

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.

I eat coleslaw right out of the tub, but would hard pass on this. Just the thought of biting in to frozen cabbage makes my teeth hurt lol

Not sure I agree that conservatives can both “choose” to be like they are, and also be the victims of their upbringing in a toxic system. These 2 points you made seem to be contradictory.

Not really.

We are all subjected to the same propaganda, yet we’re not all conservatives, that’s enough to prove that there is choice involved (even if the choices are limited, and opinions externally influenced by and for the ruling class), but more to the point - no one is born conservative, and no one is forced in any way to support one political party or another, political affiliation isn’t something someone can’t help or control or change, making it a choice, unlike race, gender, sexual orientation, abledness, place and circumstances of birth, and so on, which are not.

Liberals play along plenty in to the division sown by the ruling class, but lets be fucking clear - conservatives choose to be that way, and are actively and vocally contributing to the problem, unlike Jews, immigrants, disabled people and so on…

Is working class conservative Joe Shmoe responsible for the system and the one who needs to be removed from society? No, they’re as much a victim of it (and its brain washing propaganda) as any other working class person, and sure, many liberals fail to see this, but to compare calling out people who choose to actively support open and proud oppressors for their contribution, to scapegoating the people they oppress for existing as who they are, for the problems of society, is fucking gross.

E: seriously, conservatives uphold conservatism - there is no conspiracy. 🤦‍♀️
