I didn’t know masturbation was a requirement. I always thought it was just consuming pornographic content at an excessive rate

This is how we ended up with Trump again btw.

Sportsball.

So much wasted money and effort.

Play your games but stop acting like they’re the most important things on the planet.

Pretty much all safety regulations

Every safety rule is written in blood but due to no one getting hurt (because of said rules) people begin to think the rules aren’t necessary.

It’s the same concept with preventative measures like vaccines. Vaccines worked to the point we had an entire generation grow up in a world without the most common forms of debilitating diseases and as a result we now have anti-vaxxers everywhere.

It’s even prevalent in things like the hole in the ozone layer. When it was first discovered EVERYONE was panicking about it. But then we fixed it to the point some people think it was never really a problem at all.

I love that it shows that humans naturally wish to congregate and aid each other.

I hate that it allows the worst types of people to gain influence because humans in general are easily misguided and manipulated.

Gestures at the current state of America

Mix of both.

I got perma banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole because they were defending female genital mutilation while saying circumcision was perfectly fine because uncut penises “looked nasty”.

But I can still access all of reddit. I just can’t comment or upvote/downvote anything. And the nsfw instance of lemmy is a shit show of having to constantly block the same content over and over because there’s eleventy billion versions of the same community.

The irony of that is after I threw it I screamed “You have one fucking job! BE a dvd player!”

Had a dvd player that would skip all the time even if it was a brand new dvd. Got pissed off and threw it at the wall. Girlfriend plugged it back in a couple hours later and it never skipped again.

The fact that there is no discernable difference between an alive body or a dead body when it comes to chemical makeup.

All the pieces are there. All the atoms and molecules are still in the same places. Yet despite this the body is still dead.

No.

No one should want to be me.

If someone wanted to be me I’d feel nothing but pity and shame.

Exactly how I feel about being aspd (sociopathic)

I would judge them heavily in my head and pay very close attention to them to be aware of any attempts at manipulation or anything of the sort.

I understand it’s a complex diagnosis and has many facets that aren’t inherently negative but ignoring the large parts that are inherently negative would be putting yourself in jeopardy.

But as someone with a diagnosis with the same level of negative connotation I’d be more understanding but still wary.

Not every narcissist is a monster just like not every sociopath is a monster despite the general opinion on the matter.

Everyone thought I was left handed until I started playing baseball. I couldn’t swing the bat right or throw the ball at all. It just felt and looked completely unnatural. Then a coach suggested throwing with my right hand and it was clearly obvious my body was fuckin weird

I’m gonna rant for a second here if that’s alright.

FUCK being mixed handed. I’m not right or left handed but I’m not ambidextrous either. I’m what’s called cross dominant and it’s a huge pain in the ass all the time.

Cross dominance is when you don’t use one hand for everything but can’t use both hands for everything. I write with my left hand but throw with my right. I eat with my left hand but punch with my right. That’s not the main issue though. The main issue is I cannot use both my hands at the same time without them running into each other because they both have different instincts. If I were to try to use both hands to put something together I’m likely to end up yeeting whatever it is across the room because my hands got confused and one did the right thing while the other had a fuckin stroke and thought that the necessary thing to do is just fully extend and smack whatever I’m working on.

It’s a small thing that I generally don’t bring up because it’s not that big of a deal and I’ve adapted to only using one hand at a time but it’s still infuriating.

Rant over.

Yo send it to me in a dm these memes are fueling me right now

I smoke all day everyday and drink myself to sleep each night. I’d consider both of those to be unhealthy.

Don’t do this yourself but alcohol and weed. Lots of it. Unhealthy amounts.

Ngl I thought all the stars were the eyes of black cats at first

It’s not just boomers though. I work with a lot of younger people and they all still use xitter/facebook.

They either don’t know/care about alternatives because “everyone else is using it”
