hot take, too much gaslighting from a parent as a child turns you into an argumentative person desperate to prove your version of events bo you're used to being dismissed in an unfair power structure

I can't help but notice that it's always vtubers who are very pretty women IRL who encourage other vtubers to post their own faces. I also can't help but remember all those papers about how women sabotage other women they view as potential competition...

@LoneRangifer When I was a child I was taught to respect the spaces I was in, not litter and stay clean. That is the standard that should be maintained.

@ProctorZ Wow, you must really hate children. ‘Run rampant’. ‘Smelly.’ If you don’t like kids playing outdoors, but you want a nice neat park in your neighbourhood, then who do you imagine making use of this space and how? Is it a community space?

I conducted a little social experiment in the last few weeks. I am currently doing a night class. To get there I wait at a bus stop by a park for 30 minutes. This park is filthy and heavily overgrown. I have never seen anyone take care of it. It is not technically a public park, but belongs to the nearby council office. People treat it as a public park anyway. Their kids run rampant on it and they casually dump their trash in it. Now, I'm a gardener. I hate to see land ruined. So with my thirty free minutes each day, I started weeding. Got rid of a ton of brambles and ivy. Never hid what I was doing. Today after the fourth day of doing this, I encounter a harassed looking guy in overalls. He claims to be the gardener here and that while he appreciates my efforts, I can't do this because I'm an 'insurance risk'. So, trampling over the grounds is fine. Littering is fine. Letting your smelly children wander everywhere is fine. But pulling weeds? That specifically needs to be addressed and dealt with by a guy I've never seen before and may indeed have been spawned out of thin air by government witchcraft in order to disrupt my activities. Well, fuck him and fuck his insurance. I'm weeding the flagstones now. Take that, petty government officials. I'll improve the civic character of the neighbourhood and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

In my third week of welding class and I feel like it's a calling I never heard until now. Test is in two weeks. Pretty sure I'll pass easily. Going back for more in August.

@strcyup @Fiery_Blue750 You are a genuinely revolting person.

@Fiery_Blue750 “abusing”. no teen boy is abused from having sexual encounters with a semi-attractive woman. don’t be a moron. males are damaged from lack of sexual experience, not sexual experience

A study showed that between a quarter and a third of women straight up admitted sexually abusing young boys. We're just hearing about these cases more now archive.org/details/isbn_1…

#coreofmidas #midasterpices More retro style practice turned into a full-blown art piece. Mighta missed Golden week, but Midas is always golden! :3

@If_You_Seiso Maybe I'll print one out...

@ProctorZ I'm pretty sure if you just show him your weeding license there's not a damn thing he can do to stop you.

@iniemohk So Warthunder.

Someone should make a video game that is actively harmful, not like its propaganda for dangerous opinions but just simply playing it somehow measurably deteriorates your physical/mental/emotional health like just booting it up and playing for an hour guarantees you ruin your day

“wHy aRe tHerE iNdiaNs In pOrTuGaL?!” Because they are good slaves, you are not. I hate essay-posting but allow me a rare indulgence: To understand what is happening now, you need understand that this isn’t the first time it’s happened. Why are there Indians in Kenya? Suriname? Fiji? Burma? Because Indians have always been the preferred servile class of elites. The evidence for this goes back hundreds of years. I’ve spoken about British colonial Burma before, and it is a great example of what this looks like. Even after extensive efforts to bring them to heel, the majority of the Burmese ethnic groups were far too resistant to submit to the British empire to be reliable labor. They refused to abandon their culture and ways of life to be slave drones for British pocketbooks. So the Brits started importing Indians to be their colonial administrators, preferring them as labor because they were easier to control and satisfy. By the 1940s, Indians made up almost 20% of the population of the entire country. Another great historical example of this is Suriname - a small country in South America that had been under Dutch colonial rule for 300 years. The Dutch abolished slavery in 1863, forcing colonial plantation owners to have to hire labor to do the work they had previously been using slaves for. But… they didn’t want to pay former slaves or Indigenous locals a living wage for the work. So what did the Dutch elites do instead? Import Indians. Today, Indians still make up 27% of the population. 27%. Of a tiny, obscure South American country. We could basically go through the list of every country with a non-negligible Indian population and the theme would be consistent: They were brought there by elites who needed a submissive, easily exploitable labor pool when local labor asked for better living conditions or wages. Why? Because Indians never did. They are a population that seems fully content with subjugation (even Marx noticed this). So it’s easy to see why they were such an ideal population for the intensive global expansion era of colonial empires. And it’s even easier to see why they are perfect subjects for late capitalism now. They are the culturally, psychologically, and physically ideal organism for the dominant system. There’s 1.4 billion of them. They are deeply socially stratified and so expect and even enjoy inequality. Their cuisine is cheap, meat-free slop. They live amongst trash and filth with no qualms. They don’t care about the environment. Their reaction to death and abuse is blank-eyed indifference. They are physically and spiritually malleable. They not only adopt and internalize the demands of the dominant system as personal ambition, they believe this servitude makes them better than everyone else who hasn’t. Absolutely IDEAL subjects. You, on the other hand, are not the ideal subject. You want to live in a high-trust society. You would shed tears if someone tried to cut down the apple tree you climbed as a child to build a data center. You want to see and experience beauty. You want your own space. You have an expectation that your living conditions will improve over time. You would not be content to live in a room with 10 other people, work 16 hours per day for pennies, and eat cheap slop. You are a liability. Just like the Burmese and Surinamese slaves were. And as we continue to crawl deeper into this late capitalist hellscape, you and your silly little needs will come into increasing conflict with those of the system. Thus, you WILL be replaced by people far easier to control and far less concerned about their own welfare or the welfare of everyone and everything around them. … Unless you do something about it. But the system has already locked-in that you won’t, and that you’ll just sort of fade into nothingness, distracted by meaningless comforts and terrified of the uncertainty of change. So “why are Indians in [wherever]?” Because you are about to not be.

@SneedSinclair I already met several TVA people IRL. It's when the LATAMs get together that I worry.

@ProctorZ If there's ever a TVA meetup, it'll end in several fistfights.

Autistic people in my experience are either the most enjoyable people to interact with as another autistic person... Or we are mutually incompatible to the point voluntary disengagement is the only alternative to violence. There is very, very rarely an in-between.

Hi!!! Just partnered with mosobox and dropped some cool merch! Check it out! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ shop.moso.moe/tag/sissyphus-…

This is the best opening paragraph of any textbook I’ve ever read. As a bonus it makes for a terrific start for a horror plot.

I can feel her tugging on my spool and I'm not sure I'm into it.
