@weaverobotics I know how this plays out

Today, we’re launching our home robot Isaac 1. Isaac 1 deliveries will begin this fall. Order yours below.

every day we’re closer to chibi-robo

I've never met an honest person who wasn't also brave. If you don't practice courage, you end up lying to yourself constantly, to prop up your own ego, and those lies inevitably make life hell for you and everyone who loves you.

@lerpclide40920 who brought it up

Im on bumble talking to fat girls about food

@IterIntellectus being underweight was the worst they’ve ever been for me

the wife said it’s impossible for a skinny woman to have hip dips. is this true?

@escapefrommelos That’s because it’s impossible

genuinely insane titmeat-to-bodyfat ratio, i’ve never seen anything like it

@megantheevalium she’s more right than not

when i let my mom talk for too long she starts going on about how jesus’s blood was purple not red because he was from an advanced civilization and the church keeps this from us and that prayer has frequencies that send it to the person you’re praying for. like ok that’s my cue to leave

@PaulSkallas I know that ring size go crazy

@DROWNlNGMAN wtf white guy with brown hair and brown eyes is the elite

My brother in law tries to say this and use this in arguments as a manipulative salesman tactic that he says “applies to everyone” but it’s just not always true. I am only offended when I hear an untrue criticism about myself because I’m offended that they don’t know me well enough to accurately criticize me. When I hear a true criticism I’m almost appreciative (even if it hurts) because I feel understood and known at least. Basically the only time I’m offended is if it’s totally off base and I don’t think I’m the only one that feels like this

You can tell a person's weakness by what offends them Tell an obviously smart/beautiful person that they're stupid/ugly and it has no effect, they know it's wrong. But treat a stupid person like they're incompetent and they will lose their mind

@ByzantineBarbie There’s something so comforting about this photo that can’t be understood without being someone that wore polka dot skirts in 2012. But maybe I’m wrong

This is how I feel today

@Romy_Holland you also just really don’t want to be paying fast food rates for anyone that takes care of your kids. There’s basically no amount of money that will make someone care for your children like you would, hedging your bets is the smartest move

@Romy_Holland if you want to hire someone aged 14-18 it probably goes for $20 an hour still but my starting rate as a nanny in 2020 was $25 and it was pretty standard then, $30 for CA seems reasonable now tbh

i’m trying to find a part time babysitter in july and a ppl keep telling me their rate is $30/hr. this seems high to me? babysitting one kid for a few hours is a low skill and pretty chill job. it’s equivalent in skill to being a fast food employee, which pays $20/hr.

@SCHIZO_FREQ After a childhood of embarrassment, I forced myself into being oblivious about it or at least deluding myself into being oblivious about it and honestly, it totally worked. It turned into my greatest power

Embarrassment might be a totally useless emotion Nobody ever reacts to feeling embarrassed by doing something helpful - they exclusively freak out and make things much worse I imagine that being totally oblivious to the fact you're embarrassing yourself is kind of a superpower

@artsenju518 @RT_com I bet he could sink a three pointer

@RT_com He’s famous for his very handsome mannerisms.

Racism fixes this. When enough people get fed up and become brazenly, unabashedly racist again, and it dawns on them, “wait a minute…this actually sucks, no one likes it, and we don’t have to take it? So what are we doing?” then various committees can swiftly agree on what distinct characteristics indicate someone is a useless nuisance who brings negative value to the world, and manage the waste accordingly. Wait until the millennial era is completely out of the picture and there’s no one left to care/remember/take seriously the politically correct status quo. People are increasingly going to take what they see at face value, without the veil of what they’re “supposed” to think about it. Everyone forgets why “woke” won in the first place. It didn’t win because it was unequivocally right. It won because it was WHITE. White people won, because that’s what they decided on doing, and they did it. All white people have to do to change course is decide to do something else. This is something woke was correct about— this is a “white supremacist” world. But it’s not in the way people think, or for the reasons people think. It’s simply a moment in time, like the Pliocene, Pleistocene and Holocene. Everyone thinks “white people had their moment, it’s time for us now!” No, actually, everyone else ‘had their moment,’ aeons ago. Which is a sacred honor, not a defeat. Now we are here. Anyway, I digress. Cut the crap already, NYC. We know it’s not little Dutch boys committing the violence.

many people are not good, just neutered, give someone an ounce of power or audacity and see how they use it

@MelissaFabina @SweatieAngle I’m not easily embarrassed but yes this one destroyed me and I couldn’t stop apologizing

@coyotesque @SweatieAngle did you die? the feeling you must have felt. are you contacting us from beyond the grave rn? cause I would have died. I can feel my cheeks burning hot as they tell me. and then just sink into nothingness.

Oh god - a family friend lost his son in a boating accident and I thought he was kidding at first because that’s been my stock joke about how white people die for years

@shedrinkswater This is very well said. These are my exact sentiments. I just couldn’t take it all anymore and felt like life would be more peaceful without. I used to have more time and energy for navigation, I wish I still did

Female friendships can become an incredibly complex dance of manipulation, gaslighting, people-pleasing, love, care, selfishness, selflessness, jealousy, envy, and competition. There is often immense tenderness there, but also an entire subterranean social game operating beneath the surface. If you are good at managing these dynamics, regulating your reactions, reading subtext, and still participating in the game while remaining human, you will probably have a decent number of close female friendships. But even a little social awkwardness, emotional transparency, or inability to tolerate masked behaviour can make female friendships extremely difficult to navigate. Your friends can slowly become your bullies, and it takes an enormous amount of emotional labour to keep moving through those dynamics when you do not naturally possess the social machinery required for them. You begin noticing the injustice, indirectness, performative sweetness, hidden hostility, constant testing, and you cannot keep pretending it is normal. That is why some women do not have many female friends. It is not always because they are jealous, male-centred, or a “red flag.” Sometimes they simply cannot metabolise the amount of social theatre, disguised aggression, and psychological negotiation required to survive certain female circles. The amount of mindspace you have to pay to remain inside such relationships can be enormous.
