I'm crying

But also right now I've been imploding and I am the bad guy, and I don't know how to forgive myself. Like 4 days after ending a relationship with the kindest person I've ever met because I want kids and she doesn't, I spiraled and slept with my roommate who also had a break up. I then broke down at our housewarming party and told my ex and she hates me now, but she's a huge part of my life still. I'm trying to patch things up with my roommate but I'm worried I'm leading her on, and then we found out a new friend of mine has been gossiping about the situation after I went to his in an absolute broken state.

This all comes down to my fault and I just can't keep going with the shame. I don't want to be me anymore.

Please Mr. Rogers give me strength.

The real normies are the ones you made along the way

Honestly I think half of "leftists" you see online are just right wingers yelling in bad faith to create a rift. They know we are so ideological and ready to cancel each other if we fail to meet our purity tests that they just need to toss in a match to make the left crumble.

Aside, aperantly Christianity is making a comeback with Gen Z, and one theory is that at least Christianity has an element of forgiveness (turn the other cheek), where atheists who base their morals on secular philosophy can become very harsh in their criticism and once someone is out, they are out. I can absolutely see the appeal of this change for the youth. I only say this as sometimes we do need to look in the mirror. If we are so smart, why do we always lose?

Of course this is the Internet where we kinda just bring out the worst in people.

Oh you absolutely need to replace the gnome cartridge, my dad would always freak out if we didn't. That's like day 1 of dishwasher school.

Sorry I was too busy yelling at other people on other threads.

But also my concern was about the reaction to the post, not necessarily the post itself, though the two are connected

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee -1 points 3 days ago

You mean New York?

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

Awesome, love this.

I wish this was the post or at least linked.

I'm not disagreeing with this necessarily, but I don't like seeing a post by an account I have no idea about stating something as scientific fact, and then having that post taken as fact point blank. Once again, not trying to say what she is saying is incorrect, I just get concerned when I see bandwagoning on some random person's take.

That said, if you find the studies on this, please please please do us all a favor and comment those!

If anyone likes music theory, Adam Neely, Nahre Sol, Charles Cornel, and Open Studio Jazz are all amazing.

I really would love to hear what a non musician thinks about them too. I bet maths heads would love it.

Brian Klass is a political scientist who recently put out his own philosophy of chaos theory. I think it's a pretty useful tool to look at contemporary movements and really refutes the "it couldn't possibly happen here" message.

Pre-2011 there was a paper published on why middle eastern dictatorships were so stable. The next year almost all of them fell. Klass argues that the author wasn't wrong, they just were working with the rules and tools we knew at the time, but didn't know the rules had changed with the invention of social media.

In his perspective, the idea of a "fluke" is not a fluke at all, it's a data point showing that things are changing and changing fast. Things just feel like flukes when our assumptions of the way things work become outdated.

More like "I already am, but now I won't have to pretend as much"

I think this might be to make sure the defacto castration of the courts is now written into law

 

Just sharing in case it helps anyone.

I had a partner who constantly was making me feel bad about my body and kept telling me I wasn't smart and that they knew deep down I was a shitty person. But they said it in a way of "I will fix you so you understand that and accept how shitty you are".

At first I didn't believe it, then I recognized the red flags and broke up, but by happenstance they came back and put on a show I fell for, and then it started again but it took months for me to leave it.

I realized they made me feel shitty, and then reinforced that I was, and basically I believed that I was a piece of shit but they were the only person telling me the truth. They were the only one who saw me as I am.

I eventually was able to get out, but it really took a toll.

Anyway I just met someone who is the KINDEST person I know and while I won't thrust any responsibility to help me on them, they are already helping me heal. Maybe the fact they are helping me heal on their own volition shows how kind they are.

Anyway I'm a little drunk and my ex showed up with their new partner I guess, but it was an event they knew I'd be at, and they saw my bike outside of the venue, and chose to come in holding hands anyway. I left immediately and I'm home now but yea fuck them.

Personally I feel more connected to the Vancouver BC/ Seattle/ Portland corridor than with the rest of the US, so I feel more comfortable saying I'm a Cascadian than an American.

 

I usually assume when Europeans complain about American beers, they just are complaining about our "domestic" beers like Bud Light, Coors, PBR, etc. which makes sense, they are our bottom shelf beers.

I recently chatted with someone at a party who said "no, all American beers are bad" including microbrewery beers.

I've never been to Europe so I wouldn't know, but I do like my Left Handed Milk Stout, NWPAs, and hell even the hipstered out IPAs.

Are these what y'all are referencing?

 

Edit: Downvote me daddy

 

Mark your calendars everyone. We have a new national holiday.

cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee was something I stole from that other site, and with very minimal work I rode on the hard work of others to give me a feeling of superiority. I am so proud of all the work I took credit for, and for all the maps that create a reality we'd rather live in.

This is a fantastic Christmas gift, and I will donate all the money I have made on this site to the Church of Latter Day Saints and also the Church of the Satanic Temple just to cover my bases. I hope we all celebrate tonight by drinking a handle of hand sanitizer, snorting some ketamine, giving whipits to at risk youth, and fighting a cop with a sword.

We have done some amazing work, and I have made some amazing announcements to celebrate arbitrary subscription milestones which is what head mods do I guess. I want to thank thepiccardmanuever@lemmy.world for constantly posting at the expense of their family and friends, probablynaked@lemmy.world for teaching me how to sniff glue, pugjesus@lemmy.world for their posts and commitment to corporate espionage, and for all of you who came here by mistake. You may never leave.

Happy Holidays and I hope you have an unhinged new year,

~Meep

 

So I thought that BlueSky was set up just like Lemmy in that it was fully decentralized into a sort of "terrorist cell" structure that wasn't focused on profits, but then found out that BlueSky has a CEO. Since this is a business, what makes BlueSky fundamentally different from Twitter or Instagram?

I feel like so long as a social media platform exists through monetization (in some form or another private companies need to make money), we are ultimately replacing one dictator with another.

 

I was in 5th grade when my dad told me about the Nuremberg trials and the subsequent Milgram experiments.

Edit Wtf you sick perverts, I was talking about when your parents talk to you about authority bias and how you need to be suspicious of power structures that tell you to do things that you would normally consider horrible acts.

Jesus you can't talk about Nazis without someone dragging out Sex Ed these days smh

Wanna be an ingredient on binging with babish

Wanna turn into a soup that is great

Other girls choose the bear for safety

You choose the bear for other reasons

Other girls wanna dress with the times

You wanna be the dressing and all of the seasons

But maybe I should get the hell out of town

Because I'm not gonna be Dahmer's dessert

They all like to tell me to burn things

Leave the gas stove on at home

//

I can't believe it

No not again

Just trying to date

Can't tell my friends


Anyway yea that date had more red flags than the Soviet Union
