How did my internal monologue bug escape somehow

Maybe with a scrub mommy. Scrub daddys are way too coarse for that shit.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 1 day ago:
Don’t even know if I’d call that transracial, that’s just a person who is of one ethnicity but was raised in a different culture than one might expect for someone who looks like them. There’s no “transitioning” happening there.

I came here to say I have had this dream. This is creepy as shit and I don’t want to go to sleep now.
- Comment on Oink 3 days ago:
I’m very curious if that’s a cultural thing or just a him thing
- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 1 week ago:
I know you’re in the US so it’s probably a lot more difficult, but find union activists…
Unions fight for these exact rights, and the reason most developed countries have vacations and healthcare are thanks to union action. Of course, America has fought very hard to keep these down.
Also, no need to shoot others down while you’re at it. No one is free until we’re all free, and this has always been a class war.

HM maybe the wrong community but it’s an important message anyway. Men’s mental health matters and if we all cared more about it, we’d have a lot less issues in the world.

Food brings me joy and money brings me food, need nothing else in life.

We need an overlay also of the amount of rips in jeans
- Comment on I'm gay and I dunno what it means 3 weeks ago:
I agree with you, but don’t like that the interpretation puts the onus on the person being cheated on. Like, people will cheat even if they’re with the most gorgeous, totally out of their league person. Cheating has nothing to do with how attractive or how attentive to themselves your partner is. If you’re a cheater, you’re gonna be a cheater.

I wanna be a robot woman
- Comment on Besides money/capitalism, why are tech companies trying to push AI text generators over search engines? 3 weeks ago:
If that was the goal then maybe they should’ve worked harder so that their algo didn’t spit cheap poorly made garbage with a million fake reviews every time I try to search anything remotely purchasable.

Hey it’s nice to know the top results are educational/artistic and not just porn.

Jewel is a perfectly fine name on its own, wtf
- Comment on What's the worst spelling you've seen? 4 weeks ago:
I fully came in here with this name in mind. Lol in the 10 years since I’ve first heard it, I’ve never come across anyone else who has heard the same. I somehow hope we’re all running into the same Abcde and there aren’t just hordes of them out there.

Mine explained my emotional dysregulation patterns and helped me identify the triggers and how to address them.
By far, the most useful technique they shared with me was the TIPP skills technique, which helps me come down when I am having strong emotional reactions as a trauma response or from anxiety. Essentially:
- temperature - use cold temp to lower heart rate, warm to raise it
- intense exercise - helps manage overwhelming energy levels
- paced breathing - I’m not big on breathing but it works for some
- paired muscle relaxation - my favourite as it also interrupts thought patterns
Hope you’re able to access help though, obviously it is much better when personalized and you also get the safe space to release your fears and anxieties

That’s kind of better than continuing to charge you if he wasn’t vested in your improvement though.
- Comment on i broke 5 weeks ago:
Getting more involved with community movements has helped me in this respect 100x more than my therapist did.
It’s not their fault, there’s not that much they could’ve done for me anyway and they were very much on the same “were fucked this is all hopeless” boat as me.
- Comment on Life is unfair to landlords 5 weeks ago:
Where I live the majority of apartment rentals are owned by large corporations whose sole job is property management, including “renovicting” low income people and letting older buildings go to waste while hiking rent prices. These people are scumbags.
Previously I lived in one building that was actually just owned by one person who had purchased several buildings, and while he hadn’t built the apartments, at least he was also the sole caretaker so he was putting in the work.

This is probably the most disrespectful thing I’ve seen all week.
- Comment on If a gay man and lesbian woman have sex, is that gay or straight? 1 month ago:
You know it’s not a great question but it’s better to ask in a relatively safe environment than to make assumptions.
- Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter 1 month ago:
My favourite thing to do is ‘race’ the person who offers me a ride home all the time. Like, I appreciate the offer but trust me, I will be home before you could get me there AND I’ll get to enjoy the sunshine.
- Comment on What is the evolutionary benefit of loving a pet so much you melt into a puddle when they are around? 1 month ago:
I know you’re right, but I actually think this one is an evolutionary benefit, just not ours. The cuteness traits won the evolutionary race because cuteness causes this feeling in humans that will make them more likely to get taken in by us.
(I don’t know shit about science, I just think pets have their shit figured out)

Oh this is wild to me too. I work IT support and we recently started swapping everyone to W11, and as soon as I upgraded mine I turned off all their ads, news/weather popups, Bing search garbage. When I ask people if they want help to get rid of it they’re like “nah I’ll just live with it” as if it wasn’t the most distracting thing in the gd world.

Young men in this day and age are particularly unwell. Though this might be a good meditation?
