weaponized incompetence exists at basically all levels of human interaction, alas…
but it’s especially shitty when corpos do it.
I really wish we’d stop fucking around and make executives regret what the people they are literally responsible for do. Their monetary compensation should be consummate with consequences–if they’re making three thousand times the amount of their front-facing employees they should be three thousand times more culpable for the shit their organization pulls.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
Turns out my ribs don’t actually care whether the boot that cracked them came from a decisive kick or because someone clumsily tripped over me.
(Also sufficiently advanced malice is often indistinguishable from incompetence by design: “oops we didn’t mean to, please forgive us and we pRoMiSe we won’t do it again!”)

When i see that many idiots being duped it just makes me feel superior~!

Joking aside, look at how foolish the median person is. That they are average means that literally half of humanity is even more foolish than they are.
Quantity may be a quality all its own but in light of such damning disqualifications it hardly matters at all.

Comparison is the thief of joy.
I feel so much better when rather than looking at what others have and wishing i had it too, instead looking at what others lack and seeing if there’s anything I can do to help them attain it.
It helps me appreciate what I do have. There are people I love who want me around. It took so long to recognize, internalize, actually feel and experience that fact instead of just … knowing it in a distant academic sense like ‘sure yeah it stands to reason that this is true i guess but i have no proof’…
Until recently, i ‘knew’ that people cared about me and wanted me around the same way a person born blind can KNOW that the wavelength and frequency of the color Blue are 450 nanometers and about 666 terahertz (heh 🤘) respectively but not have an intrinsic experience of what it’s like to see it.
it’s nice actually being able to FEEL what i only previously just numbly heard about. and now all i truly want in the world, on the deepest level, beyond petty hedonic desires, is for more other people to know what it’s like to feel loved.

It is only an abbreviation of macaroni.
Mac and Cheese would be redundant if it were an acronym.

Maybe Mary had XY chromosomes but her Y chromosome was nonfunctional due to a mutation, so her body was built and functioning entirely on the X chromosomes instruction set. When the parthenogenesis occurred, the miracle was that the Y chromosome in the fetus spotaneously mutated back into a functional state.
Jesus is just Mary’s clone but with a functioning y chromosome :3

“just be friends” can often be a way to euphemistically say “fuck off and leave me alone” because a girl who actually says “fuck off and leave me alone” out loud for real runs the risk of a fragile, shallow, unhinged, emotionally unstable man going berserk and MURDERING her.
Obviously nobody likes to hear this but it DOES happen–not every time but if doesn’t need to be every time in order to factor as a risk; like how “every gun is ALWAYS loaded–ESPECIALLY a gun that ‘Isn’t Loaded’!”
The list of people who are murdered for refusing a romantic advance gets longer every day, and the unfortunate truth is that the majority of the victims on that list are women, and that the majority of the perpetrators on that list are men. Statistically speaking, it is simply a matter of common sense precaution to hedge the possibility of a violent reaction by offering “friendship” in the hopes that the other party will be de-escalated enough to not flip out.
That said, I have managed to maintain friendships with some of the people I’ve previously had romantic feelings for, but it took me bridging the honesty gap FOR them: actually offering them the chance to clarify; that they face no danger in being direct with me and that I both CAN and WILL in fact peacefully go fuck off forever if that’s what they actually meant. Thinking back, there’s only two ex partners who didn’t want to talk to me at all anymore after the romantic stage crashed. The fact that it’s non-zero though, that there was even ONE person who was initially lying when they offered “consolation prize friendship” (although forgivably because they were just protecting themselves), tells me all I ever needed to know.
