I agree with you largely. Although I don’t think people downvote for the cognitive dissonance, at least thats not the reason I do. I live in a very rural state, and even the most industrialized cities here have dog shit public transportation and are not bike-able or walkable. I also do not want to live in a city, so I really have no options but to have a car. Personally, when I hear people say “get rid of cars” it feels very privileged because it comes off as a very blanket solution that is really only achievable in cities and other urbanized environments. Otherwise I do largely agree with boosting public transportation and other non-car centric solutions, and obviously I definitely agree with completely replacing the justice system around one of rehabilitation and addressing problems that cause crime in the first place.

Coulda woulda shoulda whatever, thats not reality. People break rules and punishments aren’t effective at stopping them. So come up with an effective way of stopping it without ruining people’s lives or shut the fuck up. No one deserves their life ruined over speeding, and if you think they do then I hope you get to experience the other end of the stick.

And if you were smart enough to use critical thinking and follow your logic to its inevitable conclusion, you’d see how that would just send people into cycles perpetually keeping them in prison and never being able to reform or reintigrate into society all over a speeding ticket. But since you aren’t, let me walk you through it.
John gets a in trouble for speeding. Maybe they give him a ticket he cant afford or maybe they just take his car away. Either way it doesnt matter, it just speeds up the cycle so lets go fast and say he loses the car. He now lacks a car so I hope his town has good public transportation! Oops it doesn’t, guess he loses his job because he cant get there on time. Now John is houseless. We all know how the houseless are treated so lets just skip to John going to prison. Lets say a year or so later he gets out. Now he will have an even harder time finding a job because he has a criminal record AND is houseless. On and on.
Now since we both understand the cycle I imagine you still think his car should be taken away but simply because youre a hateful and vengeful person who doesnt care about actually stopping crime, but just want to see people who do something wrong get punished (whether or not the punishment will have unintended consequences that cause the punishment to be way more severe than the crime).

The filter is the fucking community. This space is for shitposts, not political news. You guys spit in the face of the natural filters in place (communities curated for specific things) and just tell us to filter it. Itd be like if you broke into my house and pissed on my floor and just told me to lock the doors. Like bro I did, you came through the second floor window.

Genuinely had a therapist like this. Kept telling her my problems were from an abuse relationship I had in high school, and she kept insisting it couldn’t of been that, it had to of been my parents. Despite me repeating ad nauseum that my parents were supportive and loving. Needless to say I did not continue seeing her.

- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 2 months ago:
Quick correction. We didnt steal it, we used it because of the British, then the British decided they didnt like the term anymore and swapped to “football” and Americans just kinda kept using it. Same thing with imperial measurements. They were invented by the British, we used them cause we were a british colony, then Britain changed their mind and Americans stuck with the original.
Long story short, British invent something and the Americans use it cause former british colony, then the british change their mind and then make fun of the Americans while the pretend they werent the people who invented it in the first place.
Its some gaslighting bullshit

If the majority of mentally ill elementary schoolers at the place my partner works know that 9/11 was real, I have a hard time believing the average kid thinks its just some weird cultural reference. And when it comes to the Edmund Fitzgerald, they just don’t know what that was. I didn’t know what it was till I saw the meme.

You are right, I phrased that wrong. I fixed it.
- Comment on Sensory issues 2 months ago:
Looking through the comments highlights once again that neurotypicals continue to invalidate neurodivergent experiences because they do no understand the experience. Part of it is certainly due to the language we continue to use, as it doesnt explain the full extent of the experience. But another is just neurotypical people refusing to understand the struggles of neurodivergent people.
In relation to specifically this meme, yes most people do not like tags. Most people find them irritable and uncomfortable. The difference is autistic people are more senstive to sensory things, to the point something like a tag itching at your neck becomes an excrutiating and unmanageable experience.
If you can go a whole day wearing a shirt with a tag in it with no major issues, you are probably a neurotypical. If when you wear a shirt with a tag it is a unbearable sensation, something you cant ignore and stresses you out to the point you cant go a full day wearing it and still function as a humanbeing, you are probably autistic.
For future reference for neurotypical people, stop assuming you know what being neurodivergent is. For those people trying to find the fakers, stop. You arent a doctor, just like how that person you are trying to accuse of self diagnosing for attention is also not a doctor. You genuinely do not know what you are talking about and are genuinely no better than all the transphobic chuds that “transvestigate” people. At best you called out a shitty person trying to earn internet points (someone who will not think twice about your comment), and at worse you are invalidating someone’s personal lived experience (something that can seriously affect their mental health).
If someone is talking about their experience as a neurodivergent person and you think “Hey I do that,” there are two more likely possibilities than that they are faking. Either 1. You are autistic and don’t know it. Or 2. You are not understanding the full extent of what they are talking about.

I do want to specify that I am not counting AI in what I am talking about. I agree AI is worse and I consider it a whole different beast than the regular brainrot any generation consumes. I love shitposts, I love stupid and surreal memes, I love the stupid cringey internet shit like Homestuck, or Skibidi Toilet, whatever. Even if I don’t actually interact with it, I love that it exists and that people are enjoying it. Its real, its human, and like it or not it is art.
AI is the antithesis of art. It is not creation for the sake of creation or expression, it is creation for the sake of consuming. It is what art has struggled and failed to escape from, and that is becoming a product to be consumed. There is no expression or soul. I admire art in all its forms when it is made by a person because they wanted to put effort into making something. Not for profit, not forfame, but because they find the process to be intrinsically valuable to them. It is something I wish to see expand to the rest of life.
AI art is shrinking that glimpse and plunging the light and hope art gives for a better world, and confines us in a dark world of consuming and producing like a sick human centipede ouroboros.

Me and my partner debated a lot about this because they hate skibidi toilet. I had never watched it and do not care to but I tried to tell them that skibidi toilet is no different than shit we grew up with, they just werent on that side of the internet. It is literally just a SFM video. Its no different than the shitpost tf2 sfm videos a lot of us were watching back around the 2010 and that are still being made today. Is it Pootis Enage levels of SFM cinema? No, more akin to We Like To Party. But to pretend like the brainrot we grew up with is any better than the brainrot late gen z or gen alpha are growing up with is just delusional imho. I mean look at the shit we had, like Badgers, What Does The Fox Say, and plenty more. We always had brainrot on the internet, you’re just not a child anymore. Honestly I feel like the brainrot has gotten a bit better in a certain way. Its not as bigoted as it used to be. I remember a lot of internet humor being just saying slurs, racism, ableism, and queerphobia (not to say it doesn’t exist now, but I feel it is less common). I grew up with it, I still find it funny even if I also find it distasteful, but if skibidi toilet is the worst of your concerns then I think we are gonna be fine.

In what way is whether or not you made the video relevant to whether or not you should label your post about it? Most people don’t want to see AI shit, do us a favor and label it so we can filter it. Maybe you wouldn’t get hit with such negativity if you did that
- Comment on Is it weird to simultaneously feel love and hatred towards parents? 3 months ago:
I only managed to move out recently. Unfortunately there was a lot of damage done to our relationship prior to me moving out, and its damage I don’t believe he is aware is there. Even if it is, neither of us are eager to confront it. I still visit, and try to do it about bi-weekly (distance being the main factor), but it always feels awkward and I don’t think that will go away until the current state of America improves or we take the effort to fix the mend. Further unfortunately, I worry that he won’t change and that is a huge barrier to mending our relationship.
Our relationship is in a really difficult spot. If we don’t try and work through it and just keep skirting around things and avoiding the problem things will never improve and it will always be awkward around him. But if we confront things, there is a good likelyhood things will end up worse than they already are

That is fair. I also think it depends on the subject. Math I think would be particularly hard to individualize lessons. However english and social studies I think would be far easier. Thankfully I am studying to be a history teacher. Will update in 2 years how my experimentation with decentralizing the classroom goes lol
