We really don't have to worry about the Trolley Problem, because, in most cases, they were public transportation, and got defunded.

.Your Fat friends don't have to make you feel secure about your body.
.Disabled people aren't required to be "inspirational"
.And ffs People of Color don't have to make you feel better about your racist jokes and thoughts.
.LGBTQ+ People don't have to fit into your stereotype of them, to make you feel comfortable
.Women don't have to be maternal.
.Men don't have to be "strong and masculine".
.Older people don't have to be treated like children or be "sweet".
Feel free to add your own mini rant.

99.9% of jobs do not require urgency of any kind, really they don't. We've all had a boss who acts like someone will die if we don't hit some made up deadline by people who don't even do the job. No one needs their meal 1 minute faster or the paperwork before tomorrow morning. Your time off actually doesn't need to wait. Sometimes I think about how legitimately bad most businesses are at time management and hiring, and I wonder how they manage to exist at all.

Have y'all ever had someone act like you were hurting them somehow by just liking a food?
Any time I buy or make kimchi, my Mom says it's so gross and she doesn't want any and just on and on. I never offer it to her, or make group food with it, but for some reason she seems offended by it, and I don't know why.

2024-05-23 02:15:03

Y'all, I like all the Treks, I can't deal with your fighting, please think of the children.

2024-05-22 16:41:04

Sometimes the way people phrase things is so telling. For instance, telling women they should be "taking care of" their husband and children. Another adult doesn't need taken care of like a child, what you want is for women to be a Sex Mom.

It insane to me how often women are not given pain management for gynecological procedures, because many many years ago a male doctor who's never had a vagina, cervix, or uterus decided that there weren't enough nerve endings up there to hurt significantly. I think it's time to put this fallacy to bed. It most definitely does hurt, and people who have literally no experience with female equipment don't get to decide this for me. Trust me docs, you don't want to taste your own medicine on this.

It still gets me the Bible Jesus is a homeless socialist with brown skin, hangs out with 12 dudes and a Prostitute, tells rich people to pay their taxes and give their wealth to the poor, tells the religious leaders that they need to love everyone equally, gets a whip and goes hog on people using religion to sell stuff, and then straight up gets murdered for these beliefs. Yet somehow churches act like he's some kind of Conservative Haircut in khakis and a button up, who would support cutting welfare programs, and would preach Prosperity Gospel.

2024-03-12 15:49:34

Your suffering is not unique to you, whatever you're going through someone else has to. Feelings of depression, loneliness, isolation, or just feeling different are universal.
If you feel like people aren't understanding or empathizing it's either because you are not telling them about the real you, or they are choosing not to treat you like a complicated feeling person.

I was exploring down a gravel road, and stopped to take a picture of this Donkey sitting in a field, but it got up, and decided it wanted pets, and then three dogs, small, medium, and large, also came running from across the road, to get pets too. They have a whole racket going on!

Okay, I'm thinking about gift giving today. A little backstory about why:
Every year my Father-in-law attempts to get my Mother-in-law a gift. She is a bit of a shopper, and is notoriously difficult to shop for. Every year he gets her something he guesses a woman would like (perfume, sweater, jewelry), and every year she doesn't really like it, and ends up begrudgingly using it or returns it. They have been married over 30 years, and seem to have a pretty good marriage otherwise. It's like she wants him to magically understand what she wants, and he is sort of equally bad at the whole thing too. I will never understand why they don't just have a conversation about this. Just for extra fun, she is the most bizarre gift giver, also, to the point that it has become an annual tradition that I show my friends what she got us. A small list of things we have gotten:
A couch cover with grapes on it
A sexy nightgown
A painting of the house they live in
A gourd painted to look like a cat eating a bird
A package of tea that I would have absolutely loved, stuffed with cheap tea bags
Children's Lego sets
Toy trains
Underwear that didn't fit either of us
A wooden board covered in seashells that is supposed to hold a curling iron
A waterproof bed cover
I could go on and on. Just to clarify this doesn't bother me or my husband at all, we actually get a kick out of the weirdness. I don't personally care about presents much, I'm more of an experiences person.
SO, if you've managed to get this far, how do you feel about gift giving/getting? Feel free to elaborate and give examples!

It amazes me that there are people that believe that if the Confederacy had won that they would have ended slavery on their own, when America is actively doing wage slavery, when there are still more People of Color in prison, when we are still dealing with the legacy of redlining. It feels like it never ended at all.

In the 90's, a full grown man who was pretending to be a doctor, wrote a book called Men Are From Mars, and Women Are From Venus. The book simply stated that women are emotional, and men are rational, while writing about his downright abusive irrational treatment of his own wife, and somehow this was a best seller.

I'm going to explain programming languages to you based on their emblems.
Starting from left to right, on the top line:
1. This is some Sex Snake Cult bullshit, if you use this you may not be in a Sex Snake Cult, but you definitely want to be.
2. This is some old school shit, you first learned this is a 90's coffee shop, while complaining about how fake Hackers was.
3. Ya basic.
4. This is the prequel to Big Hero 6, it wasn't good.
5. Ya still basic, but you call yourself an overachiever.
6. This is what the Programmer says when you try to ask him a single question. Fine BRIAN, I'll try to figure out what a browser is BY MYSELF!
7. You're old, even older than #2, you complained about how War Games wasn't realistic.
8. Whoever designed this emblem got their feelings hurt by Bell Labs, and it shows.
9. Yeah guess what, ya STILL BASIC, now it's just really obvious to everyone, and you've definitely been involved in an MLM. #Clessed
10. You're pretty good at programming, but not at life, you probably sell drugs as a side gig.

New Year has always been accompanied by complex feelings for me. Time has always felt like it was moving too fast, even as a child, and New Year is a stark reminder that another year has come and gone.
A lot of people use this moment to think about how they'd like to change, New Year, New You, but inevitably we are still ourselves. In the end though, I'm the worst person of all, an Optimist. I really believe that things can and do get better, and in the case, of New Year, New You, maybe the old you is pretty good already, and you just did the best you could last year, and you're gonna do your best this year too.
Our time is short, weird, wonderful, heartbreaking, and fascinating. I'm here for it, and I'm incredibly lucky to have this group of people to chat with, empathize with, and learn from. I'm ringing in the New Year with gratitude.
Anyway, as usual that was verbose, but please, tell me your thoughts on the New Year, Anything you want to talk about is fine!

I'm one of those people who thinks Christmas day has way too much build up and expectation, one day just can't handle that much weight. There's all this pressure to have a magical time. I usually enjoy all the stuff surrounding it more. This is also a time where you're very aware of the people who are missing from your life, and you miss them even more.
If you're the person who ends up doing the bulk of Christmas prep, and you've been working non stop for 3 days, ffs let someone else do the clean up, and sit down with an adult beverage!

I love when inspirational posters say something like "LIVE FEARLESSLY!" Sounds cool, but how exactly? Also no fear at all sounds dangerous, pretty sure fear is an Evolutionary necessity.

Occasionally on Mastodon, I will have a run in with someone who still deals in Sexism, racism and homophobia. It just seems like it hits harder here, because I view this as a safe place to be myself. Sometimes the ugliness in the world overwhelms me, and the way I cope with it is by reminding myself of the beauty and kindness in the world.
So, if you feel like it, share something nice, could be a news story, a fact, a photo, or a personal story, anything positive or at least turned out positive.
Seriously, being able to share with all of you, and being so openly embraced by this community has been an unusual privilege in the world of social media. I hope we all keep striving to make this an equitable and fun place.

2023-08-31 12:54:42

I know it's been a few months, but I'm still not over this! Imagine being so weak and fragile in your beliefs that you can't even let a woman speak about trans rights. It would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous. The future of politics are people who stand up in the face of ridiculous adversity and outright bullying, but keep standing up anyway.

I will only be unhappy again so why even try to...

So, if you look at data from The Harvard Implicit Association Test, the way people view LGBTQ+ persons has become much more positive. A drop in bias between 33-49% in a relatively short amount of time, if you know anything about statistics, this is huge. Even among racial bias there's been a pretty significant drop.
Unfortunately, bias against persons who are perceived as overweight or disabled have gone up. Why do you think this is? What actions can we take to make this better? What do you think made the difference in the perception of LGBTQ+ and Racial Minorities?

I used to work at a restaurant that served these really good fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. They were made pretty regularly, so you'd never get a cookie that was more than an hour or two old. Despite this someone would inevitably ask for some fresh out of the oven. The problem with this was twofold:
1. They took nearly 15 minutes to bake, way longer than anyone was willing to wait.
2. If you know anything about baking soft chewy cookies, when they come out of the oven they are basically just molten goo, we had to wait 10 minutes before we were even allowed to take them off the pan.
So, we'd always tell people these things, and at least a couple times a week, someone would demand we do it anyway, and call the manager when we handed them a hot bag of cookie goo 15 minutes later. The restaurant eventually got rid of those cookies for something that was pre-made that tasted like Dollar Store cookies.
I thought about this a lot during the height of the Covid Pandemic, and every time a politician disagrees with a scientist about climate change. Anyway, welcome to Dollar Store Planet.

If there is problem with your food, that is not your server's fault, tip accordingly.

Okay, we're digging deep, this is something I think about a lot.
Do you believe in the concept of good and evil?
And you know I want more than a yes or no answer, this is Mastodon after all.

The very idea that someone could "turn" a straight kid LGBTQ+ or a Cis kid trans, just continues to prove that they don't actually believe or care about any facts, doctors, or science, and their opinions should be blatantly ignored.

I'm about to go see the new TMNT movie, I unapologetically love them all, and I'm very excited to see this one. So, my question tonight is:
What is something you loved as a kid, that you still love just as much as an adult, and why?

I'm gonna say something that is probably gonna be unpopular, but I seriously wonder if there is any pure form of government that would work long term. History seems to point to no, and not even because they are bad ideas necessarily, but because we can't seem to ever get rid of greedy psychopaths that have the audacity, and short sighted people who just can't believe they have the audacity, and wait until it's too late to actually do anything about it. I hope I'm wrong.
