Damn this is so true. I did go find that comment just to downvote it tho bc I think it’s funny

I think it’s well established at this point that anarchists and ‘auth leftists’ have a different definition of authoritarian (and ‘state’ for that matter)

It seems similar to that old debate about ‘reverse racism’ vs racial prejudice- the sociological definition of racism includes oppression, but the dictionary definition didn’t/doesn’t, so people were largely arguing over semantics

“Anti-authoritarian leftists” are just anarchists, right? Literally every anarchist I’ve ever known is constantly shitting on liberals, very often specifically about authoritarian behavior/policy

This is pretty fucked up actually. “Narcissist” doesn’t inherently equal “abuser”. It’s a condition that people often need help for

This feels like it’s about something- AI, social media, substance use… I might be reading way too much into this, but this functions as a really fun metaphor for the human tendency to rationalize the pursuit of unhealthy desires by deliberately entering contexts that blur risk perception

I’ve actually done this and it was genuinely good- tasted like pizza

I’ve reported you to the US government. Removal pending

Are you willing to name the Lemmy users doing this?

Your wording leaves me wondering whether you’re suggesting that they’re actively working with the feds, or just being helpful to them without that intent?

There’s also a couple of already-controversial Lemmy users who are collaborating with the US government by judas-kissing everyone after having honeypotted them.

What?

As an ace therapist, I agree with this answer OP. Like others have said, talking to a therapist would also be a good idea, but be sure to find a therapist who’s actually familiar with aspec stuff

I love this song by Naethan Apollo about the UHC CEO, Death of a Profiteer. Hoping he releases another banger about this one

I’ve never used FB marketplace, but I account for this on Craigslist by setting my price range to exclude items priced below a reasonable point

Is that abuse?

Do Not Interact (with us) lol

There’s little in the article to suggest these kids were abused or neglected in any way. It sounds like they were living a cool life
