It might be an eating disorder

I avoid talking to my therapist about it because I don’t want to confront the truth.

As soon as I knew what a government was. Age 12ish

Took another 18 years for me to actually have articulated reasons why other than "feels*

Startpage (which is a proxy for bing, but… Yeah)

Early aughts Fiat Punto.

Profit splits from the corp I work at dropped.

Basically an extra monthly wage that I don’t have to put into rent.

Oh, one more addendum to this, another myth related to Corsets:

“The silhouette of the 19th century was achieved by squishing a woman’s organs to the point of death”

This was rare. Ladies were instead padding everything else. You’ll look like you have an impossibly thin waist if you’ve basically strapped a pillow to your arse and another to your tits.

That we have gotten dumber.

Or smarter.

Or more moral.

Or less moral.

Anyone who says that is trying to sell you some ideology.

If you know your history, you know humanity has fundamentally always been humanity since we started writing shit down. Possibly earlier, but then we can’t be sure because no-writing-itis.

Some of the oldest texts we have are old men cranking about the kids these days.

There’s stories of people being awful and exploiting each other. There’s stories of people taking care of each other and of their surroundings during dark times. There’s stories of people being weird little guys. We have just sorta always been ourselves.

Started recording history? Like in ancient Greece, one of the gayest cultures in all of time? Like ancient Egypt with its myths about jizz in lettuce? Ancient china with its noted love of femboys and general belief that being gay was just “a thing young men do, that is fine for them to do so long as they do their social duty of marrying and having babies”?

Maybe prehistoric society was violently heteronormative and it’s true we can’t know… But saying “cultures were strictly heteronormative when we started recording history” is fucking hilarious. Heteronormativity is if anything a modern disease caught from abarhamic religion.

The Ankle thing was less about the ankles themselves and more about how a lady (and by ‘lady’ I mean specifically rich women, who did in fact wear skirts that touched the floor in a lot of time periods) lifting her skirt implied an invitation for further intimacy while not being indecent.

They’re a subsect of sociolects known as genderlects.

Not common, but they exist.

Tupã bless Brazil’s pix.

At least I can still buy porn from local furry artists.

HUEHUEHUE please do NOT give stray cats and dogs handjobs.

But as the other poster said – It means “half joking”

The cats and dogs out in the street are free. You can just bring a friend home. /hj

See, nothing you said contradicts what I said. Yes, they created this world, and they did so to drain from us.

But. And this is important.

Their malice is the kind of sociopathic malice that leaves little space for personal enmities. They see all human beings outside their caste as a resource to be exploited, not complete living persons that can be liked or disliked (ever notice how every corp has a literal “Human Resources” department? Yeah.) – Just another datapoint in a dry and emotionless calculus of power.

In other words, most corporate boards don’t really give a shit about queer people, but will say they support queer people if that is popular at the moment, and similarly will say they hate queer people if that is what is popular at the moment. Consider Disney’s inserting of LGBTQ characters in their movies… That can be easily and effortlessly edited out for sale in countries where that isn’t mainstream-acceptable. So that in some countries they can generate buzz about it, but in others they can bury it easily.

It’s all about the money and never about anything else.

See, this assigns a level of human personality to corporations that I don’t think we should be doing. It implies there is a “true self” to be revealed, when in reality the “self” of any corporation is entirely plastic and follows what the Excel Sheet tells them will make Line Go Up. Most corporate suits aren’t Elon Musk (who is, in fact, a human being, just a terrible one). Most corporate suits are dead inside and haven’t had a soul or a human emotion since 1985.

No, they just do whatever they can to appease whoever is in charge, because that is how they make money. They only became “LGBTQ friendly” when that was mainstream-acceptable and government-endorsed. And now that the culture is swinging the other way (more than half of americans wanted this fascist descent, never forget that) and the US is going all in on white supremacy and puritanism, they switch tunes right away. Case in point dia da consciência negra, the Brazilian equivalent of a black-history thing is still labelled on my Brazil-facing Google Calendar, because it’s still a government-sponsored and mainstream commemorative date here.

Tech megacorps are wusses, in other news fire is hot.

Oh another one of these

Short answer:

“What if 4chan was communist instead of neonazi”

Similar level of assholety and low post quality. Better politics. Overall don’t bother, not worth it.

Had to go and look. (don’t really pay attention to these things normally)

Wooow, 180 seconds (which probably won’t even get to timeout) when shutting down my computer. My life is ruined forever because I had to wait sooooo much. /sarc

Me dissing yet another “SYSTEMD TAKES TOO LONG TO SHUT DOWN >:(((((((” whinememe on a Linuxmemes community.

I stand by what I said. If waiting 2 minutes for your computer to shut down is so life-ruining for you, you probably don’t even know what a real problem smells like & should probably see a therapist about your lack of basic patience and frustration tolerance
