Copy-Paste Existence

Why do you feel like your days are harder to separate from each other? Every day feels the same because it basically is. Same people. Same attitudes. Same recycled nonsense like the world’s stuck on autopilot and nobody knows where the off switch is. You wake up, deal with the same entitlement, the same lack of respect, the same emotional laziness… then go to bed just to run it back. It’s not just routine. It’s repetition without meaning. We made everything easier and somehow made […]

Reminder that the Dutch LOVE their cars.
And like drivers everywhere, can behave as if they own the roadm with pure #entitlement.

And yet the country has the largest and safest walk and bike network. Yes, they fight over every parking space that needs to make way for pedestrian or bike infrastructure.

Ped & bike advocates, keep fighting the good cause. You too can win.

I am familiar with inequality in the United States and arguments that the government's policies are skewed toward the rich and against the poor. This is one of the few things I (at least in theory) would agree with progressives on, and one I—a Gen Zer—can relate to: that Social Security is deliberately designed to make young adults pay for their retired grandparents' luxuries.

You are paying for retirees' lavish lifestyles

How America's old-age entitlement system became a sprawling lifestyle-subsidy program that steals from the poor to give to the rich.

A characteristic of abuse that I want to see more emphasised is the abuser's feeling of being entitled to dish out consequences (punishment) to others.

I say this because sometimes lists of red flags or abuser characteristics or descriptions of abusive personality traits either leave it out or throw it in as a side sentence, easily overlooked.

But that's where the line of abuse is!

Being triggered by someone wearing a green shirt? Not abusive!
Yelling at someone for wearing a green shirt? Overstepping and can be part of a pattern of abuse!

Believing that God put you on earth to teach heathens the gospel of bruschetta brunch? Not abusive!
Taking people's phones away until they learn and recite your favourite bruschetta recipe? Abusive!

Or, for a less absurd example:

Being triggered when your child doesn't obey because you have trauma around that and your nervous system turns on the alarm sirens? Not abusive!
Making your child feel guilty for not obeying or for triggering you? Abusive!

@aho

they can't

see people are worried about the erosion of #democracy in the #usa and they are correct

and the solution is we vote *more* and get real leftists in power and close the loopholes

but there is this unfortunate human hopelessness where people just give up (or outright troll #psyop cosplaying left encouraging that)

i don't understand why people don't #vote. they only help #fascism. it's #entitlement: "won't affect me." or cluelessness (it will affect them but they don't know)

The Participation Trophy Apocalypse

What strange insight about life still puzzles you? There’s a strange glitch in modern life that still scrambles my brain: we raised a generation allergic to consequences and now act shocked when they melt down over basic reality. Somewhere along the line, discipline got rebranded as cruelty, and accountability became optional. The result is a wave of adults who expect life to operate like customer service, with refunds for discomfort and managers available for emotional inconvenience. It […]

“Ah yes masculinity - that North Star our society hands men that says the worst thing you can do isn’t cruelty, the worst thing you can do is act like a girl.”

There is one word that explains how so many men can be in the Epstein files. So why is no one saying it?

We talk endlessly about the factors that make rape easier, but never about the factors that cause rape in the first place.
