Riley"just roll with it" genuinely the best advice
Sally Strange@riley
"B-but your labels don't make sense!"
Where is it written that I have to make sense?

@riley That's always been my mindset with the world, and it saddens me that most people don't feel this way.

@riley This is something I internalized and it's amazing, both in how little things actually have to bother you, and how absolutely batshit some people make themselves over a non-problem
This world is weird and stupid and you only have so many years on it. Just make it a place that's more welcoming to the other miserable sods stuck on it
Allusion@riley Hmm, I think I might know that Klingon.
GwenTheKween - Find me @kitsunes.club, I don't see anything here@riley
> Rather than try to "normalize everything, just accept that some people are weird
Fun fact! It is impossible to find an "average person". By that I mean, if you take the average size of: legs, arms, forearms, fingers, toes, nails, nose. then you take average height, belly button height, and so on.... you can't find a single person that fits all these criteria. I think if you take more than 5 you're already hard pressed to find one person in the whole US.
Average, and normal, is useful for some things like medical stuff or talking about groups, but each individual WILL be weird (as in, far from average) in at least one if not a couple of things.
Let's embrace the not normal
Li ~ Crystal System@riley “your mind is a pirate ship” genuinely best description of DID I’ve ever heard .. im using that ha
Talya (she/her) 🏳️⚧️✡️@riley
I refuse to be mad at things people do that don't hurt anyone. it's amazing just how much anger and stress is spared that way.

"not minding my own business" sounds like work, not gonna do that mate.

I don't understand plural systems. Having multiple people in your head. But I'm going to just roll with it.
I couldn't understand why some people think they are animals. So weird. But they taught me that you can be anything and now I'm a robot. Isn't that cool?

Willow "Wolveric" Catkin@riley With the Klingon's stroller??? 
Berdandy@riley very cool post. I feel like this can be interpreted as an interesting way to describe what is essentially (non-religious) taoism.
MaxTheFox@riley @mynameistillian The world stopped making sense long ago (arguably never did), trying to shove everything into neat boxes leads to either bigotry or exhaustion, who yea why bother? Existentialism is fun.
Janis@riley Fascism needs to be de-normalized, tho. That's a tricky tangle.
FREE🇵🇸PALESTINE, Says @Sine@riley klingon pushing a baby stroller! Qapla in your baby stroll. May your child grow up to be a great warrior for the empire! Qapla; 🖖
LovePoison@riley That's horrible advice for certain things though. What about pedophiles then? Are they also just weird?
ಚಿರಾಗ್ 🌹✊🏾Ⓥ🌱🇵🇸 (he/him)@LovePoison @riley I mean, the problem there is that it's not consensual, not that it's 'weird' per se. Like, the same way r*pe is not something we should "roll with" - someone has been violated and consent has been ignored, and that becomes an issue.
Sky Leite@LovePoison That’s like intentionally taking what was said in the absolute worst way possible lol. You know that’s not what’s being said
@sky No, I just interpreted it wrong
@LovePoison Fair enough I suppose
TransitBiker@riley normal is an appliance setting.
Vysogota@riley a line must be drawn, unfortunately.
Unhealthy habits IMO must be socially unacceptable -- substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, tobacco, etc.), gambling addiction, unhealthy food habits all are a burden (apart from the person partaking in them) to close family/friends, and to society in general, thus the society must shun them.
And before I get flamed, I say this as a person who had to take care of a drug addict friend. Never again am I enabling a person's drug addiction by being silent.
@riley and don't get me started on obesity... Have you had a loved one faint on you for no apparent reason, you try to catch them but you can't hold them up because they're twice your weight. They fall, hit their head in the pavement. You can't feel pulse, can't feel breathing, you tell yourself *well this is how my X dies in my arms* and start doing chest compressions..
They came to, and the ambulance staff said it was possibly a drop in blood pressure (due to obesity)
Still having nightmares
sortius@riley I'm 44, a single dad with two kids, with no job and disabilities; rolling with it is all I have left 😆
Ricki Yasha Tarr@riley I'm normally weird and happy about it.
Jo - pièce de résistance@riley I love this. just roll with it is my belief too. People are constantly changing how we see and think about ourselves, the world, how we play, how we find joy. it’s harmless joy seeking. There is a joy of exploration, discovery, courage, play, self reflection, self awareness, self respect, self expression and authenticity that I respect.
Júbilo MX (moved to @@JoBlakely @riley the beauty is the unexpectad ray of light in a storm... the never seen before flower.. not the grass in a soccer/football field... who wants normal? #notMe
