Howdy! Can confirm that most people and places I’ve seen on the Fediverse are lovely… Except Hexbear. They’re one wall of cognitive dissonance away from being right wingers and constantly complaining that liberals are all lying to themselves about their liberalism. That THEY are the TRUE left wingers.

Do I just copy and paste this into my filter lists?

This is called deism, by the way. The idea that God made the world and now just let’s it run.

I just wish you could see the wave form on the timeline. Ridiculous that it’s not a default feature.

I feel like the context would make it make sense to you. If somebody tried your cooking, and then, their eyes lit up and a big smile spread across their face, and they yelled, “This soup is THE TITS!!!” before they proceed to eat more, you’d be able to tell they were complimenting it.

My lesbian friends would disagree.

Hades 3 just dropped.

Actually, it says he’s “fukin’” male. Lol

Please try August Uncommon Teas. August.la is the link. I raved about them to a friend who honestly became annoyed with me going on about them. Then, tried them. She called me and was like, “Oh, shit. Nico was right.”

It’s just you trying to break out of the Matrix, but you keep waking up back inside it.

So THAT’S why it’s always so high-quality.

No, literally. Sauce?

“You’re all assholes too? Psh, then why am I pretending not to be?!”

As somebody with social anxiety, it sounds like your MIL also has social anxiety. Hence, the constant need to have to reinforce that other people can stand her. I had to train this out of myself in my late teens/early 20s.

I know it’s annoying to deal with, but showing a little compassion and simply affirming that you’re exhausted but her relationship with you is secure will go a long way for her. She’ll probably get used to you being quiet around her too.

I think it’s really ironic when I see these memes, because it highlights how our own heads will highlight the things that grate against our own nerves.

I assume everybody that this resonates with resonates with it because they themselves have been told to go against their nature and wanna know why the other side hasn’t.

I’m the other end of that spectrum. I promise you, people told me all that. “Mind your peers. Share the space. Stop being…so much. Learn to be comfortable in silences. What can’t you shut the fuck up?”

I have autism, so I didn’t understand why I was always screwing it up. I also hated hearing, “Be yourself. People will like you for who you are,” because I found that when I stopped trying to mask, I’d immediately hear all of the above all over again.

Yeah, what are they doing there? Crazy Antarcticans.

I could not figure out how to get acquainted with people on there.

If you click the line, there’s a video interview with the guy that line is about. Apparently, that line caused a rift between him and Biggie. Wonder why?

Meteors was fantastic! But yes, after that, it kinda fell off.
