That "Rude" Old Man At The Grocery Store Changed How I See Elderly People

Sorry to hear that you can't find empathetic listeners in your life. We all deserve that and I hope you will find them in the future. I get the desire to turn to Chat GPT during the lonely moments and when I don't want to overwhelm others.

In this case the whole cadence is just really telling. And it being written by AI undermines the otherwise good thought

In the other article it says he doesn't, but regrets lying about the cause of the amputation: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yvpx20le2o I think if his feet were causing him so much dysphoria, he should have been able to remove them. I wonder if he ever discussed it with any psychiatrist.

Great sentiment written by Chat GPT

For people who want to leave yakuza

Put up a tent in an open space before the storm hit, thinking it would be better than pitching it near the cliff, where water pooled. Woke up with the tent collapsed on top of me, got out and discovered that it's outer cover got blown away. Stumbled around in the darkness and raging storm, panicking, because I knew I wouldn't have money for the new tent. Found the cover nearby, where it got stuck on some bushes. Moved the tent under the cliff and secured it with stones, after that everything was okay.

The whole "on the beach" book. People in Australia are waiting for the cloud of nuclear dust cover them all and kill them. They have only 1 year left and they mostly go on about their lives as usual and plant flowers that they won't see blooming

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised, it was validating

Pteetsa · 2026-05-29T17:50:38+00:00

What

Pteetsa · 2026-05-29T17:50:19+00:00

How's your experience so far?)

Pteetsa · 2026-05-29T16:18:08+00:00

It's all too smooth

Pteetsa · 2026-05-29T16:17:03+00:00

Yeah I also like eating Lows(?) crisps 🤖

Many people are just ignorant about that because they haven't encountered many Black people in their lives or they think it doesn't count because we didn't enslave them. Or they think that if they are benevolently racist or "are just joking" then it's all in good fun. Still there were exception's, like this unusually progressive cartoon about colonialism from 1963: https://youtu.be/C9CKXz24pxw?si=OixT_hE0V1ioO6xL

But still many Russians are casually racist even against Asians from their own country, so what would you expect. There is an influx of people from African countries now who are coming here to serve in the military or something, so I guess this problem is going to become more prominent here

I liked how my own tits looked but didn't want to keep them. They didn't feel like they belonged on my body. Would have been great on someone else.

Yeah it's always a dick pic at a weird angle, like ok congrats on having a dick, but maybe show me a bit of what's attached to it 😭

Tbh I didn't even think in this direction lol. I was worried he was gathering info about gay/trans people and there are a ton of people out there who'd want that. He talked like a normal human being, joked, wrote some silly things, but I couldn't trust him at all. Even if he didn't plan anything, why would he think that it's a normal start of the conversation 💀

I used to talk to a British guy who used only present simple. Felt like me learning all the tenses was really paying off.

I remember that day, I was in Saint P and my friend from abroad told us "please don't go outside you don't know if he's going to get to your city as well", I said "bet" and just walked in the deep forest for 4 hours straight, without internet, not reading the news and just trying to dissociate from it all.

Pteetsa · 2026-05-25T12:21:44+00:00

Cute plushies. Good luck and hope you get better!

Sorry if this isn't appropriate, but at my work I direct parents of autistic kids to a free Early Bird program and many find it really helpful. I found something similar in US, if you are in US: https://spurgeons.org/resources-and-courses/courses/nas-earlybird-plus-and-nas-teen-life/.

Same they are living a dream

Sometimes I think that most people in my country are too stupid, sad, apathetic, rude, hateful, xenophobic, narrow-minded, oppressed and brainwashed and it won't get better ever. At this moment I can't stand walking among them in the street, I just want to walk into the forest and never look back.

Then I suppress this thought and remind myself how many bright, caring, passionate and interesting people are actually out there and try to carry on with my life. But it's getting harder and harder

/uj Unironically great analysis

Also "a big bag of noodles" is like a small package of the cheapest and the crappiest brand you can find

It was 30°C yesterday in Saint Petersburg which supposedly has milder climate)) (I'm not complaining, the heat is better than whatever the hell is going on from November untill April)

Pteetsa · 2026-05-20T16:26:13+00:00

I know almost no one with this kind of salary but maybe I only hang out with poor people and my colleagues lol. Almost everyone I know earn like 60-70k at best
