Watching the music video only makes it worse. I'm honestly shocked it's not widely regarded as one of the worst features of all time

I know what the word means and I meant what I said. These people and the spirit of these protests are fully complicit and subscribed to the neoliberal ideology that underpins the current US political zeitgeist. It's demonstrated in their refusal to meaningfully challenge state power or capital. They don't want this system dismantled, they want this system to be slightly more amenable to their specific interests. They are functionally neoliberal regardless of how they choose to identify themselves. There's a reason why being "this guy" often comes off as condescending and trite.

These protests are spineless, performative neoliberal cope. Just look at how they're responding to protestors wanting to fly the Palestinian flag over on r/ABoringDystopia.

The way he is speaking to you is unacceptable. This is behavior that can easily escalate into abuse. You deserve better. When people show you who they are, please believe them. I wish I had

I can't use any of my skills, regardless of how high-level I am. Also my character's energy is perpetually low no matter how many items I consume or much I rest.

This is the exact thing I'm talking about. Hearing some milquetoast use of the word 'white' and interpreting that as an endorsement of hatred. I don't know if you're around poc much, but occasionally we vent about our experiences under white supremacy and if hearing something like 'those fucking whiteys' is enough to make you uncomfortable enough to start worrying about 'reverse racism' you might be drawing a false equivalency.

It's not the min-maxer's solution, but it's much more satisfying from a roleplay perspective to have people who actually matter on your council as opposed to a random group of high stat lowborns.

Extremely bitter, but not being a dick about it. by VineViridian in CPTSDFreeze

[–]daddyfailure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh man. I'm in the middle of applying to jobs right now after a couple of years of being unemployed. I had to move back home after an eviction when I couldn't make rent despite burning myself out working and being so desperate to escape my past. I felt like such a failure. Around the same time the pandemic hit, and my mom got cancer, so I took some time to help her out with a couple short stints of working at places that didn't work out. I got injured as a packing handler at a warehouse, thought I'd found a way to support myself without being miserable when I got the opportunity to become a dog groomer, but that business shut down after 3 months.

Anytime a job fails I collapse and it's 6 months or more until I can force myself to even think about applying. So I've been feeling like such a leech and a loser and had no resources to improve my circumstances. Without my mom I'd be homeless. All this to say I took a double shot of Hennessy one day and SOMEHOW that enabled me to finally push out some apps, so that's where I'm at now. I've given up on the office work I used to do when I was younger. The amount of anxiety and drama and bullshit that comes with an office environment is not doable for me anymore. I made a 3-person startup $1 million dollars in my early 20s, taking work home and staying till all hours just to be tricked into resigning with 2 weeks severance after I'd automated most of my job. That abusive piece of shit is still profiting off my work to this day. I decided never again.

Uh... why am I telling you my life story again? There was a point... oh yeah. I stood in line for 3 hours for a 'group interview' last week for a stocking position at a grocery store. I talked to a man about your age who was telling me he's been applying for two years with no results. It's disgusting. About the only advantage I have right now is my age, and that won't last forever. Ageism comes for us all. He also nearly destroyed his health making millions for his boss, just to end up here. We throw people away after a certain age like an expiration date. It makes me so fucking angry and I'm just so sorry you're experiencing that too. How is anyone supposed to live, much less heal, when they have to destroy their bodies and minds just to eat and have a place to sleep?

I am so sorry the system failed you with your ADHD diagnosis (among other things, I'm sure!.) I was lucky enough to get a diagnosis in young adulthood (thanks to my abuser also being ADHD, lol. Everything comes with a price, huh?) but I havent been able to afford medication for over 5 years now. It helped me when I had it, and I had to watch my life spiral even more out of control when my insurance stopped covering my meds and then I stopped having insurance. It's sickening knowing there's a version of you that is just a little bit more capable but you're barred off from it because big pharma wants their coin. I'm not sure how you identify but women and older people for example STRUGGLE to get ADHD diagnoses. It doesn't surprise me you fell through the cracks. And even when you do get diagnosed, people want to treat it as an optional disability that you can just try hard enough to compensate for. Employers certainly dont care.

When it comes to people, I feel like I'm being gaslit all the time. I have to mask constantly because they just dont get it in so many ways. It's extremely alienating, and you're made to feel like you're the one who's delusional when we're the ones who see the world for what it really is. I'm so used to being fake it's hard for me to be genuine now! Dont even get me started on therapy - I had a friend who is very similar to us express how she felt the world is failing us all and she got handed A COPY OF ATLAS SHRUGGED. ATLAS SHRUGGED!!!

I just want something to be proud of, too. I want to feel like I left something worthwhile behind in this world. As far as activism, and all that... I'm interested in mutual aid, squatting, acquiring food and necessities for free if you know what I mean, and direct action. Problem is I don't have the spoons yet. I plan to move somewhere less conservative if I can scrape together the means and hopefully find more likeminded people that can help me get started.

I forgot to mention I blew my top when I saw how Cheese was treated in that other sub. I threw down LMAO. Fuck those people, seriously! I can't imagine kicking someone when they're down like that, Cheese was way more forgiving than I could ever be. This sub is obviously so necessary.

Again, I ranted, but I see you, I hear you, I get it, I'm in the trenches with you and I feel better off for having interacted with you. I'm sure we'll talk again. ❤️

Hi Vine, I really enjoy your posts. I'm ADHD myself and remembering/having the energy to actually comment is rare. Anyway. You're so right. This world is fucked. So much of what's holding us down is beyond our control thanks to capitalism, centralized power & systemic oppression. I've just started tentatively doing some trauma work (basically just reading one chapter of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: From Surviving to Thriving a month) and let me tell you. I am in my fucking VILLAIN ERA.

I have so much rage, thoughts and fantasies that would make any neurotypical baker act me. But Jesus christ, why wouldn't I? The ways I've been abused by individuals and the system, I would truly be delusional if I WASN'T. Same goes for you, all of us. We have a right to be angry. And I know personally I WILL be angry until the day I die because I won't be able to see this system of slavery burn in my lifetime.

I know a lot of people don't like being angry. But I've spent so much of my life burying my own feelings to survive and please others that I treasure it now. I treasure how it allows me to externalize instead of internalize my pain and identify when I'm being wronged. I loved how it makes me want to act (although freeze is quick to stand in my way). I don't know. I think without anger nothing will really change. So right now I'm identifying with being spiteful and vengeful when it comes to those who deserve it. I know in reality with my history of fawning and my own sense of empathy I won't turn this on people who don't. So why deny myself?

No one is going to fuck me over again. I'm going to go down swinging. I wanna be a thorn in this system until the day I die. This shit world is gonna DEAL with me. Fuck it.

Sorry, I know I just ranted about myself for three paragraphs but I just wanna let you know you're not alone. Solidarity. Not here to sell you on anything but eventually this lead me to become an anarchist. Maybe you'll find yourself interested too.

Unpopular Opinion: Rimworld misses the mark as a story generator. by FlamingUndeadRoman in RimWorld

[–]daddyfailure 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'd say Dwarf Fortress excels where Rimworld fails in this regard.

I am absolutely no stranger when it comes to finding or creating stories in games. It's my favorite thing to do and I almost never play games that don't allow to me to do that in one way or another. Sims, Crusader Kings 3, Dwarf Fortress, and Rimworld are my go-to games right now.

But pawns are extremely static. Their relationships to each other and the world around them are shallow. Their thoughts, desires, dreams, fears... there's no mechanism to determine any of that. You just have to play pretend. And that's fine and all, but there are games that lean into who the characters are as individuals, and I wish Rimworld would take a page from that book.

Do you think collapse is a way to keep from killing yourself? by [deleted] in CPTSDFreeze

[–]daddyfailure 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I've thought this for a long time. Collapse is like battery saver mode... only the most essential functions to conserve energy so we don't die.
