  • Hang in there, comrade. Possible uplifting story below, but tagging it as a spoiler in case you’re not in a place to read it rn.

    spoiler

    I got sort of dumped on Valentines Day two years ago. I had some famcy plans with someone I had been dating for about four months who stood me up and ghosted me. I didn’t hear from her for a month and she barely offered an apology. Two months later I met someone else for what was supposed to be casual thing but that grew to be a relationship with the most wonderful person I’ve ever known. We’re living together and hopefully spending the rest of our lives together.



  • The funny thing is, what they call “gifted” is just someone with a really efficient data storage and recall system. I was a “gifted” kid, always 98/99th percentile on every standardized test I took, but when it comes to things like synthesis of knowledge and generating new ideas, the truly creative stuff, I’m average at best. The educational system needs a new definition of gifted, new ways to identify those people and new modes of engagement to help them develop their gifts. That new definition still wouldn’t include these guys, though, who believe they’re gifted because they see through (((the conspiracy))). Bro, you’ve got narcissistic personality disorder, sit down and shut up.




  • I’m not incriminating anyone, the information is already out there. By defending this person, you are setting yourself up to lose a moral battle that you could never win, which is exactly what these libs of tiktok type people want when they do this.

    Read any biography about a black athlete that broke color barriers in the 40s and 50s. Not only did they have to be better at their jobs than 90% of their white peers to even get a shot, they also had to be near perfect human beings to prevent exactly the scenario we see playing out right now. It wasn’t right then and it isn’t right now, but that’s reality. If you’re not willing to form a militia and put these reactionaries up against a wall, then these are the parameters in which we have to exist. Frankly, I’d prefer the wall route, but not enough people want to do that or think it’s possible, so here we are.

    Like it or not, this person was representing a lot of marginalized folks when they took that job and they really fucked things up for a lot of people by stealing shit they had the resources to buy in the first place. It sucks that their identity is being made the focus by bad actors, but we know these are our enemy’s tactics and we should act accordingly.
