I liked using em dashes, but now I’ve stopped. I’m ecen less likely to fix minor spelling and grammatical errors that I otherwise would’ve, because at least it will be easier to recognize a human behind the comment or post.

Also, signing my name like this helps too: ,.),.)==============D~~~~~~~

Ya, obv

Actually am watching season two again recently, for the fifth time

Brother, I hope so.

I feel like this is something the autistic brain notices a lot, and may regular folks not so much.

What a small-balls thing to say.

The horror of acceptance for others. Oh my god, please make it stop. /s

I recall Trump was bestowed the FIFA Award of Peace. There was a gold trophy and award ceremony and everything.

Who on Earth could have foreseen such a reversal?

A pedantic critique that offers nothing to the conversation

It’s a difficult communication style to emulate, especially when its not very compatible to your natural style.

There is also a very real risk of it becoming very bad for your mental health to the point where you want to kys… because you can lose track of the real you while trying to chase acceptance from people who are inclined to reject you based on surface-level, emotionally-driven judgments.

So here’s what you do. 99% of people you don’t want to put your energy into. You are searching for rare, high-quality individuals who make their relationship judgments based on character rather than persona.

The rest aren’t worth your time. That’s not to imply they are worthless or bad people, but you will waste your energy and self esteem trying to build connections that wont work. Find the people who are actually awesome, you won’t need to fake anything.

Well, I think you’re saying those are things that you can’t do. And thats fine, but a lot if poeple need to take ownership of what they can do and figure out how to cooperate appropriately to get some things done.

New leaders need to emerge thats true, but they will need support as well in various ways.

But all those people will all have to take ownership for making this stop and figure out how to fight back.

I get safety/security is a concern, but things are in a circumstance now where you will probably get fucked either way.

As long as everyone keeps waiting for someone else to do something real, youre all screwed.

Until people like you are thinking “It’s gonna have to be me” then the situation will not likely improve.

we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes

Of course he is, he benefitted from it. America ain’t coming back until the people take it back, and that’s gonna be done the hard way.

Yes. I have a hard no for participating willingly in expansion of mass surveillance, censorship and propaganda.

And that’s ultimately what this move supports. It was no surprise to find out all the shady aspects following the announcement, but I had already burned Discord out of my life the day they announced their genius idea.

Its my enshittification red line. I will quit your product without hesitation and find another way. I will never go back

Discord gets paid for user’s data and they just lost a ton of users. That’s why they are “cutting ties” with Persona.

I suspect its more of a temporary reaction and they will reframe this age-verification and the related data collection and try again later.

Yep. Its wasn’t even a question

I think this has always been a problem in many of the online social spaces.

Forums, xbox live, all the way back since the Internet became a common service.

The parents need to be more involved in regulating kids access to internet, socials and otherwise, and they can make choices based on what they see.

Absentee parenting, at least in the digital realm is the problem on both sides of this issue.

LOL. Ill try one of the of the dog turds in my back yard

Hell yes King/Queen. This is what I’m talking about. Thanks, fam.

I can use this as a real starter

Oh yes I think I’ve heard of certain enzymes you can take to offset this. I will look into it, thank you.

So true. This is the main factor, stress increases sensitivity and inflammation

Yeah ive been in chronic stress mode for several months now. I know this is the main issue, but unfortunately my stresses aren’t going away soon.

Ive been staying away from garlic and onions, but I probably need to start logging my food and tracking my reactions in a more deliberate way

Thanks
