All the food is poison

I entered the SAVE thing and then got put in forbearance, what does this mean for my loans?

Holy shit, that whole sub… that’s just sad.

I did a bit of research on Judaism to reconcile with zionism/anti-semitism and all that, and I saw how different it is from zionism, and that zionism is actually more anti-semitic than being anti-zionist etc.

But imagine if you knew nothing about it, and then went on r/Jewish. You would be getting the WRONG impression for sure.

Wow the detail is incredible. I found myself zooming in and looking at everything.

Yeah I actually enjoy hugs but I’m just awkward about it, like idk when it’s appropriate, and I’m too nervous to initiate it, etc etc.

Sometimes I get so mad that it’s been so long, and my family has been like this possibly for generations and generations, and only NOW are they just figuring us out. For so long, nobody fucking gave a shit, nobody fucking bothered to even understand us. Just locked us up, lobotomized us, shamed us for being different, and left us to go homeless and die. And only NOW do they realize: “Wow, it looks like they’re actual people with feelings!” Fuck everything. Monstrous society.

I used to believe in all 4 of those things. It is painful when the illusion is shattered, so many avoid it.

At most, I can gently suggest that we’re actually the bad guys, not the good guys, and people are starting to agree with me.

What is this from?

There’s a looooot of Trump flags where I live, which makes me feel as though support is high. But I have no idea really.

I can’t stand people who complain about other people’s lawns. Especially knowing how pointless and wasteful they are. All it amounts to is that you’ve sinned against their suburbanite cult by not following their sacred ritual of “maintaining the property”. The not socializing thing, too. My family is neurodivergent and we’ve always had problems with neighbors acting snotty towards us because we’re “weird”. Now that I think of it, having a manicured lawn so people don’t get mad at you is a type of masking lol.

It is depressing when their devotion to the cult of normalcy causes them to celebrate the eviction of a less than perfect tenant. Such heartlessness.

Nothing about society made sense, people were always doing things contrary to what they professed to believe or hold dear. Fast forward thirty years, I start learning about the contradictions of capitalism, and slowly things started to click. I could finally start processing why nothing made sense to me as a child. The system can’t make sense! That was so freeing, to realize that, and that there are alternatives.

Literally same!!! And the capitalist realism caused me so much despair too.

Isn’t that dangerous? That tunnel is so narrow. Just one way? What happens if you have to reverse? Break down halfway through? Have a medical emergency? I don’t get how it’s supposed to even work.

Left: “I have read history and note the parallels between past fascism and current events. People like me are being specifically called out and threatened for genocide just like they did back then. I must defend myself and our community now.”

Right: “You know, like, the old America times? THey had a 3% and that did a revolution I think. We should do that when the Chinese infiltrating spies try to make the government too big. It’s too big and that’s bad. I’m gonna teach this little girl to do a white power sign. You want some pickles?”

This will play in my head now whenever I go outside

I think I might. I excelled in school and yet my math grades were always around a C. I have a hard time keeping numbers in my head, they just disappear unless i focus really really hard to keep them there. I can remember many frustrated tears shed trying to do math homework, or being the last one still working on the math test. And yeah basically I need a calculator unless I really put a lot of effort to keep the numbers in my head, but at that point it feels like you’re really straining a muscle so to speak. When I’m knitting, I sometimes have to count my stitches over and over because I forgot the number halfway through counting.

It’s odd because at the same time, I’m really good at logic. I got a degree in computer science (but ended up being too autistic to get a job). I always got great grades for my programming work. I can remember taking a physics course and most of the time the math was just rearranging equations, where you’re just dealing with the logic of switching the symbols around like m, t, d, etc, and plugging the numbers into the calculator. I was great at that, and even enjoyed it sometimes. But the damn numbers, man. If our physics teacher didn’t let us use calculators I would have failed. So in my brain at least, it seems that arithmetic and logic are two separate things.

Wow I was unaware of that day. I don’t know very much about the religion. Thanks for the article, the pilgrimage sounds pretty cool.

the Arba’in pilgrimage was banned by the Iraqi president Saddam Hussein (r. 1979–2003)

Wow up until getting to that point I was reading about the significance of the tradition and it sounded so cool and then apparently he did that. That was like such whiplash. I was like wait he did what?? No wonder they didn’t like him, damn.
