Into another environment?

Better stay away from okdoomer.io.

Do you have any tips for resisting the Doom Spiral™?

Thanks for that! Now I don't have to read any of that. /s

By CYOA did you mean cover your own ass or choose your own adventure?

I knew I wouldn't have to scroll down too far to find this comment. Thank you.

They do but not in the ways that you would expect. People have natural built-in software or maybe even hardware that makes them perform, for lack of a better term, othering. Anyone that's different than you anyone that seems strange anyone that's not like someone that you've met before or who is like someone that you didn't like that you met before, they will be categorized and othered. This is just how the human brain processes information, finds similarities, and understands patterns.

So in that sense, the people have not changed at all. They still sense the otherness the difference but the difference is how they react and how they treat people.

Partially, they have changed because I've decided to show less of myself.

The other change that I see is that people are better able to mask their own distaste for people so if you for example weird someone out, there may be subtle signs and indications just by how they treat you how they address you and in general how they relate to you but those signs will be harder to see. Not a lot of people in high school have that kind of masking really well developed.

So, if what you're getting at is that maybe it would be different if I unmasked to people right now given that I'm a fully grown adult and all that, yes it would be but the result, I fear, in fact I'm fairly certain, would be similar.

Other than family there are four people who know and only 2 who know the whole story.

Edit: I'll tell my kids once they are old enough to keep a secret.

Much appreciated. High school was quite the education. People definitely treat you differently no matter what, but moreso if they know.

I had multiple different accounts for different purposes and ended up deleting them all. I was there near the beginning and a bit sad to leave, but you're better off now that you aren't going there.

I think you'll notice a change in your mood over the next couple of weeks and that will help put all of this behind you.

Welcome ❤️

Hahah. Better version of cancer. I'm stealing that!

Yup. In high school. I now have a well crafted and honed mask that I wear.

Why not?

As far as I can remember, that's been the reason. All the characters I'd played as (Lara Croft and Aloy excluded) were male. Why not a girl?

So really, it's just been for the novelty.

Samhain was co-opted (into all hallows eve) by Christians to convince more celts to convert, wasn't it?

Edit: I just realized I "well actually'd"... Sorry about that. LOL

I went to 5 guys yesterday. Me and 2 little kids. $50.

Fifty.

I can definitely do without beef.

The way grocery prices are going, I can do without chicken and fish and pork too.

Time to break out the bean recipes.

At this point it's not even just that, it's actually very petty and childish.

Right? I tried it out with a friend of mine that has an Apple device, I have Android, and we were joking about Apple shutting it down within a few days. Lo and behold it took only 3 days.

Good bot

It'd be nice if apple wasn't so petty.

Let me know when you land on something. I have similar issues and am looking to divest from Spotify.

I like the functionality of Spotify, but the payment is painful.

I see what you're saying. It's definitely bullshit to accept compromise at the moment. Like I said in another reply I don't see anything about them saying a particular gender should make a particular compromise but the idea of compromising with fascists is not okay. I see how they're trying to nudge the reader rightwards.

Thanks.

Agreed. Just read the article on https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2F2023%2F11%2F22%2Fmarriage-polarization-dating-trump%2F

Because archive.is wasn't working. Looks like the Fair article is relying on people not being determined enough to get past the paywall and read/think for themselves.(an assumption, granted)

The way the article is written, I believe one's bias going into the article would more likely determine which gender you think needs to compromise than anything about the article says. My feeling is that the men had best get their heads on straight unless they want to be basement dwelling and involuntarily celebrate. Maybe that's just me.

Ninja edit: I agree with other statements about wapo pushing the reader rightwards.
