oh i’ve heard both, i probably just thought of designed because i saw the word designed lmao

I literally can’t remember the leftist word for a product that’s designed to break after some time.

it’s designed obsolescence

its actually so gross, and they don’t bat an eye to how fucking racist and gross it is because “well we’re just analyzing how certain groups voted”

icky i hate it

i was listening to my father watch the news for a bit while making tea, and man. the amount of times they mentioned a given minority group like it was a monolith was crazy.

wish that were me

hes hot

inflation cooling and jobs surging lmao

i love making shit up

YTA, sexualizing the pure nature of the gnome like that

onions r delicious

Yea

It’s to make people think they have some amount of individualist control over ecological collapse. If you just recycle, then you are helping the environment! Do not look further into this.

gross

especially the ones about taking a pay cut and not needing a raise

fuck you, pay me

my masc name is cool as shit actually

Had a similar experience

relatable

I have mixed thoughts on therapy, I started it a few months ago (my health care provider offered me free therapy, yippee) and the most helpful things my therapist has done for me is recommend me books that go in depth into a subject.

There are some things I could never tell my therapist bc I know they’d try to “fix” me (namely the fact I’m plural), and dealing with that would probably do a lot of harm. I can’t tell them about any self-harming thoughts because I’ll be institutionalized. But it has been helpful to work through understanding my abusive relationship, how to deal with anxiety, how to navigate my relationship with my parents in a safe way that won’t get me kicked out, etc.

Basically I don’t know everything about the world or myself and having someone tell me what they know is useful, but the interactions also inherently feel somewhat adversarial because of the aforementioned reasons, which limits the effectiveness. I sure as fuck wouldn’t pay money for it, lol.

Not really.

I started therapy a bit before I broke up with my abusive ex. I had always thought that I had a very good way of introspecting; when there were problems in the relationship I was able to reflect on my actions and improve myself. Turns out I was just being gaslit into thinking everything was my fault, and I needed a therapist who knew what tells of abuse and abuse victims were so it could be clear to me that I was acting like an abuse victim and my relationship was obviously and clearly abusive.

Your perspective on yourself and your actions is not infallible, everyone is prone to biases and blindspots.

have you considered how much happier you’d be if you were happy?

to think all those poor citizens had to learn how to perfectly paint realism just to pull this stunt… that’s so sad…

did you know they actually put those lights on just for the picture, bc no one in north korea actually has electricity. crazy.
