in general, gen z culture doesn’t have a norm for greeting/acknowledging people they don’t already know. Their custom is headphones/eyes down until engagement is required. It’s a “don’t speak unless spoken to” culture. This of course feels dehumanizing to anyone older

you'll see someone doing "picky bits" for dinner and it's a plate of potato smileys and then you'll see someone's "picky bits" and it's a whole ass charcuterie platter

ppl have this weird attitude that you gotta do certain stuff in business hours and anyone wanting it to be an evening activity just "wants to be different"... there's museums in gernamy open 4am-1am you just got stuck in a 9-5 mindset. let people do things!

more people need to realise that neurodivergent just means you process things in a different way to neurotypical people, not that everyone who's neurodivergent processes things in the SAME different way. Also, explanation ≠ excuse.

"let your anxiety win" is not good advice

It’s really strange how so many protests, many of which start with noble aims, end up serving as an excuse for big babies in grown-up bodies to burn shit.

the current form of protest is woefully incapable of meeting our moment. protest is a material threat (eg labor strike) or it is optics. if it is optics, the narrative is everything. but leaderless emergent protest leaves room for anyone to create a visceral spectacle that

how fucking spineless do you have to be to see another minority being extrajudicially kidnapped and deported, and just turn a blind eye?

and what about the rest of the country who also earn less than £35k, fuck them I guess?

if I were scared shitless of the immigration gestapo the last thing I'd want is to find my local trusted grocery store looted and smashed up because the people supposedly protesting for my freedom decided that was a reasonable escalation

"all old people deserve the fuel allowance" no they don't! We all deserve cheap energy but a pensioner with £1m+ in assets and/or a substantial pension/savings does NOT deserve a government subsididy. They deserve the opposite, tax their wealth more!

I think some of you need to reeducate yourselves on what toxic means

imagine someone doesn't reply to a message on Snapchat and 5 minutes later Microsoft start snapping you about AI dating advice to stop getting ghosted 💀

THIS is protecting women. Not... whatever else the Labour Party has been doing so far. Less trans persecution, more of this please 👍

yeah dawg that's on you more than them sorry

I really hate the “you care more about burning Waymos than children being detained by ICE” nonsense. I don’t get to just get to burn down your house, declare it’s to save babies with cancer, and denounce you for caring more about your house than babies with cancer
