  • Crushposting: (cw suicidal ideation)

    They’re really struggling with their Bullshit Job and feel worthless. I said, if you’re worthless, then I’m worthless too. They said no, because I make them happy. I said if you’re worthless and my only use is making you happy, aren’t I just as worthless with extra steps, and we laughed.

    Maybe the more romantic response would be to say that they make me happy too, but I thought it was more important to epicly own them highlight the toxic capitalist dehumanizing logic. Maybe I should have said both things, because they’re not at conflict but rather reinforce each other. But that would mean potentially being cheesy or sappy. 😱

    Now I worry they think I’m needlessly cold, trying to manipulatively withhold affection or something, or that I tried to make fun of their experience. jokerfication





  • I wonder how being an admin skews your view of the culture. Maybe you don’t want to read literally every post, but you still feel it’s your duty to check reported posts, which are inevitably dogshit. So enough days of this and you’ll think the average poster is a variably scratched lib wrecker. Or you listen to dubious stories from what seems like untrustworthy other mods who want to wreck as much as any other lib. Combine that with talking a break and only hearing about this place through echoes in the grapevine.
