Something that really pisses me off about this is that empathy can absolutely be exploited by bad actors. Empathizing with the wrong people can be harmful. But they’ve defined “wrong people” as “minorities” and that’s the fucked up part.
Unnecessarily doing it especially to a newborn should absolutely be illegal. Sometimes it might be medically necessary, like my son opted to have it done years ago because he was entirely non-retractile and it was causing him a great deal of pain. But outside of instances like that? Shouldn’t be done.
The @ireallyhateyou is absolutely insane work.
He’s pretending to hack away at foliage while deliberately leading people away from their destination and charging them for his pathfinding services.
As someone who due to dealing with chronic pain and having to pick my grooming battles often looks like the most neckbearded, “tips fedora” ass reddit mod MF that ever lived. I can imagine at least a little bit.
Like I’m not out here neglecting basic hygiene which is a step up from some of the people I’ve met. But shaving is definitely the first thing that gets dropped when my pain starts flaring up and then I start looking more and more like the kind of person that’s had a few too many “actually she’s a 3,000 year old vampire so it’s fine,” conversations.
I used to not like when people would shitpost about bigots being Secret Transes. But I’m not gonna lie, with how often these fuck knuckles have accused my cisgender wife of being trans because she’s 5’10" and rather butch looking? Or the piece of shit lady who transvestigated my at the time 2 year old daughter? I can’t bring myself to care about it happening to this “Behold, the Master Race” looking headass.
Can’t be Charlie Kirk’s, face is too big. Gotta be some unfortunate look alike’s love child instead.
Doesn’t a calzone require the fold in the dough where a ravioli is two “sheets” of cough pinched together? Or am I misremembering sandwich classifications?
To be fair, she was more disgusted by him responding that way to the “I’m married” thing than anything else.
This reminds me of a burn my wife gave to a random guy that decided to hit on her one day she was out running errands while I was taking care of the kids.
Deadass just first thing out of her mouth after he hit her with the “I won’t tell if you won’t,” to her saying she’s married. “Ew, I’m gonna need you to tell me what about any of this (gesturing to her entire Butch Lesbian look) made you believe I was straight so I can immediately remedy it.” I almost felt bad for the guy for a second. Almost.
When bro is such a bro you completely forget he’s trans.
My wife’s got a friend this happens with all the time. She’ll be talking to him and something about our oldest will come up. She’ll make some remark to him thinking he’ll relate, entirely forgetting that he had to transition so he didn’t experience whatever it was the same way.
Nah he had a foundation too.
It absolutely can be if you let it get out of control. I still struggle with it in fact. It can cause emotional burnout, wreck your mental health, things like that. To be fair, even the “good” version of this gets weaponized to ignore causes that someone might not want to care about without “being a bad person” all the time. Think the “I have to prioritize my own mental health” types who only seem to have energy for issues that directly affect them. Again having limited emotional energy isn’t the issue, being disingenuous about it is.
But that’s not what this freak is talking about. What this freak is talking about amounts to “Empathy is reserved for the in-group. If it impedes our efforts or contradicts our dogma, then it’s toxic empathy,” basically.
This is how I die. Floofed to death by a Floof Monster.

Almost invariably people like this have a crippling porn addiction and refuse to believe that they’re the ones with the problem. They delude themselves into believing that if the porn just didn’t exist that there wouldn’t be a problem anymore.
There’s not a lot of rhyme or reason to what games these dipshits call “Woke” really. It basically amounts to “I don’t like the game,” for a lot of them honestly. I’ve seen several games that you’d think for sure have gotta be woke that they say are fine and others with way less woke elements that they’ll say it Woke Trash.
That feel when you can’t remember where you put a thing that you specifically put away to not lose it, but you can remember the exact location down to the millimeter of a thing you saw once a month ago.
Eh, depends on the person. I’m ace and don’t really feel it mentally but my body will respond to things so I generally just find it to be an inconvenience. Though sometimes my partner and I get a good laugh about it because I’ll not realize it sometimes and she’ll notice before me.
It’s just another form of taboo for the euphemism treadmill honestly. Like there was a time that what a lot of people now know as the r-slur was a term to try to destigmatize those conditions. When that was the polite and civilized way to refer to someone with developmental or intellectual disabilities. This is just a taboo created top down rather than bottom up.
Idk I read it as her mocking the guy through her lawyer. Kinda like “I didn’t think I needed to disclose because I thought ‘you could always tell’ and I wasn’t exactly trying to hide it. I didn’t really think I could if I tried.” But that might be because I tend to read this kind of stuff as if it’s being said by James Spader as Alan Shore.
