  • Not getting a mind that doesnt get minds hah yea I understand… however we Demi’s have spent our lives making room for those sitting at full speed at the one side of the spectrum. Sometimes even faced pressured into sexual situations when we weren’t totally on board just cuz someone else was getting upset we aren’t ’playing along’ by the rules all set by them. We understand their urges because we’ve had it rudely shoved in our faces. We’ve had to sit in the background while someone makes up bullshit like ‘men are like this women are like that’ and talk like sex is the one and only goal all people have even if it’s your best friend. Or reducing all complex human problems to ‘you just need to get laid’ bullshit.

    It’s the apathetic rudeness I don’t get. Theyve taken all the air in the room for themselves.


  • Try explaining how this works to a full sexual on a dating app. You’d think you had shot their animal companion with the given reaction.

    I managed to explain this to family members who took it upon themselves to ‘educate’ me on dating.

    only one family member got it cuz they are the same. Meanwhile the others gave me odd looks and stares and continued to attempt to lecture me how dating works. Like I get it. You gonna just bang whatever moves cuz ‘nature’. Maybe widen your scope a bit that others are not like you. But also maybe we need to talk about how consent works.










  • What you’re complaining about seems to just be what every generation has done on their first job. This isn’t a genz thing. This is how most people act on their first job until they learn how schedules work not just for them but for everyone to sync up. Their first time stepping out side of their school or family home.

    Cuz that’s also part of your job as a boss who trains staff to succeed: you have to also interact with these interns and teach them this. You do have to answer these stupid questions. Someone did it for you on your first job, and if you think they didnt: think again. Every generation has the entitled phase of when they first step out of the house and face the world who don’t kiss their asses like their parents did.

    I just don’t get this generational ageism fight. It’s a stupid argument that gets us no where. It’s just about patting the self on the back at someone else’s expense.

    No generation escaped going through this asshole phase. Personally if the new generation does come up with a better way to set schedules, there’s nothing wrong with room to improve. We can all benefit from improvement. Lots of places run on outdated, exclusive rules that can definitely afford improvement.


  • Smoogs@lemmy.worldtoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.worldIs the "Gen z stare" a real thing?

    That’s not genz thing. That’s the hot potato method of where you drop the potato on the ground and don’t play the games the sociopath wants to play.

    This is a more widely used strategy now that mental therapy is more openly discussed. And the best way to win the game with a narcissist/sociopath is to not play their game. in the older days this was done in form of cutting contact. Don’t take their calls. Leave. Don’t interact.

    Deadpan stare is a form of this as visual blocking.

    Before the 80s so many people thought ‘I can change him!’ And after the 80s there were so many books about living loving a narcissist and how you can’t change him.

    Now we just have the deadpan stare. And so many hack comedians from yesterday liken it to ‘cancel culture’ or not having a sense of humour cuz they can’t deal with being irrelevant because of their unchecked hatred landing flat







  • I think the main takeaway here is that alpine divorce is an intent to murder. And yeh, it’s sexism. Not exactly in the way you’re putting it tho.

    When they abandoned First Nations in Saskatchewan, and one made it back alive to tell people what was happening just like this woman is, the takeaway wasn’t that hey , gee, ya know they can survive being abandoned …it’s that they were abandoned to begin with WITH A VERY SPECIFIC INTENT TO DIE OUT THERE.

    I think you not noticing that is the overall disgusting misogyny that society regularly overlooks and minimizes women’s right to life and safety should be considered not just that she can do it herself it’s that no one gives a shit if there was a chance she didn’t survive and how.

    This shouldn’t be dismissed or minimized.
