I think both are true. And the people in Group A can’t protect you from the people in Group B But in my own experience, the people in Group B (the “eww cringe” group) are an impossible target. They’re cruel but they’ll never turn around. They can’t be pleased. Don’t chase their approval, imo

I see "be weird! Be yourself!! There'll always be people who understand you!" In equal measure to "ew what the fuck lol, cringe, that's so embarrassing. Screenshotted for a later call out" these days and anyone who manages to go beyond anything normie is extremely brave

regarding the standing ovation: worth remembering that nazis took inspiration from the US, and the US didn't care about the developing Holocaust, while companies here worked with Nazis. The US only joined the war because of pacific theater, imperial tensions, Pearl Harbor

KOSA will go to the House if (when) it passes the Senate so I just e-mailed my rep and brought up, among other things, the Crowdstrike thing. Age verification would require a new type of software that would have to be massively deployed across the Internet -- sounds bad, actually!!!

If you can afford it, I highly recommend budgeting money ($20-50) for morale stuff like emergency takeout, cleaning services, dog daycare, pastries, a videogame, a premium ingredient at the grocery store, etc — the things that make life easier and lower the urge to yeet yourself into a river
