an app that lets you make micropayments to your friends for their emotional labor of listening to you while you talk about your feelings because you view every human relationship as purely transactional

the kind of people who throw 'emotional labor' around like that are 100% the kinds of people who don't understand that emotional work is the word they're looking for because they haven't worked a service job where emotional labor is required.

Thanks, yikes to that. Another data point for my theory that half the reason both like PUA type dudes and the hyperwoke turn into freaks is that they share this habit of restating completely normal human behavior in the weirdest possible terms -- asking "hey, are you busy?" before going off on some poo poo is not the craziest thing in the world if you just put it like a normal person would.

A lot of British people try to pronounce French words in a French way, based on their vague memories of high school French class. That's how you end up with "skawn" instead of scone, and "krasawn" instead of croissant.

This Meyers-Briggs rear end post is hilariously wrong about both what the French pronunciation of scone would be, were it a French word (it's not), and also the attitude of Brits toward saying French words. Listen to them say "filet," "herb," or "valet"

I don't watch Satoshi kon studd bc I had a nervous breakdown complete with hallucinations a few years ago and now his specific brand of hallucinatory dream poo poo upsets me deeply because I spend a non zero amount of time wondering if I'm losing my mind again because I'm worried about it that's my story about paranoia agent

my experience with emotional labor is that one aunt or uncle who comes back in from a cig, sees crayon on the wall and yells "WHO'S IN CHARGE OF HUNTER??"

The problem with that post is that it's in context of a few crowds having designated "free therapist" friends where people just constantly dump everything on them, sometimes to the point where they spend most of their social life time hearing out their pals' issues and comforting them rather than...doing anything else.

Of course then it became framed as a general thing so it legit looks like one could deploy this to anything rather than handling several people who decided to dump a major venting post on your messages app all at once while you're bust with something else.
