This reminds me of a article i read about people in debt and how they got out of debt. It was about a couple who's combined income was around $175k Canadian a year, she was a dentist and he killed people will bullshit cures (Homeopath) . They were around 300k in debt because they not only owned an home in an upscale Vancouver neighbourhood but also owned a condo in Fort Meyers Florida that they lived in from Jan to March, shutting their businesses down.

Somehow this was an cautionary tale, becuase everyone who's in debt just did dumb things like buy a half million dollar condo when they were still paying off a 2 million dollar house, and removed 3 months worth of income from their budget just so they wouldn't be cold. There was also a story about a guy in Calgary who had an mini rink build into the basement of his mcManson and refused to not use it all year around, causing his power bills to be astronomical. People always act like this is what all the people who are in debt are from. It's not they're in debt from just trying to live, or schooling or anything that's just life. Nope its because they spend their money on expensive luxuries.

I mean, there are people who do, but you know they are far from the representation of the majority of people in debt. It's always their fault, not someone elses! You don't want to be poor? Go get a better job! Don't have the skills to get a better job? Go back to school! and it becomes an endless cycle of blaming people.

Been a while since we drug this out, I think it's about that time.

Why do white conservatives consistently pass around false stories where their wives and daughters are raped by blacks, transwomen, and now Syrian refugees? If I were a white woman, I'd be insulted that people were subjugating minorities out of "concern" for my "safety."

My veteran-turned-truck-driver friend (an extremely specific but completely valid demographic who more often than not turn into right-wing shitheads) posted this one and has a tendency to post anything ARE TROOPS without bothering to fact-check or even notice if it's stupid, so there's a couple of us that have started either calling him out or just posting "quit posting this poo poo" every time he does it. To his credit, he's a good dude that will almost always admit he's wrong once presented with actual arguments against whatever kneejerk reactionary poo poo he posted, so really it's more "oh god, what do we have to call Izzy out on today" than "goddammit Izzy get off my facebook feed".

It's similar to the "I hate other girls, I just want to be one of the guys" mentality. It doesn't necessarily mean that, it's just people being people and trying to escape or recover from a lovely friendship or similar at the time. The difference is you don't see women in their 40s+ saying they hate other women generally. I mean I'm sure it exists but not to the same extent

I was one of those "I HATE GIRLS" girls from like 15-25 or so but that was mostly bailing at full speed from an all-girls Catholic school after sophomore year and taking a hard right into "90% of my best friends are guys (and they all want to sleep with me because duh, they're teenagers)" territory. Rebellion against being forced to associate with nothing but girls + being a dumb hormonal Young Person obsessed with sex.

Then I had an actual good relationship and good friendships with some women and calmed the gently caress down and don't bitch about other women anymore because I'm 35 and too old for petty bullshit. Unfortunately I do know quite a few 35+ women who are still in the "other women are catty and petty and stupid" mentality, but they're the minority. It's not that they don't exist, it's that they never grew up and realized that "other women" aren't a hivemind composed of makeup and mall trips.

Asperger's has not actually been a thing for three years now, as of the DSM-V in May '13 :v:

I know. :v: I'm a 'sperg and I just think it's more fun to say, and more evocative of that particular flavor of autism than just saying "mild autism". The 'sperg has a connotation of "relatively normal person who just can't stop loving talking sometimes, probably has a couple of weird obsessions, and has trouble getting jokes" while if you say you're autistic you have to have a whole conversation about exactly how autistic you are with people who don't actually know anything about autism.

So what causes this? Loneliness?

Loneliness and lack of proper social development as preteens/teenagers (and probably some autism). My brother has...I guess the internet would call it a tulpa, but I've always just said "imaginary friend", that he created out of whole cloth when he was hopelessly lonely and first discovering girls at around 13-14. She served as best friend, imaginary girlfriend and his "purpose" in life when he had none of the above, and for whatever reason, he never grew out of it. He didn't tell me about her until a few years later, and she was so cemented in his mind and his personality at that point that even the thought of getting rid of her made him panic, since he didn't know who to be without her. Largely because of her (and being kind of an enormous nerd in general) he didn't have a real girlfriend until 26, and even at 31 now he's still clinging to the vestiges of her because he doesn't know how else to find meaning in his life. I'm one of two people in the world that know how deep the rabbit hole has gotten with her, most people just think he's dorky as poo poo and draws a lot of pictures of the same girl. I suspect his case isn't unique at all; a lot of these kind of kids end up putting their "tulpa"/ideal woman/imaginary friend on such an enormous pedestal that real life and real relationships fall by the wayside. It's really depressing if you think about it for too long.

e: for reference, he's possibly somewhere on the Asperger's end of the spectrum and a functioning alcoholic but otherwise incredibly smart, has a pretty normal if nerdy circle of friends, and isn't terribly unfortunate-looking, so we're not talking someone with major mental disorders or anything.

I only watched some of the early ones, and although I think they weren't very good, they were miles ahead of anything I've seen a university lecturer do, because university lecturers absolutely suck at presentation. Lectures are the worst. They are boring to sit through no matter how interesting you find the subject, because no one ever teaches lecturers how to effectively present their material.

What does that even mean?

I watched some of her videos back when she was first gaining notoriety and that was my big problem with them. What she says is so basic and uncontroversial that I find her videos completely pointless to watch because I feel like it's someone spending ten minutes trying to convince me that the sky is blue. I loving know, why are you doing this?

If you get nothing from Anita's videos you are probably not the target audience. It's not really preaching to the choir, it's presenting an incredibly simplified version of "hey idk if you knew but the sky is blue" to people that will scream on twitter that the sky is, in fact, red, and anyone trying to tell them otherwise is an islamocommienazi.
