Not sure what your connection to it is, but that linked site looks like 100% generative AI nonsense, text, image, and site itself. Don't waste people's spoons on garbage.

He thought of himself as being hyperlogical, but those two things are not at all mutually exclusive, certainly.
He was the kind of autistic man (and I'm not blaming it on the autism, I'm autistic myself) who channeled his mysogyny through and then used the autism as a shield against unpacking it.

An old aquaintance of mine once told me that her husband outright said to her that tears were manipulation.
I hope he's her ex now.

Just think, always think, before running off easy scapegoats.
And even if a person dangling over a cliff really is holding onto a poison snake, you damn well better throw them a real rope before killing it.

Just don't let this be the new discourse. Things suck enough as it is. Don't make it harder for ppl just trying to do their best and don't judge them for being under the grip of whatever. You don't know. They might not know.
And it's a hair away from the same demonization of prescribed ADHD meds.

You know, one of the groups whose access to diagnoses and medication via the medical establishment is being thoroughly demonized, stigmatized, gatekept, and attacked and targeted for elimination.
So. Just. Don't be an ass about how ppl self-medicate when actual care is difficult or impossible.

Literally my only concern about it is how to convey that unconditional acceptance without trivializing it or sounding like I'm pressuring them to go back.
And not like worried worried about, just mindful of.

I still can't listen to soft new-age piano (like they had on all those seminary and ftsoy cds) without heading into one, so more power to you.

Whenever I think on hope, I remember an old piece of LotR meta from tumblr on the importance of Estel, or irrational hope, and rarely fail to feel better.

Something wearing a weirdly smooth human skin that can't smile right is trying to get me to go somewhere in Dublin.
That's how horror stories involving the fey start.

We have one True Bastard and one that's right at the corner of Distinguished Baby and Cat. Used to have a True Baby and I'll miss her forever.

I started homeschooling because the first year of attempted online learning was so bad for my kids.
I'm still doing it because still, STILL, nobody is doing anything to keep the air clean and I can't fight that fight alone.

And here I though it was, "nobody else is gonna clean up the poop."

This does feel directly downstream from all the ppl I grew up with who'd swear (with a "flip" or "fetch") up down and sideways that soul-dead parodies of pop media were the better versions just because they were "faith affirming."

If you had any clear idea of how to turn that feeling into anything useful, I assume you'd have said so by now.
Since you have no actual helpful ideas, I'm going to spend my attention elsewhere and encourage others to do the same.

If she's not acknowledging error and seeking to make change and restitution, what exactly is the point?
THAT is repentance. It is action. Is she DOING anything besides begging to still be seen as a good person?
That is the ONLY point.

Why are those mutually exclusive? Do you have some grand master plan you're not sharing with the class? Because I'm just hearing, "Maybe if we just be nice to them they'll finally be nice to us back," and buddy, where have YOU been this past decade?

What they want is to not be seen as the kinds of people who would vote for horrible things. If they can get without changing anything, they'll be perfectly happy feeling like good people while still voting for horrible things.

What good does it do not to point it out? To let them pretend they didn't actually make a really bad choice, couldn't have known better, and don't need to change the things in their thinking and worldview that got them there?

If they're not saying "I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm working on myself to fix the things that let me make that choice, and I'm showing up to fight against this shit now," I DO NOT CARE.

Now I'm imaging a running gag where Gambit and Nightcrawler see that video and then keep concocting increasingly convoluted excuses to ask Cyclops to slap their chicken.
Uh oh, power's out, how to do we make gumbo now?

There's also the very thinly veiled "art is stupid, just eat it" message in there for an AI product as well.
I hate that commercial.
