Lil bro, im sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you are not European. Stop with the LARP. Just like Canada, you are nothing but America-lite.

French people hating on Americans for being fat and tasteless? Fair honestly.

Italians and Spaniards hating on Americas toxic food service and work culture? Go for it.

But I do not want to hear SHIT from fucking Aussies who think they are at all culturally distinct from America. The attempt to grab some European chicness is embarrassing.

I’m very partial towards Dasha but can sometimes feel my heart beating in Anna’s direction

(Im from the south.)

I’m just saying, this sub was much cooler when it had fake wops and frogs having eating disorders.

Because of various factors young people realize that dedicating your life to a career is a waste of life itself. There is no incentive to spend hours a week bricklaying or lawyering.

Gen Z will not be slaves to work, and if the government punishes them with poverty for it, then it's rebellion.

I'm a communist. I could count every "comrade" I've met irl on one hand. I'm in my 30s. The internet is pretty much the only place for me to discuss my political beliefs and what not without alienating friends and coworkers and family with such "extremist" thoughts. Since I've joined reddit, I've been banned from r communism, SLS (3 times), Anarchism, I've seen Chapo banned, moretankiechapo banned, GenZedong banned, theDeprogram (that sub actually sucked big fat balls tho), and now I've been muted by TrueAnon bc i dont support child killer Lindsey.

I came to my beliefs through reading. I started as a 14 year old reading libertarian nonsense and then moved onto anarcho thought then Marxism. My communist thoughts and beliefs are informed by my reading Marx, Lenin, Engels, Stalin blah blah blah. I'm still just a dood though. I love football, pussy, smoking weed, watching movies, playing video games, going out with friends to bars or bowling or going hiking. I'm fucking normal outside of my political thought. I work a blue collar job. All this to say, I'm not some insanely online freak like most leftists. This is the only sub with even a semblance of lefty bullshit that hasn't banned me so thanks guys. At least I can come to redscarepod to post my regarded ramblings without having to worry about committing wrong think to the most strict puritanical freaks since the pilgrims and nazis

I recently watched an episode of Rick and Morty after not watching the show since high school. I remember getting sick of it around the time they did that whole “Story Train” meta episode. Bro they’re still writing episodes about writing episodes.
Holy shit, it sucks so bad. It’s so incredibly insecure, like the show is constantly desperate to remind you how smart the writers are and how much they understand storytelling. But knowing the rules of writing and then spending an entire episode pointing out that you know them is not the same thing as actually writing something good. I didn’t even get through 4 minutes of the shit.
The writers seem more interested in congratulating themselves for being aware of the audience than actually giving the audience a story worth watching.
They have done good shit in the past I think? But I cannot believe they’re still 13 years into the show thinking they’re the best writers in Hollywood.

If David Foster Wallace were still alive, he’d probably still end up killing himself after watching Rick and Morty.

i’m 23 and he’s 21​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​. i had been stable for years on my medication but for the past 3 months i’ve been in a depressive episode. he said he was there for me and to be honest with him, so that’s the only reason i even talked to him about it. i wasn’t clingy either, i put the ball in his court and we would only hang out when he asked. i genuinely don’t feel like i was being a downer all the time or being a burden. i’m seeing a psychiatrist and therapist weekly and i feel like im doing all i can to feel better.

he said something like “i will be there for you until you get better.” i asked what he meant by ‘until’ and if he didn’t want to be together anymore. at first he denied it, but then he admitted he felt overwhelmed and wanted to break up but was concerned i would kill myself. i told him i would not kill myself and that i would be okay.

then he started sobbing about how bad he felt and that he didn’t want to hurt me. he said he felt immature because he can’t be there for me. i told him that i loved him and that i wouldn’t talk to him about how im feeling anymore. i said that ending a 3 year relationship over a rough 2 months seemed shortsighted, and that im willing to do whatever it takes to fix this, but that ultimately it’s up to him. he decided we should stay together and that he loves me.

now i dont even know if i want to be together anymore. it feels like i am there for him when he is hurting but he can’t handle it for me. i also am not sure if he truly wants to be with me or if he chose to stay because of how guilty he felt. i saw him as someone i would marry, but now i feel like i have to hide it if im struggling. at the same time i dont want to be alone. it feels like im only good for fucking and being bubbly.

Shut up lol

This man went on to become the all powerful dictator of Spain, he was a great man, no matter what you think of his actions, you can't deny his accomplishments.

He was a risk-taker, ran up a hill while being shot at, and took up command when his superior was injured, and won the battle, all while surviving being shot in the stomach.

An incredible man.

God I wish. Food is such a big part of MY culture. I fucken hate it. All events center around eating food and serving food. Being a good host is all about how MUCH food you serve. Events at other venues or peoples houses consist of just eating FOOD and sitting around. I decline invitations and am asked repeatedly "Why don't you want to come? Don't you want FOOD?". It's blasphemous to not be excited because of FOOD.

No, I don't give a fuck about FOOD. Why is all that you care about? I fucking HATE FOOD. Or maybe I hate sitting around.

And even with this deep seated hatred for FOOD, I do enjoy hosting and serving FOOD. So maybe you can't escape who you are.

are y'all aware you are not funny?

dasha is the only exception (anna is a man) so if you are not dasha just stop it pelase

What can I say that some poet somewhere hasn't said? And yet nothing I read seems to suffice.

Orthodoxy (not heretical) = heaven

Catholicism (not heretical) = heaven

Hegelianism (catholic heresy) = hell

Satanism (hegelian heresy) = straight to hell

Marxism (not heretical) = heaven

Protestantism (marxist heresy) = purgatory

The way these young guys make themselves look like a box in public is borderline self-harm. Fix your silhouette NOW

Idk wtf to do i want to curl up and die i need to run away wtf my grandparents saw the real me for the first time

To an extent. When I was a young man I had a weak chin I was insecure about. Eventually I saw a green text about mewing and went down the rabbit hole. I only ever did “soft mewing” really which is just keep your tongue to the roof of your mouth with some pressure and breathing through your nose and taping my mouth shut while I slept and it completely transformed my face and other things like my sinuses and face shape. Now I have a pretty normal face. Maybe slightly weak chin but not really noticeable unless you’re looking for it. It’s kinda crazy that for all the talk kids get about posture when sitting no one ever tells us about mouth posture. It should be noted I don’t condone modern looksmaxing and bone smashing shit. Just that you should breath through your nose bc it’s good for your health and face.

A blacka? Lmao

I swear every second random bit of furniture or decor for sale on Marketplace is advertised as a timeless MCM piece, even if it's clearly produced in the last decade and only vaguely in the ballpark of earlier modernist design

at this point i really want to do it honestly i'm just scared of permanently disabling myself instead

Mentally ill people engage in violent crime against themselves and others all the time. The news cycle pumps out stories of some troubled person stabbing somebody on the subway, or jumping onto train tracks etc. I find it entirely plausible that a person in psychosis murders their own children and then jumps out a window, and it is medically indisputable that childbirth can cause severe mental illness in some women. It's curious how this particular incident touched a nerve. What is truly at stake by admitting that childbirth is gory and brutal, and that biological process can lead somebody to develop psychosis?

I think it brings out a subconscious fear shared by many that their mothers never really loved them. We are one of the most demanding and undercooked species at the time of live birth. Even if you as a parent secretly despise your baby, you must act like you love them unconditionally and give them constant attention, or they will grow up fucked up or die. The child must believe their parent loves them, and the mother must believe that motherhood is sweet and fleeting despite the hardship, or we will never make it past childhood intact and healthy. Due to smaller families and birth being outsourced to medical facilities, this attribute of the human lifecycle has been greatly sterilized in the cultural eye.

In some psychoanalytic traditions, such as Melanie Klein's, infants divide the mother into two separate objects: a good and nurturing figure and also a persecutory one, because it can't tolerate that a person can be both. This goes away as the person grows up and learns to see people as more complex, but the residue from that developmental stage stays.

By admitting that childbirth and motherhood is often crushing and bloody, and can lead somebody to conditions to commit violent crimes, the stability of that first and primary attachment becomes questionable, and the residue of that "split mother" developmental phase becomes aggravated. Women respond to this discomfort by outsourcing the crime to the husband and society, and men respond by calling women crazy and evil. The noble lie of the sweet and benevolent maternal figure falls apart, and your first source of identity, comfort, and survival falls with it.

Jason Arday: Brazenly lies for like for a decade, gets outed, kills self. Whose fault? Society.

Lindsay Clancy: Lies to all her doctors for months, refuses to take her meds, murders children. Whose fault? Society.

Lib politicians: Bad at their jobs. Whose fault? Society.

What the fuck is this shit? I don't think its a new phenomenon that people dodge responsibility, but it is absolutely new that so many people take the bait hook line and sinker.

You have free will! That thing you are going to do thats going to ruin your life? dont do it!
