You can’t be a good anything and be a landlord

A good parasite?

Yes! It premiered last night, first 2 episodes were brilliant, and I'm trying really hard not to binge the rest so that I can make it last

Those lyrics hit far too close to home right now..

I am sooooo fucking sick and tired of people touting out that tired cliché to defend capitalists..

I think instead we should start saying "don't let the manipulation by their benefactors stand in the way of the reality of the systems they maintain".

I doubt anyone is expecting perfection at this point, I know I'm not (it being a literal impossibility and all), but them pretending to be "good" and you buying it, doesn't actually make it any good at all (as I said - it's just giving them the space to continue as they are for a fee that they will never pay, their trapped customers will).

Defending this bullshit as the good we should be happy to compromise for serves no one but the people running the oil companies (and the politicians they pay to ensure such legislation has no legs).

You are playing their game, and supporting their team, bathing in the placation of their greenwashing and letting them get away with it. That is what's in the way of good.

So they can pay a relative pittance to keep chugging along uninterrupted, and pass the cost on to the consumer.
Yeah, that'll fix things...

I know perfectly well what space I'm in, and if the NT encroaching on it didn't realise (and they did, because they were making excuses for themselves from the get go) them coming from /all would only excuse the first comment, not the rest of the thread where they make it clear that they don't care that they're talking over ND's in our own space.

And yeah, I thought it was a no-brainer that actively reading social media makes it harder to fall asleep while doing so, but these days I’m not so sure how common this “common sense” is.

And there it is.

The NT has ridden in on their white horse to teach all us NDs about their "common sense" that is clearly what we're lacking..

What would we do without you, oh great neurotypical??? /S

Lmfao, that's a lot of condescending words to say "no, I will absolutely NOT listen to the people whose space I'm encroaching on and try to learn about their experience and do better for their benefit (or simply walk away), I WILL continue to always centre myself, because that's all I care about".

I’ve been on the receiving end of righteous anger for giving neurotypical advice before

And yet the thought to, you know, just fucking not never seems to have crossed your mind..

The "experience I'm facing" that is causing me "anger" is you and your behaviour, no amount of twisting things to justify it to yourself changes that, the least you can do is take some accountability (lmfao, as if.. This entire thread is absolutely textbook NT behaviour, including the framing me as "emotional" and yourself as "logical", and you've already made it clear that you don't give a shit about the impact of your own actions).

Sorry it came across the way it did. I’ll try to be more careful about it in the future, assuming I remember.

Fuck your non apology and your insistent on there being a next time for you to be "careful about it" - you don't need to "be careful", what you need is to have some respect for spaces that aren't for you and the people they are for, and resist your desperate need to insert yourself and your unsolicited unhelpful and uninformed opinions absolutely everywhere.

I thought expressing a bit of solidarity

TIL solidarity means privileged people talking over the experiences of marginalise people in their own space 🙄

you’re always free to walk away.

Yeah, and die of starvation or exposure, which ever comes first..
Maybe take a look around at the reality most people face before giving such out of touch advice..

made a pretty weird video about autism, using the fact that his son has it as like qualification for him to talk about it. folks with autism tried to talk to him about the problematic nature of the video in the comments, and he just blocked them.

So typical Autism Parent™ then lol it's like they can't help but make it about themselves.. 🙄

I'm autistic and I'm the same but for me it's less about going a minute without stimulation, more about not wanting to be alone with my thoughts because they're constant and horrible at best.

Without my tv and pc always on around me (and weed) I don't think I could sleep at all (pc to scroll/read till my eyes get sleepy, and tv to give my brain external conversation to focus on rather than the one going on in my brain). Even then it's a struggle, but I'm still 100% more likely to get some sleep with these things on, than I am without (I don't consider crying for several hours in either frustration or deep despair until my eyes can't stay open anymore a good enough alternative ¯\(ツ)/¯).
