can a person really be bad at business if business is so bad at people?

it’s not that old woman’s fault that her local fabric store can’t afford rent anymore, it’s the property management company (landlord)’s fault for raising the rent with no regard for the community it destroys. it’s the textile supplier’s fault for lowering the quality of their products to increase profit. it’s the shareholders’ faults for pressuring the property management company and the textile supplier to meet infinite and unwavering profit goals. it’s corporations’ faults for lobbying against all business regulations, including those which would affect the act of lobbying itself. it’s our governmental representatives’ faults for voting against regulations due to these bribes. it’s founding members of the government’s faults for setting the economic system up in a way that incentivizes individual greed. it’s the Dutch East India Company’s fault for setting that example in the first place, and just like that we can trace it ALL BACK TO SLAVERY AND COLONIALISM AGAIN AND I AM GOING TO BOIL MYSELF ALIVE UNTIL MY SKIN SPLITS LIKE A HOTDOG

chell nutting in that robot and breaking the entire fucking facility

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

there's a really fun balance when you know someone has a crush on you where you can tease them for having a crush on you without letting them know you know they have a crush on you. this only works because people who have crushes will analyze everything you say but not very well. anyway, i love playing with my food.

Gosh, that's so perfect. Your friend is actually the only one who is engaging with this post correctly. Supersedes my original intent, even. Sorry, I bow to her wisdom here. Tell your friend I hope she's having fun!

what if you died in the 13th century BC and when your soul is weighed they dock you points for squandering your potential and never fulfilling your life's true calling (roblox vtuber)

I simply must intentionally misread this as an ancient proverb attributed to wise scholar from an era long past, Roblox Vtuber

i personally really like the ending.

it shows how recovery isn’t linear, that relapses happen, that you can’t “cure” mental illness, but you can learn to live with it.

you learn to live with it, and when you do backslide, the people who love you will stick around and help you out when you’re ready, even when you’ve reached darker lows than ever before.

it’s real, and it’s painful, but it’s hopeful, too, because while those dark voices don’t go away, you learn to not listen to them.

i love the way the ending changes the perspective on the rest of the story. at the start, the text treated mental health struggles as a nemesis to be fought and killed, an invasive villain with nothing but evil keeping it going. but when clancy is revealed to have been nico’s successor all along, it reframes the whole perspective of the battle allegory and what mental struggles are in the context of our lives. it is your brain fighting against itself, and it’s a kind of evil that has a backstory. your negative self-talk is largely a response to trauma. your brain is desperate to not feel pain, and it’s trying all the worst, most misguided ways to get you there. and most importantly, as clancy is one with blurryface, you are your brain. “killing your mind” or killing nico is its own form of self-harm, and can make you lose sight of the bigger picture: that your demons can be understood, and most importantly they are capable of understanding you, because they come from somewhere within yourself. somewhere that has been hurt and is scared and wants to stop the pain by any means necessary. when you know why you’re hurting yourself, inside and/or outside, you can start the work to truly dismantle the framework causing your subconscious to do it in the first place. the only way to stop blurryface is to realize that he is a part of you. the only way to break the cycle is to turn him against the system of vialism, to be kind with your demons and help them understand why it’s good for you to be alive. blurryface is more than just an evil force, he’s also fundamentally human, and humans can change for the better.
