I was living pretty much entirely anger-free until 2 things happened:

• I started working at my job, where I was hired for my expertise and yet I am frequently interrupted mid-sentence, disrespected, or told to do things in ways that defy the foundations of my entire discipline (before anyone tells me to quit, I can't, because of immigration-related reasons)
• One of my friends has fallen down the alt-right/X/Musk fanboyism pipeline and just about everything he rants is uninformed, reactionary, and rage-inducing. He spends too much of his time being angry about problems that don't exist and spreads that anger everywhere

Saying that, I am autistic and often struggle to distinguish between anger, frustration, feeling hurt, and even sadness. I can isolate depression as a feeling fairly reliably though, because that is more numb and less passionate.

Neck tie, if it were a bit bigger.

Agreeing with your summary of his actions and calling him cringey are not mutually exclusive

Good god, I am so tired of hearing about this cringey edge lord.

FWIW I am trans and I 100% agree with you. Been thinking about making an account on another instance, just not sure which yet.

Not OP, but there are at least 2 things going on here:

The first part is that the Jewish person is effectively treating this like an inside joke, where someone might not find it funny unless they were present in the situation that the joke references.

The second part to the ‘God not being there’ bit (which is what actually makes it funny imho) is basically saying that the holocaust was so horrible that God was clearly someplace else/asleep/absent to allow something like that to happen under his watch.

Eh... I know this is a meme sub, but this undermines any arguments to be made about real problems with healthcare systems by just... not being accurate.

If you need stitches in the UK, that's an A&E (ER for my North American friends) sort of ordeal, and yeah, you won't be seen immediately because the system is badly managed and overwhelmed. You'll have to wait several hours (unless you're bleeding out/at risk of death, in which case you'll be seen quickly), not 43 months ffs.

That said, anything that's non-urgent can take a few months. The only exceptions to this are 1) mental health, where you're looking at several months for the waitlist almost irrespective of severity, and 2) gender-affirming care, where you won't be seen for well in excess of 5 years, which at this rate & in this political climate (TERF island), is likely to outlast the NHS gender clinics themselves. Private is still an option for both of these branches of healthcare, but it's expensive for sure.

Damn, you sure showed me the light... Do you not realise how self-righteous this sounds?

I guess being against genocide is just being one of the sheeple.

Yep. Also calling it the“Israel-Hamas war” is propaganda. Makes it sound like the only people dying in Palestine are Hamas soldiers, which is obviously nowhere near the truth.

Centrists are literally just anti-opinion and spineless.

Free Palestine.

Ah yes, everybody has that one drawer to keep pies in.

I've come back to this after sleeping to check; has anyone figured out what the hell this means?

What does this even mean
