I wanted to get him a leg up in a gaming channel, if that is what he wanted to do. Because Im not emotionally capable of dealing with people on the internet. Sounds like he might be too sensitive as well.

I don't care if he gives away my ideas and dreams, because he hates me now. I fell asleep when, he was being harassed. I was up all night upset.

I don't really know how you guys hope, to ever monetize a site that is this exclusive.

Monetization isn't a goal here

"too sensitive" !?

Is it too sensitive to walk away when people keep spitting in your face or should you just take it all in?

user-inactivated  ·  3152 days ago  ·  link  ·  

No, I shut down that thread became TVC kept attacking him.

Ref has tried to yell at me as a man, in an 8 comment treads, where I also mentioned having a period.

I saw the mold post, before I quit. I decided it was too toxic. I left because I felt bad. I wanted to leave and probably will again soon, don't worry.

Come back!

Im alright, I really don't need the drama. I have stuff to do.

Somebody fuck Ref, so she quits posting 30 hate messages a night, and changes her profile to something else. She seems stressed.

_refugee_  ·  3152 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Oh honey. At least "stressed" is a solveable condition.

Yep unfortunately people like me and taco have at least 20 years until we will be treated as people, by uneducated people who know about our illness.

Sorry, If you are offended, that I brought you into this tacocat.

Also you seem to be deeply prejudiced against anyone who might have been to reddit.

_refugee_  ·  3152 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Who, me? Why - sirrah, you cut to the quick.

I am sorry for getting mad at you, but I think you hate me without caring to know anything about me. I was too upset to write anything reasonable.

I deleted my account, because I really didn't want to be blamed for 8bit leaving. I really didn't want to get into how privileged or ignorant, I may or may not be.

The black lives matter movement isn't something, I am in love with. My mother works, in the ER at a trauma, drug rehab, and psychiatric hospital. She had me at 17, and only became a nurse a few years ago. She dealt with repetitive movement injuries, and unfair labor practices at a meatpacking plant, to raise me.

She is much tougher than the young girls she works with, and is often assassinated the most violent and difficult patients. She goes home, with bruises, and bites from alcoholics, too alcohol dependent to go to jail. She saves their lives, and gets beaten up as thanks. Or by people who are arrested repeatedly, but fake chest pain, to avoid jail.

She has someone suing her for malpractice, who says she went out and bought $3,000 dollars worth of crack, just to plant it on him and get him in trouble. Her lawyer says, to put the house she is saving for in my (morally iffy) stepdads name just in case.

The guy was pretending to be passed out, so he didn't have to give a urine sample. His lawyer says that he has PTSD from her telling him to wake up, or she will catheterize him. She needed the analysis of his urine to see what was wrong, and people don't get in trouble for testing positive for drugs at the hospital.

I agree with many parts of the movement, I just think there are innocent people in the way of really safely policing. Medically if someone hits or throws rocks at a police officer too many times, it affects their brain, and ability to use a firearm at the correct time. She treats quite a few officers as well.

Also I do pretty much hate COPs and the drug war. I am a bit more respectful to police after living in Detroit for two years. You really learn what you are missing there. This is part of the reason that, I lam stuck living somewhere that is pretty devoid of smart people to talk to.I really was too upset by the propaganda, I posted against my better judgement to argue any of those points. It's not that I don't think it is unfair or an just that people murdered by racist police.

I really wanted to talk about that it made no sense that the crowd was that mad. It is one thing to protest and physically intimate police, and another to do the same to a crowd of people aligned pretty similarly. I am volunteering caucusing in Iowa, the first state to vote. I wouldn't feel very good if I talked poor people into making sacrifices to make a donation, and the event they paid for was overtaken. Not to mention the hours spent organizing.

Now I feel like the whole thing was a stunt that went just as planned. They probably made so much money this week.

About Reddit, there are feminists on there. There is a subreddit called TrollX, where girls make gifs, to get the link karma the boys deny us, and talk about our problems as women. It is very silly and fun. I also argue about TV shows way too much, but it is hard to find people who are caught up and interested.

Another thing I do on reddit, is talk to other people with schizophrenia. I give compassion and understanding to people, trying to figure out how to move on with their lives. I actually have yet to have anyone on there stalk my posts, or bother me there.

We talk about experiences with bad medication, with people who are gaining weight uncontrollably, who's hair is falling out, sometimes drooling, sweating, and oh so many other unignorable side effects. We also talk about religion and the nature of consciousness.

I don't want to be an activist about this achizophrenia, or make it a cause. Climate change is the most important cause to me personally. I also don't think that this will ever be solved as a social cause, the medical option is so much better. I really don't want to get into my personal experiences of being discriminated against, but it is not easy. There is no dialog of what you can, and can't say that people foaming at the mouth enforcing online. I really hope there never is one.

_refugee_  ·  3151 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Nope. Not bothering to read any of this.

The person wasting my time and energy, my dear, is you. you have provided me many, oh so many, reasons not to want to know any more about you, and none to make me want to. You are a black hole time suck and I have infinite better things to do, from picking my toenails to brushing my hair.

And upon review, I also don't care about any of this shit. It's hardly coherent.

What. On. Earth.

_refugee_  ·  3149 days ago  ·  link  ·  

It's called a lack of linear thought.

user-inactivated  ·  3150 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Can I fix this by saying I am a white piece of shit, and I will never understand being black. I am also very racist, because I don't believe in riots, and I think emergency responders have a difficult very dramatic and unhealthy job.

tla  ·  3149 days ago  ·  link  ·  

No you can fix it by backing off.

user-inactivated  ·  3151 days ago  ·  link  ·  

There is no reason, whatsoever, that every police officer shouldn't wear a camera, at all times. Legislation takes a long time in this country. Setting the world on fire, or calling everyone a racist, waiting for change to happen, is only going to make more people vote against their best interests.

I am decided I was going to eat food from the food bank, instead of getting another job, so I can volunteer and convince people to think differently. Please don't make it any harder.

user-inactivated  ·  3151 days ago  ·  link  ·  

So you are really that willfully ignorant and hateful. Ok well you have fun with that shit. You are wasting your life and energy.

user-inactivated  ·  3150 days ago  ·  link  ·  

There are lots of laws to protect the rights of suspects. Even ones that make people, who should be treating sick babies and dying grandparents, wait hand and foot on people with "chest pains".

The law and technology just haven't caught up.

Hypothetically (not really) my Mom could be living in a lily white town in Iowa, and all those people who attack her are mentally ill. I would still not defend criminals or terrorize people to defend them. Not everyone that disagrees with you is evil.
