    She wanted you, all you had to do was act. She thought you were disinterested because you shuffled away so quickly, so she just continued on to the D&D game she DMs down at the local leftist children’s hospital.

        There are politically aligned hospitals, but they’re not leftist. They’re usually named for some random saint and refuse certain kinds of healthcare to certain kinds of people for religious fundamentalist reasons. Leftist clinics (because they don’t get enough funding to build hospitals) exist, but I guess you disapprove since healthcare has nothing to do with politics, right?

        Side note: The first paramedics in the US were the Freedom House Ambulance Service, an all-black leftist organization that served local majority-black neighborhoods that received slow service from non-medically trained police. They set the standard for paramedics all over the US.

          No? I just didn’t realize there were “political”hospitals, as opposed to regressive and prejudiced laws based around a few motherfucker’s religion being enforced by the state onto hospitals

        I was just trying to make her that much more Lemmy-perfect. Forgot to mention her Star Trek-themed Linux distro and fursuit.

    I’m in a wheelchair. And it feels so dehumanising. Because everyone makes an extra effort to never stare at me. I guess they learnt as kids you don’t stare at disabled people, but it feels like the lesson they internalised is you never look at disabled people. So no one ever looks at me except people I’m talking too. It makes me feel quite invisible.

    Except kids. They always stare so mu h. It’s kinda weird.

      This is a good point actually. I do look at people in wheelchairs since I would want that also.

      And kids, they always stare at me too.

      Dont worry, you picked hard mode this time in the game of life. I think it also gives greater rewards at the end.

      I think the staring is a sign of curiosity. The problem is, our emotionally stunted parents did not teach us how to ask questions and show sympathy which could be a solution to that curiosity.

      I remember parents scolding their children for asking “out of pocket” questions about people that embarrassed the parents, and this resulted in them just suppressing their children’s curiosity about other people and their unique life paths.

    I make it a point to never make eye contact or look in the general direction of people walking the other way near me. But I also feel like if someone was actually into me I would completely miss that, but the chances of anyone being into me are so low anyway.

    No, but I have other things to think about like how soon it’s going to be before the dictator ruining the country I live in is going to actually abolish the constitution and debit his brand of fascism to the world. A stranger’s opinion of my physical appearance ranks somewhere down around “tepid hotdog water dumped down the drain” on my list of concerns.

    I dont know. I just think those girls probably have it so easy that life is even boring. But my girlfriend told me that its not so easy. They often get disliked by other girls because of the competition.

      Spell check that gives you idiotic corrections and no standard on weird behaviours like auto spacing and auto period. So you turn it off and I swear it works in reverse, making correct words wrong so you feel like having it on is the better of two evils.

          currently heliboard for fear of google keylogging me, but there was some point around when swype fizzled out that all touch input methods became inexplicably worse on devices new and old.

          All swipe typing boards became worse apart from gboard which held out for a little while but even that seems worse now even though iirc the actual gesture file that you can take from google and install in heliboard remains unmodified from before the touch input worsening event. Its just as bad in heliboard.

          Regular touch type seems to be worse as well even when making the letters buttons bigger. Regardless of specific keyboard it feels like we have been cursed to get what we type corrected to words that only exist in a dictionary and nobody uses in any english speaking region.
