From Main Klickpin…

I hate that any time I go into a new job thinkiing I'll be able to look like picrel but then either the dress code sucks, or I end up being too tired to put in effort at all.
it's been a month and I'm still hopping from job to a job hoping to find a somewhat balanced one because it's either too exhausting, too boring, or the uniform sucks, I know that's a silly reason to turn down a job tho
But since most jobs pay about the same, why would I stay at one where you can't even look cute

I feel like such a bitter loser. I went to Ikea last weekend to pick up a skillet and got there when it was full of happy younger couples picking out kitchenware, holding hands and shit. I just felt depressed for the rest of the day.

i’ve become pretty annoyed lately with how emotionally manipulative modern politics is. i generally wish there were forms of political content that were more academic, evidence-based, and did not resort to emotional manipulation. beyond politics, i’ve become aware of how emotional coercion is used in everyday conversation, both by myself, and other people.
there’s this trend of people ragebaiting others that, for a while, got on my nerves. i never really understood the point of spreading pointless conflict. but recently i realized that i myself tend to weaponize shame when others views did not align with my own moral values. the more i thought about it, the more i realized how this was produced out of my own desire to control others out of the belief it would protect my own interests. it was selfish in that sense and only really led to my own unhappiness. at the end of the day you can never really control other people’s thoughts and behaviors, and even if you could, that’s not really “them” so much as a reflection of your own authoritarian impulses.
i feel a rough rule for discerning between people who do respect your emotional autonomy and who don't is as follows: if you enter a conversation with a person emotionally stable, and leave it feeling ashamed, exhausted, pulled into conflict that didn’t initially involve you, or angry, especially in the form that leads you to feeling mobilized against others—all without progressing your views in some way that is productive—you are likely dealing with someone who is being emotionally coercive / is not respecting your emotional autonomy.
i generally feel like the world would be better if everyone just put a bit more effort into controlling impulses to emotionally manipulate. again, you can’t control others, but you can find people who get it and don’t resort to these tactics.
