Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

but its a lot more rare than you might think.

Which is odd because it sounds like the evolution should have favored that.

... maybe I haven't fully explained the extent to which this can be detrimental.

She... she was in tears, at one point, explaining how... this had started happening roughly alongside her going through puberty, and kept getting more severe as she got older... and ... she was now at the point where she was considering dropping out of college.

She'd nearly 4.0'd high school, tons of advanced classes... but she could not focus in college... too much stimulation.

She was having extreme difficulty with tests, she described to me how she basically completely failed one exam because she couldn't stop herself from imagining fucking the professor, in an extremely vivid fantasy, that she was able to walk me through in detail, like, a month or two after this happened.

I said it was legitimately debilating for a reason.

She went from being basically a borderline genius, to being a borderline genius who can't think anymore, can't control her own mind half the time, because her brain keeps randomly, very overwhelmingly, telling her she needs to fuck the nearest person.

She had to entirely rethink her entire lifeplan.

... I would imagine that with that level of severe distraction, and basically a kind of emotional dysregulation, lack of sense of control ... it probably makes sense that its not very common.
