It's more nuanced. It's 'this is a social construct, therefore I can just decide whether I want to accept it, and I dont'

With the added /s it still reads like you're using an example to explain why things shouldn't be rejected based on them being social constructs. The edit just reads like you're smug about it. If that's not what you're saying, can you explain what you mean?
Makes sense that if your political views include that whether you deserve to stay alive is tied to how much value you create for shareholders, you spend less time nurturing your creativity.
Austrian rail wanted a higher speed line through most of the country. Iirc the plan was to extend it to Zürich-Budapest eventually. Only problem was a few dozen km of the line goes through Germany and they didn't want the higher speed tracks installed. Like, Austrian rail was going to pay for them. They just didn't want noise. It's unfortunately a big enough portion of the line that it made it not worthwhile.
Not accepting every social construct isn't the same as rejecting every social construct.
Weird is such a nondescript word anyway. Stopped using it to describe myself years ago. Like, OP, do you mean you have niche interests? Uncommon kinks? Introverted? I assure you, there's potential partners for any of those that would like you more for that, not less.
I'm also chronically ill, and it doesn't make me undatable or a burden on my partner. I'm lovable and I'm enough, and so are you.
Valid to not care!
I have fun with my nails, I don't see them as expected/socially required maintenance. In my field it's actually seen as less professional to have long nails, especially in noticable polish. I get excited when I get to work from home for a week because that means I can go crazy with nails and makeup.
I read the first line and was like, yeah, same here, that seems way too long. We do about 5, mid-late November to 26/12/, then the decorations kinda stay but the celebrations and music stop. Then I read the rest. I'm so sorry.
China praise is so puzzling. Chinese people aren't locked in the way north Koreans are. They can, and do, leave the country. And then, they can tell you about china. Have they met someone who grew up in china irl? I have, and it's made me all the more lib-dem socialist.
Microwaving some soy milk and stirring in some powder isn't exactly 'make'
Not at all. The genocide isn't new, it's built into the very fabric of modern Israel. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2001/may/31/londonreviewofbooks

Not to mention the stigma, especially from unrelated doctors who see the med in your file.

A red button. Image says: 'Would you press the button?' [results of pressing the button:] there exists a pill that makes your disability a LOT less debilitating BUT it's near-impossible to get because the non-disabled enjoy taking the pill for fun and the government doesn't want them to.
I know, not all omnis. But this is based on personal experience.
Two part meme. Part one is a crying young person who looks like they're desperate to get someone to understand something. Caption: 'Me explaining why I can walk fast and run but can't stand or walk slowly well'. Part two is a super annoyed looking, slightly older person. Caption: 'people still assuming I'm lying out of laziness'.
I regret nothing. Say what you want.
Edit: I just saw the two typos. If you find them, you're welcome to keep them.
Edit: I love this community so much, thank you all for trying to help!

Ah fair! I wasn't super clear, I was more talking about my comment than the original post.
