I hope it lands on me and takes me out in a swift act.

Ah Starmer.

I’m usually the type to begrudgingly vote for the lesser evil. But to be honest, after Starmer’s treatment of trans and disabled people, I would find it excessively hard to be able to pinch my nose hard enough to vote for him.

Depends on what you mean by Block.

Most lemmy Ui’s let you block it in that it hides the communities.

Oh my god this hits so hard.

I became bedridden from illness at the age of 19. And haven’t had the health to leave my bed since.

For years all my dreams have been about random moments in middle or high school, which I remember with utmost vividness, yet the people I remember, miss cherish memories of, wonder how they are doing, have nearly all completely forgotten about my existence. Like literally, the brain fills with new memories and old ones fade. I never got the new memories, so I’m stuck with a loop of older ones.

liberals, neoliberals, broadly the same thing.

Vaguely progressive, maybe a little bit of welfare sprinkled here or there, but adhering to capitalist “growth” and inequality as a doctrine.

Aka. Rainbow Capitalism.

If it makes you feel better, I think it’s a completely normal reaction to your situation. When I became bedridden and was mostly abandoned by family and friends. I often used LLMs for discussions. Though I didn’t use the sort of character ai thing, just a plain old LLM without a personality, but it kept me intellectually engaged when I had no one to share my ideas with, emotionally resilient when I didn’t have friends or family to vent to or support me.

I really don’t think you should care if people who haven’t been through the kind of immense suffering it takes to lose the functioning of your body and be abandoned by the people you love, think it is normal or not.

I kind of dislike this armchair diagnosing.

Someone reacting differently in similar situations doesn’t mean they are bipolar.

Aka. A shy extrovert.

In the four european countries I’ve lived in as a physically disabled person unable to work, this is exactly how I’ve been treated as well.
