Not sure why I let myself be hopeful about a rich person

The only friends I've ever had that felt genuine are also neurodivergent. I moved away from everyone and don't really have friends in person anymore, but I highly recommend trying to suss out some autistic and/or ADHD folks. Not that it always pans out, plenty of us suck too, but the odds seem way better because it'll be easier for them to give you room to fuck up socially.

The person you've been dealing with probably is trying to control the group. They likely feel threatened by you, especially if there isn't another woman in the group. Lots of people think everyone acts the same way they do, so if she's controlling then she thinks you're gonna try to take control from her because that's what she would do.

Anyway, I hope you keep trying to find friends and have more luck in the future. You're definitely not alone in these experiences, but there is still hope. I'm over 40 and have been through it over and over, but I found a couple of people along the way that made it worth the struggle.

Got curious how they managed this. I hadn't looked into pal action much, but it turns out there's a dude named Fergie Chambers who is rich af (like 100s of millions) in the background paying legal fees and such.

I'm so torn between admiring him and being disappointed that he's not doing more to build a vanguard (but maybe he is idk). Either way, being that wealthy and not being a capitalist piece of shit about it is impressive.

Edit: y'all think he'd pay my rent if I do agitprop full-time?

Wtf is an agency push? Is this something I should know?

Idk anything about the site design, but it probably wouldn't be too hard to make the text collapse for the longer taglines and have a button to expand it if the user wants to. Then just save that to the user profile. Or have a setting that can default it, idk how Lemmy works either. Why am I even commenting?

I feel like this deserves a change.org petition

Yeah, it's because y'all are insecure about being so much like the US

Triangle is the best shape for a lot of reasons and I do not want it ruined in this way, but a half circle is just the right kind of abomination for this
