If you see a post talking about problems related to a behavior you do (or problems related to not doing something) and your first and only reaction is to rant about how the post is insensitive to your very specific circumstances which make changing your behavior impossible, consider:
- Not everything is about you and this might just be one of those things.
- That is also the reaction of every person in the history of humanity who simply didn't want to change their behavior. Everyone has extenuating circumstances. The worst person you know has internally compelling reasons for their behavior. The challenges that you personally experience will always feel like a reasonable excuse for your behavior because they're the things you personally are experiencing. The consequences of some behaviors are mild enough that extenuating circumstances can excuse them (see #1). The consequences of others are bad enough that it is necessary, if one wants to live a decent life in this world, that you figure out a way to change regardless. It is your personal responsibility to figure out the difference between these and take the appropriate actions. Here's a hint: the more emotionally attached you are to your excuse, the more likely it is that it's excusing a behavior that needs to change.
- Insisting that OP needs to provide explicit instructions for how to start or stop the behavior for someone in your very specific circumstances is unreasonable and probably annoying.
Post: People who put celery in chili are evil you're my enemy
Reply: OP I have a rare dietary condition that requires me to consume 10lbs of celery per day if I didn't put celery in it I'd never be able to eat celery
Issue: #1, maybe the post just isn't about you
Post: People have got to stop calling the cops on Black teenagers who are just goofing off, you're gonna get someone killed. Either ignore them or go talk to them yourself if you're that concerned about their behavior.
Reply: OP I got attacked and almost killed by teenagers and now I have PTSD that is triggered when I see groups of teenagers regardless of race. I literally can't go talk to them without having a panic attack and so I have to call the police to deal with the issue.
Issue: #2, no you don't get a pass on this one. Your PTSD does not give you a pass to endanger the lives of other people. Your feelings are not more important than someone's life, even when you irrationally feel your life is in danger. Go to therapy or a support group, do internal work, have a friend you can call to help you - whatever the solution, it's your responsibility to find a way to change that behavior.
Post: Other drivers need to keep their cars in the lane lines! I need to not have near death experiences every commute please!
Reply: OP I would love to keep my car in the lane but I have an old shitty car that randomly jerks the wheel out of my hands and causes me to swerve. I can't afford a new car or a mechanic and I have to drive to get to work. What is someone in my situation supposed to do to stay in the lines??
Issue: #3, oh my God shut UP

A trestle table had been set up across the cave, in a cleft in the rock. Behind it sat a woman all in grey, cloaked and hooded. In her hands was a crown, a bronze circlet ringed by iron swords. She was studying it, her fingers stroking the blades as if to test their sharpness. Her eyes glimmered under her hood. - Brienne VIII, aFfC

Acting like there needs to be a single unified fandom consensus on imagery and fanmade lore and symbolism and things left ambiguous in canon and the like with no deviation will kill the patient she needs a ton of different interpretations that all contradict each other to live

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem
girls are contributing, too. the coquette aesthetic, the “i don’t want to girlboss i want a man to pay my bills”, girlmath girljob girlmoney. it’s a joke, it’s clothes, it’s whatever, i get it but it is driving a mentality of traditional gender roles and you know you’re joking but your boyfriend doesn’t. your kid brother doesn’t. you have to stop this shit it is a contributing factor

The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.
I’d just like to point out that every single thing that has happened in the 6 years since I created this post has only reinscribed its absolute moral correctness in my mind.
