This was really weird to read. Self harm like this is normally associated with pretty severe mental illness.
Like what did she think they were going to do if she called in sick? Beat her up? Definitely a strange part of the story.
She probably should have kept that part to herself
You’re just learning how to become an adult
Sounds normal to me, growing up brings a lot of changes and responsibilities that you aren’t used to. We all go through it and find our way.
Hasn’t Twitter had the same problem for years?
No no no, you don’t understand. Now you have to stop eating meat and they need your permission to block out the sun

I have beliefs that would be considered left leaning and ones that would be considered right leaning.
You know, like a normal person aware of complexity and nuance
This is what I’m saying, I think people are just really addicted to Twitter and refuse to let it die combined with a lot of people online being far left and hating anything right of Antifa
When you were taught the definition of racism, or when it’s spoken about today (sometimes) it’s a hateful word and a hateful way of thinking about a group of people.
: a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
Progressives have since changed that definition to sometimes mean power + privilege = racism. Which is a wildly different thing and is not based on hate at all, but on socio-issues
Prejudice plus power, also known as R = P + P, is a stipulative definition of racism used in the United States, often by white anti-racism activists.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prejudice_plus_power
The problems in discussing these things or calling someone ‘racist’ is that these definitions (amongst others) can be used interchangeably, because they are both wildly different definitions of the same word
I guess considering the last part out of line depends on what your (or my) understanding of the progressive way of thinking and what it’s based on and what it’s goals are.
They’ve done a great job marketing it as ‘just be a nice person’ but that’s not at all what it really is.
I’m sure there are hundreds of millions of well-meaning progressives who believe that. And I’m not trying to insult them.
But people get sold on one thing and end up getting something entirely different all of the time. It’s sad, but that’s the way things are, unfortunately.
I’m not saying the opposite of progressivism is the answer here either, what I would advocate is common sense.
If you need a PhD and peer reviewed sociology papers to try to convince someone that something as egregious as race-based college admissions is a good thing, you’re pretty obviously the baddie and common sense should tell us that you’re trying to convince us of something for a different reason.
People in favor of affirmative action in college admissions see things very specifically.
They see that an identifiable group is under represented and they want to ‘fix’ it. Without any idea what the ramifications of their ‘fix’ is.
All they care about is the demographics of whatever it is they are looking at. All they think about is race.
The idea that racism is the way out of racism is simply crazy.
Of course, you have to realize that the definition of racism can change from an outlook of superiority to power + privilege on a whim too
The whole progressive mindset is just fucking evil
This is really great to hear. College admissions should be a fair process.
“Covid 19 is back, the Zeta variant is highly transmissible, but without any real side effects. the only way to ensure humanity’s survival is to destroy it by assimilating it”
“Assimilate today, we will all be the same. No more worry about being different. Being a different race, a different gender or a different sexual preference. We will be simply Borg instead. United and as one. Resistance is futile”
“If we all assimilate, we can cut CO2 emissions by 70%! Assimilate today, save the earth”
