Coldplay studied this, learned from their mistakes and then mastered the art of claiming to be a christian band while simultaneously claiming to not be a christian band

My life is getting weird. This week might be my very last one of treating reality like it's real and not just a wacky simulation. (sh.itjust.works)
 

If things get too weird this week i'm going to fuck off to another part of the world and start a new life. My language skills are actuslly getting pretty decent and more possible destinations open up.

So recently i realised everyone around me just lies, making up elaborate stories. I used to feel guilty when i lied so easily and now i realise it was taught to me by everyone i grew up with.

There is no place for me in their constructed narrative. Not with my family who raised me, nor with friends. Not with the wider commumity I grew up in.

Ironically, most people want to move away and explore the world. I would have been happy to stay put, i love everything about where i grew up. But i found out how deep the lies run.

Freaked myself out with google calendar in c/casualconversation@piefed.social

So true. I first started actually using Google calendar when my uni timetable was added, and got into the habit of looking at it too much because of anxiety. I definitely do the same thing with emails because I never get email notifications unfortunately.

One of my favourite tools now though. You can set up a schedule for people to book meetings with you or generate links corresponding to social meets, helping people to remember them and plan their day around the meeting. It's actually pretty good because I can suggest multiple things I might want to do that day and have them overlap, then finally choose one.

Freaked myself out with google calendar (sh.itjust.works)
 

A few days ago when i was feeling more motviated and organised i said "i'm going to rewatch one lecture every day in the evening this week" and added it to my calendar.

Today I just got a notification saying "LECTURE AT 6 !!!" and was like omg i'll never make it there in time and I'm so comfy and relaxed now; I forgot all about it and have already missed the first 2 days of my planned "relaxed revision week." No biggie.

I also do this over and over again. I write a schedule and then my brain forgets about it. Sometimes i'm pleasantly surprised to see "do x fun thing" when i'm locked in or busy spending time with other people instead.

Also took me longer that i needed to to start using Google calendar because i was terrified that it would display my schedule to anyone who looks it up using my email address. It doesn't, or rather you have to tick something to make it do that.

I get what you mean. Reddit Atheist is an archetype not a filing category. One can be Reddit Atheist without even making contact with a reddit

I've never met a "femcel" - as in a woman with poor social skills who stays inside and games a lot, perhaps lacking optimism about their romantic prospects and overall destiny - in my life so the whole concept did strike me as weird. Seeing the "femcel" subreddits, twitter pages and Instagram pages, all it reminded me of were the toxic girls from my hometown who essentially scared off new prospects by being so rude to them and CLEARLY chose their lifestyle very early on.

I therefore think femcel is a misnomer. I think generally women aren't getting hung up on men in an incel-ly way - the ones that do skip straight to stalker serial killer lady - I think women are good at socialising and always have some sort of support system.
