You need to dumb it down a bit if you want me to understand

You can’t set me up like that, I’m tapping out. Someone else explain basic human decency to this person, plz.

I’ve asked what the pearl clutching itself accomplishes.

Have you asked the same question about your disingenuous hand wringing? 🤔

Is pineapple good on pizza? <— a debate

Are human rights guaranteed to all humans? <— a fucking ghoulish question that you deserve to be mocked for “debating”

B-but I just want to have a civil debate about why genocide is ok, why won’t anyone be nice to me? Wyahhhhh, such toxicity! People are so small minded if they can’t accept ethnic cleansing :(

It’s because you’re so speshul. I actually have your picture on my wall.

Sugar addiction is not the same as a drug that causes physiologic dependence, like cocaine or opiates.

But

You can become addicted to sugar, or anything that makes you feel good, because you’re basically hacking into the cocaine repository that’s already in your brain. Anything that triggers a hit of dopamine and/or noradrenaline - gambling, shopping, sex, food, weed - can cause addictive behavior, but you’re essentially addicted to your own neurotransmitters and not the thing itself.

This comic is the last part of an ongoing story

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When your illness starts being more performance than illness it’s time to take a step back and ask if you’re performing for yourself or for someone else. And why.

You are mistaken about the origin of the term. Vigilantes are gross, but malingerers also do real, tangible harm to people who have to contend with the medical system and the term “spoonie” is certainly overused by a certain kind of bad faith actor in the CI community.

I don’t have a mental illness, I have a physical illness that causes me a lot of pain. I think the confusion here is partly my fault for not saying so at the outset.

I clearly have weird hang ups about it all. I can’t pretend I’m “right” to cringe at spoonies but they do make me uncomfy for the reasons I tried to outlined.

I just want to jump back in and clear up something: I am not talking about autism. I don’t honestly feel that the term spoonie as it originally was developed applies to people with autism/autistics, I always understood it to be a measure of physical illness. (If you want to use it for your neurodiversity you are welcome to do so, but then you’re not who I’m talking about when I talk about spoonies.)

I am in constant physical pain. There is no social model for my disability. I am in agony.

Also yes 100% to your second paragraph, exactly that.
