i needed to express a sentiment in the creative stylings of @dunmeshiminimumwage
#eliot posts#dunme#delicious in dungeon#dungeon meshi#sorry to put toshiro in the roll of shitty job interviewer lmao#but he was the best fit for ''guy that wants me to read their mind''#laios being my internal monologue here#i was on my THIRD interview of the day i was Dying#tho since the prev two interviews i had were for similar positions and told me their salaries outright at least i could use that number#(though tbh my work persona is more of a kabru. my customer service voice is unparalleled)#(at my first job even my coworkers thought i was sooo cheerful til i got too comfy and casually made a joke abt wanting to asphyxiate on a#plastic shopping bag like a sea turtle. in front of my sweet elderly coworker. oops!)#(also this job was during quarantine and after weeks of working together i took my mask off in front of one coworker for the first time#and she called like half the department over from their registers to look at how pretty i was??? prettyboy powers unmatched ig)#(also my first interview today went SO well i charmed that interviewer so good despite my lack of qualifications)#(she even complimented my social skills and said i seemed like the type who could get along well and make good conversation with anyone!)#(which is important bc i was interviewing for an elder care position. also old people especially tend to think i am a Delightful Young Lad)#(unless i accidentally make a morbid joke around them ig lmaooo. or. well. some of them like those too. but not that one coworker lol)#(if only that skill transferred over to actually making friends irl. my autistic ass has so few close irl connections)#(i hope my exceedingly short list of character references does not prevent me from getting hired)#AND ALSO my first job asked the same wage question and i said twelve dollars#and they were like all our new employees start at 7.75#the union insists that we pay all new employees a whopping 50 cents above min wage. (we'd pay less if we could)#like dawg why did you ask that then??? if my answer did not matter at all???

By now, Suzume had settled into a routine. With her time off, she visits Mrs Kobayashi to keep her company and to help around the house! She filled the loneliness in her life and every time Suzume came, Mrs Kobayashi's smile was brighter.
#ts4#sims 4#ts4 gameplay#ts4 legacy#tjol legacy#tjolc#tjolc gen 1#suzume miyazawa#eiko kobayashi#her english names suzy which means lily/joyful and this is the joy in life legacy! shes already impacting others lives positively 😊#i never play much with elders as one of the main characters or explore gameplay with them! using this legacy to do that#and im touching on the topic of loneliness in the elderly by creating#a heartwarming story 😊 i hope this legacy is making you smile!

I am given so much godsdamned china.
#i gave a whole set (lovely; white and gold) to a dear friend this summer which was great#but it just keeps coming#i don't know how much of this is my own specific sociocultural position#(+ my partner becoming very close to multiple single elderly gay ballet teachers who leave him many of their possessions)#and how much of it is a common generational experience#anway. that was a pretty miserable visit#but this is some very pretty china even if i don't know where we're going to store it#family stuff

Why does the right constantly believe they are not being idealistic, the world needs to conform to your beliefs for them to work too, things are not going to just turn on a dime because you think you're intellectually superior for not thinking about the impact your changes would have on other people
#both sides drive me up the fucking wall#yes I position myself in the right side of the political spectrum but holy shit#'abolishing the police is a bad idea but we should abolish public schools'#'taxing the rich won't work because they avoid taxes like the plague so let's abolish all taxes and rely on people's generosity instead'#'we have declining birth rates and this is going to destroy the middle class and the military and the elderly but fuck maternity leave'#'employers are increasingly discriminating against women and mothers who need to work to support their families because the middle class is#shrinking but employers should be allowed to discriminate against whoever they want because they can't possibly have existing biases'#there's no quippy way to say it but the right believes gun safety laws can never properly be applied much like the left believes#pro-life laws can never be properly applied therefore restrictions are illogical at best and dangerous at worst#do you guys see what I'm saying here

got stopped on the street by a charity representative guy today who very earnestly and with genuine well-meaning bewilderment bordering on concern asked me if I was fucking with him when I told him I'm over 30. I take back every mean and derogatory thing I've ever said about Blue (which of course is going to take a while there've been quite a few, deservedly (affectionate)), the ongoing indignity of having a babyface should entitle one to any number of vile acts and character flaws as compensation
#I also get real stressed about being approached unexpectedly in public so the vibes must have been so odd to this poor guy fhkjads#always out here serving hapless fawn looking for ways to escape this sudden calamity (someone's talking to me unexpectedly oh god)#it sucks to be like this but on the other hand it is also frequently quite funny. the number of elderly women who've seen me in public#and clearly go 'oh dear. oh dear. gorgeous. I believe she said no pickles'. main social skill: awakens protectiveness in older women#on the positive side I in many ways feel a lot younger than I actually am (I think it's the gay the autism and some milestones missed)#so at least it's sort of congruent that way. but I think this dude was delicately trying to discern whether I was an actual teenager lmao#this is almost as bad as that sales dude who showed up on my doorstep a year or two ago who took one look at me#and then asked me whether my parents were home. the humilation is unending and ongoing#(I told him 'no🥺' so I wouldn't have to talk to him and it worked)#minister blue

New Scotland Yard: We Do What We Can (2.11, LWT, 1972)
"I have to be careful."
"You're big and ugly enough to look after yourself."
"Not with this little firm I'm not."
"Which firm?"
"Jimmy Sutton's. He don't believe in straighteners. Goes in for surgery."
"Surgery?"
"Amputation with a sawn-off shotgun."
"Ah. Well, you can always apply for a claim at the Criminal Injuries Board."
"I wouldn't have a leg to stand on, would I?"
#new scotland yard#we do what we can#1972#lwt#classic tv#tony hoare#john reardon#john woodvine#john carlisle#robert morris#susan glanville#stanley lebor#frank jarvis#michael balfour#peter childs#natalie kent#dennis blanch#donald maciver#a fairly unusual script; this series hasn't been particularly continuity focused‚ just handwaving a few details about our leads#homelives etc‚ but this episode features a specific call back to a previous case (Ward's failure to prove the guilt of Ray Lonnen's#gangster back in 2.5) as well as featuring a returning minor character (Balfour's seedy informant‚ a pivotal part of the plot of the#previous episode‚ here having more of a cameo sort of role to get some vital exposition across to Ward)#the plot concerns a planned wages snatch (there's a time capsule for you; nobody snatches wages anymore but then i suppose electronic#banking has put paid to it). the villains of the piece are a triumvirate of classic telly faces: future sitcom stalwart Lebor as the#vicious leader‚ Public Eye's Ron Gash himself Peter Childs as the quieter member of the gang‚ and good old Frank Jarvis (speaking in an#unnaturally gruff voice) as the wide boy. they're involving another ex con tho‚ who happens to be one that Ward helped to get a job and#turn his life around (very out of character for Ward tbh...). cue much skulking and sleuthing. it's a solid ep really but there's a brief#side plot concerning an elderly police widow fallen on hard times that sits awkwardly with the rest of the ep; it's not that it's a bad#side plot‚ exactly‚ actually it's quite affecting; it's just that it's very briefly handled‚ and stood to be further developed or given a#weightier position in the plot‚ rather than two brief scenes in the first half that are never referenced in the second

Me: I can't believe I only slept with my CPAP machine mask on for a couple hours last night! I'm a real piece of shit who is an utter failure at taking care of himself!!
My body: *is in so much uncontrollable pain that I am nauseous and I started weeping when my partner gave me a backrub this morning that relieved a small amount of the pain*
Me: Yup, this is a moral failing on my part, and there is no explanation for why I would have trouble sleeping other than I am inherently bad and incompetent! This is a good and healthy way to view having trouble with my body, and it is definitely not indicative of a childhood of being invalidated when I was in pain!
--------
Next up, "why me having trouble applying medicine to my feet is absolutely the result of selfish laziness rather than my well-documented muscle atrophy and nerve pain!"
(I sure hope no part of me catches wise and makes a meta tumblr post debunking the toxic thought processes of my internalized ableism! I've put a lot of work into all this self-blame, after all!!)
#original#disability#chronic pain#chronic fatigue#cpap machine#fibromyalgia#cripple posting#nerve pain#muscular atrophy#diary#I called this kind of self talk aggressive self love. because I'm giving myself a positive message very sarcastically.#like Oh WOW Jack you're SO RIGHT to think you're lazy! - ALL you did today was help your elderly neighbor and support a suicidal friend???#WOW. what a shithead you are! doing kindness for others even when your body hurts!! AND you took care of yourself too?? HUH.#BETTER TAKE A BIG DUMP ON YOURSELF SO YOU LEARN A BIIIIG LESSON YOU BIG BEAUTIFUL BITCH 🙄🙄🙄��👀👀#it makes me laugh and shakes me out of my funk and makes me think about how i am actually doing my best and deserve rest and patience#then usually that voice in my head will clarify what they actually mean. because they're not trying to hurt me#they're just exasperated and reflecting the absurdity of my self blame back at me in a helpful teasing way.#I'm so autistic even my internal dialogue has no room for ambiguity XD

The Philosophy of Aging
The philosophy of aging explores the nature, significance, and experience of growing older. It encompasses various dimensions including biological, psychological, social, and existential perspectives. Philosophers, ethicists, and scholars examine the meaning of aging, the value of elderly life, and the societal attitudes towards aging and the elderly. Here’s a comprehensive look at the key concepts and ideas in the philosophy of aging:
1. The Nature of Aging
Biological Aging: This involves the physical changes that occur as organisms grow older, such as the gradual decline in physical and cognitive abilities. Philosophical inquiry into biological aging considers questions about the naturalness and inevitability of physical decline.
Psychological Aging: This dimension examines the mental and emotional aspects of aging. It includes the development of wisdom, changes in identity, and the impact of aging on mental health.
2. The Experience of Aging
Subjective Experience: Philosophers explore what it feels like to grow older. This includes the changing perceptions of time, the accumulation of life experiences, and the emotional and psychological adjustments to aging.
Cultural Narratives: Different cultures have varied narratives and attitudes about aging. The philosophy of aging looks at how these narratives shape individuals’ experiences of growing older and how they influence societal treatment of the elderly.
3. The Value of Elderly Life
Wisdom and Knowledge: Aging is often associated with the accumulation of wisdom and knowledge. Philosophical discussions may focus on the unique contributions that older adults can make to society based on their life experiences and understanding.
Respect and Dignity: The ethical treatment of the elderly is a crucial aspect. Philosophers argue for the respect and dignity of older individuals, challenging ageism and advocating for their rights and wellbeing.
4. Ethical and Social Considerations
Intergenerational Justice: This involves the ethical considerations of resource distribution between generations. Philosophical debates may focus on the obligations of society towards the elderly, including healthcare, social support, and opportunities for meaningful engagement.
End-of-Life Issues: The philosophy of aging also addresses ethical issues related to end-of-life care, euthanasia, and the right to die. These discussions consider the autonomy, dignity, and quality of life of elderly individuals.
5. Existential Perspectives
Meaning and Purpose: Aging brings forth questions about the meaning and purpose of life. Philosophers explore how individuals can find fulfillment and meaning in their later years, despite physical and social challenges.
Acceptance of Mortality: Aging is intimately connected with the awareness of mortality. Philosophical inquiry into aging often includes reflections on how individuals come to terms with their mortality and the implications for how they live their lives.
6. Positive Aging
Active Aging: This concept promotes the idea of staying active and engaged throughout the aging process. It encourages physical activity, social involvement, and continuous learning as means to enhance the quality of life in old age.
Successful Aging: Philosophers and gerontologists explore what it means to age successfully. This includes maintaining physical health, mental well-being, and a sense of purpose and satisfaction in life.
The philosophy of aging provides a multifaceted exploration of what it means to grow older. It challenges societal stereotypes about aging, highlights the value of elderly life, and addresses ethical considerations surrounding the treatment of older individuals. By examining the biological, psychological, social, and existential dimensions of aging, this field offers valuable insights into how we can live fulfilling and dignified lives as we age.

One problem with the world is that there are lots of people out there who have the dispositions of poorly socialized malinois, and these are the people who tend to end up in positions of power in the workplace.

#for reference: i drive a manual vehicle from 2007#it is a tiny little elderly car (tbh a good go cart)#it was fun to drive my mum’s car though except when it tried to correct my positioning and tell me i was speeding (i was)#what’s going on in nero’s mind?
