Using my sense of affective empathy, I see that you're scared of me because I'm disabled. Using my sense of cognitive empathy, I make an educated guess that you've accepted a bunch of stereotypes about disabled people as true without seriously checking them. Putting myself in your shoes, I can only imagine I would take such a confrontational stance with someone just for how they were born, if I was scared absolutely shitless. Drawing on my own experience as a person living with NPD, and factoring in your lack of experience, I don't believe at all what you're saying about neurotypicals having empathy for people with NPD by default and making a conscious choice to turn it off. I've been in thousands of situations where a neurotypical interacted with a person living with NPD, involving thousands of neurotypicals. I only know of one time you've been in such a situation.

Work on a mine site and get used to waking up at 4:30 for a 5:30 start to the work day. Then sleep in.

Sorry, but my empathy is very deeply impaired and there's almost nothing I can do about it. The empathy I feel for others is very finely tuned, I have plenty of it, I always know and understand what other people are feeling. But the empathy I GET from others is nearly nothing. I receive an impaired sense of empathy from neurotypicals. Other people with NPD have been very kind to me, but neurotypicals make a choice not to put in the 10% extra effort it takes to feel empathy for a person with NPD. That's why you think I'm toxic. You're choosing not to feel empathy for me. You're choosing not to understand the position I'm in, and so when I complain about a problem or try to fix it, you think I'm complaining about nothing.

The only thing I can do to resolve my problems with empathy is to campaign for greater recognition of the fact that we disabled people ARE people. Whether you choose to listen is something entirely out of my control.

Oh, okay. Soulism expands on the fact that everything is a bias.

It's the kind of moral stench that comes from being a rich slaveowning cop

So I'm out in public and think to myself "Christ almighty, the tiddies on that chick are huge!" And the AI plays it on a loudspeaker for everyone to hear? No thanks, fuck off with that neuralink bs

Crosses are boring. Let's talk about the Yin Yang instead. It's a symbol that illustrates the oneness of opposing forces in the universe, which is the whole point of Taoism. George Lucas even used it when he copied Taoism to make the Jedi religion, and said the force has a light side and a dark side. However, Lucas changed the myth and said the light side is natural and good, while the dark side is unnatural and bad. This is just my opinion, but I think he was influenced by christianity into making this change. Interestingly, this idea of the dark side being bad seems to be a postchristian invention, as in Judaism the Devil is actually one of Elohim's employees. He's the literal devil's advocate, whose job is to question the lord. So Judaism actually has more in common with Taoism than with Christianity on the light/dark side of things. The Lucifer myth, of a divine being turned evil by abandoning their purpose, is very interesting. I get kind of a Greek vibe from it, you know, like Kronos? Prometheus? The Greeks believed there was a natural order to the world, the Fates, and that humans and gods alike could choose to defy fate, though they would inevitably be punished. That's why Sisyphus had to roll the boulder up the hill, he tried to lock up Thanatos and cheat death. So the Kronos myth, the Prometheus myth, and the Sisyphus myth are actually all the same story. Guy gets too big for his britches, tries to cheat fate, and is punished. It's the same myth told three times over within the same culture. I think Roman adoption of Christianity introduced Greek elements into Christianity and that's why we have the Lucifer myth, which is the same myth again as those three. But interestingly, Judaism does have the same myth in a pre-roman context, because Cain, of course! So the traitor myth that was introduced to Christianity by the Romans from Greece was actually part of the Hebrew religion all along, just in a less prominent position. And I'm certain there are other traitor myths in just about every culture in the world. For example, aboriginal australians tell the myth of Willie Wagtail, who was turned into a bird for gossiping too much, and the story fits the same structure if I recall correctly. The traitor myth is universal to human culture.

Your dad has good taste in Trek, 7/9 and the doctor are the only good parts of that show and Janeway is racist to both of them.

Acoochiemoya.

Yeah lol, haven't you heard of Quetzalcoatl? Or Sky Woman?

Yep. It was a long time ago, and the galaxy has since gone through thousands of years of oppression at the hands of the Corpus and the Grineer, both of whom are not interested in preserving history that contradicts their propaganda.

The void is a place. And it's a place that does not conform to the laws of consensus reality. That's destructive, yes, but it's more complex than that. The most obvious effect of void contamination is it causes madness. That's why you face a bunch of "corrupted" corpus and grineer in void fissure missions. They've been driven mad by the void and are operating according to goals and motivations unknown to any sane person. It's actually super weird that the Tenno aren't corrupted by void fissures and by travelling to the void. You can be exposed to void energy no problem and you're basically fine. Maybe you'll learn why that is in a future quest.

Hey, nice going, I saw earlier today you were still doing mercury junction. You're progressing fast.
