I just saw someone say the words "jokingly gaslight" this might be a good time to reintroduce the internet to the terms "lying" or perhaps "pranking" or even just "joking" on it's own

Okay, say it with me guys…

If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they'll believe that it's true, then that's lying.

If you are giving someone wrong information under the assumption that they'll ultimately realise that it's false, and that they will find this funny, then that's joking.

If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they'll believe that it's true and that their response will be funny, then that's a prank.

If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they will notice the differences between your presentation of reality and their perception of it, and come to doubt their ability to judge what is and is not real, then that's gaslighting.

now dont leave this in the tags

If you are giving someone wrong information and you assume they will know it is wrong, in hopes that they will play along, then that’s a bit.

remaking: disabled+broke, need help

i was rlly hoping i could finally stop making monthly posts asking for help, but apparently not. dta and my appeal regarding being denied benefits are taking time especially with being given the run around by my drs who cant get paperwork done on time, and may is a lil too close for comfort now

i was able to get approved for emergency snap benefits so i have some money for groceries but i desperately need enough money to pay my medical insurance through work. if i cant pay that on the first ill lose my insurance and i rlly cannot afford that

my bill is $145.66

i also have rent and electric to pay, and currently the dinner i made the other night is making me extremely sick and im going to need to waste it so i could really use like an extra $20 to order dinner tonight because i dont have anything to eat and im not physically well enough today to cook tonight anyways

i dont rlly want to set another super high goal cause the last two months i havent reached those goals and have been scrapping by but i dont rlly know what else to do so my goal is gonna be $1000

my v/nmo is PeachyMermaid and my paypal is imagineericosplay@gmail.com

$0/$1000

Studying sustainability has taught me that the answer to things like “is it better to use paper or plastic bags?” always ends up being something like “we would need to perform an extremely in depth study on the entire life cycle of both types of bags from virgin material collection to product recollection, compare things like amount of product each type of bag can carry, material usage per bag, how frequently double-bagging is occurring, and take into account a ridiculous number of factors down to the fuel efficiency of the trucks that transport them and even after all that we would have to try to find a way to compare whether the higher carbon emissions of producing and transporting paper bags is better than the fact that the plastic bags will be plastic bags for the next thousand years. And at the end of the day all this research would ultimately not be particularly useful because our waste collection streams in the US are so fucking bad it’s depressing.”

And then someone will ask about reusable bags and you’d have to do the study again only to reveal that you need to use the reusable bag like a couple thousand times to offset the carbon emissions it takes to make the reusable bag and make it worth it over disposable bags and that’s not taking into consideration bags breaking before then or being forgotten about completely.

The answer always leads to “it’s incredibly complicated but our current practices are so terrible we would need a full scale restructuring of our economy and practices to such a degree that can literally never happen because our government is lobbied by the people who make money off of said unsustainable practices.”

So the answer to “paper bags or plastic bags?” is that we need to destroy capitalism
