I had a similar experience. The more I learned about autism the more excited I became about finally having an answer to all the things that didn't make sense the last 30+ years. After obsessing over articles and videos about how other people on the spectrum dealt with things like burnout and rage, I started to feel peace about who I was for the first time in my life. I went back and forth questioning whether or not I should get a formal diagnosis and ultimately made the decision not to for this one simple reason: It didn't matter. If the "solutions" that worked for autistic people worked for me, then everything else was just semantics.

If believing I was on the spectrum improved my quality of life, it didn't matter whether it was true or not.

I think maybe the wording in your title is throwing people off because as a lot of people are pointing out we CAN make make choices that limit the amount of enshittification we experience in our own lives. Seems like what you're trying to say is choosing not to support enshittification doesn't stop companies from continuing enshittification.

Her name was Wesley LePatne. She was the CEO of the housing branch of Blackstone.

Media really is trying it's best not to acknowledge he killed the CEO of one of the largest private investment firms in the world. Definitely not Luigi 2.0.

Crazy how he somehow managed to end up shooting the CEO of one of the largest private investment firms in the world. Definitely not Luigi 2.0.

Okay but don't they have to prove the list is real for him to get charged?

You guys are aware that the no kings protests weren't a one off and the next one is scheduled for this Thursday July 17 right? I hate how this information doesn't seem to be reaching people. We've got to work on spreading the word.

 

"Good Trouble Lives On" demonstrations against President Donald Trump and his administration's policies are scheduled to take place across the U.S. on July 17.

Thankfully someone I knew posted it on social media. Seems to be the only way information gets spread around now. Been trying to do the same. It's by the same group that did the no kings protest and they have said they plan to continue planning protests so I would just follow that group for upcoming protests. I had googled "next no kings protest" after I heard about it and it popped up.

I've made it my personal mission to get as many people I know out to the protests. It helps a little though I'm still hopelessly depressed.

Next nationwide protest is this Thursday! July 17th. Good trouble lives on.
