"Constantly externalizing internal conflicts" should come right after "every accusation is a confession."

Well SOMEONE is externalizing her feelings onto the cats
Calmly explaining to the cats that Mars Rx is copresent with the full moon in Cancer so if they're having a difficult time managing their feelings and failing into aggression right now I'd like them to try to regulate and focus on calming self-care techniques and IT'S NOT FUCKING WORKING

Externalizing what you need is so easy. and better yet just going "handle this" and then checking back in

Maybe you could find a private actor who profits from solving public problems instead of externalizing them

Now, that might sound a bit confusing because so many of these folk are also really into things like "grindset" and "manifestation."

But those aren't about development, growing, learning, getting more experienced, they're really about externalizing an intrinsic spiritual value.

He’s just externalizing his eternal khole.

That's an externalizing response to trauma right there.

How is it internalized misogyny if you people wont stop externalizing it

This is wild. "Vote Blue, no matter who...but who matters...because 9/11." That's externalizing some pretty bad internalized racism.

Will forgot to sublimate the fear of being ignored by women into a kink instead of externalizing it as misogyny. Yet another thing he could learn if he just listened to trans women.

100%. Also, who counts as “one of theirs” is a moving goalpost. Eugenics isn’t about a coherent vision, it’s about valorizing exclusion and externalizing harm.

If it's not a bubble then we prevent tech companies from externalizing costs on communities, and do so without creating even more emissions.

Win-win.

Those pushing AI written work fundamentally misunderstand the value and point of writing.

Writing can’t “optimize” for word patterns or “token frequency”—writing is about experimentation, externalizing inward experience, and making connections, writer-to-reader.

Attacking openAI's (and other LLM grifters) infrastructure is at this point "community self-defense" for the whole internet. They're literally a DOS attack funded by some of the richest and most evil men on the planet.

​It's baffling that we allow private companies to use public infrastructure as their R&D lab, externalizing the risk onto the public, while they fine tune their unproven software.

(It also doesn't work for coding, it's just better at externalizing costs onto the future, when all that spaghetti code needs to be reviewed and fixed)

Internalized polyphobia leads to externalizing your shit out of the house

That’s how e.g. the fossil fuel industry has been operating for decades: internalizing profit to the shareholders while externalizing costs to the public.

So much of the "new economy" is just externalizing costs that would be priced in or insured in legacy models.
