randomly remembered “i have d cups, grandpa. the waitress thinks you have dementia” tonight so i decided to find the original tweet again and
[ID: A Tweet and self-reply by Twitter user Akira.
The original Tweet says “At a certain magnitude of cunt severity, getting misgendered by your family stops hurting and starts being funny. I have D cups, Grandpa. The waitress thinks you have dementia.”
The reply reads: “UPDATE: she was right”. End ID]
So, one thing I’d like to note here is
One of the lesser known early symptoms of dementia is that people start being more disagreeable.
Part of this is probably the natural result of being increasingly confused and upset day to day constantly. Another possible thing is that the same mechanism that causes dementia is also attacking the part of the brain that does emotional regulation.
And the thing is this is super early stage. By the time they stop remembering when’s the last time you met, it’s already way too late. But if an older person in your life starts acting way more like a cunt for literally no reason, and it’s not particularly in character for them, it really might be worth testing for dementia or Alzheimer’s because you have a lot more options catching it earlier.
this is a good argument for not being an asshole: people will notice sooner if you get more argumentative.
