it gets bettering

Explaining to someone (usually a member of the LGBTQ+ community who is at the beginning of their "coming out" journey) that "it gets better." This could be perceived as patronizing, particularly when offered by someone who doesn't seem to have their life together, but it is well-intentioned.

A reference to the It Gets Better Project storytelling campaign which has helped thousands of LGBTQ+ young people. Used in the HBO Max show, "The Sex Lives of College Girls"
"I'm just calling to check in on you. I could tell you're in a really bad place and I just wanted to say that it gets better."

"Oh my god, are you "it gets bettering" me? Yeah, no, I'm fine. You drive a Ford Windstar. You get better."

Better

Wow! That became relativistic awfully fast. Objective morality requires relativistic definitions of the word 'better?' There is a BETTER better non-religious people failed to achieve during the covid pandemic? Or that could have been achieved but wasn't? I mean, the religious are immortal so you can see why the are better equipped to deal with mass death. But THAT BETTER... Is somehow undercut by a theoretical better that hasn't been achieved?

Hym "Yes, but you have the button, Sam. You have the exact button you described. And here you are, not pressing it. I don't see how you're not the moral monster you described. The think you consider completely untenable (the weaponized schizophrenia) is occurring. The black pill scenario is occurring. You have the button. And what's worse is that the guy that it's happening to has a button that is the antithesis of your button. And you're still not pressing it. How do you reconcile that? How are you not the moral monster?
You know what I think? I think you're a solipsist. I think everyone is (necessarily) a solipsist but you especially. You can even see it in the rhetoric you all use. Systems and models for emulation and corrective feedback. I really don't think other people are fully human to any of you. I don't think your morality is objective. I think it's just imaginary. I don't think it can be applied. I don't think you ever intend to apply it (because public policy is downstream from your morality yet still you're not a politician). I think is you ever had to apply it you would... Well... Do what you're doing now! And everyone would suffer for it. I really was going to bite the bullet on the weaponized schizophrenia, Sam. Really and truly. But you all were talking so much shit and you really did think you were better... YOU STILL DO! So, I'll ask again? What's my score? Wait! Decide whether or not you're going to press the button because that's going to determine whether or not you need to add one. How are you not the moral monster? And if to be that kind of moral monster requires you to have a damaged mind, how am I not right about you all being retarded?"

You're not better than everyone

You don't need to explain the point of it, Sabine. It is clear that they want me to be unable to say I'm better but I am not going to be worse than that fucking cripple and I do not need to improve.
A retard "You're not better than everyone"

Hym "You're all fucking trash. A bruised 🍌 is better than all of you. A hollowed out watermelon filled with birdshit is better than all of you. Additionally, yes I am. Secondly, fuck you. I said it initially and you didn't believe it and now that they AI works you're trying to make me have to live like the fucking rest of you and I'm not going to do it you piece of shit."
