can we think without language?

If you give yourself a "little treat", like sugar or a drink or coffee or nicotine or scrolling on your phone, whenever you are stressed, aren't you just training your subconscious to be stressed, by rewarding it with dopamine. Aren't you just training yourself to feel bad

In the “countryside” getting swarmed by bugs because my phone emitting light as I read posts about how I won’t escape the permanent underclass

[Juniper @adesertdryad]

twitter is the digital smoke break thats why its hard to quit even when you know its bad for you

[zugzwung ukigumo @bodenlosig]

I’ve noticed that my friends who are already TT professors/on track to be tend to have pretty “lowbrow” habits, as in watch reality TV and play Nintendo and don’t read many novels, while my friends with good taste are largely half-employed and cursed to wander the earth

Imagine my shock as a neurodivergent teen when I first realized that using large vocabulary and eloquent speech doesn't make you less likely to be misinterpreted, rather it adds an entirely new layer of misinterpretation I had never even realized existed in the form of people thinking you're being snobbish or condescending when you're just trying to be specific

@thelifeoftoad Did you?

[Damn @Damnrules1]

@JaysBurner420 What!

[Dan Baltic @baltic_dan]

One of the big misconceptions is that you need to go on adventures to be a good writer. You need to have life experience and reflect upon it. You need to live a thoughtful life. But experiencing love and death is more important than being a fry cook for the cartels or whatever

[Damn @Damnrules1]

@illumistationn @pnwguerrilla Quite natural I'd say. Only question is where do mixed people like me go.

[Jim Fanara @jimfanara]

Personally I think in a functional society one could be “asleep” or an “NPC” and live a happy and joyful life.

Thats kinda the point.

An intense spiritual awakening or individuation shouldn’t be necessary for everyone.

@iyzebhel What is happening here's? Eni lo persona?

[Damn @Damnrules1]

@b_harrison2081 What did you get?

["D." Fool @FoolOfD]

I'm close to a new job offer but the hiring manager is slightly concerned I'm not outgoing enough. You really need to be doing meth to make it in Corporate America these days. You need to be tweaking.

[Terri @soulmeaning]

People can change, if they are motivated to do so, but usually for their own reasons, and not because someone expects them to.

I have never in my life enjoyed a job that asked me for a resume, the best jobs I’ve ever had liked me and trusted me without question

[The Kate Awakening @kate_awakening]

Have there been any studies into the phenomenon of vocal fry? Because it's everywhere now, I even notice men doing it, and I've developed a pretty strong misophonic reaction towards it that I can't explain. I'm hoping understanding its cause will help lessen my reaction to it.

“Flirting with the world” is super easy when you’re either jacked to the gills on 300mg of caffeine or buzzed off three alcoholic beverages. I would recommend those struggling with the above begin there.
