Will you still be here in five years? Ten? Will you be here in your old age? Are you going to die on this website? Are you really going to let yourself fucking die, in a place like this? For what??? What are you doing?????? Come On!!!!
@arithmoquine@Catnee_@gorilla_wrfre pretty sure this also goes to 50%? not well versed in probability but i would imagine the number of kids and the number of finished families don’t grow at a rate proportional to each other. let me get up and draw a diagram
The tyrant, after a long day of oppressing his people, went to sit down in his chair, satisfied. But he had no idea that the people were participating in a Downfalling (opposite of Uprising). So the chair and floor fell out under him and he fell and died. Provocative, isn't it?
It's like lego. It was thrown together repeatedly. Like it was haphazardly tossed together, then tossed together again, and finally tossed together once more. And then when it was finally assembled, coins and dollar bills flew everywhere, and a satisfying sound played.
It's almost hard to believe that at some point there was a real person who was saying those words. No one is really sure who's saying the words now, but it's difficult to imagine the sort of person who speaks like that.
@ausmacon where's the fanart you're speaking of? i was just musing about women in competitive pokemon a while ago and how it feels like we often aren't taken seriously
You know, there's an old marine tale about a shipper trying to carry a lot of pretty valuable cargo, but in the midst of their voyage they were set upon by pirates and without self-defense they were forced to surrender it all. It's all because their ship wasn't cannon-compliant.
I;'d like to tell you all about the story of the vibrating trees, but this is really no place for that. I'm sorry. If you'd like to hear it, please reach out to me directly or keep up with my later work.
Basically what they were saying is that what we think of as "trauma" is like a sort of abandoned building that the "afflicted" keeps revisiting, seeking some unknown aspect. The sad punchline: there isn't really anything to find.
A friend of mine needed to repeatedly inject herself with a lifesaving drug, but due to needle anxiety she would just put the bandaid on with no injection, to convince herself everything was okay. That lifesaving drug? Fentanyl.
The aliens are presented as having human motivations and we think of them as just humans, which isn't right. Then they're presented as having strange motivations and we think of them like a chaotic force of nature. But that isn't right either.
