@cadalllane @DogsDogsMoreDog @manifestingtoo @theereal_one The study that found white people don’t move out of the way or the one that found they view anyone not white as an object? Since you won’t link it, I wanna make sure I find the right article to support your viewpoint when I do my research
depression is literally just this:
> usually, you can take actions to make your life better or worse. they've got some positive or negative score attached. you'll always be trying to take the "best one" (ie. highest score)
> there *is* some small cost associated with taking an action, but it's usually relatively insignificant
> when you're depressed, all the scores are diminished. bad things stop seeming as bad, and good things stop seeming as good -- all directions are roughly equal
> so, it stops becoming worthwhile to do *anything*, as the marginal cost outweighs the reward. you simply stay put
and, that's it.
(note: this isn't because you *misjudge* the value -- things are actually just worth less. it's not a lack of motivation to do "fun things", "fun things" just become less enjoyable)

Gatekeepers are often super supportive, you just have to answer their riddles three correctly

Just horrific
@The2wheelterror@TheMcKenziest@Valdark2 What leads a smart man such as yourself to verify an anonymous account? You had to make sure everyone knows you’re ACTUALLY nobody?
@The2wheelterror@TheMcKenziest@Valdark2 Oh shit here comes Semantic Sally, here to tell you why your use of a word was wrong so he doesn’t have to tell you the reason the point your word made is wrong
It is lowkey my fault for only just realizing this is implied by a heavily female cast and I just assumed all female cast meant we’re gonna focus on interpersonal dynamics with women that don’t center around men (like it is in the west); no, it’s usually an excuse to tease yuri
So like
Is all anime ecchi?
Or does crunchyroll keep recommending me only ecchi?
It just feels like no matter how slice of life, how innocent, they can’t help but show shots of boobs and butts
at a fucking police station in berlin rn for riding w no train ticket. the bureaucracy is so absurd that i muttered something about kafka being german and this being kafkaesque and the cop was straight up like “ya this is very kafkaesque” w an *obviously* shrug. im in hell.
