there should be multiple-day event premieres for video games where you can go to a theater and watch a new game be played live in tolerable sections with intermissions etc. if i were an indie dev i would rent a venue for this. i keep thinking the absurd thought about really good playthroughs, "i wish i had seen this in the theater"

the purpose of friends is to have people who unconditionally hate your shitty exes & relatives. like maybe YOU have a complex relationship with your father but i sure don't. i'm outside his house with a gun. he's not the unforgivable asshole who raised me he's just an unforgivable asshole
it's important to talk about how pop psychology sucks ass. but that shouldn't distract you from also talking about how Serious, Official, Legitimate Psychology also sucks ass.
major issues with psychology/psychiatry as it currently exists:
- an insistence on viewing different mental types through the lens of "illnesses" that need to be "treated"- it's obvious that different people have minds that work in different ways, but instead of trying to understand the different advantages and disadvantages of different mental states, and trying to help each person reach their full potential with the mind they have, psychology/psychiatry imagines a hypothetical person who's way of thinking never hinders them in any way, and then treats everyone who doesn't fit this imagined model as Sick. because every single person will always have certain situations where their style of thinking hinders them, psychology increasingly pathologizes more and more mindsets and behaviors. in pop psychology this reaches the absurd endpoint of claiming "everyone is mentally ill to some degree", but ultimately this is just an overt stating of what's implied in Legitimate Psychology.
- an over-focus on neurology which ignores obvious social/memetic factors. you'll see someone who falls into right-wing conspiracy theory hysteria, with the flat earth and the reptilians and so forth, get diagnosed as "schizophrenic", and there's an assumption that it's something innate to their neurology that led them to these beliefs, but like, if you look at the mechanisms of what's occurring when someone adopts these sort of beliefs, the primary thing that's happening is they're getting indoctrinated into an ideology by a group. maybe there are certain neurological factors which led them to be more vulnerable to that, but if you're trying to "treat" them by treating beliefs they were indoctrinated into by other people as though they sprung forth fully formed from their "schizophrenic neurology" then you're missing at least 80% of the picture.

"Being bi means all the attraction you feel is gay" NOT ME. All my attraction is not only hetero, it's hetero in the most off-putting way possible. I like men in the fetishistic yaoi fangirl way and I like women in the creepy mouth-breathing guy in your workplace way

You might think your anime opening is cool, but is it “seamlessly put a ‘previously on…’ segment in the MIDDLE of the opening and have it kick ass every time” cool?
bet your ass he is

Most anti phone advice is so inane and regurgitated to me but one thing I’ve been thinking about for days is “social media is okay, but the real danger comes in when you think your phone should be your go to during your limited pockets of leisure” like that’s literally the truest thing ever
