the mind is nothing but a playing of the body

  • they're modeled after a heien period beauty standard noblewomen did called 'hikimayu' (shaving the brows and painting on your own). I'm anime these brows are often put on characters to confer royalty or a haughty demeanor

  • wow lol this... actually kinda tracks

  • i've watched an enormous amount of anime, you're not missing anything. imo the best theme of 'frieren' was better explored in the series 'violet evergarden'

  • thanks to Bobby, I am now aware of something called felching

    this is the worst thing I've ever read

  • i dunno if i like the premise but Gilligan's delivered twice and the dramatic beats are there. I'm having enough fun and've stopped trying to guess where this thing might be going.

  • but do you like anime

  • would you consider/are you able to try exercising for your mental health? i am bringing it up because i also have anxiety/add and recently used it to drag myself from the deepest pit i've ever dipped into.

    ::: spoiler why i did runnin

    I've had add/anxiety since my teens. i have been on a handful of different antidepressants (prozac, wellbutrin, effexor, zoloft, adderol. i did get relief from the meds but i also never felt like myself, never felt ok on em, like crutches for a broken leg they only made it so i could barely function.

    i started running (i hate running) and i got better relief (immediate relief) from my mean ol brain than any drug has ever given me.

    i hate running but it seems to be the only thing that calms the headmeat. it's actually been pretty incredible, it ain't all roses but even though i hate running i like that i fall asleep better, agonize less, and generally the pits and troughs're higher


    i hate running.

  • pretending your question wasn't rhetorical, i figger cuz they've actually never had therapy and their understanding of what it is comes from the media they consume

  • i usually go backwards, thinking "what do i definitely not want to eat". i'll start with obvious things i hate (hot cottage cheese) to get the mental/'gestive juices flowin until i accidentally hit in something that sounds kinda good.

    yup. i do this. no joke incoming, just an inane mendiCAN fact. thank you for listening

  • all schoolboys were once obsessed with Hitler

    so its prop, but i am a fan of effective communication and this just seems... not.

    everyone knows that words often carry more info than the speaker intends, yeah? how does one write this and not think to oneself 'this assertion is basically admitting i was obsessed with Hitler.'

    unlike say, the prop i'm used to where an alternate truth is peddled, pointing an accusatory finger at the reader for their own suffering and then turning their heads towards blaming whatever they like (super effective!), this lead starts out with a lie most readers would push back on, setting reader up on the defense instead of priming them to agree with your argument.

    i'm just confused i guess cuz assuming stupidity in enemies is an easy trap to fall into, so i'm lookin for what I'm missing that makes this prop piece useful as prop.

    could it be that this piece was not written for me? is the author talking over me? much like WSJ speaks to its readers as if proles weren't in the room, is this piece just for the hitler enjoyers?

    i need to understand the point of this

  • rom my experience it doesn't help at all long term. much like booze you can get relief using it for a moment but, just like alcohol sometimes it doesn't help at all or makes it worse instead.

    negatives outta the way it's an easy high with easy withdrawal, so if you're in need of a crutch for a bit you could do a lot worse.

    I've done lots of drugs and this is just my experience as an afficionado. ymmv


  • i'm happy you made it to safety

    i hope you're having a good day

  • bettin the sarlac is a pretty good digger, im not up on sarlac lore but i always assumed they dig their own pits. why would you even want to fill the pit? the sarlac is only a threat if you go to it's pit (or i guess if you had a sarlac infestation in your yard that would be bad)

  • i like you too Dorty, thanks for posting

  • figured as much, thanks for extracting the most relevant bit.

  • Of course, no-one anywhere is wearing a mask and people are coughing all over each other.

    i have a cold and working the register yesterday this 60-70 something lady kept telling me 'i can't hear you' while miming pulling down a mask and her lie made me want to cough on her and thinking about it still makes me feel

    a little upset

  • yeah uhh and i'm not a comic person but even i know he was created by Stan Lee long before Elon was a thing... like 70s 80s during Vietnam. am i missing something? is movie stark considered separate from comics stark? is this actually a good troll by Elon for once?
