If I could freeze time, I would honestly use it to just have as much time to do nothing as I wanted without missing out on real time events. I wouldn’t even use it for anything else
I just want to exist for awhile. No demands, no stress, no desire for food or water, no life or death. Just exist for awhile in my own little universe devoid of time.
I’m sure it doesn’t work that way and I’d get bored of it eventually but I wonder what it would be like to have that level of freedom, if only for a few moments.
Google got in trouble recently for running ads on these videos. Advertisers would pay for a YouTube ad and it would only run on these random videos in the corner of the screen on click bait websites.
This bad boy can fit so many fucking Canadas in it
We’ve got: New England Canada, North Atlantic Canada, Mid Atlantic Canada, Florida Canada, Gulf Coast Canada, Rust Belt Canada, Midwest Canada, Southern Canada, California Canada, and All The Rest Canada.
I’ve been realizing lately that it might be from ADHD - along with many other symptoms. Hoping to get diagnosed next year, and hopefully I won’t waste quite so much time just quietly stressing out.
Yes, medicated. Since committing to medication I’ve really pulled it together. I went off meds for a while in my late 20s and good lord did I set myself back. Getting ready in the morning is still a wild ride, but if I do everything as similarly as possible it helps.
Edit: sorry to say the medication does not fix my time blindness. I am an aggressive user of my work calendar and phone reminders.
Most symptoms of the “milder” mental disorders (depression, anxiety, adhd, etc.) are things that everyone experiences at some point in their lives.
It’s the degree of experience, frequency, and impact that differentiate the two. Also, when those symptoms don’t have an environmental/situational/logical cause.
For example, being too anxious to go out with friends, or compulsively checking that the stove is off even though you know damn well it hasn’t been turned on in a month. Also, being sad because your pet died isn’t a mental disorder like clinical depression.
The line between the two is definitely fuzzy, but psychology is a super complex topic.
This is also, generally speaking, the line between, say, having obsessive compulsions and having OCD. So if anyone is looking for a way express “haha, I’m totally ocd” without sounding dismissive of people with a serious disorder, just say “sometimes I have obsessive compulsions”. That would imply it’s nothing serious.
Same for PTSD. It’s ok to experience post-traumatic stress after something “rather banal”, like I don’t know, seeing a stranger break their leg. And calling post-traumatic stress is fine. Just don’t say “that baby on the airplane gave me ptsd.” That’s quite dismissive.
Anyone that needs help, go get it. Don’t let that your problem feels banal be an impediment. If something is impacting your life negatively, tune it up.
The feminist Revolution came and told women that they didn’t have to be constrained to feminine roles. That they were allowed to Define themselves based on their own merits and desires, not just those of society and her husband.
The masculinist revolution… never happened at all and I just made it up…
Simple mode in chrome, reading mode (not sure if that’s an extension actually) in firefox. Whatever addon you need to just show the text without the ads. Works on most sites
That one somehow isn’t as weird. I guess it’s because the 100 years since WW1 was fairly recently and obviously everyone who was over 50 at the time was born closer to WW1 than today.
We know. WWII was a pretty ever-present event in culture back then. Lots of movies and TV shows about it, and of course all of our grandparents fought in WWII.
Yup. My kids are learning about it in school, and they regard it about how we regarded the civil war. Like dude, that was really fucked up, but it was a long time ago.
Well it turns out it wasn’t that long ago, and now we’ve had an insurrection in your lifetime so, …probably some good lessons in there.
