Maybe inverse thinking for you could be tempering all that with what might go right and leveraging that as a way to honor both the negative and positive capabillities of your mind.
You’re telling me you couldn’t literally just reverse whatever your pessimistic insights were as a thought experiment and find a way to take both into consideration to inform your final approch or strategy for whatever is at issue?
The best way I’ve come across to illustrate this is
Hope/ideate for the best but plan or mitigate the worst
How could this go wrong; tell me where I’m going to die so I can avoid thar
Maybe you watched an episode of a TV show that does not exist. Or you thought a secret boss in a video-game. Or even found a loophole in the physics of reality that does not actually work.
Not sure if it was a fever dream but probably more opiod medication related…
Its some combination of the following
some cartoon wedding segment
South Park?
there’s like a wedding song that gets cut off but it sort of sounds like this but its like an organ and I’m saying that because its possible I was playing that game a little while South Park was playing in background
its only like a 3-4 second motif and I feel like it plays a few times throughout
structurally its conjunct and it starts on the tonic,

Im learning just keep all the toolchain stuff to myself cuz i dont care enough to change people. Got enough to change about me.
I voted up cuz there’s is a super non-robus line inherent to this platform where i get down for the most mundane random shit. Like either people have a sense of humor or they freak the fuck out and dont even comment but simply downvote
Honestly, i dont blame you for posting, i blame the OP for creating an instant divide, the tenor of what he requests is “jokey” the he added space for the downer stuff.
Don’t get me wrong you guys have valid points but its just annoying that everything is blended into one. That’s poor form on the part of the OP, I hope theg see this and do better.
You’re aftually fine, we shouldn’t need to fight here and I take ownership of my part in that, but you can see from my history i interpreted this (OP’s post) as a prompt for funny and lighthearted stuff. If I want the issues and problems and dissatisfactions, I will click on a discrete post about same. Its silly to ask for both in one megapost, everybody’s gonna be pissed about having to deal with the opposing side
Thanks and sorry for any misunderstanding/sass on my part
Edit: this is a great example of powerful people setting the agenda and framing things in a monolithic+inappropos way to get the little people fighting and “downvoting”/reducing each other like lobsters in a bucket when we could realize we can knock the bucket over and kill the asshole who set up the bucket that way and take over Crab-People style
I think it would be more helpful for knowledgeable conservatives to stop engaging in bad faith campaigns like “Wokeism” whatever the fuck that is. Its called
Don’t be a fucking [raging] asshole, be a decent neighbor and person and all concern from every side regarding wokeism will evaporate.
Edit: also, drop the stupid “War on Christmas” horseshit. Donald Trump formally won that war, so sayeth him and Fox News. Move out, boys, that task force/cultural narrative can be safely put to bed. Fuck
That cant be real—holy shit. Thats worse than picking on kids that dont have an iPhone™️ or any phone or don’t have “the blue bubbles” from using iMessage (which nobody should ever use honestly)
