Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong Nou and Planescape Torment. I think both helped me think about death and reincarnation - what would it even mean to have a “soul”? Would it mean some sort of unbroken consciousness, or are we bits and pieces of different segmented ideas and thoughts loosely connected together?

Therapists are treated like they’re supposed to be miracle workers. You’re experiencing some sort of mental health struggle? Just go see a therapist, because they know how to make your mind magically better. If it doesn’t work, it’s because you aren’t trying hard enough.

I spent years and thousands on therapy to realize that my problem is that I have zero support system, and have been always viewed as disposable by my family. I’m awkward, probably autistic, but was born female so never got diagnosed - just tortured in the “troubled teen industry.” I’m queer, so I’m not really a human being where I live.

Therapy doesn’t fix those things.

So when the AI bubble burst, will there be coding jobs available to clean up the mess?

The courts ordered many of those people fired by DOGE cuts to be returned to their jobs.

This is a way to starve those people out in a way that the courts can’t intervene.

Trump is also talking about an “invasion from within.” This is “obey when we tell you to kill American civilians.”

He literally mentioned turning the military on cities earlier during the rambling speech he’s giving right now, in between talking about the quality of paper he likes and complaining about not getting a Nobel prize, because people are apparently shooting firefighters off ladders.

There’s an interpretation that she did it in purpose to get away from her controlling mother. Kinda like that version.

The only part of the religion that matters is the part that lets them treat women as sex slaves anyways.

Sometimes teenagers ask me about how the stock market works.

I love explaining shorts, because the reaction is always “how does that even make sense?”

The Handmaid’s Tale (it’s kinda funny how both you and a commenter replying to you misspell the name in two different ways) is going for a “The Lady or the Tiger” ending. Do you believe that Nick is actually part of the Resistance, or is he part of the state secret police? The narrative tricked us a little with the “relationship” between Offred and the Commander - can we trust anyone at all?

The epilogue also gives the narrative some verisimilitude. It’s pretending to be a historical document - how would the world post-Gilead react to accounts of what happened to women during Gilead? How would you interact with the Diary of Anne Frank if you didn’t know that she was killed in the camps?

I fail to see how it’s similar to “The Mist” here.

Every single mass shooter has been claimed to be trans by Alex Jones for the past like 3 years. Before any evidence is out, 4chan posters will find a random trans persons social media profile, grab pictures and post them claiming they are the shooter. They claim that psych meds (like anti depressants) and hormones fuck with your head in a way that makes you crazy and wanting to shoot people.

This shit is on purpose to inspire dumbasses like this guy.

The same people who provided this as “evidence” of the ICE shooters ideology.

 
 
 
 

I’m not seeing any mainstream media coverage. They’re trying to pass this off as a suicide.
