I Am Begging Everybody, Fucking Begging Them, To Slow The Fuck Down And Fucking Look Things Up. Right

I am begging everybody, fucking begging them, to slow the fuck down and fucking look things up. Right now, there are a lot of people who are making money off of creating headlines that are meant to make you mad, and it's going to get worse as we get closer to the election.

If someone tells you that there's a secret conspiracy to [do a thing you don't like] and that it's unique to Biden, you better fucking look that thing up, because chances are you're going to find that it's been happening under every administration for the last 50 years. Is that good? No! Should you want to change it? Probably! Is it a unique crime to Biden? Nope!

"Biden said [bad thing] [X] years ago." Well, this bad thing he said happens to be true, but it looks like it was 45 years ago, and he changed his stance 40 years ago. "Biden said [other bad thing] [Y] years ago." What's the source on that? So there's one person who says he said it? And nobody else who was there has corroborated that account? Who posted the story?

These are all random examples of things I've seen over the last couple of weeks, with the details slightly changed from the Tumblr posts and news articles I've seen, because the point isn't the details of the particular story, so I don't want to get bogged down in particulars that don't matter to the point I'm making.

The point of this post isn't the specific things I'm referencing but the fact that in each of these cases, the reality was not what was initially presented. Either the reality was wildly different, or this story can't be corroborated and was told by someone with a clear and very well-known agenda of their own, which means that at the very least, the story should be treated with extreme suspicion.

And on that note, please don't believe that because you're a leftist that you can't be radicalized in the same way that right-wingers are. You aren't immune to propaganda either. I'm not saying you have to like, or should like, any particular politician or political entity. I am saying, however, that you should view a lot of the news with a gimlet eye, and that goes double for anything that makes you real fucking mad.

You need - need - to stop and read the whole article and ask yourself if you can verify the claims and who benefits from this making you mad.

Please. For the sake of the people around you who have to patiently explain to you that you've gotten fucking bamboozled again by propaganda if for no other reason. We're all very tired of you thinking that leftists can't be propagandized.

Like genuinely. It’s always ideal of course if you can know who you are and what you’re after at a younger age, but if you’re not going to figure that all out in high school, which you probably won’t, your twenties are the PERFECT time to be truly beginning your life. Who the hell is calling people who might have just moved out of their parents’ house a couple years ago “old”?

legitimately the deluge of messaging women/girls are subjected to all their lives about how their teens and twenties are their "best years" is heinous psychic terrorism on a mass scale. not a coincidence that women are primed to believe that they're going to be "past their prime" and deteriorating like fucking spoiled milk right at a point in their lives at which they're likely to be only just beginning to truly come into their own

Nah, I like Fahrenheit for the same reason that I like metric, nice, clean cut factors of 10. And yes, it is better for the human experience. Of course people from different areas experience temperature differently, but not so differently that 100 degrees Celsius is just “working up quite a sweat” to any human alive. The whole 0-100 scale is usable in Fahrenheit, with Celsius, you’re pushing it as soon as you get to 50. The one thing I like about Celsius is 0 being the freezing point, Fahrenheit having the freezing point at 32 isn’t exactly intuitive and I don’t need to have been raised with Celsius to see that. I also don’t need to have been raised with Metric to know it’s better for measurements than the Imperial units I grew up with.

Fahrenheit’s better. I’d preface that, and this whole comment, with how it’s just my opinion and all, but frankly I don’t feel the need to be polite when the first and only thing I’ve read from you is you being so pissy with people like me for something so minor as what fucking temperature scale I prefer

americans are like fuck america until it’s time for fahrenheit-celsius discourse 😒 then you mfs basically pull out the pledge of alliance 😒 like ok fourth of july. didn’t know units of measurement had oil 😒

The 6 main elements plus Void and Light I think

I know you've posted about this before but it's really impressive how you've been able to make all 8 elements visually distinct enough that you can always tell at a glance which one is being used and how. lots of magic systems just kinda devolve into DragonBall beam attacks after a while

one of the best ways i’ve found to combat that inherent depressive pessimism without veering into toxic positivity territory is simply the phrase “i’m open to the possibility”

this particularly works with anything negative i’ve forecasted. “i woke up feeling like shit today, so my day is gonna suck” isn’t a particularly helpful thought, but “it’s a great day to be alive!!!!!” feels hollow and insincere when i have a pounding headache & am running on three hours of sleep

instead i’ll tell myself, “i really don’t feel good right now, but i’m open to the possibility that coffee and breakfast might perk me up a bit.” or “i’m in a lot of pain today, but i’m open to the possibility that my workday might still have fun parts despite that”

sometimes, when your impulse is to slam the door on anything good, but you’re not exactly up to going out & hunting it down yourself, leaving the door open just a crack makes all the difference
