the more time you spend in active recovery from any given self destructive behavior or addiction the more you understand the common conception of the "relapse" as defined by a broken "streak" to be, like, so bad for one's own well-being that it would be funny if it weren't resulting in just a lot of misery and death
I told my girlfriend to think of quitting vaping as training her endurance by seeing how long she can run before she gets tired, then doing it again and hoping to go further next time. She said it really helped her.
This is the stages of change model, with each circle being a part of the process of growth. You'll notice how relapse is not a failing of the model, or a set back, but an active step in continuing to grow and change. Everytime you relapse, you learn something; maybe a certain time of year is difficult for you. Maybe certain people push you back into the habit. Maybe your other coping skills/replacement habits didn't work how you wanted and you need to strengthen them, or develop new ones. Maybe it's not quite as clear cut and you need to spend the time figuring out what exactly went wrong so you can catch it next time. It doesn't matter the exact lesson, but it's part of the process.
Merry Christmas!
wheres seasons greasons

This came along just as I was bracing myself to leave the house after 5 PM...I will imagine myself as a little bear with a lamp, making the great journey to the Taco Bell down the street....
It's very rare when I say lol that something actually makes me laugh out loud you know… But this Fucking video actually had me cackling
HE STRAIGHT UP TRIED TO SACRIFICE THE GREMLIN CHILD TO THE PIT
I put this in the tags but im going to reblog it outright as well, this video was made with the new Sora ai app thats being rolled out recently. Pretty much any low-quality funny animal video that you see for the next few months will be. That includes any trail footage, security cam footage, or crunchy looking videos like the one above.
If the video is clear, other good tells are if the camera is stable and doesn't track the animals, its most likely ai (or in the case of this video, the cat and the camera stop moving at the same time), or if the animals are moving/acting in a way thats unnatural or illogical. (There's no reason for the pittie to grab the chihuahua and toss him, thats not an action that usually comes naturally to dogs.)
There's an account on Instagram that I follow called showtoolsai who makes a lot of videos going over how to spot ai in videos, and this video was actually one he used as an example. Ai is only going to get better, we need to get better at recognizing it.
Emphasis on the behavior. Most people tend to misunderstand animal behavior in popular videos online (remember that video of the crow that was supposed to be 'helping' a hedgehog across the road that was viral on here a few years ago).
When you see a video of an animal doing something outrageous, ask yourself: Is this animal demonstrating a thought process that can be reasonably expected of this animal?
It's true that a dog might stop at a perceived pit in the middle of a floor! They can see and understand the concept of a hole in the ground.
A few years ago I brought my service dog to an aquarium for the first time, which meant a lot of new experiences for her while she was working. As I stepped into the shark room, I was surprised to feel a tug back on my waist and turn around to see she'd stopped at the threshold. The floor was a literal shark tank, and she thought she was about to walk into water. So she stopped and stared at it just like these dogs. I called her forward, and she took a cautious step, realized it was solid ground, and walked on back to work.
What she wouldn't have done in that situation is grab one of the many toddlers walking by her into the room and throw them to test the floor. She might watch them walk ahead of their own volition and see how it goes for them. Dogs are smart enough to observe actions and outcomes. But a domesticated dog breed isn't thinking, 'woah, that looks dangerous. I don't want to get hurt, but let me just throw someone else into the abyss and see what happens.'
If this video had no AI tells whatsoever (there are some people point out in the comments), my next step would've been to check the page that posted it. I would expect a skilled animal trainer, someone doing the sort of animal work that's employed by film studios, who painstakingly trained all three animals to participate in this as a sketch.
It is true that every day animals exhibit behaviors that blow us away in their intelligence, uniqueness, and even their absurdity. But if you watch a pet video in which a pet appears to do something unbelievable as this, and it's not clearly a trainer's project, look closer.
Anyway here's Little Bird after I heartlessly led her into a tank of sharks
