i have this like whole rant/theory on how digital kiosk and mobile food orders becoming the food industry standard is a direct result of older generation's insistence on 'politeness culture' and emotional punishment for failing at social interaction rules they created turning an entire younger generation of people into socially anxious messes who actively avoid human to human interaction because of being afraid to fail at arbitrary rules made to set them up to fail and now older gens are facing the repercussion of creating this new digitally-anxious era because they don't fucking know how to use technology and are being left behind because of it. and corporations don't care because less man labor means less cost and so now old ppl lash out at younger generations for being so tech addicted but the reason this even happened is because they made a world so hostile that the kids born into it had few other options than to withdraw completely less they get battered

but idk whateevrrrr

I'm not a psychology researcher, but my guess would be that the nature of it being a time-limited puzzle game where you have to juggle multiple factors means that your short-term memory gets filled and the traumatic images are "dumped" in favor of remembering how many times to rotate the L piece. "As soon as possible" is probably because the sooner you do it, the less likely it is to become part of your long-term memory.

If that is true, then other time-limited activities where you have to remember and plan in a tight time frame may serve a similar purpose.

[cryptic-ink]

This can have an effect hours after the traumatic event happens too! All participants were treated within about 6 hours and played for a total of 20 minutes of Tetris (with at least one play time of 10 minutes straight).

Here are the links given in the screenshot:

Tetris has been proposed as a preventive intervention to reduce intrusive memories of a traumatic event. However, no neuroimaging study has

No, I'm not kidding. And no one knows how or why it works. But it Does work, and I encourage you to remember it. Lest people think I'm kidding: (insert links shown above)." End ID.

it also made me very sad at one point one of the kids said her dad was being hateful towards drag queens and that he had a very skewed/incorrect view of what a drag queen was and wouldnt listen to her and told her she was “too naive” when she tried to explain

and i replied “if i remember correctly when youre at this age it seems adults will wave off any of your life experiences even if they lack their own because they refuse to see those younger than them as their own people” and EVERY SINGLE KID AT THE TABLE turned and said EXACTLY

and i was like. oh. so i wasnt alone in that. but also. i dont have to BE that. im not doing that. im listening and actually talking to them. i hope that there are older people in their life doing the same.

um. i dont know how to say. please listen to the children in your life. its true sometimes youll know better but, often times they have perspectives we may miss and dismissing them hurts everyone in the end. we have so much we can share and learn together.

The subtitles of the new Puss in Boots are SO BAD. Literally every single instance of anyone saying anything in Spanish, even just a single word, is replaced with [speaking Spanish].

There is a character who throughout most of the movie is known as Perro or Perrito and even that gets replaced with [speaking Spanish]. So a deaf person watching this movie would have NO IDEA what the other characters were calling him!! It’s ridiculous.

Anyway here’s an srt file with accurate Spanish that I made. Enjoy.

Back in 2015, Mindy Kaling was on the Conan Show joking about how she “spontaneously” (without his consent) kissed actor Lee Pace on the set of her show the Mindy Project. When her producers warned her she could get sued for sexual harassment, she told them “tell anyone and you’re fired” (direct quote at 1:50 in this video)

There’s also this video from 2012 (also on the Conan Show) where she admits to using tongue during scripted kisses (which is generally frowned upon), actually calls what she does sexual harassment, and then says that no one will report her because they’re scared of repercussions (this happens towards the end of the video)

Now, in 2023, she is using Velma (the show she is the executive producer and lead voice actor for) to make fun of the #MeToo movement (source) which on its own is shitty, but given her past actions makes it so much worse

The legacies people leave behind in you.

My handwriting is the same style as the teacher’s who I had when I was nine. I’m now twenty one and he’s been dead eight years but my i’s still curve the same way as his.

I watched the last season of a TV show recently but I started it with my friend in high school. We haven’t spoken in four years.

I make lentil soup through the recipe my gran gave me.

I curl my hair the way my best friend showed me.

I learned to love books because my father loved them first.

How terrifying, how excruciatingly painful to acknowledge this. That I am a jigsaw puzzle of everyone I have briefly known and loved. I carry them on with me even if I don’t know it. How beautiful.

Ramadan is in a week [mosque emoji] A super simple thread for anyone who wants to learn more about it and support their Muslim friends/colleagues who are fasting [down arrow emoji] 1. Ramadan happens once a year and lasts around 30 days 2. We follow the lunar calendar which is why it starts earlier each year (shifts by around 11 days) 3. It's a month for spiritual discipline and it helps us feel grateful for what we have 4. We fast from sunrise to sunset and yup: "not even water" (around 16hrs of fasting this year) 5. It's not just about abstaining from food/drink but also about charity and practicing patience and kindness 6. It means a lot to us when you wish us a "Happy Ramadan/Ramadan Mubarak" 7. We don't mind being around people eating/drinking so don't feel the need to apologise 8. Our sleeping hours/caffeine intake changes so we might seem tired. We don't expect to get special treatment while fasting but it would be kinder to check our preference for meeting hours 9. Ramadan is tough during lockdown - this is our second Ramadan during this pandemic and it can feel lonely and isolating as we can't see family/friends and the days feel longer. Do check on your Muslim friends/colleagues during this month 10. No question is a bad question, we love talking about Ramadan and are happy to answer any questions people have. The week before Ramadan is all about getting ready for it. Ramadan Mubarak to everyone [raised hands emoij] End ID]

This isnt a joke my favorite piece of writing advice that I’ve ever seen is someone that said if you were stuck with a fic and couldn’t figure out why or what was wrong, your problem is actually usually about ten sentences back. Maybe there was something wonky about the tone or the dialogue or you added something that didn’t fit but it’s usually ten sentences back. And every single time I get stuck in a fic I count back ten sentences and it’s always fucking there

there's something so compelling about stories where a character's virtues intensify into flaws that lead to their downfall. loyalty and love becoming so all-consuming that compassion outside of them ceases to exist. duty overwhelming any moral compass until order becomes more important than justice. selflessness so intense it becomes self-destruction. let me watch while whatever saved the hero in the beginning destroys them. let me see them fall to their own worst impulses disguised as what once made them good.
