AAA video game publisher voice: "Look. The goose layed a golden egg, and that's nice! Everyone loved that egg. But keeping the golden goose means paying for bird feed and I don't want to, so I killed the goose."

#‘that goose keeps laying golden eggs. that’s stagnation. I’m going to kill it and go look for a goose that lays diamond eggs’#‘that goose normally lays golden eggs but this time it laid a silver egg. I’m going to kill it because even though I can still make good#money with that it’s not as good as a golden egg’#‘that golden egg laying goose only lays an egg once a day instead of constantly shitting them out. I don’t care that golden eggs take time#if they’re not constant the goose is worthless to me’

“progressive” men when a woman is deemed evil enough that they can call her a bitch 24/7:

[toastyglow]

me when I'm feeling bad: all feelings are temporary. I can be present for this one, acknowledge what it's trying to do for me, observe its fluctuations, and watch it ebb after it finally peaks. next time, it will be easier to process. it is so important to allow emotional energy to flow.

[toastyglow]

my brain and body: actually holding onto this feeling is causing the same discomfort and anxiety you get when you're struggling to process a negative emotion, so you really should--

me: This Too Had Better Shan't Fucking Pass 🔫
