karvina

not really sure how to get her out though

karvina

for those of you asking why i pushed her into the pool in the first place: i work for a duplicitous small town aquarium and i'm trying to kidnap mermaids to jump through hoops and shit to entertain tourists and make money. fucking obviously. now that i know she's actually a mosasaurus though i Have fallen in pure-hearted love with her

no-dopamine baddies approaching every single list of tasks like "which of these things will cause the most amount of personal suffering to me if left undone"

guess who just read yet another list of "tools to combat decision paralysis" that was mostly reward-based and got mad

hey this is really insightful. do you have any advice about identifying the linchpin task? i mean obviously "think about it really hard" might be all there is to it. basically i think this concept is good and would welcome more commentary from you, if you have more to add

the trouble is that Thinking (or at least applying the Talking Brain to the task) is counterproductive here, because that's the voice going "we need to clean the kitchen, why aren't we cleaning the kitchen??" and in these circumstances, giving that sector of the mind more oversight won't help.

it is necessary instead to sit down and kinda try and quiet that voice, and then start with considering my physical needs, kinda mentally run through the maslow's pyramid from bottom to top as if I'm dealing with a little kid throwing a tantrum. like, did we sleep last night? have we had lunch? am I lonely? should I call my aunt? do I want to finish the book I've been reading? do I want to boil chicken bones today? what's bothering me? I'll then try out a couple of things that seem likely and while they may not be The Thing it's useful to build momentum anyways.

but like, if I give it space, the answer will float upwards into view and it's usually something I've been putting off for a long-ass time.

and it'll sound So Stupid to the Talking Mind, who has important tasks that it's trying to get done, but we're going to tell that voice that the kitchen will wait while we take down the Christmas tree, fold the laundry that's been in the basket for a week, sketch the idea, call my aunt, whatever it is, and inevitably the Linchpin Task will take about half an hour, and once it's done I can feel the weight lifted off my shoulders.

Linchpin Tasks are sometimes that it's time to deal with The Emotions At The Bottom Of The Pile, which is when a pile of stuff builds up to cover whatever is at the bottom being emotionally fraught. (letters, the shirt I wore the day my grandpa died, y'know, The Emotions)

I've gotten better at identifying when those piles are starting to accrete and dealing with them before they get bad, but like, you gotta be able to identify the pile of stuff your eyeballs keep slipping off because it feels too emotionally difficult to deal with right now, and like, learning to ignore the part of the mind that wants to assign task priority levels is a counter-intuitive way to get things done.

I hope this makes sense. basically, when it comes to doing stuff, do the thing that's most emotionally fraught first, especially if you can come up with a bunch of excuses to not do it.

its crazy how Steven Spielberg is just about single-handedly responsible for basically all of the most dangerous pro-war propaganda made in American history that directly led to the attitudes surrounding the global war on terror which extend into our present bare-faced fascist government worshiping martial force above all else.

>releases Saving Private Ryan in 1998

>completely deranged movie that re-invented the mythology of WWII and forged it into a spectacle of righteous bloodshed

>has a character whose arc is completed by overcoming his resistance to gunning down unarmed, surrendering enemy prisoners

>whole thing is sheathed in uber-sentimental Spielbergisms about the duty and honor and sacrifice and shit

>Sets up Dreamworks Interactive

>Produces Medal of Honor, released 1999

>invents the genre-form of the military shooter and, again, slathers it in rousing sentimental justice and honor and shit

>In 2001, releases Band of Brothers, which he "created" and produced alongside Tom Hanks

>show all about camaraderie, and soldiers' duties to one another, about the bonds they form and the resilience these relationship provide these men in the face of the difficulty of what they must do, that being the war

>each of these stories are essentially about the burdened masculine duty of warfare, doing the difficult thing that must be done, the honor and dignity and sacrifice in the only war we've ever had that was ethically justifiable because of the the universal aggression of the axis forces

>makes the perfect case for why, sometimes, in the face of a truly great evil, warfare is just, and righteous, and men can choose to do it out of goodness, to protect that which they love, and that there is immense, heightened beauty in this love during war the likes of which nobody but a warrior can truly understand

>the first episode of Band of Brothers airs on September 9th, 2001

>In 2002, after working on and releasing Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault, 22 members of Dreamworks Interactive start their own studio

>In 2003, they release their first game

>it's titled Call of Duty

YOU ‼️Understand completely! The wave he was riding at the time was so influential, so institutional, so powerful, that he completely re-defined the concept we have of what WWII looked like. Just the landing sequence changed America's vision of warfare. Each of its constituent parts were immediately parodied and, just as quickly, turned into genre tropes. Hacksaw Ridge is a movie I was sort of disgusted by. Nominally, it's about praising the nobility of a pacifist during wartime. But it was directed by Mel Gibson, who is a crazy pig, so it tries to have its cake and eat it too with gleefully reveling in the cartoonish destruction of human bodies. The pornographic quality of men being hacked apart with mines and mortars and machinegun fire, to behold their misery, is something cut from Saving Private Ryan whole cloth. But in Hacksaw Ridge, Gibson, in his worship of the spectacle of warfare, his jubilant bloodlust, even lifts the somewhat infamous detail of a flamethrower specialist having his fuel tank explode when it's struck by incoming fire. Somewhat infamous because it's now generally agreed upon that they can't explode like that. Much like everything else in that sequence, it is a theatrical fabrication to pull the audience into feeling certain ways, resting on an illusion of authenticity. Now that's just how people imagine the war. The spectacle of misery and brutality is what people expect. It's entertainment. It's pornographic. Americans can't cum unless they see a young man writhe on the ground in agony begging for his mommy. And then Spielberg's movie ends with his decadent, deep-fried sentimentality stating "well all that human suffering and loss of life was 100% worth it. No notes. Bye." This is a 30-year track we were set on by Spielberg. This was crucial for everything that happened, for the specific culture of veneration that sprang up around our military during the global war on terror. This is like a parasite he designed in a lab to inject into our brains and kill the country from within. He just completely, fundamentally changed the way America thinks about warfare. And that's before we even get into him inventing the military shooter! He's responsible for fucking CALL OF DUTY coming around. This dumbfuck, in all his talent, attempting to venerate the sacrifice and glory of The Greatest Generation, created the most fatal cultural time bombs anyone has ever made, specifically because he designed them to be so agreeable. Because of his domestic sentimentality.

To substantiate on OP's claim, Spielberg even desired to make a COD movie.

We almost got a Steven Spielberg Call of Duty movie, but according to a new report, Activision just couldn't go through with it.

i respect ppl who think frodo & sam were sucking & fucking constantly when the narrator wasn't looking. but personally i think the furthest they went was an awkward attempt at mutual handjobs one night in mordor which started as sam trying to do something anything that'd make frodo feel good & frodo insisted on doing it for sam too & sam closed his eyes & tried to imagine it was rosie cotton while frodo tried to remember the shire or focus on the texture of sam's rough hand or the unyielding heat in his own grip or think about anything other than the great burning wheel & neither of them succeeded. & frodo never got fully hard & eventually pushed sam's hand away but kept going & sam felt like he had failed & part of him wanted to push frodo's hand away too but instead he came harder than he had ever in his life & they never talked about it again

oh. I didnt realize "anti psych" meant, like, deconstructing the social hegemony of psychiatry. I said I was anti psyche because I believe in systematically destroying the soul
