[acknowledgetheabsurd]

I beg you, do not forget happiness. Don't forget that even if we are diminished, mutilated, limited, we are made for happiness, and that it is there, every day, at every moment, waiting for us, if we don't stiffen up, if we consent to it.

Maria Casarès to Albert Camus, Correspondance, February 28, 1950 [#219]

A study analyzed the brain activity of military officer cadets and civilians while they were making moral decisions and concluded that the perception of being the author of our actions and their consequences decreases when we follow orders, whether we are civilians or military. Understanding how the brain processes moral responsibility is important because of the implications it can have for ethics, justice, and the psychology of human behavior. Although we can make some decisions freely in our daily lives, a significant part of the choices we make are conditioned by rules established by society or other individuals, which can strongly influence our behaviors. Numerous historical examples and experimental research have shown that restrictions on freedom of choice can lead to behavior that causes serious harm to others. Thus, understanding how people make moral decisions and the neural processes underlying these decisions are critical scientific and societal issues, particularly for a better understanding of wrongdoings.

hey. pspspsps if you see this stop what you're doing and go watch diminish. now. here are the pros:

not a pro but a quick note: this is written. some people believe its real but this is like. a story.

story about grieving guy playing a video game that was a last gift for him. its a rage game. chaos ensues.

unfiction type style without jumpscares. theres still horror but you never are like. shaking/crying about it its just creepy.

as somebody with MAJOR watching block you never get it with this series cause it does just feel like any lets play.

as said its formatted like a lets play and gets the vibe good.

you will get attached to the characters. its unavoidable. yes even the dead ones.

as somebody still in very deep in grief after my dad died, this is a series about grief that gets grief RIGHT. i understood this main character on a personal level it was intense.

there are so many moments that are permanently ingrained in my brain for how fucking insane they are. i have not watched this series in months.

you will be in tears when shit gets sad or intense, yes, but you will also be uncontrollably cackling with glee when things go good.

furry. main character is a grey wolf. his name is apollo

also ten million greek mythology references

quotes under the cut bc this is long

"ooh look menu.. oh! soup of the day, its a.. oh. its literally a soup of the day :D"

"i am going zen mode. *makes jump* mm zen. my name is. zen? z and uh.. *struggling on new jump* two othter letters.. *fails* OH MY G-"

"oh goddamnit its a carrot. of course this is a carrot."

"*trying so hard not to curse.* BULLS. IN MY SOCKS.. ANKLES PERHAPS"

"no dont look at me like that im trying im trying so hard im sorry ok? *man says to character he is piloting in platformer*"

"ive done it to short.. ive done it too far... goldilocks."

"so logically.. it should seem.. the next course of action is to get that gun."

Made a chord chart for ukulele because the ones I found online didn’t have any flat or sharp chords, except it ONLY had Bb chords for some reason. It is designed to fit on a single piece of printer paper in landscape format, and print in black and white. The top right cluster of letters is the most common tuning, I threw the others on there in case it’s useful. I am a beginner at ukulele and originally just made this for myself but I thought I’d share in case someone might find it useful.

Feeling Diminished

.

In a world full of scares

things will add to our cares

and even leave a scar.

.

I'm sure no one needs proof

troubles seldom disappear in a poof

no when they hit, everyone hears the oof.

.

Often we can do no more than smile

we cannot escape to some quiet isle

to be adorned with a magical lei.

.

We must take all our licks,

yes, all the big and nasty little icks

life has chosen to sic.

.
