Kites Rise higher @thisaintyerdadsblog - Tumblr Blog

this is the funniest fucking thing i have ever seen in my life

I remember first learning that you can cry from any emotion, that emotions are chemical levels in your brain and your body is constantly trying to maintain equilibrium. so if one emotion sky rockets, that chemical becomes flagged and signals the tear duct to open as an exit to release that emotion packaged neatly within a tear. Everything made sense after learning that. That sudden stability of your emotions after crying. How crying is often accompanied by the inability to feel any other emotion in that precise moment. And it is especially beautiful knowing that it is even possible to experience so much beauty or love or happiness that your body literally can’t hold on to all of it. So what I’ve learned is that crying signifies that you are feeling as much as humanely possible and that is living to the fullest extent. So keep feeling and cry often and as much as needed

Also let yourself cry. It really is a biochemical release valve to dump out all the chemicals that make you feel stuff.

I honestly think one reason men in western culture have so many problems is that we don’t let them cry, and literally their brains get stuffed with all this crap that doesn’t have a release valve. Men, please cry. You’ll feel better. It’s ok. You are not lesser for taking care of your health.

This is why tears from different emotions look different under an electron microscope. They’re literally made up of different things.

Happy tears are structurally different than sad tears than angry tears than overwhelmed tears etc.

Chinese iPhones crash when users try to type Taiwanese flag characters

A now-fixed bug in Ios caused Chinese-localized Iphones to reboot any time the user tried to enter the character combination for a Taiwanese flag or the word “Taiwan”; the bug was caused by Apple’s China-only censorship and surveillance software.

One of the Chinese government’s most sensitive no-go zones are the separatist movements that agitate for independent home-rule in Taiwan, Tibet, Xianjing and other territories. Part of the suppression of these movements is a broad prohibition on the display of their national flags.

Apple’s bug was apparently triggered by a routine that flagged messages containing potential dissident sentiments for examination by Chinese political officers who would make decisions about whether to censure the phone’s owner for expressing prohibited ideas.

The Chinese mobile market is responsible for as many Apple handset sales as all of the EU combined. Apple has made major concessions to maintain access to this market, including moving Icloud to Chinese servers, blocking VPNs from its App Store, and reportedly backdooring its software to give Chinese domestic surveillance agencies covert access to users’ data.

Apple is not alone in its complicity with Chinese state human rights abuses; all domestic Android companies certainly censor/surveil as much (or more) than Apple does; other western companies are likewise bound to participate in Chinese state surveillance as a condition of selling in the Chinese market.
