The reason why "Not knowing about [X] leads to fascism" applies to so many different subjects btw, is that fascism is less of a structured political philosophy and more like "succumb to the worst of human impulses and knee-jerk reactions to provocations, let your biases guide you and embrace the dopamine rush of feeling powerful through cruelty" formalized into a political system

Do me a favor and vote on this poll
What is your opinion? Vote now: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbour Totoro, Grave of the Fireflies, Kiki's D
The poll is allowing me to click multiple films. Am I only supposed to pick one?
Edit: nevermind, I need to learn to read.
What's the hardest truth to accept in trauma recovery?
Way more of your issues are self-inflicted than you realize.
People don't like hearing it because, especially in the internet age where every idiot needs to have their take on your business, it makes them think they weren't actually traumatized. But the reality is about half the damage caused by trauma is caused by the reactions to it by a child or young adult being thrust into situations they shouldn't have to deal with.
Younger me had the WORST survival strategies.
"Oh, I'll deliberately rile up a man with a recorded track record of explosive egomania because I don't believe a better situation is possible! This won't hurt me in the slightest!"
"Well my sister's still a weird, creepy, possessive nutjob, but she's not actively forcing herself on me (at the moment) so I guess that's fine. Surely this will not turn into a systematic erosion of the new boundaries I set in the hospital!"
"Oh hey, school is literally sapping the life out of me, I'm gonna make dark jokes about shooting myself a week after V-Tech, that won't end badly for me at all!"
Abused children can't be blamed for their survival strategies, but at the same time if you don't recognize how bad these decisions were and the role they played in the damage you've suffered, you turn into someone like Poppy who is still using maladaptive coping strategies in her 40's and is convinced there's no other way to live.
Or for a better example you turn into Courtney, who is still as a grown-ass woman trying to cope with the fact that Dad didn't give her enough attention by seeking attention, clout and social status from increasingly harmful places.
It's hard to accept, but "I did not deserve to be treated this way" and "I was an idiot pouring gasoline on a house fire out of spite" are sentiments that can and should co-exist.
If your OCs had an album associated with them, what would it be?
Anevay - The Wall
Amorosa - Badlands
Aryana - Everywhere at the End of Time
Kestri - The Fallout Radio
Lev - One of those old times greatest hits collections they used to sell on infomercials.
Niva - Break From This World
That's all I got. I don't listen to compete albums often.
When people say abuse damages you for life, is that true?
Yes and no.
Childhood trauma does affect how you develop for the rest of your life because your personality, opinions and beliefs develop around your experiences. To this day I have very strong opinions about parental rights because of how they were used to harm me.
But I wouldn't call that damage. That's just the course of your life. It's ultimately up to you what you take from it.
However, a high stress childhood and adolescence DOES cause damage. I have paranoia and trust issues, I'm something of a misanthrope, I have a higher risk of Alzheimer's later in life, I experience sleep hallucinations, all the boring and undramatic damage that stress does to you.
But most of that is treatable. It's only permanent if you let it be.
Oou ouu! Do you want to do the USA equivalent of the other provinces? Im curious to see.
Okay
Alberta is Florida because everyone there has an IQ of 12 and they're the only state really keeping the Conservative party alive.
New Brunswick is Missouri because there's better places to live on both sides of them and everyone forgets they exist.
Quebec is Louisiana because they both speak a version of French that makes people from France have an aneurysm.
Prince Edward Island is what Rhode Island would be if they were actually an island.
Newfoundland is Massachusetts because they both like to pretend they're Irish and even though they speak English nobody can understand what they're saying.
Ontario is California because everyone else in the country hates them, and they think they're way more important than they actually are.
Toronto gets their own. Toronto is New Jersey because everyone there is a shithead, and it's where you go if you have aspirations to marry your sibling.
Manitoba is North Dakota because you forgot both existed until I mentioned them just this very second.
Nova Scotia is New York is because it has one clustered sprawl of a city, and a whole lot of empty forest everywhere else that houses like 7 people.
BC is Colorado because they're both filled with nothing but mountains and potheads.
Saskatchewan is Arkansas because they're both flat as hell, boring and hard to spell.
Yukon is Vermont because you've heard of it, but haven't confirmed for yourself that it exist.
The Northwest Territories is Wyoming because they have the population of a tuna sandwich.
And lastly Nunavut is Puerto Rico because they're the only non-province/state anyone can remember off-hand.
Oh this...
This is beautiful.
Hey, how much of building a viewer base on youtube is luck? I've been noticing lately that putting in a lot of effort to do things the 'right' way to build a channel just isn't working all that well.
There is no right way and there is no shortcut.
If you want a shortcut, it's theft. Take popular videos and react to them. It works because zoomers like lying to themselves about how they're watching videos alone all day.
But it dies the instant the youngest zoomer turns 22 and gets real interests.
There is never a real shortcut to building an audience. Youtube viewers are extremely fickle and their actions cannot be predicted.
You have to enjoy what you're doing. Everyone can tell when you're chasing the algorithm.
Is there any merit to the panic about Windows 10 not getting security updates anymore?
No. People act like you'll be hacked the instant support ends for Windows 10, but for most people the most dangerous thing to you is your credit card information getting stolen, which is an easy fix.
For businesses it's a big deal because businesses are frequent targets of attacks, but the average user? Eh.
As a Youtuber, the most dangerous thing to me is Redline Stealer, a device that steals your Session ID to hack into accounts. But no security update could protect me from that because it's shoved into the materials of fake sponsorship offers.
Whenever you see Youtubers from tiny ones like Rachel or big ones like Linus Tech Tips get hacked, it was a fake sponsorship offer that did that. The protection is "Don't take sponsorships. Ever."
Part of Microsoft's security theatre is scaring people to upgrade to a new version of windows, because if people stop using older versions of windows, it doesn't matter if new holes are found in them.
The real problem with operating systems ending support is they eventually stop working. As people stop using them, programs stop getting made for them and drivers for new devices stop getting made for them. 3 years into Windows 10, Windows 7 was still viable. But today my recording laptop uses Windows 7 and it can't do anything BUT that because even Firefox doesn't work anymore.
There's a reason I use editing software from 6 years ago, graphics editors from 13 years ago and plain text editors. I'm slow to update things and I need them to work.
If you run a business where you handle other people's information, yes panic. If you're just using Steam and Twitter, then none of this matters to you. You should be more concerned about Twitter getting hacked than your own PC.
Its about to be real lucrative to be a snitch. Guard your information. And guard your friends information.
Fourth Riech shit.
Remember the person who snitched on Luigi? All because they wanted the reward, which they ended up not getting because the police & government used loopholes to get out of paying it.
The same thing will happen if you rat out immigrants. The odds of you getting the money are low. It's a carrot on a stick to get you to do the work for them.
Hey remember the last time they did this and everyone spammed the Bee Movie script and made it completely unusable?
Holy shit. The Israeli whistleblower story CNN just broke is insane. I cannot believe what I’m reading
Rare firsthand accounts by Israeli whistleblowers cast light on the horrific conditions in the Sde Teiman torture camp in Naqab Desert. Palestinians are stripped down, blindfolded, forced in diapers, and forbidden from speaking. They are subjected to beatings and mental degradation regularly. So much depravity that has gone unseen. Doctors performing procedures outside of their expertise, amputations due to zip-typing of abductees’ wrists, having large dogs unleashed on them at night. Being fed food through straws. I can’t believe it. I am truly in shock. And this is just one whistleblower accounting of this. Who knows what else is happening beyond our knowledge
My heart is breaking into a million pieces
Worth mentioning that multiple Palestinians have recounted these stories before, as direct victims detailing their experiences. What's unique about these accounts from CNN Israeli whistle-blower is that they're from an Israeli, therefore people are more likely to take this seriously.

This is just one of the main jokes from Fullmetal Alchemist, but even funnier, because instead of being offended by the person next to them being mistaken as the special one, they're just overwhelmed.
I’m reading the Wikipedia page for high-fives (you know, like you do) and I’m losing it over this part
Look at the misery in this last pic. The absolute sorrow. Their friendship has been shattered and will never recover.
I think this has some serious meme potential
What's your favourite Ghibli movie?
Only Yesterday
If I recall correctly, you previously said that Only Yesterday was your least favourite (tied with Princess Mononoke) because it was so slow and boring, and that your favourites were Spirited Away and Grave of the Fireflies? I'm curious as to what changed your mind on this, because in my own attempt to watch every Ghibli film, Only Yesterday was the only one I dropped part-way through for the exact reasons you previously stated.
"incident" are you fucking for real right now?
Don't give money to Wikipedia ever
Not to mention “in what has been characterized as a massacre”. Just… wow.
Currently, 7 hours after the original post was made, the first section of the wikipedia article has changed to this.
The changing of the article title to "Al-Rashid Massacre" is under discussion, and also was in the original post. Someone made the title say humanitarian aid incident when the article was made, but there is serious disagreement. Wikipedia titles cannot be easily edited like the text of the article, and so discussion is needed. This is just how wikipedia works, and when pretty much anyone can edit it you are going to get things like this. This is not a reason to avoid giving money to wikipedia, and while the stuff shown in the original screenshot was very bad, it is being fixed (and fairly rapidly).
Wikipedia and any biases it has cannot be treated the same way as that of something like a news organization. Getting upset at wikipedia as a whole for something that most editors seem to disagree with and are working to change doesn't really make sense.
Now listed as the Flour massacre:
I want a little White House With a duck egg blue door Inside it smells lightly of fresh paint And there’s a little brown mat on the floor
The hallway is bright and echoey Wellies stand proud in a line Naked toes sink into soft carpet As the door clicks neatly behind
The kettle is already bubbling Two dotty mugs wait to be filled Strung above, gold fairy lights dim slowly Lilac flowers sit on window sills
A fresh notebook lies open on a table A clear glass of water catches the light It sends out tiny shivering rainbows Onto the paper which tempts me to write
When night falls in my little warm house, Candles flicker light on the walls Soft chilled cotten caresses my legs As into a dreamful sleep, I fall
