I guess this counts as ranting from my behalf.

So what? What will revealing all of this do to those involved? Will the American public do anything about it?

I’m fucking tired of reading about how shitty people are shitty and continue getting away with it while the public does absolute jack shit

Bipolar II here (yeah turns out Bipolar was so good they made a second one)

Personally it doesn’t sound like they went fully manic (else you or them would’ve been in greater danger), but instead it sounds like a mood swing. When unmedicated, it is too easy for the smallest of emotion to trigger a meltdown. A slightly irritating thing means uncontrollable anger, a slightly sad or pitiful thing means uncontrollable depression (emotion) and crying, etc.

I’ve had days where I feel completely hopeless and filled with despair, crying and giving up on life, only to realize I’ve forgotten to take my pills in a couple of days, and be so much better to the point that it feels like it was another person expressing that desperation a couple of hours later. It’s honestly very interesting (if you set aside the worrying aspects) to see how a brain can change so abruptly

Silly OP, I don’t even have a downvote button (idk if it’s the instance I’m in but I don’t particularly mind ngl)

From what I read on other posts (which is to say, I haven’t confirmed it so take it with a grain of salt), it was nonconsensual and incest games

Holy shit I didn’t know othe people do the first one as well lmao

I respond to “my god”, usually

Except I am not, they has been used singularly for centuries now.

Let me put it in a way that will make sense for you. Singular “they” is, more often than not, used when people do not know the gender or amount of a group. Whenever you speak of a corporation or company, it is extremely common to use “they” instead of “it”. E.g. “they are the ones in charge of making that decision”. In the example, you are speaking of a company or similar group, a singular entity by itself. However, since the speaker does not know who or how many people make this decision, the speaker uses a singular “they”.

This is but one example of how they has been used as a singular pronoun for ages, but let us digress a little bit. Why the fuck is the royal “we” allowed, but not the singular “they”? They both follow the same structure but inverse of each other, where the royal we is a way to say “I’m speaking of myself as a part of a bigger entity/community”. You can make an argument that both of these carry plural connotations, but my point is that grammar rules and language as a whole is way more nuanced than black or white.

So, please, save your spit and time with a counter argument that only pushes forward discriminating thinking and stop being a pussy about language change.

Btw, I’m not a native English speaker, which goes to show that I was actively taught about singular they, instead of picking it up intuitively like most native speakers do.

Edit PS: don’t even think of using my non-nativeness as a point against me, I know for a fact I have better grammar and care more about orthography than the average native speaker.

“Ah yes, let us disregard basic grammar rules in order to make a stupid argument to ‘prove’ my point, that’s clearly what’ll convince people that my way is the right one”

That’s odd, I remember reading about the feature that makes it so zombies naturally fill in empty cells from other cells, but maybe I misunderstood?

I do agree that the random spawning zombies can be dumb if you’re coming back to your completely secure and isolated base only to find zombies inside

Could you not adjust the settings so zombies see/hear you very easily and from far away, as well as making hordes a bigger amount for the feeling of being hunted by a pack? I haven’t played the recent unstable versions so idk if they added other things that zombies can do to find you, like smell or whatnot

Oh, I didn’t mean to intend that we don’t have memories from before that, since we very clearly do since we know who our parents/family are, the language we speak, etc. I meant that we can’t actively recollect those memories, given a few exceptions.

Do you have photographic memory of stuff today? idk how to phrase the question lol

So would the fact that most people start remembering stuff from then more vividly be more of a coincidence?

I literally had a teacher once “correct” me for saying the area of a circle is πr² instead of πrr. I was told “you’re not wrong but that’s for future classes”. On another class, I had a teacher correct a short story by removing repeated words, whereas I used repetition for emphasis, but used a comma instead of ellipsis. Think “I saw it, saw the thing” instead of “I saw it… saw the thing”. Both was in early elementary, no higher than 3rd grade.

So, believe it or not, things happen to other people even if they didn’t happen to you.

The worst thing about calling this fake is that it’s not even unbelievable, it’s a perfectly possible and mundane thing that most likely happened to millions of children as they grew up, yet everything in the internet is fake, right? No one just happens to record people for no reason, no one’s smart enough to make funny jokes in the spur of the moment and get a reaction from strangers.

EDIT: Added context.

That’s exactly how it feels reading any global or US news recently.

I’m exhausted dawg

Reminds me of the time I saw people arguing on Reddit about the phrase “time is a social construct” where some people were completely incapable of understanding what that means and conflating the concept of time with the fundamental physics thingymcgee (idk how to call it and entity feels wrong).

People were trying so hard to explain that minutes, months, seasons, etc. are all arbitrary things made up only for them to retort with “but a year is a full rotation of the sun” or “seasons exist because that’s how the planet changes its climate”.

Momther/mumther when I’m feeling particularly silly

And yet we continue having children smh /j /lh /ns

I have a personal hypothesis, born out of studies I read a long time ago and haven’t kept up with nor really bothered to research more (so take it with a grain of salt), that dreams are two things happening at once:

•Your brain organizing your memories of everything that happened that day, including every thought you had even if it doesn’t have a physical event attached to it.

•Your imagination adding as much of a cohesive story as it can to those often times unrelated memories.

I always picture it like still images that change rapidly one after the other, sort of like flipbooks, and then your “conscious” mind trying to keep up with it, finding no logic, and creating a storyline instead.

I’ve found myself lucid dreaming before, and despite being in control and knowing it’s a dream, I’m still asleep, so I end up making dumb choices or playing along with my dream.

The dreams I remember tend to be strangest/goofiest ones or the ones that had some emotional impact on me. However, when I analyze them while awake, I realize that there was a lot of extra “content” that I didn’t add or doesn’t fit into the dream. Like how somehow the place and the people I’m with change every “scene”.

Sometimes I wake up with a phrase resonating inside my head, with that feeling you get in your mouth when tou want to say something. And since I’m bilingual, I’ve had dreams with both languages happening at once. Hell, I’ve even had dreams where I’m speaking Japanese “fluently” (i.e. it feels fluent in the dream but I know it must be gibberish, since I don’t speak the language).

Sometimes they help me face subconscious anxieties, sometimes they give me solutions to problems I’m having IRL, but more often than not, it’s like I’m watching the randomest movie ever. And I do think they’re a “window or the subconscious” but not in the sense I think you’re asking. Since they’re memories and imagination, it is your subconscious that is choosing to focus on specific aspects or the storyline you create. So, analyzing them can help to see what’s going inside that blob of fat we call brain.

Tl;dr: they feel like when you’re fantasizing/daydreaming but a lot less cohesive, and can be helpful every now and then.

I don’t know how dreams happen to people with aphantasia, and I know my explanation would be wildly different for them, but that’s how I see dreams.

I don’t get the last panel
