Oh no I specifically clarified it's not about the person (and I can be sympathetic towards them) it's just that stances that fundamentally hinge on hating the very thing it's being applied to (in this case society) will only damage that subject (generally, there may be caveats I'm not thinking about idk). And I'm not referring to people selectively caring about certain things either, I'm talking like genuinely not understanding why we should support each other or help each other. For example, I had an irl discussion with someone that just devolved into "why should everyone have a home? Why should we care for others? Why can't we just decide who gets a home or not?"
Essentially, imagine if there was a food bank run by a group of people. Now imagine if at least one of those people just doesn't care about the safety of their food, doesn't understand why people should have access to food, looks down on everyone, or believes there's no point in having a food bank, and these beliefs have major effects on the way the food bank is run. Is this productive or will this just harm the cause?
Idk I'm just sick of trying to find solutions to problems in society, only to run in circles with someone just for them to drop "oh I just don't care about people lol"
I didn't want to dox my college because it became a pretty huge deal (however you'll probably know with this comment admittedly) but there was a mass murder killing a couple students one night, I think the guy got caught but it was a devastating time. Not to mention subsequently getting the emails from my college stating a murder happened and then following it up with several murders actually was scary
Man seeing that first point listed here is kinda surreal to see. Because my highschool was in a bumbfuck nowhere yeeyee ass town there were confederate flags everywhere and fake wannabe southerners in cowboy hats (this is a very north state lol) literally the first thing you'd see upon entering the town was one of those flags flying on the right side (tho it slowly got destroyed by the weather until it was taken down thankfully)
There were a few for my high school, but one I was there for was when I was sitting in the bus when suddenly everything went quiet (highly unusual). I looked behind myself and everyone was covering their ears, then the smell of gunpowder hit my nose. Some dumb fuck lit a firecracker and tossed it into the middle lane (wtvr it was called) when the bus was driving between the lake and the train tracks. Thank GOD it was a dud. Anyways, I brought this up to the principle and teachers the next day and seemingly no one gave a shit ?? Goes to show how garbage my school was lol
For my college, I can't give specifics but it'd have to be the murders. Very tragic and sad incident
It absolutely has for me, prior it would take me genuinely months to even do a single thing (including really important shit) but with medication it's significantly helped my executive dysfunction, made me able to get things done within the week or even a day if lucky, I can actually focus (sometimes on the wrong things lol), and since removing the executive dysfunction it's allowed me to have more motivation. (Of course still not perfect hence my post)
The effectiveness of meds vary for everyone esp on the specific kinds of meds (I take ritalin), but I'd say go for it (also the dependence thing isn't as scary as you'd think, I mean with meds you'll more than likely improve on productivity, and if you ever run out it'll just go back to how it was before (in my experience at least) I'd say it's def worth asking a doc about it)
I don't remember it well other than it was on a tumblr blog and as they were answering an anonymous ask they just casually mentioned that with no explanation
My only ideas are either they're filthy rich, have no sense of smell, or somehow think "bad" implies morality so they don't believe smells can be evil which like ?? No ones claiming otherwise lmao
I take ritalin and in my experience it's made my hyperfocus more efficient and in a way stronger, since the medication mainly gets rid of my executive dysfunction. Can still very well focus on the wrong thing lol but it's made doing projects and in general existing waaay better
That one's one of the few I mentioned were just purely from spite/bad personal experience, unfair I know but this is a hella subjective chart after all
I mean considering that the term LGB isn't commonplace, is purely associated with transphobic activist groups, the article subject can very easily include trans perspectives (or even just imply it with using the full term LGBT), we're already in an incredibly hostile political environment in terms of trans rights, and is more than likely a conscious choice to specifically remove the T (unless it's a spelling error, which in that case they should proofread better) I'd say it's fair to criticize their choice
A lot of people go into the genre purely expecting to get scared, and a lot of the time they just leave disappointed, despite that not being the only aspect to horror. This is reflected in the reviews (which average at around 5-7/10 for really great titles, I personally always add +2 to get the actual rating), as well as how rarely they recieve awards (like there are a lot of good acting perfomances that should have gotten awarded, such as Toni Collette's in Hereditary). Also, there are some weird attitudes from non-horror fans such as some people thinking you're sick due to "finding joy in other's suffering" or especially if you enjoy some movies that happen to include some really dark subject matter; regardless of how it's ultimately handled, some people may judge fans for that. Overall I'd say this genre and I believe the comedy genre from what I've seen are treated unfairly due to their highly subjective nature (albeit there are some objective/technical qualities but the average movie goer would be more suaded by the former)
No worries I'm shit at phrasing lol, and yea fully agree

Eye contact kinda hurts (not physically but dunno how to describe) it's like if everyone had laser vision
