short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

When exactly have you believed them that the living soul that you are can work forever motivated only by fear anger and shame?

Don't you understand that your body literally needs to be happy to keep you alive? That chemicals released when you're excited and happy are necessary for your brain to keep working? Are you unaware that chemicals produced when you're hugged by someone you trust are important to keep your guts working and also for your immune system? Do you think that neurotransmitters are optional pro feature that person needs to pay for?

You need to be alive first in order to work and happiness, satisfaction, contentment are all markers of you successfully surviving.

To work while being unhappy you need to make it a matter of survival: "I might die if I won't make this spreadsheet", "I'll starve if I won't do these chores".

How long you think you can keep yourself in survival mode until parts of your body start dying?

Are you aware that burnout is literally your body throwing a mutiny to keep you alive? It's literally your body saying "you said it's what we have to do to survive and it was a lie, we're taking away the steering wheell and the buttons and levers, you're demoted from captain to observer-advisor and from now on the survival boost mode is unavailable unless the threat to our survival is imminent and direct?"

Are you aware that you're descendant of an incredibly long line of people who survived? It means their bodies were shaped to make them survive for all costs, including straight up lying to their brains to ensure the survival.

If you're tired and hungry, productivity will be turned down, and if you'll try to circumvent it, your awareness of your productivity will be turned down too.

If you're unhappy for a long time, you'll find yourself looking for anything that looks like satisfaction or fullfiment, regardless of what you were planning to do.

Yes it is about "never sit down" adhd tip. I don't think I'm ever going to stop grieving about this. This line of thinking is what made me disabled and this line of thinking is what disabled and killed countless people.

Do you ever think it's coming back? All that shit from the '90s? We were despised, but you read the stuff online now, it sounds just the same. Do I think it's coming back? Yeah. It's back, you fucking idiot. Right now, it's here.

So if your kid learns, for example, that helping mom make dinner = getting in the way, but not helping = being lazy, but asking if mom needs help = being annoying and asking stupid questions, then you have basically trained a person to see the only option that doesn't lead to scolding as 'hide and don't be thought of until dinner is done'. So now what relationship is your kid going to have with cooking or cleaning or chores in general? How is that going to affect them as an adult?

If there is no right answer regarding the things that bother a parent, then your kid is going to associate those things with being punished no matter what they do. If talking during a car ride is bad and annoying, but being quiet and staring out the window is bad and disrespectful, then what are they going to do every time they're in the car with you but count every word they say? If texting is suspicious, but why don't they have friends, but going out with people is irresponsible, but why don't they ever leave their room, but their friends are all bad influences, but why did they stop hanging out with them, they were nice kids, then what are you even doing?

If you're a Manousos fan you should watch this one! It's a lot more in depth about the character than other interviews I've seen. He talks about the hospital scene, how he finds the character endearing, how important Carol is to Manny, his flaws and how he's super smart but also very childlike and naive.
