so much of being an ok person is just 1) not panicking, 2) not taking things personally, and 3) not letting the vindictive gargoyle that lives in your head tell you what to do. this sucks because brains love doing those things

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

If someone is doing things that don't make Sense, try to understand that it is entirely possible that their brain is probably under an enormous weight and fracturing under the pressure. People who have been stabbed will sometimes talk a circle around the fact that they've been stabbed because stress and shock prevent you from recognizing the distress you are in and what you need to do to seek help for it. PTSD will do this also. You will find yourself repeatedly jamming a bag of frozen fruit into the same spot in the freezer where it doesn't fit and keeps falling, over and over and over, focused on nothing but that bag. You will decide that a beanbag chair is 10000% necessary to your life. You will lose your entire shit because you stubbed your toe on a table and that means the whole setup of your furniture is wrong. These are largely harmless examples. People under strain will also hurt themselves and others. Cornered animals bite. And it doesn't heal the bite to go "Hey, are you okay?" But it might get you to an animal that stops biting, so you can start to heal. And before you had an animal that bit, you probably had an animal that kept doing shit you didn't understand as stress signals

All of this and also, sometimes you just cannot control your reaction even if it’s harmful or mean. Which also doesn’t make it acceptable to treat people poorly, but it does tie into the give people a second or third chance and communicate before deciding they’re just terrible now

everyone talks about how nice it is to sleep next to the same person regularly but nobody talks about how when they shower you have to shower too even if you don't really feel like it because otherwise when you go to bed there's a critical Flesh Stickiness Imbalance

i am a biological machine that turns cold cans of Campbell’s soup into shareholder value and nude selfies

i love the phrase "which could mean nothing" i think its my favorite thing to come out of the internet ever i love saying it. it could mean nothing but we all know better. we know the truth.

Legal Eagle asking "are you covered to have an open flame in the studio?" and a producer worriedly yelling "we're not!" as Ally goes to light a bong they filled with real whiskey is maybe the hardest I have ever laughed at an episode of Game Changer.

i might be doing really terrible on the emotional regulation front but in my defense ive had a gaping hole in my chest since i was 12

individually wrapped cheese slices are the invention of a deeply unwell pervert

mr beast has decoys

my boys and i took out 3 last year… wanted to figure out if they were clones or just different guys who underwent plastic surgery so we tried to get them dna tested but the sequences didn’t match any known living organism

Happy Smallpox Eradication Day

Man's about to turn you into the scene of a happy little accident.

Fellas, is it counter revolutionary to eat.

This is a reminder that any insane extreme position can be couched in progressive sounding language to try and persuade you of its validity, even positions that are totally contrary

Honestly this is one of the best formatted jokes of all time.
