Puthykraken got dithintegrated by the dithcourthe

I wonder how it feels to be a therapist or psychiatrist in 2026 and watch the despair of young patients and realize it’s not attributed to mental illness but a rational response to the state of the capitalist hellscape world we live in

I’m not depressed because I need a higher dose of my mood stabilizer. I’m depressed because I spent years of my life working my fucking ass off to get a degree in biochemistry from one of the top universities in the world only to apply to over 100 jobs and the only one I land is one I hate every second of doing, the work is literally useless, and in spite of being there over 40 hours a week I still don’t make enough to pay rent. The food benefits I get can’t even feed a german shepherd. I’m 23 years old with a college degree asking my parents to take me grocery shopping so I don’t starve. I’m not upset because of my mental illness I’m upset because I work my ass off only to be broke and miserable

one aspect of the social media ban i think we really need to consider isn’t just that vulnerable people aren’t able to find positive connection online, it’s that e-safety likely isn’t going to be taught in schools because children aren’t supposed to be on social media, full stop. it’s like schools don’t teach people how to do drugs safely for example because it’s expected for people not to do them at all. and what this could mean is that even the people who could have been fine if told properly how to responsibly use the internet, that when they inevitably find a way to get around the ban, they’re at even more risk because they don’t know what to look out for.

i am well aware of the absolutely fucked up things eating disorders do to people’s brains, and i am sympathetic, but I still think acknowledging publicly that these celebrities are promoting looking emaciated on death’s door is important. Can you imagine being 13 and seeing this shit? Every celebrity event looks like a thinspo board, it’s awful.

People talk about women's bodies far too much; this is true. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be addressing the elephant in the room of insane weight loss and eds. it isnt fucking normal or healthy

The really funny part is that many modern sources that want to gas up Sparta will bring up this specific anecdote, but stop at the "if" and just not mention what happened immediately afterwards.

similarly, "μολὼν λαβέ" (come and take them) is a really cool thing to say, made significantly less cool by having them taken

they got married btw

I can’t believe I have to say this but this not a pro cheating on your partner post you absolute troglodytes

History isn't written by the victors it's written by the guys who write stuff down

And who told them to do that, exactly?

Are you insinuating that only winners are capable of creating propaganda or writing history books because that’s kinda an ill-informed take dude not gonna lie

The US lost the Vietnam war and yet as an American, surprise surprise, most of the stuff I read about it or information I even have access to about it is from an American perspective. Most of the English language information out there is from the American perspective. In some areas of the country children are still taught that we won the war. Propaganda and history writing by the losers is not a new thing. Ramses ii of Egypt lost the battle of kadesh big time but he still built gigantic friezes saying what a great job he did. The victors aren’t always the ones with the gigantic war memorials and super widely spoken language.

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

I hope your vibrator runs out of battery halfway through and that the charger is on the other side of the room. And also that you die

i really love how you can tell how much happier she is
