Scaredy Cats

The slow death of interesting things for the sake of unceasing cancerous growth and ephemeral content.

This is the price of capitalism. Companies are forced to consume and destroy everything they can because anything that isn't increasing its market share is dying. Disney has to make a larger percent of the amount of profit that's being made every year, or it'll die. The only way to keep doing that is to keep buying and killing everything else around it. We live in an economic system where doing one thing extremely well and consistently and being beloved is not enough. National Geographic can't continue to exist because it can't drive its competition out of business. It doesn't matter that they don't have any competition or that they never stopped being the best and only at what they do. Eventually there will be no businesses except private equity firms and they'll be forced to eat each other until there is only one company in the world and when there is nothing left to destroy, the system itself will die. Unless people choose to stop it before it gets there.

Until death, all defeat is psychological.

there should be more options than suffering via employment and suffering via unemployment

some of y’all bout to be real mad at me. but it must be said. some of the shit u call corny/cringy is actually just genuine/cute/sweet and y’all r just afraid of expressing any type of positive emotion

"exercise will give you more energy" gets said a lot as a common piece of health advice but I think it needs to be expanded into "exercising will make you tired while you do it, and you will continue to be tired immediately afterwards, sometimes even the next day too, but over months of consistent exercise, your muscles will get stronger and therefore get less tired out by everyday activities, making you feel like day-to-day life takes less physical energy than it used to"

Addendum: exercising for the first time in a while will make your body feel like shit the next day. There is a simple and easy way to stop this. Stick to your routine until it stops huting. Your muscles need to "learn," for lack of a better word, how fast they need to recover to keep up with your routine. (This is for muscle soreness, not joint pain. See a physician and adjust your routine according to their advice for that. If you can't afford a physician, try doing some research online, maybe search "[subsititue the relevant joint] pain causes and treatments" or the like. The answer is likely a good stretching routine, or else adjusting your form while you exercise. For ankles, especially if your routine involves running, the answer may be better shoes.)

Can I have everything I want in life by tomorrow

God I love things doing the things that they do

The chain link one though. The one that holds the previous link alternates its rotation so the whole thing doesn't begin to twist.
