has anyone noticed that sometimes you take incorrect or undesirable actions instead of the correct and desirable ones? what's up with that

I'm reading goodnight punpun for the first time (please no spoilers) and it's really good so far.

update: reading this at the tail end of one of the worst weeks I've had in a long time & with my brain chemistry actively haywiring is fuuucked. this book is good I can see the edges of my enclosure.

okay but we can't know for sure that the loud noise and bright flash offstage—which occurred after the character who was holding the gun exited the stage with it—was a gunshot, because we didn't get to directly see it

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

speaking of hedging, one criticism i always hate that's often levelled against people doing media criticism or analysis is variations on "oh they think all their opinions are correct" yeah i'd hope so--don't understand why someone would hold an opinion they think is wrong! i hate the culture of endlessly qualifying everything you say to mollify an interlocutor who feels like your strongly held opinion is an imposition on their free will and i think nobody ought to bend to it. make your criticisms and points with your fucking chest. if you think you need my permission to disagree with me then you will die my thrall and be buried in my tomb
