Good thing we've picked up all these effective coping strategies

Me: okay, now we're on a new version of the same task, just do the same thing we did yesterday.

Brain: okay, got it, producing panic reaction at this new task we've obviously got no clue how to do

Ask yourself this: Do you want this to be the future of your anime watching experience, forever? If your answer is no, then act on it! If you are a journalist or anyone with a platform, talk about this! If you know such people, urge them to do so! Use my article as base! Now, before it's too late!

Can't wait for this PhD to be over so I can stop being such an awful partner to my lovers and start living again.

In other news, my PhD has been extended by another four months.

This was actually really interesting... I thought it would be games i loved, but on consideration it's like... What sounds do i still hear in my mind even when all context is removed.

a tweet by Adam Spalding saying "Adam and Eve, ashamed of their nakedness, hide from God. The picture : a painting by Heinrik Harder of a couple of nude prehistoric humans with spears, hiding behind a bush as a huge glyptodon passes by.

y'know when you ask for a dirty chai but they just give you a normal coffee that vaguely recalls once resembling chai in the ancient genetic memories of its distant ancestors?

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

Shocking

This perspective was resoundingly disproven after only a few short years, when a single Thayan enclave halted all progress toward the colonisation of Chult by the powers of the Sword Coast for a period of months.

My supe: You should probably start thinking about how you can turn this into a book when you're done.

I know I live in the lap of western decadence because a barista just burnt the coffee when making me a frappe and my afternoon has been low-key ruined
