It's gonna work out. It's gonna work out. It's gonna work out.

legitimately from ages like 12-25 i thought everyone was exhausted to the point of suicidal depression and i was just bad at handling it. kids the normal amount of suicidal ideation is NONE and if you don't physically recover by sleeping you should see a doctor

You know what… This really is one of the only alignment post that get the chaotic and lawful descriptors correctly aligned.

On the Lawful side: the two people who have to follow the recipes nearly exactly for the results they want - baking isn’t quite am exact measurements process but the margin of error for experiment is very, very thin. Tempering chocolate for use in structural works even more so.

On the Chaotic side: cooking and mixology where the margins of error for ingredients and portioning are so broad “whatever feels right” is almost never the wrong answer. The same recipe could be done a dozen different ways for a dozen different people and all of them would be a great outcome with minimal disaster in their wake.

This could also be an allegory for the difference between wizards (bakers) and sorcerers (cooks) - they’re all magic users (chefs), but the type of magic the weild and the source of their power is vastly different

You know, I was originally thinking that Dylan and Shiadanni should swap, but this convinced me they were properly placed, well done.

How is Dylan evil though? That’s either nonsense or worse.

Don’t look at it as a description of them personally, but rather the things they create. Dylan isn’t evil in a traditional sense, any more than the Tipsy Bartender is, but the things they create provoke a very visceral “Oh no what the fuck?!?!” sense of horror.

He’s called his own creations Abominations and War Crimes so i think he’d agree with this assessment

It makes me deeply uncomfortable that "I don't believe in a god because I've seen too much suffering to believe that there is a being who could end it but is choosing not to" and "I don't believe in a god because it's stupid to believe in things and anyone who believes in things is dumb" are both considered Atheism. One comes from deep compassion and openness to the suffering of humans, the other comes from a place of superiority and lack of understanding/care about world cultures.

First photo of Jupiter was taken in 1879 by Agnes Mary Clerk:

For comparison: the latest photo of Jupiter taken by the James Webb Telescope in infrared:

Firstly, I'm not letting this die in the notes:

Next, the reason the Red Eye is in the wrong spot in the first photo is because old telescope photos were upside down. I am not sure why they didn't flip them, tbh

And the stretched look to the storm is because it used to be much bigger: big enough to fit 3 Earth's.

I'm gonna sound old here, but I remember that bitch being alot bigger back in my day.

subtitles love to not be accurate ever. think about the last time you watched a film with completely accurate subtitles. you can't, can you? that's because they don't exist

wow thank you for my subtitles

I don’t understand why some Christians promote abstinence as a form of birth control when it didn’t even work for Mary.

I really shouldn’t be laughing right now.

story time: so i grew up in an abstinence-first education state where everything ended with “abstinence is the only form of contraception that is 100% effective” and my best friend gave a presentation on contraception where the last slide was just a picture of the virgin mary that said “abstinence is 99.99% effective” and she almost got kicked out of class

Not sure why this park thought the first two sign language words they needed to teach to kids were “Ghost” and “Run”

every time i start to feel cringe for being too deep in the hyperfixation i remember the intense depression i have waded through and have to remind myself that enjoyment is fleeting (so grab it with both hands), and life is for loving (so hold that love close), and if anyone thinks i’m cringe they must not be having a very good time (and i hope they can find a good time soon).

i think one of the most misunderstood and misused "therapy speak" things is I Statements.

I Statements aren't just about starting with "I feel...." they are about identifying, specifically, the emotions you're dealing with, and acknowledging your subjective experience instead of making objective claims about the other person that you can't possibly know.

"i feel like you hate me" is not an I statement. "you hate me" is not an emotion. "i feel insecure in our relationship" or "i feel vulnerable," or even "i'd like affirmation," those are I Statements. you can't just slap "i feel" before an accusatory sentence and call it good. you need to actually pay attention to the spirit of the idea too.

I don't want to make ““doctor’s appointments””and ““schedule a follow up.”” I want to be coaxed gently into a crate and taken to the vet.

Can I also get in on the part where the doctor patiently bears with me as I scream the entire time and then gives me some spray cheese on a tongue depressor?

james wilson is suffering from 'being loved too much' disease in this scene its crazy

Sick list of symptoms bro. Now try humanizing your behavior instead of pathologizing it.

Pathologizing: Hey sorry I yelled at you. I have this ADHD symptom called RSD that makes me really sensitive.

Humanizing: Hey, I’m sorry that I blew up like that earlier. In the moment I felt really attacked and overwhelmed and I reacted badly, but I know you didn’t mean to offend me with what you said, so that behavior is on me.

Please. Help.

The girl I'm dating and I both think that we sleep on the left side of the bed. I'm coming to terms with the fact that she may be a psychopath and I don't know what's real anymore.

"left" and "right" are both relative terms determined relative to a person. The correct answers are port and starboard.

the headboard is the stern

Yeah this one seems pretty straightforward. I'm sure there's some exceptions, but every depiction I can think of, including IRL race car beds, agrees.

i spent too long on this and regret nothing

listen, as a government regulator, please for the love of god call your city code enforcement on your landlords more often. we often have our hands tied and cannot enforce the law on code and permit violations until a citizen files a formal complaint. use the services available! PLEASE!

Newborn gorilla reacting to a cold stethoscope

This is Yakini, a lovely western lowland gorilla that had a rough start to life requiring round the clock care after he was born at the Werribee Zoo. He’s 23 years old now, but his baby pictures still get a lot of attention. His baby pictures aren’t the only thing remarkable about him however! Despite struggling to survive in the first days of his life, when Yakini was nine years old he sent the zoo into lockdown by escaping to enjoy the other exhibits on his own. He was brought home after being found and subsequently tranquilized in the elephant enclosure. Here’s him now as the leader of his bachelor troupe, enjoying himself:
