@McDonaldsSupport I tried to order the travis scott burger and the employees set upon me and beat me with their fists, and spat upon me. And I let out a great wail liken unto a beast.

Carolyn Bryant died today. I thought I’d feel vindicated or at least be able to say “good riddance”. But I can’t. She died at 88 after living a long, full life. She got to pass away quietly.

Emmett did not.

Carolyn Bryant died without ever admitting any guilt. She never saw what she did as anything worth apologizing for. And it hurts. She got to pass away while the legacy of her actions lives on.

She outlived Mamie Till by decades.

a few years ago, i made a flowchart for my partner in order to convince them to leave a pathfinder group that was actively making their life worse. today i revised my original chart to convince a friend to leave her d&d group that is actively making her life worse.

here is the chart. i promise its utility is not only with tabletop RPGs but it does have a high hit rate for those

Image ID: Digitally drawn chart with the following connections:

  • Is it required? > Yes > Do it
  • Is it required? > No > Is it emotionally-fulfilling? > Yes > Do it
  • Is it required? > No > Is it emotionally-fulfilling? > No > Is it fun? > Yes > Do it
  • Is it required > No > Is it emotionally-fulfilling? > No > Is it fun? > No > Dump his ass!!!

Note: the original chart misspelled "fulfilling" as "fufilling". The original chart had "Dump his ass!!!" in all caps, with "ass" underlined. These were modified in the description for clarity.

End ID.

Psychology textbook diagrams never cease to amaze me

ok y'all this isn’t a psych textbook gaslighting you into thinking it’s normal and ok for your boss to yell at you, it’s specifically about understanding that other people’s treatment of you is usually more about them than you. If your boss is pissy with you, it’s absolutely more healthy to understand that behavior as a reflection of his mental state rather than of your worth as an employee. It’s not a psych textbook’s job to advise you how to improve your workplace or say what is/isn’t acceptable treatment by a boss. It’s an example of detaching your own self-worth from how other people treat you.

^^THIS!

In fact, if you let yourself think of other people’s treatment as a reflection on YOU more than it is on THEM, it can prevent you from getting things done.

Or, in other words,

ok, im rb'ing this again because this actually helped me finally be able to take advantage of cognitive restructuring in a way i’ve struggled to do for a long time. Ive been able to get to the my boss was having a bad day part, but i’ve always struggled to use that mental change to do something that would improve the situation. but because of this diagram, i THINK ive got it figured out. Here’s a rough explanation of how I interperet this.

Real life example:

Boss yelling: My mom is snapping at me, calling me “disrespectful” no matter how I speak to her, and getting mad at me for having missing assignments He was having a bad day: She’s stressed due to my grandma being in the hospital He shouldn’t take it out on me: just because she’s stressed doesn’t mean she gets to be mean to me. Unionize: I advocate for myself, saying that I’m not being disrespectful and that it’s okay to have missing assignments because I’m doing my best Fuck his wife: I am unapologetically proud of myself for what i manage to do in a day, especially if my mom disapproves of it or doesn’t view it as productive, as my own little “fuck you” to her.

End result: no depression.

This actually works and its amazing. Thanks to the meme side of tumblr for accidentally developing a highly effective method for coping with people who treat you like shit

i hope you realise i have immediately added ‘unionise! fuck his wife! no depression!’ to my mantras for living

as the world gets scarier and more uncertain, we have to make sure not to lose sight of what matters most: castrophizing as much as possible and tearing eachother apart over small stupid details

I can't stop thinking about this tweet the like phrasing on this is hilarious to me

Kaiba truly does not know what he owes to the fact that in becoming friends with Yugi Joey has decided to turn over a new leaf and stop bullying and try to do right by his new little buddy. Like Kaiba could’ve gotten decked so many times, and would have deserved it, but Joey is just really dedicated to this new friendship and card games lifestyle. If Kaiba had showed up just a few months earlier when Joey was still in a gang and tried to call him a dog even one time he would have been in the hospital before he could finish saying “fourth rate deck.” Like he has NO clue how lucky he got off.

I think there are some people missing the point a bit it's not "pokemon released a new game and it's bad" (somewhat subjective opinion, there will be and there are already players who love the game) its "this new pokemon game is bad because it's a result of what happens when companies try to figure out the minimum of humanity they have to grant their employees" (fact as proven by the horrific work conditions documented by employees and journalists alike)

Mr. J, what is your opinion on bath time?

Bath time is really unreasonable! If I worry about my landlady and go her bathroom because sometimes she spends a long time but she often splashes a bit of water to me unreasonably!! I only worry about her!
