person with the worst boundaries youve ever met in your life: i just decided to become a therapist!!

Aaaaaand that is why we do not like Psych class folks. Every psych major I have ever met falls into one of 4 categories:

1. Is a pushover with no sense of personal self worth/bad boundaries and struggling usually with depression or some undiagnosed neurodivergency and are using their major to try to figure themselves out

2. Are grandiose MF's with White Knight Syndrome who think "helping" other people in their own little proscribed way will gain them limitless praise and attention (possible undiagnosed personality disorders in there)

3. Actually Self Reflective people with patience and a very calm demeanor. (Can overlap with #1)

4. The Armchair Doctors who use their major to diagnose people with everything; usually also have a bad habit of putting thoughts in people's heads and words in their mouths.

I used to be in category 1, but have slid over into category 3 following actual therapy. I live with someone in category 4, and have had several classmates in category 2. My therapists have all told me I would be a fantastic candidate for their job and divulged what the major (in my case a minor) would take. When i asked if the above statement was my own bias or something like the truth, both of my Therapists AND my psychiatrist agreed: these are The Four Basic Flavors of Psych Major. 1 and 3 are usually the only ones who survive. Uuuuusually. Of course you dont need a licence to practice therapy soooo there are those that slip through the cracks.

(Nursing is even worse)

He is so eepy

hate how having a special interest in a character will turn u into a giggly little anime schoolgirl im like kicking my legs and squealing into a pillow and and blushing and smiling like an idiot and its like Oh yeah no this about a guy who should be in federal prison. yeah. yeah like unforgivable crimes

STOP TAGGING THIS WITH CHARACTERS WHOSE WORST CRIME IS THE MORAL EQUIVALENT OF TAX FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they need to be someone that chronically online twitter users will accuse you of being immoral for liking because what they did is so awful. i will not stand for this

surely not. surely you jest

the novelty of having pets really does never wear off i’ve had my cat for ten years and i still look at him strolling around like can you believe this. a cat. is everyone seeing this. he’s alive he has bones and all. unbelievable

:)

Never thought I’d see the day cooking would be used as a power up for exorcism and to further character development :D

Can I also say it’s just so sweet that Osceola’s knowledge (who’s been a strong but secondary character until fairly recently, i love him and his design so much tho) resonates with Rin on such a personal level? 

After all, cooking is the one thing Shiro thought hard about and decided that Rin would study at home with him…

because Rin needed an efficient way to learn how to control his strength. 

Now we reached a point in the story when Rin admits to “having defeated his demon side” and controlling his flame, talking to Yukio about his doubts, and Sensei parallels it in the same chapter with…

…Rin actively learning about the field of talismanic cooking.

Also, I love how, little by little, Sensei highlights how Rin’s objectives have changed throughout the story, because of what he learnt about himself and about the dual world (made of Assiah and Gehenna) that they live in. In shonen series, the hero(es) often have one or several immovable goal(s) to achieve but Rin’s have steadily evolved. He initially wanted to kick Satan’s butt for Shiro’s death, but now…

…he realizes there’s just too much he doesn’t understand to be sure of what he can actually do. 

EDIT: To elaborate, this was foreshadowed way back, during the Kyoto arc, that without understanding of both sides Rin would never become a bridge between Assiah and Gehenna…

…and once more in the Aomori arc…

…but it’s good that he started mentioning these doubts to people around him.

After all, in that alternate future that Mephy saw, Rin became the “demon king”, leader of the demon army, meaning that Rin’s hesitation is worth expanding on, or he’ll choose one side and fight against the other before long and I don’t think this is the answer Kato-sensei is going for. Yukio (with whom he discussed in this chapter) has just always been on the more careful side of things (also he’s like 16 years old) compared to, say, Shura…

…who understands that Rin’s situation has no precedent and that, at some point, Rin has to follow his instinct (still vouching that he’ll have to travel to Gehenna to gain more understanding of the situation but hey, I could be wrong). 

Additionally, Rin also once said, early in the story, that he wanted to become Paladin, because that’s the title Shiro held before dying (and maybe also out of animosity towards Arthur), but reading this chapter, I found myself relieved thinking that Rin’s true calling might finally be upon us. :)) To say nothing of the fact that Paladins are previous Section 13′s Baal clones who are chained to the Order, I think the Paladin title (a very specific position at the top of the Order’s hierarchy) would suit Yukio or Bon more than Rin. 

Great chapter!! :D

saw this on twitter

Funniest thing about Ruin so far is that it suggests Monty is possibly the youngest member of the band.

Most interesting thing is that, considering the sequence when Monty is hunting Cassie down while in the water, that these animatronics can not only remain buoyant, but that they're designed to be so waterproof that they can be torn in half with numerous wires and internal gears exposed and somehow still survive in the water.

all right, I think I got this, I've got dual citizenship and I have another flag we can borrow from:

Yo so never let anyone police or guilt trip you when it comes to how you spend your own hard earned cash.

Do what you want with your money. No seriously. Sure there are more morally correct ways to spend your cash, just as there are morally repugnant ways to spend it. But the point is its YOURS so you can do what you like with it.

Don't let self righteous people on tumblr tell you you are a bad person for not giving every penny you own to charity, or for daring to buy fast fashion rather than ethically sourced clothing, for shopping at Amazon Prime instead of small businesses. For wanting to purchase CRABS on tumblr for the fun of it on a dedicated fun day for crabs.

Remember how in the Good Place literally everyone was going to Hell because they lost "good points" even by just buying tomatos? We can't win. The world is fucked up. As much as "every little helps" its also a drop in the ocean of fuckery caused by the 1% at the top. So live your lives, and if you wanna buy fucking crabs buy the fucking crabs. Give money to this website to keep it running if thats what you want to do, or don't, if you dont want to. Your money. You choose how to spend it.

Enough with the stupid discourse now. Do whatever you want always.

I'm probably gonna buy some dumb crabs. If you have a problem with my buying dumb crabs, block me. I really dont give a shit.

Bon bon??? Whacha readin???

oh cassie we really in it now

I know people on tumblr looove stories of underwater cave diving, but I haven't seen anyone talk about nitrogen narcosis aka "raptures of the deep"

basically when you want to get your advanced scuba certification (allowing you to go more than 60 feet deep) you have to undergo a very specific test: your instructor takes you down past the 60+ foot threshold, and she brings a little underwater white board with her.

she writes a very basic math problem on that board. 6 + 15. she shows it to you, and you have to solve it.

if you can solve it, you're good. that is the hardest part of the test.

because here's what happens: there is a subset of people, and we have no real idea why this happens only to them, who lose their minds at depth. they're not dying, they're not running out of oxygen, they just completely lose their sense of identity when deep in the sea.

a woman on a dive my instructor led once vanished during the course of the excursion. they were diving near this dropoff point, beyond which the depth exceeded 60 feet and he'd told them not to go down that way. the instructor made his way over to look for her and found a guy sitting at the edge of the dropoff (an underwater cliff situation) just staring down into the dark. the guy is okay, but he's at the threshold, spacing out, and mentally difficult to reach. they try to communicate, and finally the guy just points down into the dark, knowing he can't go down there, but he saw the woman go.

instructor is deep water certified and he goes down. he shines his light into the dark, down onto the seafloor which is at 90 feet below the surface. he sees the woman, her arms locked to her sides, moving like a fish, swimming furiously in circles in the pitch black.

she is hard to catch but he stops her and checks her remaining oxygen: she is almost out, on account of swimming a marathon for absolutely no reason. he is able to drag her back up, get her to a stable depth to decompress, and bring her to the surface safely.

when their masks are off and he finally asks her what happened, and why was she swimming like that, she says she fully, 100% believed she was a mermaid, had always been a mermaid, and something was hunting her in the dark 👍

I cannot even begin to say how incorrect all of this is.

Yes, nitrogen narcosis is a real phenomenon that can severely impair your abilities to function.

No, it won't cause severe hallucinations at 60 ft unless there is something really wrong with your health to begin with.

60ft is generally the limit for certifications for people who are new to diving/who are just doing recreational diving. You can fairly easily be certified up to 100ft/130ft (depending on what cert you get) with just a little extra training, and most of that training is based around safe ascension and decompression risk, as well as safely timing your dive length and the amount of time at surface level between dives.

At 60ft, you might get some mildly impaired judgement, and you usually get a bit calmer, as if you drank a cocktail. Major symptoms generally don't start to show up until after 100 feet, and they tend to manifest as severely impaired judgement, risk taking, poor memory, etc, rather than blatant hallucinations. Hallucination territory begins somewhere around the 140-150+ foot mark (around 60m, so perhaps this post confused meters and feet?), which is also an entirely unreasonable depth for any hobbyist diver to want to go to. for deep diving, there are also special air mixes you can be trained to use, which reduce the risk of nitrogen narcosis.

Scuba diving has very real risks, but, as long as you're diving shallower than 100 ft and are properly trained in safety protocols, nitrogen narcosis really isn't a massive issue.

I LOBE YOUR STULE SM

Brain is not wellnagh.

I feel like who mock crab day are doing so in a way that (purposefully or accidentally, I can’t tell) misses the point.

As your local anti-capitalist, who will be participating in crab day:

Nobody thinks that tumblr is going to reverse all of the bad changes to its site if we do this. Nobody thinks that this site is without its awful shit (see: flagging queer content as mature). Nobody is seeing a corporation as our friend.

But here are the simple facts:

I don’t think anyone thinks that we’ll get tumblr completely out of debt, or anything like that. But it IS an attempt to show that tumblr doesn’t have to become like every other social media to be profitable.

It’s a call for tumblr staff to work with its existing userbase, rather than try and find a new userbase with all of these shitty changes. Like, they SEE that the existing userbase is against giving them money. Do you think that’ll make them listen to what we want? No! So they’re trying to get new users; ones who make actually be profitable! Because, even if you don’t like it, we DO live in a world where you have to be profitable if you want to keep a product you like alive.

Staff is at least somewhat aware of the userbase’s current discussions. They know (for example) how goddamn bad we want NSFW content back. They know about Goncharov, they know about the site being called a “hellsite”, they knew about the great Reddit migration. This effort has the possibility to be noticed by the higher-ups, and it obviously isn’t going to fix the site, but it might do something, and that’s more that we can say for just posting to our blogs about how much the new changes suck.

Not to mention that, generally speaking, staying afloat comes first for corporations. There is a very low chance that tumblr staff will address any of the actual issues (like porn bots and queer content being auto-flagged) while it’s still in the red. If it becomes financially stable, then it is possible (not certain, but possible) that staff may be able to put more resources into fixing the stuff we actually care about.

So, like… With crabs being chosen because they’re the cheapest item available (making participating in crab day as non-consequential as getting a candy bar), why not give it a try?
