  • I definitely see your point, and this might be a bit of hope posting but they did turn her around a bit. It was 2005 when she was just an evil trampoline (oh my god I think I just made a connection. Say that out loud a time or two), but then in the next season she realizes how much prettier she was before all of the surgery and how much nicer it felt to be kind. Of course, she only has this realization moments before death but I want to believe that there’s an actual positive statement in there







  • Mm, close. You know when a kid gets killed in a shooter game and accuse the enemy of hacking? My brain comes to that sort of conclusion about the fucking inanimate object when it doesn’t move how I want it to.

    Is it dumb as shit? Yeah. Did identifying this stupid behavior in myself help me change it? Hell yeah!



  • The actual practices are neither here nor there. Honestly, I only suggest CBT material because I know you can find knowledge about why your body does things and the less obvious effects those things have on your mental state. You can probably find a lot of the same information in any therapeutic theory, but what’s important is understanding yourself well enough that you can affect those things intentionally as well


  • Nope! I have a superiority complex, which manifests largely in the way that I do things. I flip water bottles when I pick them up, or spin things around quickly and catch them for example.

    However, I’m human and humans are prone to mistakes. Learning to identify when I’m more prone to mistakes than normal and reducing those flashy behaviors has helped me a lot with my anger issues


  • Of course! Look into some breathing exercises and maybe poke around a bit into some CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy, not the other one lol… Well maybe the other one if you think it’ll help) theory. Just understanding why your body does stuff can make a huge difference in what it actually does.

    Since my therapist taught me about my cortisol levels a while back, it’s become a lot easier for me to identify things like “I’m anxious right now, so my cortisol levels are going up which is going to reduce how elegantly I can perform tasks. I should opt for less flashy movements to cause myself less frustration” and then my anxiety goes down regardless of how I actually change my behavior




  • The problem isn’t conducting the search with voice, it’s receiving any actual information back. A few years ago I would ask a question and receive an answer based off the top few results, and if it couldn’t scrape something together it would just give me the results instead.

    I haven’t used voice search in a while because of the issues that started to arise, but I have less fond memories of “hey Siri, answer this.” And then having to go find my phone anyway to Google it because she was useless
