Most of the important world events are discussed in the news mega. I do agree that this place is less informative to some degree though, people very rarely make big posts about theory anymore like they did on chapotraphouse or chapo.chat. I think that's because most users have been around for a while and we've all been through the basic discussions of Marx and Lenin.
Isn't it funny how the entire West has been in an effective recession for the past four years and yet nobody is acting like there's any kind of economic crisis. This can't be how it felt in 2008
great work comrade!
I am once again promoting my pro-nudity agenda
God I love Evangelion. A lot of people don't like it, and frankly there is a lot not to like about it, but honestly there is no more impactful media in my life. I can personally attribute a big portion of my development to Evangelion.
spoiler for the theme of End of Evangelion, nothing plot-related. Also CW for mental health, depression and suicide.
The message of EoE, or what spoke to me, was that life comes with hardship. There is no perfect world in which everything is easy and nothing goes wrong and you don't have to grow. To wish for such a world is to wish to be a god, or to be dead. To wish that everything was easy is to wish that nothing had any meaning.
I was incredibly an incredibly depressed and suicidal teen when I found Evangelion. In the first few episodes, Shinji asks why he shouldn't run away from his problems. Why shouldn't he avoid something that makes him unhappy? I was watching this and thinking, yes, Shinji is right, do what you enjoy in the moment and nothing else matters. I was constantly skipping school so I could go home and play video games, watch anime and develop a porn addiction. I thought that by merely doing what I wanted and avoiding what was hard for me, I could make myself happy. This didnt work. I was still depressed, I just didn't recognise it.
Shinji learns the value of connection throughout the show. The "hedgehog's dilemma" is brought up - the idea that hedgehogs want to be close to each other, but will prick each other with their spines. Getting close to someone might hurt. It's hard, and it could go wrong.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. You should try things that could go wrong. You can learn from your mistakes. You are allowed to be imperfect.
It's worth the risk of getting hurt, if it means you might be happier. It's worth trying to live a happy life, because when youre already depressed, you have nothing to lose.
I think I was 15 when I watched Eva, only one year older than Shinji. Depression was not new to me. I had tried to kill myself, and given up on living a happy life. My plan was to simply make it to 18, use up all my money on indulgances, and kill myself. Now I'm alive, as an adult, and I want things. I want to protect my friends and be loved and make a better world. I don't want to die anymore. And I attribute a lot of that to the message of Evangelion, which told me so directly, like nothing else ever has, that life is worth living, not in spite of the uncertainty, but because of it. Because uncertainty is a part of living, and living a life trying to avoid it is not living at all
Anyway. Don't try to understand the lore, it's not important and doesn't make any sense. Things will just happen. Don't worry about how or why. The actual plot of this show makes next to no sense if you just watch the original 26 episodes.
He could be but he isn't. I think he just pretends to read the terms and conditions so that if anyone comes in they'll think he's actually reading them
Yeah but can you have your boobs and willy out
My dad ALWAYS reads the terms and conditions and then agrees to them anyway
I don't wanna doxx myself by saying what group I'm in, but the socialist party are cringe trots who interfere in any real organization and try to turn everything towards electoralism. But the good communists are the ones in the orgs that aren't electoral politics
Ireland's military is pathetically weak and underfunded. Ireland does need a proper military, but not because of Russia. So often I see redditors shrieking about how Russia could invade Ireland at any moment if they wanted to - like they think Russia is an existential enemy of Ireland.
Ireland needs a functioning military because there is a foreign imperialist country occupying the north of our country, and is the only actual threat to our national security. The UK is the only country which has invaded Ireland in the past 1000 years, and has done a very good job of oppressing and colonising, and now liberal dipshits think we should join NATO and team up with the British because of fucking Russia.
I work in a small bar. Nobody at all has come in yet. It is absolutely lashing it down. I can hear the rain pounding on the roof and the occasional clap of thunder.
I am inside and warm and this is easily the best day of work ever. I love storms so much
I visited Valencia a couple months ago and this park is so beautiful. The entire thing is built into a dried-out riverbed, so the trees have the space to grow up to and above street level.
Valencia is a beautiful city in general, so much greenery, but this park in particular stood out to me as a great integration of urbanism and nature.
And that's not a joke. I actually can't think of any single assignment I've had in college that I haven't submitted the day it was due because I was procrastinating (I probably have ADHD but diagnosis is expensive).
But I started my research for this three days ago, wrote up half of the essay yesterday, and finished it today. I sat down and read 25 pages of an academic text in one sitting, which was honestly a big achievement for me - it only took half an hour, but I really struggle to stay focused on that kind of thing. It's due tomorrow at 10pm, and I submitted it at like 8pm today. That's one thing I don't have to worry about now.
I've submitted assignments literal seconds before the they were due in the past, so this feels like progress to me.
This is what Fujimoto was doing before chainsaw man. I dunno what the fuck he was cooking. This manga has a lot to say about gender and I don't hink I understand any of it
Gym bros are mostly very insecure men who think that being strong and looking healthy will make people like them and women attracted to them. They are very vulnerable to being sucked in by pseudoscience.
