Yeah, the thing that we’re not focusing on is WHY Gen Z might be experiencing issues with mental health. How we can fix that
A great way to start would be not forcing them to foot the bill for the spendings of pedophiles and war criminals, while telling them that anything they do to resist it is either hateful, a crime, or both
You mean the generation that was raised entirely on phones, that gets less sleep due to increased rates of depression (a known serious mental health condition that shrinks your brain), and is subjected to doomer mindsets daily is declining intellectually?? Color me shocked
Btw I’m gen Z so everything that I just said was okay
I regret to cite the Dalai Lama as a source of wisdom after what we now know about him, but back in high school what really resonated with me was what he said about how owning more possessions can add unnecessary responsibilities to your life that contribute to making it more stressful
Like, DGMW my materialistic ass would be devastated if I lost my collection of Nausicaa figures and Gashapon insect models, but at the same time I can recognize that I’d probably be a lot happier if I never even had to worry about having them
Additionally, the government banning something that it has no business banning just makes us less likely to hate it. The “no pomegranates” approach basically
Anything but coverage on what’s going on in Gaza, Sudan, or Congo
Very telling and insulting that this pointless bullshit is what they choose to publish, out of all things
Me when I visited Tokyo and bought a fuck ton of hyperrealistic articulated beetle models from the capsule vending machines (spent a couple G’s, no regrets)
General Grievous is more like one of those pre-1948 Zionist terrorist leaders fighting the U.S.
On the outside it looks like he’s overthrowing the corrupt institution, but really he’s working for its secret government so that he can contribute to its total compromise and make it even more corrupt
If Grievous really functioned as a meaningful freedom fighter who sought to dismantle the oppression of governments, then he’d never target the vulnerable at the advantage of the Sith
If they were slaves rather than employees who could simply quit their jobs, I’d be more willing to hear your argument
“I wish I had a newly-discovered incurable disease that will make my quality of life harder”
“Granted, you have a new kind of arthritis that causes gold coins to grow inside your joints and fly out of you like popcorn. Your quality of life will suck and there will be constant pain indeed, but riches will be yours”
The muddy snake thing from The Limit
The one who mercilessly exploded a hot dog knight who said “I wish to blow up… I mean like GET BIG-”
That wish WAS stupid, but like… Prismo would have hesitated and listened
His evil plan is to lock you inside a fancy dressing room and give you the FANCIEST menswear ever (so MAGICALLY, demonically fancy, that you drop your jaw from how much it changes your image)
In fact it’s so fancy, that even WOMEN and NONBINARY people immediately try it on, regardless of how they present their own genders. That’s just how powerful his haberdashery is
You will have such a hard time making up your mind picking the most dashing combination of hundreds of trousers, jackets, hats, ties, shoes and undershirts, that you’ll exhaust yourself to death until your life energy is fully depleted
By the time he’s done, his victims turn into very fashionable-looking skeletons that he can then use his magic hat to re-animate into undead gentleminions
It is a very genius plan, idk why you’re hating
Maybe the joke is that if you pretend to be able to read it by not acting confused by the weird gibberish, then anyone can tell that you can’t read
When you’re too high to even realize that the words are in that order, so you just say “Hi, I’m doing pretty good! How about you?”
The joke ends and begins with the flier. I don’t even own a trenchcoat lol
I’m not worried. Nothing on Lemmy ever reaches the Google results page
Sometimes you might not even have a choice, because Reddit’s automated system will think you evaded a subreddit ban even though you didn’t
Obviously everyone farts. I just don’t want it to be acknowledged, in general
Worst part is that if you don’t understand DnD but still want to play other TTRPGs with people then you’re SOOL
A sentiment in my fictional story that I hope reaches the hearts of my audience is that no matter who’s objectively more “smart,” more intelligent, (shown through 4th dimensional beings that demonstrate hubris and malice) ALL life has something that they can teach and something that they can learn from another, no matter what those kinds of differences are
