the cookies you accept, the addons you have, hell, even the size of your monitor when you maximalise the window is a part of your browser fingerprint
anyone who's ever downloaded the Tor browser will know it. that browser screams at you if you try to maximalise or install addons exactly because of that
if you enjoy puppets and songs
the Puppet History on this event!
personally, the song in this episode is my favourite
ohhh because the player is behind the fourth wall, as opposed to following a character's back that still allows for immersion
hmm, i do wonder which causes which. Depression makes you prone to addictions as you seek anything to give you the happy chemicals. But constant social media exposure is rather harmful when you just take it all in, and that can cause depression Especially if you don't block keywords for war coverages and politics.
i stand firm in my opinion that human brains are straight up not designed to take in a constant stream of bad news from around the world, which sucks because we are designed to focus on negatives for our survival. Memories of accidents and deaths take priority over nice memories so that we can avoid dangers better. from evolution's point of view you being happy is an afterthought, you just need to live long enough to fuck. and across history it worked! we never had to distinguish between dangers nearby and dangers so far away it literally does not matter for you, as all news were brought by foot or with an otherwise huge time delay - they were either nearby or already history, and only one or two at a time. well, never... until today, and our neuroplasticity doesn't seem to be enough to counter this, and evolution doesn't work fast enough to fix this
Could also be a vicious cycle where if you trip and fall once both will create a negative synergy where you try to drown your sorrows in addictive doomscrolling, which only makes you worse
is it a fun fact that impacts nothing? i'll accept it as fact immediately and without question
is it a fact that has some weight to it? i'll probably double check and if i find a reliable source that also claims it to be fact i'll accept it (if i'm reading about it from a reliable source i will accept it immediately)
is it a fact that contradicts my current beliefs/understanding of the world? i'll do some research on it, check if there's any recent articles like "that thing you thought was right? is not!", and depending on the nature of the fact think about why it's been debunked and how that changed my perception on the world
it's one of the gayest things you can do in fact
your fidget spinner looks like it wouldn't spin very well
if they can't do it on their own, and also assuming their aversion to introspection extends to psychologists too... well, if they ever express a desire to try psychadelics do encourage them. if there's one thing that can force you to look in, it's that. but let me reiterate - encourage them if they independently come up with the idea, don't drug them (obviously), don't push them towards it, make sure they are able to give informed consent to trying
he could also see how much fun the other kids are having with the trucks and decided to try playing with them after all
so that person is both wasting people's time, and possibly making their current team feel unnerved and replacable. galaxy brain move truly
they were already giving dolphins LSD, masturbating them and trying to make them speak English, i think we should just let them have their pufferfish
