The best bits of 30 rock are when they make fun of how genuinely bad snl is most of the time.

Having a sad life is not the same thing as depression.

Depression is a condition that persists regardless. Bad bouts are often triggered by legit shitty things happening, but unlike non-depressives who can react appropriate to the scale of the shitty thing and remember that it’s a temp problem, depression encourages black and white thinking.

Depression is knowing in your heart that this is the worst thing in the world, is because you’re irredeemably broken, and will never change or get better. In reality, that’s not true.

Like most chronic health issues, symptoms ebb and flow, so sometimes you can be talked down or see the light yourself. Othertimes you cannot.

We’re all just organisms responding to factors outside of our control.

The available responses we have are determined by our environment and thus outside our control and which response our brain determines to use is based on the sum total of things that have happened to us - also beyond our control.

We watch our determinstic universe unfold before our eyes, the only possible way it could have, and then start blaming or applauding ourselves. As if a falling seed deserves scorn for where the wind took it.

He was a shitbag and he ruined barrens chat.

Yeah as concerning as the present historical moment is to live through, i’m really excited about the light it can shine on the past - what imperial transitions look like.

Pointing out what a shitbag someone is seems entirely appropriate for the comments of a shitposting community though.

This is such a good episode! “Please remain in the relaxation grotto? Were crueller words ever spoken?!”

In 2015, Tu Youyou won the nobel in medicine for a breakthrough anti-malarial drug her team discovered by compiling and testing tcm malarial remedies.

I spent like 6 months in 雲南 and 18 in 台灣 but yeah i’m not familiar with 台山.

But for years afterwards people who i talked to would ask me about thailand, even a close friend took like 6 months to understand no, not thailand, somewhere else. I think most places you could speak cantonese and say you’re from cambodia and no one would bat an eyelid 😆

Or I could pretend to be from Taiwan… most people probably can’t tell anyways, its just the same Mandarin to them

If you say you’re from taiwan, i think many people will say, “oh i love thai food!” 😆

only apply to TCM products that are injected intramuscularly or intravenously, not to the remedies widely taken by mouth

The potential harm from injections seems like a good reason to tackle them. I suspect wider TCM has too much support to be worth taking on.

In fairness, TCM has produced a nobel prize winning medicine, so forcing more legit research on it could produce some interesting results - in addition to dispelling a lot of potentially harmful nonsense.

When i worked in a mall there were no staff bathrooms.

I came to refer to the sound of nearby-diarrhea as “ringng the taco bells”.

If you want to see the worst slop, roll your hand over the keyboard and search that on youtube.

I work in mental health and when a client did that, it was all ai kidslop. Videos with titles like “kkkkkkllllllll;;;;;;;” that are clearly designed specifically to be found by under-supervised children.

Such a great line! Right up there with “Zaphod’s just this guy, you know?” And the bit about the marketing division of the sirius cybernetics corp being the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Revelations is not a prophecy about today and cannot describe anything contemporary to us. It was a political allegory about what was going on at the time of it’s writing.

March/April, looks-like when the Middle-East goes kablooey … 2 mutually-exclusive “humankind"s occupying the same planet, & the global-deathmatch begins

When none of this happens i hope you will abandon these ideas and not trying to modify them.

I’m pretty sure that’s Eccentrica Gallumbits, the triple breasted whore of eroticon 6.

The decision follows weeks of speculation about the fate of the pilot. Sources described it as “not perfect,” noting the Zhao’s sensibility may not have been the perfect match for the reboot. …

There had been talk about reworking the pilot as recently as earlier this week. In the end, Hulu opted not to proceed with it but remains high on the Buffy IP and plans to regroup and mull a possible new incarnation of the beloved franchise.

So either it was bad or it was taking it in a direction they weren’t confident fans would appreciate? I’d be curious for more details but i dunno if we’ll get them.

Whoever thought of this one must have been so proud of themselves. It’s impossible not to read it in his voice. That line is very rodney dangerfield.

The Justice Department called the violence an attack plotted by antifa operatives but attorneys for the accused denied that characterization, saying there were no antifa associations and that it was merely a demonstration with fireworks before gunshots broke out.

The regime lied about what happened, lied about the protesters having any links to antifa groups and grossly misapplied terrorism charges.

But even if it had been exactly what the regime falsely claims it was, it’s undeniable that attacking the guards at a concentration camp deserves a medal of valor.
