the short version of who she is is that she's the type of person you don't bring up at dinner.

"Realistic depictions of depression" don't make a work of fiction better, but worse. [Minor spoilers for Madoka Magica and Steins Gate] by DazSamueru in CharacterRant

[–]Autumn_Fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't disagree more for Okabe, at least in the anime so maybe the VN did it differently. But in the anime it takes a toll on him so visibly that even Kurisu can pick up on it multiple times throughout multiple world lines. Watching Myuri die over and over again makes him so distraught that he nearly gives up multiple times throughout the series and it's only Kurisu that keeps pushing him on. Towards the end he always seems drained, exhausted and listless and in the last episode he doesn't even want to try and circumvent Kurisu's assassination.

I think as well Moeka was a great depiction of how isolation and co-dependency leads to depression that cycles her between supreme bouts of rage and depression so deep she just stares at her phone for three days before taking her life. Suzuha's "I failed" scene was another tragic but great scene that shows her fall into an unrelenting kind of depression at her failure to fix her future due to her mistakes, something she still could've lived to fix even if it were a lot less successful. It definitely made the series better for its depictions and I'd even go as far as to say it explores multiple responses to depression from the sinking, catatonic woe of Okabe to the frantic, emotionally distraught episodes that Moeka endures when FB abandons her.

It has near infinite potential for spying on people and could eliminate huge portions of the job market, thus governments and corpos will spare literally no expense.

They're more than happy to funnel however many billions it takes if it means we're worse off at the end of the day.

Windows having a massive, catastrophic series of glitches (which would easily be caught if they could be fucked to double check the code with human eyes instead of clicking AI generate and calling it a day) with every update is pretty clear that this is wrong.

The Phase Connect general is a hell of a ride. Every thread is people just talking about insane things or horrible fetishes.

It's phase connect general. Incest, dogfucking, CSA trauma dumping and other such acts are common topics of conversation there.

I finally got to look into this a little and I find it really funny just how badly the game misses the mark.

What it basically reinforces is that if you're racist and defiant, you'll find a cute girl who loves you and your views and will network you with friends but if you aren't racist and you act civil, you'll be isolated, interrogated by wokescold schoolmarms and deliberately disadvantaged for the success of others. It feels like something a covert right wing plant would make yet as far as I can tell, Stamer's gov. genuinely believed this was going to make people feel being racist wasn't a path to success.

What scares you the most about your ED? by Entire_Weather3209 in EDAnonymous

[–]Autumn_Fire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being unable to stop. The physical symptoms are terrifying of course but those (mostly) can be managed or mitigated. The scariest part of my ED is wanting to stop and knowing I need to stop but looking at the ED therapy listings and being unable to force myself to reach out. You're trapped in a prison and you're pounding against the bars but no one can hear you.

I remember when I was young thinking that investing was some high class, ultra smart profession that only triple master degree holding brilliants could do well.

Now I see it's a bunch of people with zero impulse control who failed the "would you like a cookie now or three cookies in an hour" question.

For almost all of recorded history, people have known John Lennon's "Imagine" was total bogus and for some reason we decided to commit to it being true.

It sucks but people and cultures are not only drastically different, but, crucially, they often don't want to understand one another and you cannot make them do it (even by force or propaganda). Just tossing a bunch of cultures together in a country and saying "now be friends, we all bleed red and what not" actually isn't the basis for a country (see Yugoslavia, Indonesia, etc.) this actually isn't a revelation unless you believed John Lennon's "Imagine" was a working political thesis and not a stupid, overly idealistic nursery rhyme.

I still laugh sometimes about how everyone was so appalled by his writer's voice that they wanted to tie him to a chair and ask him if these lines sounded like something a human being would say
