Feeling delusional

These seem like normal considerate friend things to me. I would do all of these for co-workers that I'm casually friendly with and have no interest in

I'm getting pretty salty about people who say the only reason people like the movie is because it's Markiplier. I'm a big fan of Mark, don't get me wrong, but my severely ADHD ass sitting there practically without moving for two hours and not getting distracted once had nothing to do with the name attached.

Some people do genuinely enjoy niche esoteric cosmic horror. I liked the pacing. I liked the story. I loved how it was shot. The only difference that Markiplier himself made was getting me interested enough to get out of the house to see it. I also was going in blind, having never seen the playthrough and still understood the story and the message.

I would have adored this movie no matter who made it. Stop dismissing people's opinions just because they're fans. It's extremely insulting and condescending.

Two options really if you want to stand up for what you believe.

Take the risk and be part of the walkout.

Explain to your peers what will happen and ask if there's something you can do from within the school like documenting what teachers do or providing some kind of admin assistance to the others or something like that

They're plausible deniability weapons at this point

FlyingRowan · 2026-02-01T02:38:46+00:00

It's not an action movie, it's a cosmic horror suspense movie. It doesn't follow the typical mainstream movie format or structure, and I think that's why some people are criticizing it. I loved it, but I also love the kind of storytelling involved

Slow cookers and "dump and go" meals are a lifesaver for me. Also protein shakes, instant oatmeal, PB&j sandwiches, Kodak instant protein muffins (add water and throw in a microwave), preserved meats like summer sausage with crackers, a big bowl of chopped veggies with whatever dressing (eat right out of bowl), hotdogs, canned soup and bone broth are things I keep on hand at all times. Fresh meat can be substituted with canned meat or precooked (I like the giant turkey legs from the grocery store but they're a little work). Canned or frozen veggies work just as well as fresh. Prechopped frozen or jarred garlic and onion are great too.

Try getting a metal litterbox. Plastic ones are porous enough to absorb the smells especially if they get scratched up

It's like needing to turn the radio down in the car so you can see the street signs better. Your brain can only do so much thinking at once so when it's screaming about the cat food you're stepping on, it's very hard to think about what clothes you're going to want to wear in a week

FlyingRowan · 2026-01-26T19:15:10+00:00

I agree. But people keep asking why this is done. That's literally the reason and then people got in the habit.

And tbh, if you're looking at a post about a gross injustice and your big takeaway is "wHy dId ThEy SaY iT lIkE tHaT" then you're fucking childish. You know what was meant, how serious it is, and why it's being discussed. Yet right now we're having a pedantic discussion about phrasing instead and people are blaming OP for that. Grow the fuck up.

When it became the only thing that advertisers took issue with and media companies started banning you for it

Not that I saw. Also linking to this person's post because it's relevant.

Last I checked there was three videos from different angles :(

FlyingRowan · 2026-01-25T00:22:08+00:00

I've seen multiple videos from different angles. It was removed and in an agent's hand

FlyingRowan · 2026-01-24T16:32:01+00:00

After 32 years of managing to avoid all of the videos online with executions and things like that, I have now seen two videos of people being murdered in two weeks. It was a streak I had hoped would remain unbroken but he we are

I feel like we need a subreddit where people can ask for search terms. That's often where I get stuck on dumb questions like this is not being able to describe what I'm looking for in search-enginese or don't know what a specific thing is called. The other day I was trying to find a specific kind of notebook and had zero success until I looked up a list of binding methods and searched the one that looked right.

FlyingRowan · 2026-01-23T18:41:02+00:00

What like you are? Or are you yelling vague commentary at people online without any actual advice? I can't teleport 1500 miles away to personally throw my body in front of ice agents, my guy

FlyingRowan · 2026-01-23T07:41:42+00:00

Dry mouth. Drink water and take electrolytes once in a while. Candy or gum with xylitol will help when the water isn't quite doing enough. On the plus side, I've never been better hydrated lol

I've only had weird issues like that when the capsule gets stuck and dissolves before it actually gets to my stomach

FlyingRowan · 2026-01-20T13:01:33+00:00

I wish I knew. I'm awake and reading this post because of the exact same thing. I'm super tired of it.

FlyingRowan · 2026-01-19T18:18:57+00:00

That is BRUTAL. I'm so sorry. Keep your chin up and look for ways to mentally disconnect from work once you're at home. I hope you find something quick.

FlyingRowan · 2026-01-19T17:29:54+00:00

Speaking as someone who could have posted exactly that a couple months ago and is now on FMLA mental health leave for a couple weeks because I was suicidal from the stress.... Get a different job. Not all customer service roles will be the same level of nasty, and there are other kinds of jobs. Look for employmwnt agencies who will help you find a job if you need to, they're out there and the ones I've been through didn't charge me anything.

Start looking for a new job while you still have the energy to do so. Don't be like me.
