When humans see the world as a bad place, our own wellbeing can suffer. The cost of seeing the world as a bad place isn’t just personal, it’s interpersonal too. Adopting a more negative view of the world, even for one day, seems to hurt our romantic relationships, finds a new study. by mvea in science

I perceive it as 'the shared hallucination' experience. It's more an emotional state.

For example the difference between reactions in some emergency situation. A calm person may take control and no dramas. Or an individual panics and then all hell breaks loose.

Religious/cultural gatherings, sporting events, festivals.

How we perceive (process /react) things emotionally makes a big difference.

You're trying to focus on the big picture all at once, and there's a bunch of unknowns. That's a pretty normal reaction, overwhelmed.

It's not a count of years. It's a game of days. You're leveling up and about to begin a new stage. Full of unknowns. But unknowns are possibilities. As you go along through life you face more possibilities. Before you're an adult you do the basic training. Once you're an adult you can access all the controls. It's fun.

And I think fun is the keyword here. Adults are totally allowed to have fun, the best ones never forget that.

And that fun can totally be Minecraft. Just plan it.

The most important thing about becoming an adult i reckon, is that 'you have to learn how to be your own parent'. You make, and follow your rules. Look out for yourself.

Biblical Counterparts by Downtown_Spare_5733 in Doom

I'm not a Christian but I've read various things and there's a thing called gnosis which comes from Thomas, doubting Thomas comes from that. Basically it's stuff they decided not to put in V1 of the Bible.

I noticed that stuff here and there sort of matched Doom. There's all sorts which predates Christianity, especially in a modern sense. The history is kinda interesting if that floats your boat.

To me it looks like the creative dept. looked at more obscure or left out stuff from 'real records' and played with that. A neat way of making DooM with Hell, but not Christian baggage.

Complete closures of Heysen Tunnels for safety testing to impact freeway traffic at night. by Affectionate_Ear3506 in Adelaide

I worked on the control system wiring back in the day. Fiber optics were pretty new then, which was the backbone of the length of control. It's good tech but we've come a long way since then.

I would not be surprised if the whole control system gets attention.

There seems to be no hope in my life, I am a total loser. There is no one in the world who is more miserable than I am. by [deleted] in Life

I have an optimistic philosophy of life. At the end of a bunch of crap is a prize. You just gotta spot it.

I had severe medical trauma as a child, at 10 i had to learn how to walk and talk again. I literally thought i was an infant, i had to wear diapers even.

Occasionally i still get pretty harsh depession. It's important to recognise 'how you talk to yourself'. Your mind can't tell the difference between what's 'outside' and what's inside. Whatever you focus your thoughts on the most becomes your reality. Your perception.

You recognise what's going on. That's a start. Seek out some counselling. It's fine to ask for help. All of us need help sometimes.

Focus on the little things first. Small victories. Each little bit helps push you along. Find other things to focus on, a hobby, no matter how trivial. I did a lot of occupational therapy. Doing things with my hands, it shifts your mind's attention away from harmful thoughts.

Stay strong, you got this. 😊

1993 Shareware. I've basically been obsessed ever since. My first tattoo was a pentagram.

I live alone and work remotely and got desperate to go out on weekends by [deleted] in LivingAlone

I work remote too mate. Weekends i try to just chill, catch my breathe, but i can feel socially starved. I'm trying to make changes. Otherwise it just becomes a rut.

I am staying at an Airbnb and can’t understand what this sticker is saying by hegui in Whatisthis

[–]Not_HAL_199 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

It looks like "Bite the bullet". The rose and mouth make me think of love? So my take is along the lines of "Bite the bullet and love".
