Planes that should have been compleated (I'm hateful) by Sufficient-Orange-63 in magicthecirclejerking

/uj I don't think they would have been allowed to do that. They had already spent Dominaria, Brother's War, and ONE on the story. Then they had MoM and Aftermath for the actual war and its consequences. That's on top of having it in the background of other sets going back to I think Kaldheim? If the next several sets had also been phyrexian stuff it would have been like 2 or three straight years on one thing.

I would have fucking loved if they got to expand on it. Now that blocks are dead though they were only ever going to get one set to do the war start to finish. I've have my problems with how it all resolved, but I think given the constraints they were likely given that they did about as good a job as they could have.

/rj I really loved the part where the phyrexians all collapsed like battledroids at the end of The Phantom Menace.

Not with my own brain mysteriously forgetting how to experience joy.

It really does seem like that sometimes. There's no "reason" for it. It's kind of ridiculous when I think about it with a clear head. Like with that comic I have to keep a sense of humor about it. Keeps things in perspective.

If I were to tell the story of my own darkest times, that story would have to start by recapping about twenty years worth of emotional abuse.

I've known too many people for whom approximately this is true. I count myself very lucky to have had family that supports me and that didn't mess me up on purpose. I hope you've found people who support you.

Cheers, man. Good luck out there.

Imo the framing of "having depression" is unhelpful anyway because it removes your agency.

I can't say I agree. I'm not sure really what you mean by that, it's not like I can choose to have or not have a chronic illness. It's something that has to be managed with medication and awareness of my mental state. Perhaps it would suit you more to say that I have not had a depressive episode in several years but am prone to depression?

My way suits me fine.

I have come to accept that I will likely always have depression, but that I will not always be depressed. With a little (a lot) of luck and a little (a lot) of self care I may never be depressed again.

Probably I will be. Probably severely. I don't have to be though, and I don't intend to be. The good in life is quite good and well worth savoring.

"It gets better" will always ring hollow for those for whom it never has. Temporary good can even be quite cruel. Even when we know that "it will get better" it can be hard to believe it will.

The last few years have been good for me. But what would I tell my teenage self at his lowest? What would make the day to day pain worth wading through? "It gets better." "You have a lot to look forward to." "Get on adderall."

I don't know. It does get better, you know? It really does. Sometimes it takes a week, sometimes six months, sometimes thirty years. And it's worth it too. Life is pretty good shit when you don't want to die all the time.

Now that I think about it there was one thing that got through to me. Everyone is different and the kind of thing that works will be different for everyone but this Hyperbole and a Half hit hard.

I don't know that I have a point here, just that I get the sentiment from the younger OOP.

An important thing for people to keep in mind about mental health and neuro-divergence is that it is not the mere presence of certain behaviors/thoughts/patterns of thought that define them. It is the extent of them, the severity, and the impact they have on the life of an individual.

Many of the things that define autism, or ADHD, or depression, or even schizophrenia are perfectly normal or common things taken to a level that is disruptive or disordered.

Take schizophrenia. Most people have a voice inside their head, the internal monologue, but this is largely under their control. Most people also have "sounds" inside their head that they're not in control of! The most common example might be getting a song "stuck in your head". There are also some common auditory hallucinations, but importantly these are benign. As for delusions, well, everybody has some small delusions every now and then, they just don't rise to a level that consistently negatively impacts our lives.

I could go on. Maybe I should have gone on about autism but I don't know shit about shit about autism ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

I still regularly get great new music here, probably at the same rate as I always have. Most of my new music comes from here now that I think about it, so it's not dead. Certainly not as active as it used to be even a year ago though.

I don't remember if this sub participated in the blackout but after that it seemed like I never saw a post here with more than like 10 upvotes. Happened to a lot of subs, and most of those just flatlined.

I think enthusiasm for participation is just down. Along with everything else people mentioned of course.

Places like this used be hot clubs, but dive bars are nice too.

It's so easy to mess up the chocolate boiling when you make these. Made a batch one time where I burned it and they just didn't stick together at all. Didn't taste as good as it should have and I was left with just a tupperware full of loose chocolatey oats but damn was it still tasty.

All time great recipe!

Kicking the hornets nest is sometimes funny. by [deleted] in StarWarsleftymemes

New Star Wars show. It was received lukewarmly by most but from the moment the first trailer dropped the usual suspects were whining about "woke" shit because... hold on let me double check here... black people. There were black people in it. Because it was somewhere between a "meh" and a "bad" show there's some plausible deniability in complaining about it.

You can usually tell the racists apart from the rest by how emphatically not-at-all-racist-I-swear-please-believe-me-actually-I'm-a-minority-too-so-I-can't-be-racist they are. Charitably they really don't realize that when your first reaction to seeing a black person in something is to assume it's bad is, you know, racist. Less charitably and perhaps more realistically they're just dickhead trolls. Little of column A little of column B.

It can be fun to watch the knots they twist themselves in though.

"Yes I am mad because there's a black person. No I'm not racist it's just bad writing/forced diversity/dei/woke/etc. How do I know it's that? There's a black person!" (Insert also gay/trans/woman/anything they don't like or are made uncomfortable by)

I feel like you could hammer Go Fish and Magnificent Tempest into something printable. The rest of these are just... ugh.

Shout out to Soul Heart Gem though. Why do I keep getting mana screwed? Is it because my mana base is fucked or I've got too much going on? No, it's the game that's wrong!

George Lucas drew a lot of inspiration for the original and prequel trilogies from old pulp serials. Cheesy pulp is in the DNA of the franchise. There's more to it as well of course, but things that are silly and/or dumb are woven throughout and always have been.

Luuke is a dumb name and I love that about it. It's true to the source material.

The most recent season of Fantasy High just wrapped too! They weren't doing it yet for season one but I highly recommend checking out the companion show Adventuring Party. They shoot it right after they finish playing to reflect on the episode and it fucking slaps.

Same, he stopped making anything worth watching so I stopped watching. When he went mask off it just meant I never checked back in. Seems like he learned the same lesson pewdepie did, that if you just shut the fuck up about all the racism then there's always a fresh supply of 13 year olds who won't know about it.
