    I mean they have to hit you with just the right amount of a lot of things to make you funny, but I’d put a lot of determiners far ahead of any possible correlation to trauma

    • critical/analytical thinking
    • a personality that sees ‘attention’ as a reward
    • strong social drive and desire to please others
    • communication skills

    To be more ‘funny’ than ‘suicidal,’ wouldn’t the right amount of trauma always be as little trauma as possible?








  • I’m to the point where I can tell when some things are poorly translated in the subs—i.e. how they could better be translated to english to convey their original meaning. And if I close my eyes I can definitely understand bits and pieces of the conversation. Anime re-uses lots of phrases and expressions, and some words are very distinctive or even happen to sound like an english counterpart of similar meaning. So I’ve learned a good amount of them from sheer repetitive exposure.

    Honto ni!







  • The immigrant crisis around the globe is also at a tipping point. Climate change and corporate greed have fucked many places in the world out of habitability.

    Immigrants aren’t going to stop coming because the alternative is a slow and miserable death or the threat of cartel governments. Now western countries don’t want to take care of them and don’t want to deal with them at all, because immigrants demand resources and we need all that money to hide in congress’ ratholes.

    Well if we hadn’t fucking destroyed the planet in the blink of an eye maybe they wouldn’t all need to come to europe. If we hadn’t waged this stupid fucking war on drugs then maybe south/central americans wouldn’t need to flee cartel zones for fear of their entire village being beheaded and dumped in a pit.

    America and Europe are only beginning to reap what we’ve sown over the last 50 years and we already want to throw in the towel.

    Shit is going to get far worse, everywhere, imminently.


  • We’re careening towards the tipping point where the commute to my area to work will make it not worth it.

    Jobs around here pay $16-18/hr and I have a couple coworkers who drive 1hr20m each way for that $16

    Meanwhile rent anywhere near here is $1600/mo

    It’s already almost unjustifiable for people to commute to this area to work, and you can’t live around here on the wages these places offer, so everyone is desperately hiring.

    These retail companies are going to fold like a house of fucking cards. And honestly they fucking deserve it. These big chains enjoyed decades of insane profits without raising wages at all, now they have to raise wages for people to even exist and they’re still raising prices on goods to offset their new wage expenditures.

    God forbid these corporate subhumans sacrifice 1% of their profits each year so that the entire economy doesn’t collapse.


  • “Eat the rich” is honestly where we’re headed. And I don’t mean literally eat I mean TAKE THEIR WEALTH.

    Until billionaires are made illegal, and “real estate investment” (i.e. predatory price gouging on homes/apartments) is made illegal, everything is gonna continue getting more fucked. It’s too little too late though, greed has destroyed our planet. We’ve got front row seats to the downturn of human civilization.

    I’m stocking up on canned food, and I’ve never been the doomsday prepper type. Honestly I think we’re about to enter a protracted global depression that makes ‘08 look like a speedbump.
