I was going to switch my pinned post to the best post I’ve ever made but then I remembered that post is long as hell and would make actually scrolling my blog if you just navigated to it a nightmare, so instead I’m linking it here and pinning this. So here is my greatest work and a relevant gifset that I’m still very fond of. Here is my unnecessarily detailed beginner’s guide to how to start watching joshi wrestling.
I was about to log off and then I suddenly remembered my best tweet of all time and was like. I do actually need to make sure this one thing is preserved in a screenshot
Depends if you find it sexier to submit to the will of charismatic evil or to be overwhelmed by animalistic power. And that’s not a decision I can make for you.
I saw some people saying the WRC soundtrack is really really good and I’m like god I hope so like it’s a small thing and very different musical genres but Dirt 2 & 3 had soundtracks that still go hard to this day and if WRC is on that level like I’ll keep playing just for that
I guess what I think is that suicide is a symptom of a problem and not the problem to fix, you know what I mean? To stop suicides you have to stop people’s mental health from getting to the point where they consider it, you have to treat the disease, trying to treat the symptom itself is almost completely useless.
For instance, Japan has spent a great deal of money on anti-suicide infrastructure, doing genuinely cartoonishly things like putting rollers on bridge railings so you can’t climb over them and slide right off, putting blue lights in the subway so it’s harder to see to throw yourself in front of a train. It’s not working. Japan’s suicide rate rose again in 2022. They are not addressing the root causes and stressors in their citizen’s lives and social barriers to mental health care and psychiatric medication.
It’s the same with universities in America, many have spent an exorbitant amount of money on turning their dorms into psych ward like environments. Anti-hanging chairs that you can’t stand on, bunks you can’t hang yourself from, slanted doorknobs etc. And yet suicide is still the second leading cause of death for college students. They make no attempts to make college easier, to make pausing and resuming your studies better, to make the pressure of an academic environment feel less life or death. They make no accommodations for the individual. They just make it a little harder to hang yourself in a few rooms on campus and call it a day, say they’re being proactive in terms of mental health.
I honestly think part of the thing with college campuses is that they just don’t want you to kill yourself there. They really don’t care if students kill themselves, they just want to make it harder to do on campus because the optics are bad.
