  • i have difficult & long unique passwords for each of the important things (emails, bank, any official gov or edu sites etc.) that i keep on a piece of paper in my notebook (with a few backup copies). And i also have 3 degrees of difficulty for my other passwords that i use like this: easy “i could not care less if this account got hacked, in fact i know this password has been leaked in plain text before so whatever”, medium “i’d kinda suck if this got hacked but ultimately it’d not cause major issues”, hard “i do not want this to be hacked”




  • same way placebo still works (to a degree) even when you know it’s placebo

    your subconcious is not logical, and no amount of conscious logic will fully defeat its influence

    to think yourself immune is foolish and dangerous, that’s when you allow it to work even better as you “logically” explain away every manipulation you were influenced by, and convince yourself you made a decision fully by yourself. The danger gets even hotter when it comes to political propaganda that uses the exact same tricks as marketing



  • i’m still so mad about that story line. 3 films worth of plot and it feels like George forgor that Anakin has to become Darth Vader at the end. So he fast forwarded a whole corruption arc, which then made Anakin look like a moron who got swayed to the dark side and abandoned his moral compass & all his friends in the span of days because some clearly dodgy guy told him “you see the Jedi council Anakin? they’re hiding something, clearly the most optimal path forward is to become evil, go kill some children”

    after the goose comes a swan, which though bigger, tougher, and stronger, has chilled the hell out a bit

    after a swan then comes the Canadian goose, which even though it appears to be a return to goose, it’s actually the might of a swan, and the rage of a 100 regular geese




  • honestly, this is not a terrible idea

    if you see someone at the verge of a panic attack that means they’re fully in their head spiraling - you can try to calm them down the normal way, but you can also try to force them out of their own head and ground them by saying something weird, ideally a question so their mind can latch onto it. It won’t always work, but it might shock them just the right amount to ground them!








  • though it only coincidentally related SSRIs fucked me up in a different way (which still affected my libido tbf). i didn’t even get to a month of treatment before i decided to quit - they were supposed to help with my anxiety, but instead of helping they made it significantly worse, to the point where i felt as if i was spending my time edging a panic attack at all times of the day. At first i thought i was just getting worse normally, but then i noticed i felt better in the evenings (i was taking them in the mornings). i just couldn’t keep going it was awful

    there’s plenty of people for whom SSRIs are life changers, but sadly i’m not in that group
