The elation the crafter must’ve felt when firing this bad boi up

I never really thought of it as “low-demand” but that’s a surpisingly practical way to phrase it, framing your decisions, lifestyle, and personal living spaces to be less mentally taxing and “economic” in that sense.

Broadly, it’s resembles minimalism but a significant balance with practicality rather than aesthetics (it’s a bonus). As other’s have said “less decisions and a readily achieved default state”. Some examples:

• Limited number of clothes that mix and match with one another. If I get new clothes, I’ll alway donate an equal amount to keep it limited.
• Schedule in general to reduced decisions but most helpful was meals and meal prepping.
• Bedroom and office have minimal furnishing/clutter so it’s easy to clean up and incredibly easy to return to that default state and peace of mind.

Laundry, cleaning, and errands become less demanding (less clothes, easy to clean) in that sense which leaves mental room to explore new ideas one at a time.

“hold your blesses, I’m going for a record”

Not the labels per se but being able to identify patterns and processes can be a comfort and even helpful if you have the right guidance and support system.

For example, identifying habitual masking (even when unnecessary) and making the decision not to mask can be helpful when socialising by conserving energy and making them more meaningful without the doubt and shame of “faking it”. Also giving yourself credit for feeling emotions and stimuli intensely and deciding for yourself to move away from to self-regulate.

The “label” should be foremost for you, hence why some don’t feel comfortable getting an official diagnosis (especially in the U.S.)

Literally haven’t read in months and I decide to catch up on a cliffhanger

The learning curve is closer to unlearning sedentary habits and “re-remembering” a primal activity your body is ultimately designed for.

If you can keep the runfluencer culture at an arms length, it’s wildly accessible and stress-relieving

Respectfully, do you recall a source or reference? I’d personally like to know if this another one of those “take for granted” childhood facts

In my personal worldbuilding I’ve made it into a proverb “do not spill — pour” to mean “to do something confidently where hesistation guarantees failure”.

Surface-level I get it but, similar to the McGuire Spider-Man glasses meme, the original context reverses the message awkwardly (Don is notoriously insecure about his image and power dynamic and had spent the entire episode trying to figure out how to one-up his younger co-worker)

My first thought to OP was “please stop talking” - I really didn’t need to read this before bed

Bystander Effect occurs when specific conditions are met and is not just a prevailing rule of human behavior.

The original incident that inspired this phenomenon was shown to be overly exaggerated to reinforce the idea of the inherently violent and apathetic human - which does sell well in newspapers back then and social media now.

If the attack was non-ambiguous, percieved as a high danger/emergency, against the social order/ group cohesion, and bystanders feels competent - do you think you wouldn’t get help? Stop being sold that you are alone and everyone else are apathetic uncaring “humans”, humans legitimately wouldn’t have gotten this far as a species without helping one another.

this one’s going in the “good reads” folders

Cutting edge mo-cap

unless they do NATO, i can barely remember a phone number or spelling given verbally.

Same vibes as an old 5sf sketch

does this imply that most communists are quite large?

Off topic but I found Another Crab’s Treasure to be the perfect game to ease back into the genre. It has several modifiers to make it the experience more accesible such as increasing the parry window, removing dropping resources, and even giving Kril a gun - 10/10 experience would fish again

gtfo with this soos slander

Thank you, truly! For the changes but the effort! I usually love aggregated data and lists and see what is generally favored (and have fun disagreement) but having the title implying certainity in “must see” soured me being able to enjoy the data for what it is.

Again, thank you! (cheek in tongue but Better Call Saul is a must watch for me if you’re interested in the pinnacle of character-driven drama and greek myth-like self fulfilling prophecies)

Resisting the temptation to pile on, but a title change away from the cringey-redditbait-title into something like “100 most popular shows based on aggregated data” would: 1. more accurate 2. show the amount of effort put in and 3. emphasis that this is based on collected data and not a definitive list.

This is fantastic work but that cringe title and it’s implications are really holding you back.
