I'm tired of seeing those statues where you can see where people touch the statue and the statues of women people have touched their breasts, it's so gross, and I'm gonna start touching man statues crotches and nipples out of spite. who's with me?

I actually don't think anyone needs "tough love" from complete strangers

i think animals are much more "intelligent" and human-like than people give them credit for, and they have deep rich inner lives and social lives and everything. However I can't deny the fact that if my dog had access to the same things as I did, she would eat all the food in the entire kitchen without stopping for a second. She would eat the butter, she would eat the cocoa powder, she would slurp up the crushed tomatoes. Even if I find certain things to be delicious, even if I was really hungry, I have no urge at all to go devour my whole kitchen. I have chocolate ice cream in my freezer, but I don't feel like eating it. I could present my dog with a bullion cube and she would eat it without hesitation

I don't understand what cold medicine is. in sweden when we have a cold we take pain killers (dampens fever), possibly cough syrup, and nasal spray. we are treating the symtoms, this doesnt make the cold go away it just makes it more bearable to be sick, then you wait for it to go away. we dont have any medicine for a cold. people dont even get those flu shots or whatever that I hear other countries take every year

I don't like parent-run influencer pages for autistic people. I don't like it. If the autistic person is an adult and not dependant on their parent anymore and has asked their parent to run a page for them, okay sure. But if the person is a minor or is somehow able to be controlled by the parent then I just hate it. I don't like the way the parents talk about their kids even if they're positive. I don't like when they treat their older kids like babies just cause they have autism. It's great if a parent isn't the way my parent was and just told me to stop being childish and got mad at me all the time for everything I did that was percieved as different, but it's not really that much better to treat them like they're babies just cause they're different

you know when you see men doing stupid shit endangering themselves cause it would be funny? idk boys will be boys and "this is why men have lower life expectancy". I just realized they're not just careless with their own health, they're careless period. I saw a video of a man trying some silly weight lifting thing where he put heavy weights on his toes (he is lying on top of a bench and putting his feet up into the air) and he was clearly struggling and could drop them any minute. right next to him was his dog, sleeping on the floor of the gym. if one of the weights dropped from his toe, it would most certainly land on the dog

yup. I have decided instead of recognizing when I'm sick and resting, I will do things and either get sicker and sicker and people will be forced to help me cause they cant pretend I'm not sick anymore, or I will actually somehow get better and stronger in the process. who knows. I will probably get sicker cause I tried this before. But whatever. I'm tired of being sick and feeling like im faking it cause im not deathly ill

im tired of being kind to myself and letting myself rest. it's time to get things done self destructively

I mean I sort of agree with that post about picking yourself up by the bootstraps and doing something about your problems, but also the mental health positivity thing started because extremely depressed and possibly suicidal people looked to the internet to find people to connect to. Saying "just existing makes you enough" is something we said to eachother because we actively wanted to kill ourselves because we felt like everything about us was wrong and bad. Avoiding things that give us anxiety was because the entire rest of the world was forcing us to do things and be anxious constantly leading to panic attacks and feeling like the world is not worth being in, wanting to die to get away from it. Feeling safe was something we thought we weren't allowed to. Being kind to ourselves is something we had to learn because we hated ourselves and our inner monologue told us we're worthless, ugly, unlovable, can't do anything right, the world would be better without us etc etc. Prioritizing ourselves, taking mental health days and recognizing mental health as an actual medical priority was because previously we ignored our mental health and acted self destructively. So idk. I agree you cant stay in your bubble of safety forever. But we didn't get here without good reason and absolutely not because we were spoiled

hamster or mice, i love both

I really want a hamster but I doubt I could take care of it. I like cleaning and decorating so I think I would enjoy a weekly clean of the cage, I could sit down in one place on the floor and get it all clean and decorate it. and it would give me something meaningful to do, I'm really decaying here (ive been sick for a long long time) and feeling hopeless. but im so tired all the time and i dont actually know if i will or wont have energy to do this every week. I do have a dog but she's really low maintenance, and the things I can do to take care of her more (to give me meaning) are very taxing. Taking long walks isn't a thing I can do anymore. she prefers to play with a human and not a toy, and im just not in shape to run around with her. even brushing her teeth is hard on me because she hates doing it (but we have to anyway). but she's getting all the things she needs like food water daily walks. but to enrich my own life, there's nothing else I can do. I used to love taking long walks with her, but I get more sick if I walk that long. I feel like I'm a prisoner in my own body. anyway thats why I'd love to have a hamster, it can do it's own thing and I can provide it with food and toys and watch it be adorable and maybe hold it in my hands if it will let me. and I can clean its cage, cleaning is also an activity I miss doing (i used to work with cleaning) and being able to succesfully clean an entire thing while staying in one place (as opposed to cleaning the apartment, where id have to physically move around and bend and become exhausted) would feel rewarding. i also love researching care tips for different animals, learning new things and me and my dog are way past that stage as I got her 8 years ago and we know everything about eachother. would be fun to get to know a new little individual. but idk im not gonna let a hamster suffer just cause im bored

im seriously wondering this cause like either usa is causing all the wars and trump chose not to, or they aren't causing the wars and trump had nothing to do with there not being wars. which one is it

I don't understand why americans think their country is the one that controls whether there are wars or not in the world 🤔🤔🤔🤔 if they can say trump is good cause there were no wars when he was around, then can I blame usa for every war????

if they care so much that astrid is played by a dark skinned person and doesn't "look scandinavian" then why don't they care that the rest of the cast aren't scandinavian? can you really claim that a person who ISN'T scandinavian looks scandinavian? Just cause you have a misconception that all vikings had long beards and were big and brawly (except conveniently for the of course skinny below avarege height brown haired american boy thats always the protagonist in all american movies) doesn't mean it's true. the people who look most like how vikings would've looked are the people who live in scandinavia right now, so why are they being played by americans? Could it be that an american can portray a viking in a movie because it's fiction? could it be that in modern culture we look different and therefore can portray fantasy settings the way we look nowadays? Can you look at scandinavia, and see that we are now a modern and diverse place, and that a white scandinavian can be THE EXACT SAME amount of viking as an asian looking scandinavian? Because asian looking scandinavians could have one scandinavian parent and one asian parent, and a white scandinavian could have one scandinavian parent and one parent from greece or spain or italy or fucking brazil or usa or wherever the fuck else white people live!

when I watch httyd - or any other american movie about "vikings" for that matter - I don't see myself. I don't relate to anything they do or say. Because they're extremely inaccurate to our culture, and are obviously set in some kind of americanized fantasy version of scandinavia, not a place that could exist in real life. If I see a dark skinned person in these stories, I don't care at all because the rest of the story is already clearly not set in scandinavia during the viking age or any other age so why would it matter. This is why it baffles me that americans care so much about whether the actors look "scandinavian" or whether the animation has dark skinned characters. they will say that scandinavians didn't look like that. but like it's the least they should be worried about?? also actually swedish vikings sailed east and brought people (some were slaves, or they were poor-ish and ended up as slaves because they couldnt afford otherwise. slaves were given free food and shelter) with them back from the east, so its honestly not that unlikely that they brought asian and african people from the east
