#she’s weird she’s bad at communicating she’s insane she has concerning hobbies

[the-faultofdaedalus]

i think a house/leverage crossover would be Really Funny especially if it’s something a la the gang tried to convince this dude he’s got some terrible zombie disease. they try this shit in PP in some section of abandoned rooms (they’re doing it at night so they’re not caught) but since house is a Weirdo he’s still In The Building, sees them, starts tailing these freaks, figures out what they’re doing

and then for the first time in his fucking life voluntarily puts on a white coat to barge into the room where they’re all conning this guy (and they’re So worried that. oh no they’re fucked there’s an actual doctor here to bust us—)

except then he starts PLAYING ALONG! making this shit more believable! somehow gets this guy in an MRI but shows him scans from someone who’s WAY more fucked up! possibly even drugs him who knows

the leverage crew does not understand wtf is going on. hardison checked him out he’s a real doctor. they know that. so WHY is he doing THIS

meanwhile house is having more fun than he’s had in months because he can commit medical malpractice as MUCH as he wants, knowing that since this guy technically isn’t a patient and isn’t admitted at this hospital and legally isn’t even here he can’t sue the hospital

I apologize for bothering you for your objective opinion so much, my king, but once again I need your objective opinion. This time I need your objective opinion on the Berserkers. I'm severely concerned that I have shit taste in Berserkers, and I know that unlike me you are definitely a man of culture.

very large. back from ye olde days where berserkers generally couldn’t actually communicate so unfortunately a bit lacking in complex characterisation compared to others. lovin the whole ‘made to kill his own children in rage which is what qualifies him as berserker in the first place and now gives his all to keep this singular parentless child safe despite supposedly being made into a mindless raging beast’ thing. 8/10

bucket knight. also an old school zerker who can’t talk outside kariya’s fever dreams but he does scream in french sometimes. an overly loyal knight who nonetheless put his own wishes above what he believed were his king’s once and then spent the rest of his life feeling guilty about it to the point where it straight up drove him crazy because he couldn’t understand that arturia has -15 consideration of her own wants. his kink is getting shamed and he would probably get a heart attack if arturia did that hands on her hips disappointed look pose in his general vicinity. 8/10

get OUT of my HOUSE. ugly and horrifying but could totally beat gilgamesh in a fight and the image of ol gregory getting his nuts kicked in by a metal underpants enthusiast is high quality content so he gets points for that. 3/10

this is what we in the scientific community call a daughter. a good girl who just wants to be loved but has severe trust issues after being abandoned by the person who literally created her. can in fact talk but it takes a lot of effort so she doesn’t bother because like, fuck humans right, why should she put in effort to make herself understood when they’re not gonna want to understand her either way. I’m so blessed & grateful that moriarty is her dad now. 9/10

i’ll be honest I still have no idea what his character is supposed to be like its not like he had a lot of screentime in extra and extella is very bad to its side characters. ?/10

the fucking supreme. pandered to like a dozen of my kinks and gave me a few more. my first 5*. the end of my f2p days and the start of my journey to becoming the monster god. the design. the skillset. the teeth. the c l a w s. a king despite hating kings. a machinelike killer despite living for the thrill of the fight. a man who wants to just die already yet obstinately refuses to. a contradictory mess that denounces every ideal he used to live by yet clings to them harder than ever. a monster whose personal arc after being summoned isn’t how he’s still human at heart or whatever but how he was a monster before he looked like one already so like, don’t even worry about it. his mad enhancement is EX(C ) and his material entry revealed that this weird rank is bc it’s not even actual battle rage, he’s just so fucking stubborn it gets classified as mad enhancement. EX/10 the love of my fucking life

the smile of an angel. seems completely rational at first but is still classified as a berserker with EX rank mad enhancement because of her inhuman determination to save as many lives as possible without any regard for the quality of that saved life. she’d amputate all of a person’s limbs in an instant if that’s what it’d take for them to not die. she has canonically beat people to a pulp to ‘cure’ their mental issues. completely dedicated her life to becoming a healing machine at the cost of her own health and even personhood. her profile says she doesn’t actually listen to others but in her myroom lines she takes an active interest in your hobbies and opinions and she also gets flustered when you call her an angel. i literally cannot fucking wait until ch america hits NA server she’s so fucking good and i want everyone to love her. 15/10

THIS IS WHAT A FRIEND LOOKS LIKE. the actual embodiment of “cool guy has a chill day”. a smile that rivals the sun and an attitude that turns even the most ordinary days into a grand adventure. his mad enhancement is basically just that he’s kind of an idiot. 10/10

OX MOM OX MOM OX MOM her mother got knocked up by an ox demon in a dream and had to raise her in secret, and her human father didn’t accept her until she proved to be really strong and even then only as long as she would exterminate anyone who stood in the way of the clan. so scared of being shunned for her demon origins despite being loved & trusted as leader of the minamoto clan that she straight up exorcised her demon self into a separate personality to kill it (& herself with it) and was only barely stopped by the four heavenly kings. nowadays fiercely protective of anyone who knows about & accepts her demonic side to the point of insanity, which is where her EX mad enhancement comes from. a huge crybaby but gets shit done anyway. 10/10

THIS IS ALSO WHAT A FRIEND LOOKS LIKE. someone who was labeled and locked away as something evil due to being what is by all means called a monster even though he’s got a really gentle personality and likes being helpful. really good example of the whole “heroes and villains are nothing more than the roles individual complex people are forced to take on” theme fate likes to play with. has difficulty talking but it’s easy to come to an understanding with him as long as you call him by his personal name asterios rather than the name of the monster minotaur everyone assumed he’d be and he thus inevitably became. 10/10

the only reason he’s a berserker is because his name and the word “berserker” have the same etymology and the grail had no idea what other class to put him. this is the canon reason. he doesn’t have any mad enhancement to speak of beside being a lil hot blooded and liking to fight. literally only here because he likes to throw punches. got his ass beat by li shuwen in ch america because despite loving to throw a punch he’s not actually a martial artist and can’t win from someone with actual technique. a classic ‘jack of all trades master of none’, he literally sucks at being every single class but can’t not be summoned as a heroic spirit because he’s from the oldest english epic poem and a prototype for many other heroes. a free spirited adventurer who takes things as they come but can be responsible when it matters. 9/10 

once a good & wise ruler but fell into insanity in the last few years of his rule before finally getting assassinated. loved rome with all his heart for its beauty & splendour but got overwhelmed by the conspiracies and other evils that were also a part of it until the goddess of the moon, who he was in love with, made him insane, which he claims saved him in his bond ce. determined from then on to become the ugliest most evil motherfucker in all of rome so that he could take all the nastiest parts of rome with him in his inevitable death and have his dear cousin nero live in happiness, if only for a while. summoned as a hero despite being very close to an anti-hero because the good ruler he was before going insane responded to a call to save the world and still intent to do his part by simply dragging everything evil down with him. 8/10 wouldn’t it be nice if chapter rome had actually paid attention to roman servants other than nero.

looks like a bratty child but talks like an archaic mob boss. has horns and huge claws. easily bribed with chocolate. has a huge sword but just fucking headbuts her enemies instead. 10/10

many berserkers are angry men but only he is anger man. classified as a berserker not just due to his battlefield conduct but also the insane commitment he had to the laws of the shinsengumi, to the point where he would personally execute former comrades who broke them. both the first and last member of the shinsengumi, a man who dedicated his entire life to upholding its values in a rapidly changing japan. surprisingly rational and during gudaguda 2 okita didn’t even realize he’s a berserker because he didn’t become the fanatic that qualified him to be summoned as one until after okita’s death. one of the coolest skillsets in the game and definitely some of the sickest animations. 10/10

SasuSaku and compatibility

So I saw a person claim they aren’t compatible and I was like?? So i decided to make a post about it. If you want to add food for thought. Let’s go.

Like the nerd I am I will begin by being a walking human dictionary and defining compatibility

Compatibility: a state in which two things are able to exist or occur together without problems or conflict.

a feeling of sympathy and friendship; like-mindedness.

 Okay, first off let’s just say there is no such thing as a relationship with 0 conflict, that is very impossible. Okay? Okay. (I cannot believe I made a tfios reference I am disgusting)

My (scientific based I promise) view on compatibility can be summarized as something I made up called ‘being on the same frequency, but not the same wavelength’ (yes, we get it, you are a physics student) (bear with me I will explain compatibility using physics and that is how much of a physics slut I am)

The argument that people who are opposites attract may be true… to  some degree. certain humans get intrigued by ‘mystery’ and things that we don’t see reflected in ourselves, However, certain humans also get intimidated (for example extroverts who look outwards for stimulation, and introverts who look inwards) by such qualities and often see these people who are so different as someone you will inevitably clash with. Which is also true. From a psychological point of view, long lasting couples are usually people who are more similar than different. Conflict , clashes and differences may look good in novels when it’s followed by hot make up sex.  In the real world it’s the reason why the divorce rate in America is up to 50%.

Now, Allow me to use certain relationships in Naruto and wave physics to explain compatibility. Just..trust me on this.

The standing wave :  NaruSaku

A wave pattern produced when 2 waves of the same frequency, wavelength and amplitude travelling in opposite directions meet. In other words, 2 of the same waves meet and reflect off each other. This, as you can tell has it’s up’s and down’s.  But most importantly, halts both waves in a stationary, standing like position with no energy propagation, much like 2 very similar people coming together thinking hey wow this is great it feels good to be with someone I get along so well with, but after a while it gets energetically disturbed and eventually cancels out..either too up or too down.  ‘The hype is over, we are too similar..what next?’ If I were to use narusaku as my example, I’d say they are both loud, boisterous people with no emotional plug. Naruto will shout what he is feeling from the top of a mountain if he has to, and sakura cries like it’s her hobby (this isn’t a diss. Crying does not mean you are emotionally weak..in fact she does it publically with like 0 shame so honestly that is strength right there). They are both very similar people, with similar ideals, similar opinions, similar emotional ranges, similar outlooks on their surroundings and the way they interpret the world around them is also similar. This is not to say they make bad friends, this is exactly what makes them great friends. It’s true sakura can put him on a bit of leash sometimes, but on an emotional level can you imagine these two in a fight *shout* *shouts back* *cries* *cries back* *shouting and crying* *shouting and crying back*. Talkers and feelers to the last bit, they won’t communicate properly and that spark of attraction dies out pretty quickly. Also, they are both active workaholics, as you can tell by hiden sakura, hokage naruto, and throughout the series with each of them seeing situations and trying to shoulder burdens all by themselves, so the argument that they would make better parents if paired up with each other is pretty null.

Moving on

Destructive interference : SasuKarin

When 2 incoherent waves meet and they produce an amplitude lower than their individual amplitudes. It is almost like a destruction of the wave’s essence..it’s energy transforms from moving kinetic energy to potential energy. Much like two people who’s view of the world reflects completely differently within them, so when they meet, it’s a bloody mess.  It is, as the wave name suggests, destructive. For example, going by this couples dynamic:  Sasuke is a very selfless boy (ofc subtracting certain things he did under the curse of hatred), even when his plans were dictator-ish what he wanted wasn’t just power as much as he wanted the hate in the world to stop. The reason he went insane was because he loved his family, so much so that he dedicated his entire prepubescent years to thinking it is his moral burden to avenge their deaths. He was willing to sacrifice his life for his comrades on multiple occasions, and has spent a good deal of his life helping people in need. On the other hand, when we are first introduced to Karin the first thing we learn is that she orders the death of any captive who speaks out about orochimarus death, which funnily enough, are the same captives sasuke kept on freeing. Her first thought about her teammates is that she wants them both to kill each other. If we argue using character development, by the 5 kage summit arc she was way more concerned with her own safety than her teammates and by the war she almost did not let tsunade bite her arm in a dangerous life or death situation. Sasuke admired her rare skill in sensing chakra and thought her cunning attitude would be beneficial for his team, but on a personal level I think he admires integrity  more in people such as Itachi, Naruto, Kakashi and Sakura. That is why they always remained the people he cared for the most. On a personality level, they also clash. I could take my time to explain but honestly : this is sasuke if he were to ever be in a relationship with Karin

Moreover, Sasuke’s reserved ass is way too uncomfortable with her forward (sometimes creepy) sexual behavior towards him, which again sums this up pretty well again. Similar with the narusaku are great friends things, I see them as teammates. Sasuke has shown care for Taka, and I said this once before but sasuke is not a sadist who does not care about people he bought forth on a personal mission with him to use their abilities..that would be cruel and unlike him. But, when sasuke was going through the darkness, none of them tried to genuinely stop him or care for his mental well being. Sasuke you are getting colder what is wrong with you does not equal hey man are you okay, you have been acting weird lately and I am worried about you. If your friend is obviously going through a huge shift towards a negative direction, the right thing to do is at least be like yo get a grip. I personally, don’t see a friendship (i see a previous teammate as canon suggests) and according to gaiden and shinden, neither does sasuke. ‘Her love was selfless for him’ Ask a Harry Potter fan about Snape they’ll tell you ‘a ‘selfless’ love for a single person that makes you act in a bad way is a very selfish and negative trait.’

Ah yes, the otp of otps.

The Principle Of Super Position aka constructive interference : SasuSaku

When two waves meet in such a way that their crests line up together, then it’s called constructive interference. The resulting wave has a higher amplitude. Much like similar people who can live with mutual friendliness, bring out the best in each other but still have their none destructive differences. Same frequency, different displacement. Both Sasuke and Sakura are selfless, empathetic people. Both of them have a knack for book reading and smarticle particle type hobbies. Sakura is emotional, sasuke is sensitive. Sakura is a talker who can also listen, Sasuke is a listener, who isn’t always willing to talk but has always been shown to show a willingness to talk to her. The spark exists initially because they have an element of opposites attract, but on a deeper level they are similar enough to sustain a relationship. Sakura and Sasuke both have had issues of not feeling good enough in their childhoods, and both of them bring the other up. On sasukes part it is by showing her off, on sakuras part it is by constantly telling him what she loves about him. Can you imagine them in a fight? *shouts* *sighs and talks calmly* *moves to tears but calms down* *talk it out*. *passive aggressiveness* *encourages talking* *talks, argues a little but find middle ground*. Both Sasuke and Sakura are impatient people, sasuke with his actions and sakura with her emotions. She can be like calm down and wait before charging in, he can be like calm down and assess the situation before getting emotional. When dealing with each other being sad I see hints of them both being physically affectionate, but sasuke listens to her problems and works it out with her in a way that allows her to come to a consensus on her own, she talks to him and helps him navigate through his emotions. She is understanding of his emotional states and he is sensitive to her mood changes. He is also intuitive and is able to see through her so he knows what is wrong. Sasuke has had a very traumatic past, sakura is a doctor who opened mental hospitals for children, and she is more than emotionally ready and willing to help him when he is in need. He is starved for love, she is very affectionate and maternal by nature.

Sexually, they are both passionate people so that would never get boring (and as the boruto novel states they fuck a lot so I hc sasuke as being someone who once eases himself into it becomes a lot more comfortable with trying new things and sometimes using it as an emotional outlet).  In terms of ideals, they line up, they both seek the greater good, but Sakura has a better balancing knack for also individual care, it is part of her profession after all. Sasuke openly cares for her, and is probably very loving privately, and she is open with displaying affections in public despite his reserved nature, which adds a little hint of playfulness to their relationship , which already exists imo if you put a bubbly person like sakura with a more stoic boy like sasuke. All of that, with the added chemistry spark of opposites attract. They oppose in playful ways, they bring the best out of each other (multiple times, sakura brings a more tender, gentle side of him and he brings out a more determined side of her and aside from that stupid comment he apologized for, he also makes her feel good about herself..+you can lie to yourself but sasuke likes his ego stroked a little and you know it), their relationship is interesting but manages to keep it’s harmony. They fuckin’ reek of compatibility man.

So, yeah. That was me..using wave principals and physics to describe compatibility in terms of naruto pairings.Thank you and bye.

My Journey Out of Falun Gong via /r/atheism

Submitted August 04, 2020 at 02:35PM by TheNZThrower (Via reddit https://ift.tt/3kc5Z3a) My Journey Out of Falun Gong

FYI: Falun Gong is a religion/cult with some weird teachings (e.g. science and race mixing are alien plots to replace humans) that is persecuted and suppressed by the Chinese Government. Their leader is called Li Hongzhi. They're behind the theatrical dance group Shen Yun and the pro-Trump newspaper The Epoch Times. Here's one of Li's lectures to get an idea of his insanity: https://en.falundafa.org/eng/lectures/19980904L.html

Hello everyone! I am a former follower who has recently left about nine months ago cause by me leaving Mum in Sydney for Dad in Perth. I'll try to be as unbiased as I possibly can throughout my summary, here we go.

My Mum joined the practice after she gave birth to my younger sister in 2006, and she told me that when she read ZFL, she saw that the characters or swastika symbols or faluns (don't quite remember) started to spin in front of her eyes. It was around then, when I was only six, that the indoctrination started. My mum interrupted any educational videos (in Chinese) I was digesting whenever they started to talk about Evolution by natural selection to lecture me on how it was the 'gods' who directly created us. It was then that she started to expose me to numerous FLG propaganda films like one about a certain practitioner being persecuted to death by the CCP. I was also exposed to The Nine Commentaries later on, and that fueled my paranoia with anything 'Communist'.

My Mum and Dad would frequently have conflicts over her practice, with my dad often getting angry whenever she started to chat with other practitioners and going to Mum's room to demand that she be quiet. He also frequently destroyed the scriptures, leaflets and other FLG paraphernalia she had. This has unfortunately led me to develop a fear towards my dad. This ended in my Mum separating with and divorcing my dad and I went with her. She moved to Sydney owing to better opportunities, a larger base of practitioners and due to my Dad visiting her (for the sake of seeing and interacting with my Sis, whom he loves) without her permission and I went with her.

One of the factors in helping me break away from Falun Gong is me developing a desire for debunking conspiracy theories thanks to the discovery of the skeptic community. What fueled this was due to me hearing of all the bad news by conspiracy believers (a la Naturalnews) about the US government coupled with their promotion of 9/11 trutherism, water fluoridation conspiracies and others. This combined with my blind support of the US implanted by Mum (which still makes it hard for me to come to terms with some of the shady shit the US has done or is up to) lead me to adopt an anti conspiratorial stance, especially in regards to western governments. It is through the skeptical community that I have learnt to not trust anecdotes, what logical fallacies are and how to spot them, and about the teachings of Li on race mixing. His race mixing teachings really shocked me when I first learnt about them before reading up on them. This also lead me to become somewhat skeptical of what FLG was teaching about Communism. Another thing that lead me a path out of Homophobia was me getting pissed at another student at my school calling me gay, and the school counselor coming to reassure me that there ain't nothing wrong with being gay.

After moving to Sydney was when I started to question some of the key tenets of FLG like their narrative on the whole 2001 Tiananmen self immolation incident. The questioning then was still half hearted owing to the deep seated fears of overturning everything that I believed in. This half hearted skepticism even seeped into my analysis of The Nine Commentaries. Around this time was when I began to develop intrusive thoughts regarding Pedophilia and I even thought that seeing children was beginning to make my you know what tingle. This is what led me to spiral back into FLG after my brief stint of skepticism due to desperation that this is uncurable, as well as my mind associating such thoughts and urges with sexual orientation in that it might be genetic and innate, that I didn't choose it and that it would be a forever defining part of me.

However, the decisive factor in turning me against FLG was when mum watched a conservative 'documentary' called 'Agenda: Grinding America Down' which explicitly pushed climate change denial that made me aware of just how far down the rabbit hole she was going. I was aware of climate denialists and their argument as well as the counter-arguments to a certain degree, but not very well versed in them. I also recall something along the lines of Li sending some message to practitioners suggesting they watch this 'doco', but I'm not certain in that regard so take this with a grain of salt. I suppressed questions regarding this (and other topics e.g. Feminism and homosexuality) for a while before coming out to my Mum about them as well as occasionally responding whenever she started shit talking atheists and atheism. This is around the point when my relations with her broke down.

I also proceeded to discover the sequel to The Nine Commentaries called 'How the Spectre of Communism is Ruling Our World'. I also discovered its promotion of climate change denial as well as trying to smear other social movements (e.g. LGBT rights, civil rights, feminism) by tenuously linking them to the Commies using numerous logical fallacies. This lead to further conflict between me and Mum, leading to her trying to read the chapter promoting climate denial to me, which lead to even more conflict and her further spiraling down that rabbit hole. Part of this is my fault due to my confrontational attitude towards her as well as my personal insecurities about the correctness of climate science due to my lack of knowledge about it. Me telling her of Trump's transgender military ban further deteriorated my relationship with her, as well as his environmental and border policies. This deterioration of my mental state impaired my school performance. This also eventually lead to two hospitalisations: once due to me getting so out of control at school that they called my Mum and I proceeded to flip her off with both hands and call her out on Shen Yun, the second time being me making a mess of the room with her FLG scriptures after realising that the ancient Chinese didn't have much beef with being gay. This led me to take medication to control my outbursts. Around this time was when I started to see organisations like Headspace and Beyond Blue for counselling. Another incident occurred when I started grabbing a broken vacuum cleaner outside the house and smashed it into the grass due to the cognitive dissonance regarding Environmentalism and Communism as an attempt to vent out my frustration in fighting against my programming. This lead to my mum growing understandably concerned and then telling me to repeat 'environmentalism is communism' ad nauseam until I calm down. That's her way of getting me to calm down and remove any intrusive thoughts of mine; through repeating FLG soundbites (e.g. X is an alien invention) or through getting me to read FLG material ad nauseam until they're gone. Part of the reason why is due to her thinking that there exists no other viable option to remove them permanently due to her indoctrination.

Eventually, my relationship with my Mum deteriorated so bad that she decided to send me back to Dad after graduating high school. So that is how I ended up with him again. All this still occupies my mind a lot and still deeply affects me. I currently still have numerous violent thoughts on harming my Mum and other FLGers severely through torturous means. I also have numerous violent thoughts on Li as well. My Mum's statements and the views of Li still frequently replay over and over in the back of my head. It is still the case that whenever I at the very least somewhat adopt a mindset blindly accepting of 'master's' teachings and political views, I am able to have proper bowel movements, and am able to perform the tasks and hobbies I like to a proficient degree. As soon as I develop a logical approach to any of the beliefs of Falun Gong, I am unable to pass bowel movements due to a mental block, nor am I able to proficiently do the stuff I like. In addition, I have a tendency to block out any conflicting information whenever I try to fact check claims surrounding Falun Gong or Trump or whatever, especially if they lead to my anger towards Mum and subsequent fantasies of violence despite no loaded language or even implicit encouragement of violence in any of the information critical of religion, Falun Gong and Trump. I also still respond to Mum's statements in my head rather violently (e.g. responding with utterings of 'I'll kill you'). However, some progress is being made in my journey towards critical thinking (e.g. reading the books of Richard Dawkins as well as The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe). I still have minimal contact with my Mum, and she still tries to help me with managing myself independently, and I still occasionally contact her specifically for talking with my Sis. I never mention the topic of FLG with her since I left.

That's my journey so far, and any help would be appreciated. Of course this all is just a basic summary so some details are vastly simplified for brevity.
