Okay I’m actually replaying patho 1 now and I just need to say
Daniil is not that rude. Like he is kind of pretentious but overall he is honestly really polite and very willing to cooperate and help the people he is talking to when he first arrives in town.
Like the only exceptions are the olgimskys who are just straight up lying to his face and the second convo with Georgi. You know, the one where he basically says “yeah the plague would be really bad so let’s ignore it and keep investigating for murder”. And honestly calling him an idiot in Latin is kind of an appropriate response to that. And even then his options are mostly just expressing his (very understandable) frustration with the situation he has been put in.
Like he seems more just exasperated and frustrated that everyone around him is not taking the problem seriously and constantly playing games with him. And that’s day one lmao I haven’t even finished day 2. You know the day that is all about people playing games with you while you try to prevent an epidemic.
#also I feel soo bad for shooting the robbers on my way back from the theater#I’m so sorry daniil i know this is horrible for you but in this game you still need to eat#and as we know food is found in shops#so we need cash#It does feel weird and out of character though#I mean it always felt kinda weird but with the context of quarantine the cognitive dissonance between “this is what#I the player know is necessary to survive the game and set myself up for decent mid game where I can focus on story / Dialoge and what#I know the character would do is so much more present now lol#I aprechiate the decision to not focus so much on survival and have a negative consequence for killing in quarantine more and more every day#daniil dankovsky#pathologic classic hd#pathologic#pathologic 3#my thoughts

Isabela: You know, Taash isn't the first non-binary member of the Lords of Fortune we've had
Taash, apparently concussed from countless fights against dragons: Really?
Rook, nonbinary, a Lord of Fortune, and also sitting right next to them:
#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age#datv#taash#dragon age veilguard#bioware i love you but also what the fuck was this lmfao#by this point i had had SEVERAL conversations with taash about being nonbinary#and explicitly used options to relate to them using it#so for taash to suddenly develop amnesia and forget that was SO funny but also really fucking weird#their whole plotline kind of requires the use of cognitive dissonance to get through it anyways#which i have Thoughts™ about anyways#datv spoilers

I do think certain people within Mercedes should maybe consider that a quote like that wouldn't be half as believable if Toto hadn't spent the last six months fawning like a lovesick teenager in the press and dropping quotes of a similar sentiment himself...
Once you start to doubt someone's integrity, you'll believe more and more scurrilous things about them with less and less questioning
#f1#I guess it's a form of cognitive dissonance#I like to think of it as the couch fucker paradox#I do find it weird an account would just make it up#And he was on their fp1 coverage today#So either somethings got lost in translation or... idk#Just a weird situation all around#Few years back people would have read that and gone THERES NO WAY THEYD SAY THAT...#Now everyone is like 'yeah sounds like something they'd say'#I even had people in my inbox telling me it wasn't disrespectful 🤣

#svsss#shang qinghua#but mainly I'm just here to vague post LMAO I don't like to vague post its not very effective in terms of venting but#but basically I guess I'm becoming hyperaware of my like... cognitive dissonance codependency and derealization ee#also my general laziness ig and where it overlaps into executive dysfunction or whatever like I may genuinely have some issues but#I am also a lazy son of a bitch jfjfkgkg and i need to figure out how to figure it out so I can work on both in more effective ways hhggg#oh yeah but basically the thing to remember for later is the silence in the call and the immediate unmute and chat activity once I left#I should remember this and stop interacting I think? I should try to give em space I think I'm being too clingy or something#or maybe my own silence is too awkward and dampens the call? I was kinda just spacing out and not doing anything so I get its kinda weird#LMAO so I should just like try not to be in call for those times mm#I just like being in call with my friends jdhfkg but I suppose its not very good either#I overindulge I suppose another friend pointed it out to me before too haha but fjfjjt its just easier than facing bouts of dread by myself#eehh and that's why I gotta do something about my Metnal Ailneses hfjfj but ngl I don't really know how to go about it...#I get embarrassed looking stuff up djfnfkg and half the time I don't even know what to look up I just draw ?s and I give up#I suppose I also have commitment issues too but that ones not new which is an issue of itself aaaaaaaa#man idk idk I just don't really get it I guess djdjfjf and I've got existential dreads and think maybe it doesn't really matter whats wrong#cause there's no point to fixing them because ultimately I'm gonna die alone and a failure anyways? so like ehfjgkg idk#its depressing and I know its like sabotage cause my brain is being a little silly a little goofy and its not a shared sentiment#with the better half of me and the entirety of my friends but yknow its just ee harder sometimes to believe in the optimism ig#and i can talk about it somewhat normally and without like having a ✨️break down#but yknow djfjgkg I'm very emotional a person ya? I think sqh is relatable for gods sake 💀#irrationality sentimentality nihilism and existential dreads... wanting to die because living is too hard despite all my hopes for living...#just the ol regulars yknow?#and another thing... do I talk to my friends about these things? I vent them out here a lot but what do I really want?#I'm not strong enough to keep it to myself clearly but I'm also too proud to share these thoughts? I dump them out in the open and for what?#whenever someone reaches out with concern and care I don't respond in kind and refuse to elaborate?#so like what do I want with this? I guess I want someone to know I'm going insane half the time I'm awake? but not do anything about it?#that's pretty unfair I guess... and stupid I think I do want to share my thoughts with someone but I'm too scared of the ramifications#and that my pride can't stand the fact I might be looked differently by my friends even tho the image they have of me is already quite silly#man.... idk.... I'll come to conclusions myself and do nothing about them so I guess that'll happen again aah idk idk idk

anthropology museums are so weird. like the one at ubc is amazing but its whole vibe is "yeah this entire museum is full of stolen indigenous artifacts. yeah that's problematic and we feel bad about it. not bad enough to repatriate anything though :)"
#i know it's more complicated than that but like. there's some cognitive dissonance going on hereeeeee#i was standing in a room surrounded by northwest coast masks and i was just. overwhelmed. feels like maybe a lot of this shouldn't be here#actually anthropology in general is so weird. this is coming from someone who was one class shy of an anthropology major

tell me why I got fucking jumpscared by today’s connections
#I do it before bed since I usually go to bed after midnight#so the day rolls over#idk some kind of weird panic shot thru me at the lack of normal words#the cognitive dissonance I think#val comes out of hiding#it’s all symbols not words today if you’re reading this from the future

yknow when my therapist closed last week's session with a "so next week is the election please talk to me before considering dying" talk I kinda brushed it off but now it's two days away and there it is, that funny feeling once again.
#my diary#(feeling the need for a trip to inpatient amirite)#nah I'm fine I just wasn't expecting to dread it this much this time around#the amount of cognitive dissonance required to survive american politics is truly incomprehensible#the closest I've ever coming to understanding eldritch horror#there's a post that goes around here periodically that talks about how americans don't really have a cool kaiju like japan has godzilla#and I'm not really into kaiju media much but my friends are so I've been seeing more of it#and idk that post got its hooks into my brain and I got to wondering how a kaiju would manifest here#like what would that look like#but brother I think the kaiju is us#the american empire is the kaiju being inflicted on the rest of the world#and we're in-the-hills-in-the-cities-style bound to this unstoppable empirical monstrosity that's consuming and destroying the whole planet#and at this point in my life I feel like I woke up from the matrix but am still stuck and plugged into the battery pod#too weak to break free but you can't un-awaken (at least not entirely)#so you're just....... stuck in the pod and forced to occasionally re-enter delusion land to cast a ballot#like the ballot is going to affect the giant squid robots back in the real world somehow#this metaphor is getting away from me which means I'm ruminating so I'm gonna go play splatoon now#all this to say I hope kamala harris wins#and ha ha hee hee hoo hoo my therapist was right I'd get weird about the election even though I thought I'd be normal and fine

#HNNNNNN#survived a full youth group overnighter none the worse for wear!!#despite some hits to my pride (wiffle ball. also I lost at foosball several times alas) I think mayhaps I am even better for it#had a full functional one on one conversation with the sound guy which was. wild#but I was just wondering how long he'd been doing production stuff so I asked and we talked about it for?? several minutes???#also girl it's so weird bc I really really do not want children but how is it that watching him be SO good with kids#is one of the most goshdang attractive things I've ever seen#like it's almost cognitive dissonance bc I can't stand the thought of having kids but I also love doing youth group#and also that is. very attractive to me that the sound guy is so good with kids.#I spent like half the time watching people play ping pong. I played ping pong a little bit too as previously mentioned#also ough I love being with the kids... being a youth leader is so so fulfilling#like I never thought it was a ''calling'' until this year but it fills me up so much#and I think the kids like me#at least one girl in particular likes me skdkfnskgnskgns#even though I'm a doof and don't know how to play baseball#I just hope that my motivations are for THEM and not for ME yknow??#Lu rambles

praying i can still get a ticket when i get paid. i am determined to go to this and have fun. i want to be able to have fun despite everything. i don't want to push too hard but i want to live my life. i want my autonomy. my body can attack itself all it wants. i'm going to have fun. i'm going to have fun. i deserve to have fun.
#; the citrus speaks#weird how a tour i'm calling the TIT is central to me understanding how important automomy is to me#so if i'm talking about it a lot i'm sorry#i just. sometimes i need to remember that it's okay for me to like......not be constantly suffering in a state of cognitive dissonance#this is really important to me on a level that it usually wouldn't be#i'm going to fight for my autonomy so i can have a GOOD FUCKING TIME AT MY FIRST FUCKING TOUR.

A child got mad at me for telling her she's homophobic on my own post, told me to go to a dyke march, then blocked me
Back in MY day when you were called out for homophobia you just doubled down and and owned up to hating gay people! Kids these days :/
#blogging#Apparently bisexual women saying it's ok to call themselves dykes#means it's ok to call themselves dykes!#You don't even have to ask any actual lesbians!#I have some great news for suburban white boys who love rap.#homophobia#Rip though I do feel for the younger lgb kids today.#Cause like again Back In My Day#people were just like proud to be homophobic.#They didn't try and pretend that actually they love gay people and are even gayer than them so who's the real homophobe lol#It's similar in that#they def still think they're the good guys who are in the right#and that they're somehow persecuted for being called out on their homophobia.#But now there's this weird extra layer of cognitive dissonance.

Meg/ INACCURATE ART OF DINOSAURS EFFECTS REALITY. YOURE ON THE SLIPPERY SLOPE TO BEING THE SAME AS ANTI VAXXERS.
Us/ ...it's a movie.
Meg/ ITS MAKING THE WORLD SEE DINOSAURS AS MONSTERS AND LIZARDS..DID YOU KNOW BIRDS ARE DINOSAURS AND LIZARDS ARE NOT??
Us/ so you agree making fucked up fictional ""art"" that actually IS harmful and effects reality, "art" that normalizes p*dophilla and incest shouldn't be allowed?
Meg/ *crickets* *reblogs those posts*
Cares more about stupid ass dinosaurs than humans. Makes sense. They're super hateful to mammals. Remember the mammal bias? Lol
this person is just generally weird to be honest.
#The weirdness about dinosaurs is sadly common in paleontology spaces though#it’s a very hostile community lol#but that level of cognitive dissonance at least is a bit rarer#So is the weird vendetta against mammals

It's weird being someone that doesn't use words a lot in a relationship with people that do
Because one of us will say something a bit funny or cringe or whatever or just existing and be met with a flow of "I LOVE YOU"s and I'll just be there like
"So even that kind of little thing is worth a "I love you" ?"
It brings a shitload of other problems because I will feel guilty for not reacting like that every time and I'm wondering if the word of love is losing value or just if they don't give the same value to those words than I but hey that's a whole other shitshow
#hel is talking#I mean I know half my polycule is using words of affirmation as a love language and I don't#so most often than not I don't know how to react to it#it's not negative per say it's just a weird cognitive dissonance

something about aika being raised by her human mother until she was six and therefore having her formative years happen with her growing up with human values and how that fucked her up then spending the next nine years of her life with reapers
#its hard...#like in the context of renjirou torturing her by human values torturing a little girl and your SISTER#to target another family member is beyond the pale#is insanely insanely horrible and awful. 100% worth killing for#but only one of aikas many siblings — siblings who aika loves; who love her too — think its That Bad#and even alice struggles to rly intuit and comprehend just how horrible the betrayal feels to aika#so to aika it feels like she was betrayed by renjirou while ALSO being betrayed by much of her other family#including her FATHER who is PROTECTING THE MAN WHO TORTURED HER WHEN SHE WAS A BABY#while to her father and other siblings aika is the one being unreasonable for thinking that the torture is crazy#its a weird awful kind of cognitive dissonance

he'd never forgive me for canonising the fact that he sometimes still has poor depth perception and will tip over cups and bottles / bump into people hihi
#BUT. im saying it anyway#beyond me thinking it's lowk cute and funny. most fearsome lil guy in KL having to play off like he spilled that wine on purpose#it also adds to this weird humility/humiliation thing he has that EM often talks about#''he can walk into a room be completely humiliated in it and walk out not caring'' so true bestie#cognitive dissonance! his revenge will be swift and brutal
