absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they’re actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn’t be saved.

sometimes when I’m being especially self deprecating and convinced no one likes me I have to tell myself “you’re being goob. you are being goob right now”

randomly remembered “i have d cups, grandpa. the waitress thinks you have dementia” tonight so i decided to find the original tweet again and

[ID: A Tweet and self-reply by Twitter user Akira.

The original Tweet says “At a certain magnitude of cunt severity, getting misgendered by your family stops hurting and starts being funny. I have D cups, Grandpa. The waitress thinks you have dementia.”

The reply reads: “UPDATE: she was right”. End ID]

So, one thing I’d like to note here is

One of the lesser known early symptoms of dementia is that people start being more disagreeable.

Part of this is probably the natural result of being increasingly confused and upset day to day constantly. Another possible thing is that the same mechanism that causes dementia is also attacking the part of the brain that does emotional regulation.

And the thing is this is super early stage. By the time they stop remembering when’s the last time you met, it’s already way too late. But if an older person in your life starts acting way more like a cunt for literally no reason, and it’s not particularly in character for them, it really might be worth testing for dementia or Alzheimer’s because you have a lot more options catching it earlier.

this is a good argument for not being an asshole: people will notice sooner if you get more argumentative.

^ that is a great point

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

(Stares in bewildered Australian) And?

I swear to fucking god if I see another post about someone from the southern hemisphere saying shit like this. No one on Tumblr is capable of understanding when someone is talking about their own experience and be normal about it. I don’t even really give a shit about the Christmas side of this just that climate change has gotten so bad that there is no longer ice in Scotland in December and you should be worried about that actually. Imagine if people came on here being like I don’t give a shit about Australian wildfires because it doesn’t effect me

Just saying, while I share the sentiment of being weirded out by increasingly warm winters, the idea of “snowy Christmas” is profoundly anglocentric, even within Europe.

The concept of a “white Christmas” is pretty rare to experience anywhere in Europe southern than Amsterdam (so ¾ths of Europe, population-wise). Hell, even some of the nordic capitals (Copenhagen and Stockholm) only get white Christmas maybe once per decade or so. Sure, it can snow everywhere, but in December? It’s rarely enough for the snow to actually settle.

So yeah, not really a very significant portion of Europe, really.

Oh my god you people can’t read anything without being mad that it’s not about you.

I live in Central Europe and we ABSOLUTELY used to have snow in December when I was a kid, roughly twenty years ago. We don’t anymore. Wtf are some of these replies on.
