take some time this week to archive online content you care about, it could disappear or get harder to find at any point! youtube channels, blogs, images, personal chat logs, you name it

woodman doesnt seem like hes into anything at the moment. but otherwise yeah probably

it's always a good sign when you begin to feel increasingly dissonant about your current circumstances and you start thinking "what the fuck am i doing?" and "what happened to me?

i've seen quite a bit of confusion about this, so let me attempt to clear things up :

empathy is the ability to feel somebody's emotions as though they are affecting you personally. for example, somebody tells you "my dog died last night!" -> you now feel as though you've lost a pet personally -> you feel grief and sadness just like the other person. not everyone has empathy. it's a trait some people develop and others don't. some have high empathy, some have low empathy, some (like me) have none.

sympathy is the ability to understand and care about somebody else's struggles, even if you don't feel them yourself. so, somebody tells you their dog died -> you realize how this affects them emotionally -> you care about this person, and are upset that they are suffering. not everyone has sympathy either! it's a scale, just like empathy.

compassion is doing something to relieve another person's suffering or make them feel better. somebody tells you their dog died -> you don't want them to remain upset -> you come up with ways to help them feel better, like offering comfort and distractions, or other forms of support. compassion is a learned trait, not something you can be born with like empathy or sympathy. anyone can learn to be compassionate, although some may struggle more with it than others; it's a skill, just like anything else.

however, none of these are required to be a good person. that's a choice you make on your own accord. i hope this clears things up!

the fact that pro-monarchy arguments have degenerated, over the past few centuries, from โ€œthe king rules by divine right and is accountable to nobody but godโ€, to โ€œuhm the royals generate a lot of income from tourismโ€ will never stop being extremely funny to me

the monarchsโ€ฆ bad. but the castles? oh, the castles are positively lush with ratsโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘…
