Nature's one true saltlick.

@lain

These show good natured people can be subconsciously cold & antisocial, falling into logical traps & mob mentality.

Traditionally, we therapize each other through conversation. One can't ethically put the entire world on therapists.

Granted, helping others isn't required, but we don't seem to encourage this/ other social skills very well these days…

When accessibility is missing/ required/ neglected, we should help each other.
> Read to the sightless, help the legless with stairs, etc

@lain

We currently see socioeconomic pressures forcing many to quickly alienate & dehumanize one another.

Immediate family members throw their hands in the air & say "you're crazy, seek help".

Good natured people give advice like "everyone should seek therapy".

We're taught it's not our job/ we're not certified/ qualified/ competent/ that we need to spend time/ energy wisely.

They're not wrong, but they're not right & they always push responsibility onto others first.

It takes a village…

@lain

We really are. Many take it for granted.

Oh, wow, and it's uploaded in 1440x1080.

At the 3:47 mark: well, you are turning around...
Stick with me here:

Think of it as a whole system. Think like a tensor...?
The state/ trajectory is like a vector & collisions like linear transformations that in the right coordinates become rotations.
> You get turned around.

@prettygood

Honestly appreciate that. If I'm ever out of line, and it's not too much trouble, whoop my ass.

@prettygood

My takes are pretty shit, I don't blame you :thinkerguns:

I love all of you. Don't do anything stupid. Stay safe. And don't drink your liver into dust. Thank you.

@prettygood

Good, I better see all y'all tomorrow :jennpls:

@prettygood

At this point, I could use a drink.
