And who says “sue-dew”???

Hey, checking in. I know what this paralysis feels like. I do encourage you to JUST take it out. Maybe skim it if you can. Nothing else, then take another little break for a time. You got this <3

Ah thanks for the response!

Can you explain what you mean by a more dramatic phenotype?

Yeah genuinely someone answer this, what DO the female penguins do for warmth?

Hello I think this is funny because I think I understand more or less what this is implying (atoms and electrons? And because it’s missing one electron etc.)? I think?

But would love if someone explained it for those that are way less smart than me who wouldn’t get the joke, unlike me.

That’s what they said /j

Psycho pass mentioned! (Do not mention season 2).

Genuine questions for the purpose of discussion: should photos of spiders also be marked as NSFW for arachnophobia? What other phobias should and shouldn’t be considered in this?

I do not have any genuine phobias, so I concede that I’m speaking out of my limited knowledge coming only from years of solo and group therapy for other issues, but NSFW tags are intended to block images that you wouldn’t want your boss (or mom, or general public) to see you looking at due to them being sexual or otherwise inappropriate. There are a lot of things that are going to trigger phobias and other very difficult feelings for a lot of people, but I don’t think it’s feasible to ask that everyone accommodate all possibilities when posting images or sharing stories. I think it’s a positive thing to tag content warnings in bodies of text, for example, and at the same time I think that a person that can have an extreme reaction to what is otherwise an innocuous image due to a personal issue needs to take responsibility for it.

I hope this doesn’t come across as minimizing the very real struggles that people with phobias have to deal with on a daily basis, and as a whole I support making public spaces more accessible.

ETA: my understanding of a phobia is having an irrational fear so severe that it causes very real and disruptive anxiety and panic upon being exposed to the phobia. If seeing an image like this causes you discomfort or unease, but doesn’t really affect you severely or impact your life negatively, is that really a phobia?

Is this another situation like the blobfish, where the photos of it are just what it looks like when the body has been destroyed from the change in pressure but it actually looks underwhelming at the depths it normally lives in?

That’s a great idea and helps with one of the big things that triggers waiting mode for me. To add to the conversation of techniques, another factor of waiting mode that I experience is the avoidance of task switching (“I don’t want to start doing this only to have to stop doing it suddenly”). For this, perhaps adding an alarm earlier as a heads-up to prepare to switch tasks might be helpful?

:(

I think it’s more a reference to pausing the doom scrolling which is maybe a habit to avoid the boredom or discomfort of the current situation, and trying to focus on enjoying that. Enjoying your time eating lunch or dinner, and focusing on that, instead of scrolling or watching a video always. Enjoying a walk without a podcast or music. Enjoying the comfort of being safe and warm in bed instead of distracting from thoughts. Things like that. It’s a skill you build and as you build it you will be more open to getting dopamine from sources other than doomscrolling. Other benefits include being able to manage uncomfortable thoughts and feelings better and also have the boredom and discomfort drive you to do other things. Of course this works best when paired with things like DBT skills to help with thoughts and emotions.

Thank you! If I get it working my next shot I’ll let you know. Ads (among other features I miss from revanced) have been driving me crazy.

I neglected to think about that, thank you. I’ll edit my comment.

I am

Haven’t found anyone else with the same problem. It’s about time I try again though, maybe whatever’s going wrong (or whatever I’m doing wrong) is fixed.

Not trying to rag on you, but pretty much anyone can draw (barring fairly severe mental and or physical disabilities), you just place judgement on yourself that you can’t draw “well”. Which, by the way for a simple comic like this, you don’t really need to draw well to express your idea well. I like that AI can help make the creation of things like this quick and easy for people, but I also encourage you to try things that you think you “can’t do” and let go of that judgement you place on yourself for what it needs to be.

I don’t know what I’ve been doing wrong but revanced has already not been working for me. I’ve insled it correctly a couple of times and I’ve tried a few times since I couldn’t to uninstall and reinstall with whatever the latest instructions were to no avail :/
