sometimes allowing yourself to be happy can be hard. especially if you were raised under the impression that you weren’t meant to be happy, or that what makes you happy is inherently wrong.
Context: The party was moving rocks from a recent cave-in to create a small path to pass through with ease. Our Druid (Me) lifts a rock to find the top half of a soldier’s corpse. The rest of the party consists of an Orc Barbarian, Wood Elf Rogue, and a Human Warlock who is a charlatan.
Druid: That must have hurt.
Warlock: Can I pickpocket him?
DM: Ugh…Roll.
Warlock: *Rolls a nat1*
DM: You come up empty due to the fact that the half of him with the pockets is nowhere to be found. Dumb ass.
This is inside ToddTest. Two woman named Women 65 and Woman 64. The guy is actually voiced by Todd Howard and he swears. I was hoping he would say fuck.
On the desk we have a letter from Todd Howard himself.
As we see here, Todd once again shows us that he is a demon with a third eye. I will now look at Morrowind.
This is inside Morrowind’s Toddtest. Here we have the only play tester for the Elder Scrolls games. He seem to be stuck in some kind of limbo.
Here we have proof that Todd is a furry by keeping a naked Khajiit named Pretty Kitty next to a pile of moon suger.
as a general rule. if what we’re calling ‘cultural appropriation’ sounds like nazi ideology (i.e. ‘white people should only do white people things and black people should only do black people things’) with progressive language, we are performing a very very poor application of what ‘cultural appropriation’ means. this is troublingly popular in the blogosphere right now and i think we all need to be more critical of what it is we may be saying or implying, even unintentionally.
There is nothing wrong with everyone enjoying each other’s cultures so long as those cultures have been shared.
Eating Chinese food, watching Bollywood movies, going to see Cambodian dancers, or learning to speak Korean so you can watch every K drama in existence is totally fine. The invitation to participate in those things came from within those cultures. The Mexican family that owns the place where I get fajitas wants me to eat fajitas. Their whole business model kind of depends on it, actually.
If you see something from another culture you think you might want to participate in, but you don’t know if that would be disrespectful or appropriative, you can just…ask. Like. A Jewish friend explained what a mezuzah was to me, recently. (It’s the little scroll-thing near their front doors that they touch when they come into their house. It basically means “this is a Jewish household.”)
“Oh, cool,” I said. “Can I touch it? Or is it only for Jewish people?”
“You can touch it or you can not touch it,” she said. “I don’t care.”
“Cool, I’m gonna touch it, then.”
“Cool.”
It’s not hard.
You want to twerk, twerk. I’ve never heard a black person say they didn’t think anybody else should be allowed to twerk. Just that they want us to acknowledge that they invented that shit, not Miley fucking Cyrus.
this is a good post.
Thank you, I was trying to sort this out in my head but you explained it very well.
soooo they a) have a health network that b) diagnoses and addresses mental illness including chemical deficiencies and c) makes store bought brain chemicals accessible to people who need them, which d) allows people the ability to help manage their depression because their chemistry is no longer fucked up and actively working against them?
Yeah no wonder they’re happy. They are getting treatment and aren’t suffering because their lying brains are bullshitting them into anxiety and depression. sign me the fuck up.
Them: people in Denmark who need anti depressants get them
Some of yall: they cheatin
denmark: now if your brain cant produce serotonin, store bought is fine
