BOOK REVIEW: “Buddha’s Brain”: by Rick Hanson and Richard Mendius

This book has been out there a while, about twenty years, but not only did I just now discover it, but I suspect that many people who’d like to ingest this kind of knowledge and information are more interested than inspired, because it’s not easy knowledge to ingest, without resorting to woo-woo and juju, which ultimately does not hold up to peer-reviewed scrutiny. Because this is the point where…

Having to constantly predict the weather to know how much food to stock up on led Northern Europeans to have a more developed pre-frontal cortex than Roman-Catholics. When not dying of starvation or disease brought by an invasion from the warmer south, Northern Europeans typically had longer lifespans than Southern Europeans.

look I don’t know what award-winning journalist and author daniel molloy said to make louis look like a kicked puppy and armand to huff like a 1950s housewife whose appetisers were just insulted —

but he was absolutely right and they deserved it

[fairylando]

very niche but, did we realize yet as a collective that if brocedes are literally louis de pointe du lac and lestat de lioncourt from interview with the vampire (2022) then, rosquez are literally daniel molloy and armand???

because i was thinking about it and even more-so in the tv show... old blonde blue eyed sarcastic extremely curious dude with two daughters that has it out (for a reason he can't pinpoint) for this doe eyed young looking mysterious even older vampire but is aroused scared by him because of the power he has on him and his memories and he doesn't quite remember that they've had a situationship 50 years prior for 12 years that totally changed his life and he's sure he has messed with his head so he hates him... and even the book canon of it all of — the age gap (of 420ish years??), their codependency, the stalking/hunting through all the world (kind of like them travelling for the races), the push and pull, the toxicity, the blood amulet, the thinking they're going to hate eachother if they both become vampires because they DON'T KNOW HOW TO VERBALLY COMMUNICATE, and then not seeing eachother FOR YEARS but still being madly in love? but being just too stubborn and proud to overcome their stupid problems.

even the idea that marius tried his best to convince daniel that armand hated him for forcing him to turn him in a vampire, and not quite really succeeding? HELLO??? RINGS A BELL???? (i did not just compare alessio salucci to marius did i?)

feel free to add and share your thoughts btw this has been ongoing just in my head for too long, it's time to share it with the world!!!!

I like to think that she provides comfort to the winners she meets in Heaven who grieve their loved ones in Hell. Some come to her, hoping she would recognize the person in her domain. Maybe their eyes light up when she actually does and manages to offer them the comfort that... Yes, they're managing by. Or, she has to resign herself to lying to them if they've become permanently killed because the exterminations are meant to be a secret. This could add to the reasons why Lilith is so upset at those who support the exterminations and partake in them. The unconscious (subconscious sometimes) mind, as she has been equated with in recent philosophy, is the part of you that wants to keep you alive. Her being the personification of it means that she will do anything in her power to remove the dangers that threaten life as a whole.

my relationship with shipping is complex and obnoxious. im not even gonna get into it. but I think going into 911 thinking buddie was already canon did irreparable damage to my psyche. I literally watched 6 and a half seasons of this show in a week thinking at the end of it buck and eddie were gonna kiss. and then they did not. the real torture nexus was inside me all along.

I loved that fuckin movie. perfect movie for a 14 year old girl im so serious no one got it like the 14 year old girls let me tell u that…. . And It also was the peaks of many careers ie some of the actors and writers and ESPECIALLYthe directors fuck ass russos couldnt make something like this if they got paid a billion dollars this was afluke for those idiots

I just sent a friend an half an hour long rant on a voice message about how DanMachi s1 has better written characters than Fairy Tail s1

patiently awaiting his response

[brutlist]

hey i never talk about heugh during his time in the service mostly bc i know nothing about military accolades etc (bad writer) and also bc it's not really a time in heugh's life that he's proud of considering he only joined to get away from his daddy issues ( he didn't ) on a pipe dream idea that he'd somehow "find himself" or something equally as dumb and got himself fucking killed for being that flavor of stupid lmao so it's a sore subject

I know it’s because of my trauma but I do nOt trust anyone that calls themself an empath. If you think empathy is a personality trait I’m going to assume you are a monster of a person
