my top bit of advice going into the new year: compliment people. especially strangers. literally everyone you interact with if you can. when you buy coffee in the morning compliment the barista's tattoos. when you're chatting with a coworker tell them that by the way you like their outfit. always find something they've chosen to do on purpose. nail polish, jewellery, tattoos, hair colour/style, statement accessory, outfit, etc are all good bets. things people hope will be noticed. things that aren't too personal so it doesn't make them uncomfortable (eg probably not their physical features). i've gotten into the habit of scanning everyone i talk to for something about them that i think is cool so i can tell them. it's a great habit because it makes me notice people and realise just how many neat little details there are in people's presentation of themselves that might pass me by if i wasn't paying attention. and it brings out so much joy. you'd be surprised how much it disarms people to receive an unexpected compliment from someone they don't know. it is the most sincere smile you will see all day long. it feels nice to make people happy but it also means you win the social interaction. establish dominance by complimenting a stranger's earrings and disappearing into the fog

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

the curse of adhd:

i will remember with absolute clarity, when the thought strikes me that i have a text to send someone, that this is the fourth time in three days i've attempted to send this specific text

i will forget, in the time it takes me to pick up my phone, that i picked it up intending to send a text

Compulsory Question 1

I was not present on the week when manifesto lecture was presented and so I was put in a group with other people who is also not present. It was challenging for sure because we're working with people who are not usually our group partner and I feel like all of us are more of a passive type of person. We honestly have made a group a week before but no one really discuss anything and at the end we decided to work on it just the day before the CTS B class.

Honestly, I'm not satisfied with the manifesto my group made, I think it's way too empty and there's really not much of anything. I think we are having a bit of a communication problem so the idea was there but the execution was not that good.

We are asked to create a manifesto that sums up Critical Thinking Skills B (CTS B) and address the seven weekly topics one after the other. Me and my group chose "Good design is long lasting" for our design principles. Good design is long lasting conveys the idea that meaningful design last for a long time, is ageless, and enduring because of its utility, relevance, and aesthetic appeal. We believe that design should be timeless, long lasting, offering importance and meaning that transcend the present moment.

I think it's crucial to include a principle that emphasis how designs must evolve without losing their essential significance. For example, the Mercedes Benz logo has been changing for over the years subtly adapting to contemporary trends while maintaining its fundamental elements. It reflects on what a good design is long lasting should be and as it changes throughout the years, it has shifted to a more simpler design yet consistent.

Simplicity is one of the "good design is long lasting" design principle, which means designs should be as simple as possible while still maintaining functionality and usability. This means that designers should strive to remove unnecessary elements from their designs while focusing on creating a clean, simple user experience. one of the keys to creating lasting value is simple, intuitive design, and is more resistant to trends and adaptable to users over time.

The dedication towards long-term viability and impact is reflected in our long-lasting design. Our designs will become refined as we incorporate longevity, adaptability, and critical thinking into branding design. This encourages our designs to be long-lasting in an ever-changing environment while remaining essential.

I think the biggest disservice bg3 fans do to Wyll is by making him out to be the ‘normal’ guy. He’s easily the most unhinged person there. He’s like ‘look, Father! Would a catastrophic disappointment do THIS?’ And gets one of his limbs turned into a giant tentacle or smth to save a box of kittens. Exposed to Mizora and didn’t become a misogynist. I heard him say ‘huzzah’. I want to study him.

i see this jason todd who actually looks his very young age (instead of the 30yr old man that comics like to portray)

and feel my heart breaking just imagining bruce beating him up, almost killing him, mind-breaking him, and just overall being a total piece of shit father towards him.

a huge chunk of the reason why people don't view bruce's actions towards jason as abusive or wrong is because jason doesn't look his age. he's drawn to be this 35yr old father of three who looks even older than dick (and way too on par with bruce) that people see their fights as one between batman and any of his regular rogues. when they fight, it just looks like batman is fighting a man his age and not an actual young person. it doesn't look like batman is fighting his son who's barely even drinking age (and who def wasn't drinking age in utrh). their fights are portrayed in a way that eliminates the very real power struggle between them.

this applies to jason's entire character as well. a lot of people don't sympathize with how he died or his actions as robin or his fights with the other bats because he doesn't look his age. he always looks older and scarier than everyone else. tim has many sympathizers from the titans tower incident because jason just looked like a grown man fighting a 12yr old (even tho i disagree, tim was built and like 17 lmfao).

anyways, i just wish comics would actually draw jason to look his age, which literally ranges from 19 to early twenties. he's young- so young, and it's so annoying to see him drawn and written as someone older than even bruce.
