I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

this reminds me to ask. Hey, folks who get stuck with executive dysfunction, specifically movement initiation (like when you're trying to get up to, idk, get the ice cream you want for dessert)?

Can you do me a favor? Next time you're stuck, try wiggling your toes and then trying to Get Up To Do The Thing and tell me whether or not it helps?

I have some half assed ideas about why this might work revolving around the possibility of being able to use smaller motions to build up the dopaminergic tone in the striatum of the brain. That's a major structure involved in both motivation and movement, both of which dopamine interact powerfully with. And it does seem to be useful for me, at least. But I can't figure out if that's some internal belief thing on my end or something more generally applicable, and I would love some help figuring out if this is useful for other people.

Non-redstoners trying to redstone: the magic of the glowing red ores is one of the great mysteries of the world that few have mastered. But with careful study, observation, and practice I too may be able to harness its powers

Literally anyone trying to use an armor stand: Cleo is a witch and if I touch their spell book I will die or be haunted for the rest of my days by the aftershocks of magic I will never comprehend

I feel like Dick’s tired and bitchy oldest sibling demeanour is so underappreciated in the fandom like he’s literally just this:

Tim: yeah we actually went to investigate it last week and came to the outskirts of bludhaven, it actually took us a while to find their base but we did!

Dick: WHY DIDNT YOU CALL ME?? I COULD HAVE HELPED I KNEW WHERE THEY WERE IVE BEEN FOLLOWING THEM FOR AGES

Also Dick:

One of his siblings: *calls*

Dick: UGHHHHH YES WHAT DO YOU WANT? MORE MONEY? A CHECK? A CAR? MY SOU- you want me to help out with taking down a new Z-list villain? Is everyone else busy?? UGHH FINE ILL BE THERE IN 30 YOU OWE ME ONE

Momente Cruciale în Istoria Omenirii: Cele Bune și Cele Rele? 9

Păcatul nu este doar o greșeală din trecut ⇰este o forță activă care modelează prezentul și viitorul. De la Eden la Babilon și până azi, alegerea între ascultare și neascultare scrie istoria omenirii și a sufletului fiecăruia dintre noi. Vezi și aici⌚7 min.

Momente Cruciale în Istoria Omenirii ⫸ Căderea Omului se răsfrânge asupra mediului înconjurător și a generațiilor viitoare

Ce este păcatul ?

Păcatul este definit ca încălcarea voită și conștientă a voii lui Dumnezeu, prin gând, cuvânt sau faptă. Deoarece voia lui Dumnezeu se manifestă în legile Sale, păcatul mai este numit și fărădelege.

DECRIPTAT: păcatul poate fi descris ca o alegere conștientă de a acționa împotriva unor principii morale sau reguli stabilite, având consecințe negative asupra propriei persoane sau a celor din jur. Este o abatere de la ceea ce este considerat corect sau just, fie în cadrul unei credințe religioase, fie într-un context social sau etic.

Cum se naște păcatul?

🔹 Pentru adolescenți :

Totul pornește de la o dorință – ceva ce ne atrage tare, tare. Poate un gând, o tentație, o chestie care pare inofensivă. Dar dacă o tot hrănim și nu o controlăm, ajungem să facem ceva ce știm că nu e ok. Și dacă o ținem tot așa, lucrurile pot merge din rău în mai rău.

La final, s-ar putea să ne doară mai mult decât ne-am așteptat…

🔹 Pentru un blog spiritual :

Păcatul nu apare brusc, ci se naște dintr-o dorință care prinde rădăcini în noi. La început, pare mică, chiar justificabilă. Dar dacă o lăsăm să crească, ea dă naștere păcatului.

Și păcatul, dacă nu e oprit:

Aduce după sine moartea sufletului – adică goliciune, vină și suferință interioară

🔹 Pentru un context motivațional :

„Totul începe cu o alegere mică: o dorință care ne atrage într-o direcție greșită. Dacă îi dăm curs, ea se transformă în acțiune greșită.

Iar fiecare acțiune are urmări!

Cu cât mergem mai departe pe drumul greșit, cu atât ne îndepărtăm mai mult de cine suntem cu adevărat - și ne apropiem de suferință, de pierdere, de moarte sufletească.”

📖Iată cum este explicat procesul nașterii păcatului: „Fiecare este ispitit când este tras și amăgit de însăși pofta sa. Apoi pofta, zămislind, naște păcat, iar păcatul, odată săvârșit, aduce moarte” (Iacov 1:13-15).

DECRIPTAT: Păcatul apare atunci când o persoană caută împlinirea în altceva decât în valori morale sau credință, ducând la alegeri care contravin echilibrului interior.

Impactul păcatului asupra ordinii naturale

Momente Cruciale în Istoria Omenirii

Linia genealogică a lui Cain: de la blestem la dispariție?

Adam → Cain (Anul lumii ~130) → Cain își ucide fratele Abel și este blestemat să rătăcească

Cain → Enoh* (Anul lumii ~230) → Cain construiește o cetate și o numește după fiul său, Enoh. Mai târziu, această regiune va fi asociată cu Babilonul, devenit un simbol al DECĂDERII UMANE

Enoh → Irad (Anul lumii ~330) → Dezvoltarea primelor comunități urbane

Irad → Mehujael (Anul lumii ~430) → Creșterea populației și diversificarea meseriilor

Mehujael → Metușael (Anul lumii ~530) → Apariția primelor conflicte între clanuri

Metușael → Lameh (Anul lumii ~630) → Lameh introduce poligamia și se laudă cu violența sa

Lameh → Iabal, Iubal, Tubal-Cain, Naama (Anul lumii ~730) → Iabal devine părintele celor ce locuiesc în corturi și cresc vite, Iubal inventează instrumentele muzicale, Tubal-Cain dezvoltă prelucrarea metalelor, iar Naama este menționată fără detalii suplimentare

Supravietuirea neamului

Linia lui Cain dispare odată cu Potopul (Anul lumii ~1656), când doar descendenții lui Set supraviețuiesc prin Noe.

🔹 Enoh, fiul lui Cain, nu este același cu Enoh, fiul lui Iared, care a fost ridicat la ceruri. Enoh menționat în Geneza 5:21-24 este cel care „a umblat cu Dumnezeu” și „nu s-a mai aflat, pentru că Dumnezeu l-a luat”. Acesta este strămoșul lui Noe și face parte din linia lui Set, nu din linia lui Cain.

Este posibil ca descendenții lui Set să se fi amestecat cu cei ai lui Cain, având în vedere că toți oamenii proveneau din Adam și Eva.

Biblia nu oferă detalii explicite despre acest lucru, dar în Geneza 6:2, se menționează că „fiii lui Dumnezeu” au luat de soții „fiicele oamenilor”. Ceea ce unii interpreți consideră a fi o referire la descendenții lui Set care s-au unit cu cei ai lui Cain.

👉 SI GHICIȚI CE AU MAI REZULTAT DIN ACESTE ÎNCRUCIȘĂRI DE LINII? 👹 Giganții! 👹

Deși giganții au pierit în Potop, ei au reapărut ulterior, conform unor surse istorice și biblice. Există două posibile explicații pentru acest fenomen:

Factor genetic – Posibila unire a descendenților lui Set cu cei ai lui Cain, ceea ce ar fi putut contribui la reapariția acestor ființe.

Amplificarea răutăților și nedreptăților – Creșterea violenței și a corupției în societățile post-potop ar fi putut favoriza apariția unor indivizi excepțional de puternici sau impunători.

👉PROBABIL SI Homosexualitatea. o MOSTENIRE (și genetică*) grea. O să revin și cu alte posibile cauze în categoria INSIDE (seria 3).

Răutatea liniei lui Cain transmisă din neam în neam + număr imens strămoși + (seria 3) = 😔

Impactul căderii în păcat asupra întregii creații

Biblia nu menționează explicit un paralelism între comportamentul anormal de împerechere al animalelor și păcatul sodomiei la oameni. Totuși, putem interpreta că, odată cu căderea în păcat a omului (Geneza 3), întreaga creație a fost afectată, inclusiv comportamentul lor.

Romani 8:22 - „Căci știm că toată făptura împreună suspină şi împreună are dureri până acum” sub povara păcatului, ceea ce sugerează o dezordine generală în natură.

În ceea ce privește sodomia, aceasta este condamnată în mai multe pasaje biblice, cum ar fi Geneza 19 (povestea Sodomei și Gomorei) și Leviticul 18:22, fiind considerată o abatere gravă de la ordinea stabilită. Pentru ca se opune pruncii lui Dumnezeu

De ce? ȘI VINE RĂSPUNSUL LA TOATE PROBLEMELE PE CARE LE AVEM!

1. Căderea omului și efectele asupra naturii: Păcatul a adus dezordine în armonia perfectă a lumii create de Dumnezeu. Înainte de păcat, animalele coexistau în pace cu omul, așa cum se reflectă în starea edenică. După cădere, pământul a fost blestemat, iar relația armonioasă între om și animale a fost afectată.

Frica, agresivitatea și instinctele de supraviețuire s-au dezvoltat ca răspuns la noul mediu plin de provocări.

2. Potopul și schimbarea relației dintre om și animale: După potop, Dumnezeu stabilește că animalele vor simți groază și frică față de oameni. Acest moment marchează începutul sălbăticirii animalelor în relație cu omul. Permisiunea de a consuma carne a întărit această distanțare, întrucât omul a devenit și un potențial prădător.

În plus, condițiile de mediu schimbate după potop au influențat adaptarea animalelor, contribuind la comportamente mai defensive și la formarea lanțurilor trofice.

Concluzie: De ce....?

Pentru că omul este cununa creației, destinat să stăpânească și să îngrijească lumea pe care Dumnezeu i-a încredințat-o. De la numirea animalelor până la responsabilitatea de a alege între bine și rău, totul i-a fost dat spre administrare.

Asemenea imaginii acestei pagini de blog reflectă această realitate: există doar două căi. În funcție de alegerile noastre, vom sta de-a dreapta sau de-a stânga...

Viața este un drum, iar fiecare pas ne apropie de una dintre aceste destinații!

survival is an act of rebellion. jim loves you SO MUCH. i hope this finds all of us who need it today. please stay alive so we can make it out together. sending so much love and strength

[deservedgrace]

I've been thinking about resurrection eggs today, those plastic eggs with items related to the crucifixion they give to kids around Easter, and thinking about how disturbing the whole thing is

Like, I think the whole concept of essentially celebrating human sacrifice is disturbing enough, but imo it's even more disturbing that we're told about the crucifixion as kids, that we're told about the torture and violence in detail, that we're told his suffering is our fault because we specifically are so evil and horrible and sinful that someone had to be tortured to death to make up for it, that we're told it should have been us up there, that we deserve suffering and violence and abuse and torture simply for existing... and probably other things I'm not thinking of right now, it's all just so sickening

But to do all that while trying to wrap it in a ‧˚₊*̥∗*‧˚₊*̥ uwu cute and innocent little interactive activity for kids uwu ‧˚₊*̥∗*‧˚₊*̥ where they physically have items like a mini spear that represents the one that pierced his side, a crown of thorns to represent the one he was forced to wear, nails to represent the ones that were used to hold him on the cross, leather cords to represent the whip he was beaten with, dice to represent casting lots for his clothes, cloth to represent the linen he was wrapped in after... i don't really have proper words for how disgusting it feels to me now. It's such a "look at what you've done, look at how you did it, look at what you personally contributed to by existing being sinful" while actively trying to make it more appealing to kids in the hopes that they'll internalize it better

Idk. The whole thing is just extremely repulsive to me. It's one thing to talk about the resurrection specifically, but I don't understand how so many people believe graphic depictions of torture and violence are totally fine for kids on its own even without all the other shit that comes with it

[princessofghosts-posts]

Thalia watched how Nico got his whole divine family,including the step-mom that should hate him (like Hera's treatment towards her because of the cheating) and grand-mother (like what???),to the battle ; and then got to know how Percy convinced Poseidon to help the Gods fighting Typhoon,even with his kindgom and people in danger,knowing full well that Zeus will never do that for her.

Percy and Nico got their dads (and family) to fight for and with them,because even if they are sometimes shitty,they still care enough for their children to actually help them and being involved in their life. The only thing Zeus did for her was turning her into a tree (not even his own tree,because Pines are Poesidon's and not Zeus's) for a couple of years,to prevent her from dying.

Even her brother had the opportunity to fight with their dad in BoO,something that Thalia herself never had. And she probably feels bitter about it,because Poseidon and Hades care for their children,even after the oath was broken,but her dad was never there for her and barely did anything to help her.

(OG Little Three trio angst,yes-)

Tbh at this point you should just make your own webcomic app/website because it would probably be 100 times better than whatever going on with webtoon right now.

hahaha it wouldn't tho, sorry 💀

Here's the fundamental issue with webcomic platforms that a lot of people just don't realize (and why they're so difficult to run successfully):

Storage costs are incredibly expensive, it's why so many sites have limitations on file sizes / page sizes / etc. because all of those images and site info have to be stored somewhere, which costs $$$.

Maintenance costs are expensive and get more so as you grow, you need people who are capable of fixing bugs ASAP and managing the servers and site itself

Financially speaking, webcomics are in a state of high supply, low demand. Loads of artists are willing to create their passion projects, but getting people to read them and pay for them is a whole other issue. Demand is high in the general sense that once people get attached to a webtoon they'll demand more, but many people aren't actually willing to go looking for new stuff to read and depend more on what sites feed them (and what they already like). There are a lot of comics to go around and thus a lot of competition with a limited audience of people willing to actually pay for them.

Trying to build a new platform from the ground up is incredibly difficult and a majority of sites fail within their first year. Not only do you have to convince artists to take a chance on your platform, you have to convince readers to come. Readers won't come if there isn't work on the platform to read, but artists won't come if they don't think the site will be worth it due to low traffic numbers. This is why the artists with large followings who are willing to take chances on the smaller sites are crucial, but that's only if you can convince them to use the site in favor of (or alongside) whatever platform they're using already where the majority of their audience lies. For many creators it's just not worth the time, energy, or risk.

Even if you find short-term success, in the long-term there are always going to be profit margins to maintain. The more users you pull in, the more storage is used by incoming artists, the more you have to spend on storage and server maintenance costs, and that means either taking the risk at crowdfunding (ex. ComicFury) or having to resort to outsider investments (ex. Tapas). Look at SmackJeeves, it used to be a titan in the independent webcomic hosting community, until it folded over to a buyout by NHN and then was pretty much immediately shuttered due to NHN basically turning it into a manwha scanlation site and driving away its entire userbase. And if you don't get bought out and try your hand at crowdfunding, you may just wind up living on a lifeline that could cut out at any moment, like what happened to Inkblazers (fun fact, the death of Inkblazers was what kicked off the cultural shift in Tapas around 2015-16 when all of IB's users migrated over and brought their work with them which was more aimed towards the BL and romancee drama community, rather than the comedy / gag-a-day culture that Tapas had made itself known for... now you deadass can't tell Tapas apart from a lot of scanlation sites because it got bought out by Kakao and kept putting all of its eggs into the isekai/romance drama basket.)

Right now the mindset in which artists and readers are operating is that they're trying way, way too hard to find a "one size fits all" site. Readers want a place where they can find all their favorite webtoons without much effort, artists wants a place where they can post to an audience of thousands, and both sides want a community that will feel tight-knit. But the reality is that you can't really have all three of those things, not on one site. Something always winds up having to be sacrificed - if a site grows big enough, it'll have to start seeking more funding while also cutting costs which will result in features becoming paywall'd, intrusive ads, creators losing their freedom, and/or outsider support which often results in the platform losing its core identity and alienating its tight-knit community.

If I had to describe what I'm talking about in a "pick one" graphic, it would look something like this:

(*note: this is mostly based on my own observations from using all of these sites at some point or another, they're not necessarily entirely accurate to the statistical performance of each site, I can only glean so much from experience and traffic trackers LMAO that said I did ask some comic pals for input and they were very helpful in helping me adjust it with their own takes <3).

The homogenization of the Internet has really whipped people into submission for the "big sites" that offer "everything", but that's never been the Internet, it relies on being multi-faceted and offering different spaces for different purposes. And we're seeing that ideology falter through the enshittification of sites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. where users are at odds with the platforms because the platforms are gutting features in an attempt to satisfy shareholders whom without the platforms would not exist. Like, most of us aren't paying money to use social media sites / comic platform sites, so where else are they gonna make the necessary funds to keep these sites running? Selling ad space and locking features behind paywalls.

And this is especially true for a lot of budding sites that don't have the audience to support them via crowdfunding but also don't have the leverage to ask for investments - so unless they get really REALLY lucky in EITHER of those departments, they're gonna be operating at a loss, and even once they do achieve either of those things there are gonna be issues in the site's longevity, whether it be dying from lack of growing crowdfunding support or dying from shareholder meddling.

So what can we do?

We can learn how to take our independence back. We don't have to stop using these big platforms altogether as they do have things to offer in their own way, particularly their large audience sizes and dipping into other demographics that might not be reachable from certain sites - but we gotta learn that no single site is going to satisfy every wish we have and we have to be willing to learn the skills necessary to running our own spaces again. Pick up HTML/CSS, get to know other people who know HTML/CSS if you can't grasp it (it's me, I can't grasp it LOL), be willing to take a chance on those "smaller sites" and don't write them off entirely as spaces that can be beneficial to you just because they don't have large numbers or because they don't offer rewards programs. And if you have a really polished piece of work in your hands, look into agencies and publishing houses that specialize in indie comics / graphic novels, don't settle for the first Originals contract that gets sent your way.

For the last decade corporations have been convincing us that our worth is tied to the eyes we can bring to them. Instead of serving ourselves, we've begun serving the big guys, insisting that it has to be worth something eventually and that it'll "payoff" simply by the virtue of gambler's fallacy. Ask yourself what site is right for you and your work rather than asking yourself if your work is good enough for them. Most of us are broke trying to make it work on these sites anyways, may as well be broke and fulfilled by posting in places that actually suit us and our work if we can. Don't define your success by what sites like Webtoons are enforcing - that definition only benefits them, not you.

woe, sonic fankid be upon ye 💥

introducing starlight the hedgehog!

they're a son/silv/shad fankid essentially LOL

text from the image says:

- being of chaos produced from residual energy left by sonic, shadow, and silver when they use chaos powers - like when u fry something in oil and some bits come off... or like when u boil pasta and the water gets starchy... - the bits eventually merged their shared qualities to form this artificial hedgehog and dropped it in front of silver while he was mid-transition between timelines/dimensions

tl;dr made from Energy Soup created by extensive use of chaos emeralds. a cheerful thing with lots to learn :)

pronouns are probs gonna change but for now it's she/he/they (or basically, generally feminine but prefers masc/neutral terms)

sexuality hcs for dads // parenting habits // dad interactions // living situation // domestic stuff // baby go to school // aged up // gardening with silver // silver sense // nicknames, etc. // missions with rouge // gender presentation // family dynamic // pre-relationship // shadow gets hurt at work sometimes

fun facts:

the quills sticking up is not consistent cuz it depends on how much he gives a shit about looking clean-cut on any given day

silver only really used the emeralds in '06 and that one time in the metal virus arc of IDW (if he's used them more than that don't spoil me on it LOL im still getting through the comics) so his influence is not as strong as the other 2. it comes through mostly in personality (generally pleasant, socially inept)

starlight exists in strict juxtaposition against the other hedgehogs because unlike all 3 of them they literally were created for no purpose other than to exist. hence she has a weaker sense of self than silver or shadow and especially sonic. it's fun to think of them raising a kid and having to manually instruct them how to enjoy living

hypothetically has access to chaos powers like her "dads" but since chaos energy is also literally her molecular makeup she basically falls apart if she uses it too much, hence the inhibitors

also i say "dads" but the only one of the 3 who really acts parental towards them is shadow (more on that later)
