Yup, that's basically the whole point of pain psychology for chronic pain. Telling your brain that you accept the pain signals are stuck, but that ache isn't life threatening and you can get by with fewer warnings about it.

Astro Boy or Kiki's Delivery Service

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

These books are great and I can't recommend them highly enough!

Humans Are Weird: Bungee Jumping

I've talked a lot about adrenaline junkies but is there anything we won't do to get that thrill? The aliens are wondering the same thing...

Alien *shaking head*: so you jump out of aircrafts with thin fabrics...and now you are telling me you find great heights to leap from?

Human: yeah. we just use an elastic cord to yank us back up before we get hurt.

Alien *slow blinks*: so falling to your death is not enough? you must get...closer.

Human: yeah. there's something about watching the ground just come up at you and you can get way closer when bungee jumping.

Alien: ...because getting closer to death is...good?

Human *grins*: we love to cheat death.

Alien *slowly backing away*: I fear what that means for your kind.

I'd love to see moose one day

Idk about y'all but I personally think anyone referring to scars, vitiligo, and cellulite as a fetish thing is saying more about themselves than they realize they are.

I love this picture so much! Post it whenever I come across it.

picketing terf conferences is OUT, releasing 6000 live crickets into the audience of a terf conference and watching chaos erupt as everyone scrambles to evacuate is IN

Quick reminder that it's always morally correct to punch nazis.

I dated someone (who turned out to have) a very loose connection with reality. For example, he regularly asserted that I had the power to win the lottery, I just wasn't trying hard enough. When I said I didn't have that power, he said he'd take that power then. Although, of course, he didn't win the lottery either.

I am comfortable with talking about and poking at the edges of reality. I have always enjoyed a rich inner life unconstrained by reality, and I'm happy to entertain discussions where those ideas bleed through. I thought he was similar. I didn't realise he was quite so... detached... from the commonality accepted reality.

I really miss being about to talk seriously about not quite real things without having to reassure my conversational partner that I understand they're not really real.

there's a lot to be said about how the average person indulges in delusions far more than anyone is really comfortable grappling with. every now and again, a poll comes out that reveals some sort of number of people who believe they have magical powers, usually pretty high, and everyone takes turns making fun of it and affirming their own Sanity

this is more observational than scientific, but it really does seem like writing off delusional thinking as the realm of the "insane" creates this valley where the "normal" person's thinking (especially a person who considers themself normal, but that's a whole other kettle of fish) must be more empirical, because, categorically, they are not insane
