That's Danish; IKEA Is Swedish.

One thing that's interesting about Dr. Phil is that his show is a spin-off of Oprah and one thing I've discovered, that's interesting, is that it's virtually impossible to find footage from Oprah's show. Go looking and you'll find it hard to find uncut clips of even well-liked famous moments; instead they're all intercut with commentary on the event. Interviews watched by tens of millions of people now exist only in twenty seconds of clips interspersed with talking heads telling us how to feel about it. Over 4,5000 episodes, almost all of it vaulted

Remember Oprah platforming anti-vaxxers and all kinds of alt-med scams and literary hoaxes? Uh, no you don't, prove it. She doesn't even let people see uncut footage of the Good Moments of her show (since she seems to be deeply embarrassed by literally all of it?) so of course she's burying any Bad Moments.

In conclusion the Rainbow Parties segment is one of the few full clips you'll find online intact, somehow. Enjoy.

If you were wanting to buy "deny defend depose" merch or send money to pay for Mangione's legal fees, consider instead donating to the Innocence Project. Instead of sending letters to him (he's probably getting plenty already), consider writing another incarcerated person who doesn't have the same media coverage!

first time using lasso tool, i had a lot of fun with this

Let's say there's an online community of people who all have Whatever Syndrome. They talk about all the difficulties and frustrations and issues etc related to Whatever Syndrome. They share advice, they vent, sometimes they just chat and enjoy talking to people who can relate to them properly. Sometimes they make fun relatable observational comedy-style memes about common Whatever Syndrome experiences.

Some of the experiences they make memes about will probably overlap to some extent with the experiences of people who are not on the WS spectrum at all. Let's stipulate (made-up, obviously meaningless numbers incoming) that 10% of the memes they make appeal to a non-WS audience in this way, but 90% are highly specific to the WS niche and won't really be appreciated by outsiders.

In this scenario, the 10% of universally relatable memes will, because they are universally relatable, likely spread far beyond the core WS community. The 90% of niche ones will not (why would they?). From the perspective of someone without WS who doesn't engage with the WS community directly, this will look like 100% of all WS memes seeming to be about things that are just universal human experiences being described as WS-specific experiences for no particular reason. This person might begin to suspect that WS is just a trendy diagnosis that arbitrarily groups completely normal personality traits as a medical issue and that the whole thing is maybe kind of fake. This person is not being unreasonable given the information they have, but for reasons that are hopefully obvious the information they have is very skewed.

On the other hand! If this sort of thing distorts the public perception of what WS is about strongly enough, some people are going to latch onto the relatable memes about it, relate to them (because they're relatable), and wonder if maybe that means they themselves might have WS. This person might do a bit of googling and discover that, in addition to all the relatable stuff they relate to, there are other symptoms that they don't really identify with as much... but then, no one really seems to talk about those things very often, you mostly see people talking about [relatable stuff] when WS comes up, so the latter must be like, the main part, right? So (they think) it can't be too important if the other stuff doesn't apply to me.

[also the whole medical establishment is nightmarishly hard to access and a lot of doctors suck and make diagnoses based on random whims and prejudices, blah blah blah you know all this, the point is that the most obvious solution to "how do I confirm whether I do or don't have a specific medical thing?" is often not reliable.]

Well now, given all of the above... stuff might get confusing huh!

Okay, okay, (you might say), that's all well and good as a toy model of things that might be underlying the discourse you're alluding to, but to what extent is this dynamic actually responsible for what's actually happening? Aha! I have no clue whatsoever, sorry. I'm just the ideas guy.

do you guys know about the internet roadtrip? right now somewhere between 500 and 900 people are collectively 'driving' a car on google street view trying to make it to canada. it's fun i recommend it

and there are eight billion of them!

girl who is animated, she is a flesh and marrow golem - a division of the world that runs according to the needs of a number of complex cohabitating forms of life, notably coming in the form of a number of sponges each with its own distinguishing properties and materials. The body, that is, that political organisation of sponges, reshapes itself as an organic sculpture. The sculpture looks something like a city that reaches into the sky, and there it is in conversation with a great light that drives it.

I had the idea to do a cell model cosplay beamed into my forebrain like visions from an angry god a few weeks ago and started working on this immediately. and good lord this was the most fun ive had on a project in a long time. like seriously it was so fun getting creative with these materials and thinking about fun ways to do all the organelles. while working on this i probably went "hehehehohohe" at least once an hour.

I think i'm going to name this guy Prota Z. Bacilli. If you look closely I do have every basic organelle that you'd expect from a cell model. (and thats a flu shot lol.)

also please appreciate this costume iteration because. i had to get my mail in this and freaked out my mailman.

My copy agrees with blatherby's.

I miss when I would get Tumblr asks that actually said things and weren't just digital panhandling scams.

This is a good example of what are called "Barnum statements" -- things which are true of almost everyone, but which seem insightful when you read them because they are true of *you*. Furthermore, each result contains many statements (I counted 56 in mine), so that if any one of them matches your current preoccupations or self-concept, you'll forget the ones that didn't apply or only slightly applied.

A fun exercise when you encounter something like this is to tally up all the statements and see how many were really true. In my results, I counted 20 statements that were true about me and 25 that were false.

This doesn't mean that the results are useless, since you may not have thought about your life and emotions in these terms before, and it is still useful to consider e.g. whether you harbor resentment about someone in your life, or whether peace is truly achievable with your current approach. It just means that the usefulness of the results depends entirely on you and your self-knowledge, and the test has no special insight about you.

Quotes from my results under the cut for spoilers.

[disliked olive green] ...inhibiting limitations. Difficult circumstances limit your opportunities for experience and your freedom of action. You feel deprived because you have to do without some of the things that would make life pleasant. You expect far too much understanding for your needs from other people, and as a result, you often feel disappointed. You might ask yourself how much understanding and empathy you extend to others. You would like to be free of your...

I think it's quite clever in the way it mixes different motivations and traits. Here, the main topic is "inhibiting limitations", which makes me think of anxiety and an aversion to breaking rules. But then the next two sentences are about being constrained by non-omnipotence and unable to afford everything you want, which is a universal complaint among finite beings, but not one that seems particularly related to inhibitions. Then, the next two sentences are about wanting others to understand you but not being very understanding of others, which again is very common among humans, but which has even less to do with inhibitions.

As a result, someone whose main problem is any one of {anxiety, poverty, ingratitude} might feel like this paragraph applies to them "uncannily well". And there are 12 such paragraphs! It's no wonder that so many people upthread have felt understood.
