The Word Slop Is Overgeneralised, Generic And Imprecise, Applied With A Minimum Of Analytical Thought

diet talk is so inexpressibly nonsensical the instant you know anything about "the human body" or "nutrition" or if you think about it for three seconds

for the record, if you feel that you cannot control your eating—like, you sit down intending to eat a handful of chips or a couple cookies, and you enter a fugue state and eat the entire package, and you're like, oh my god, why don't I have any self-control when it comes to food, why do I keep doing this—the answer is that it's because you are probably starving. you are probably running on a severe calorie and nutrient deficit and harming yourself by doing so. we should question the idea that exerting "self-control" when it comes to food is even necessary.

Extending even more my point, after he started working for Reigen, ONE made sure to write Serizawa in good moments. He made a friend, went to a New Years' Party, became the backbone of S&S and is depicted smiling many times. Even on the future omake, where Mob and Reigen are trying to deal with Mob's boss so he doesn't get fired, Serizawa is just... fishing. And he got his first catch and he's so happy about it. Compare this to Reigen being miserable for purposes of comedy every now and then.

I understand when people say to the ones who coddle adult male characters that they're "a grown ass man with dick and balls", but I don't think this applies that well to Serizawa Katsuya because ONE made this ex-terrorist a little too cute in my opinion.

Ohhhhhk

It's time for me to pull out my list of mp100 found family recs ( because found family is the best )

1. Issho - Reigen and Teru dynamics, hurt/comfort, god they're so sweet, it does contain violence and triggering themes (has warnings dw), BUT IT'S THE BEST OK

2. What we Make - Reigen and Tome dynamic, hurt/comfort, also has violence and appropriate warnings, i really like this one

3. The Joy of Cooking (for a Family You Didn't Know You Had) - Reigen and all his esper kids, THIS IS SO WARM AND SWEET, WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN A RECOMMENDATION BEFORE

4. The sun in the summertime - more Reigen and his esper kids, also sweet and warm

5. Domestic - this one's from the Attic au (if you've read abot you might be familiar), hurt/comfort, it's definitely sweet and incredible honestly, but also it does have a lot of triggers, proceed carefully. Personally I love this series so very much

6. Curses and Such - this is found family (in a way ig?), SnS trio and shenanigans, They're at the point where Tome, Serizawa and Ekubo are just used to Reigen's nonsense

And that's it! Those are the one's I've read (and reread). If you have recs, feel free to add to this post!

when playing danmaku games, is it better to focus on your character or on the incoming projectiles?

you ideally develop a sense of spacial awareness for your character, kind of in the same way that you develop an awareness that makes it so you don't have to be entirely conscious of where the cursor is when you move to click something across your screen

as for projectiles, it's best to never focus on the projectile itself, but the empty space around it, so you can interpret the field less as "a wall of mass that will kill me" and more as "the shifting space where it is safe to move"

I made this poorly made collage as a example of what I'm saying. He is too polite and embarressed, how could people not think he's really cute despite working for Claw for 3 years?

Workbooks to improve executive functioning

Since the post I made last night about improving executive functioning was so popular, I figured I should pull these out of my comments and give them their own post, in case it's helpful for people.

I have worked with the publishers of all of the books linked below and can vouch for their psychology books. The publisher of most of them, New Harbinger, is an extremely credible evidence-based psychology publisher.

Obvious disclaimer that everyone's brain is different and what works for someone else may not work for you.

Is there evidence that executive functioning can be improved? Yes. This book appears to be a very thorough overview of the field, and contains both advocates and detractors of cognitive training, for a balanced perspective. From the table of contents, I would really recommend jumping straight to Part 3: Developmental Perspectives for executive functioning (EF) writ large.

Certain therapy modalities are specifically designed for skill-building in areas like impulsivity, decision-making, emotional regulation, and cognitive flexibility, all of which are EF skills or very dependent on EF skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is probably the best field to look at for these - skill-building in those areas is its core goal.

Some DBT workbooks:

The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook: Practical DBT Exercises for Learning Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance

The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook for Teens

There are also a lot of workbooks for ADHD that are sometimes more broad but also can help with executive functioning:

The Adult ADHD and Anxiety Workbook: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Skills to Manage Stress, Find Focus, and Reclaim Your Life

The CBT Workbook for Adult ADHD: Evidence-Based Exercises to Improve Your Focus, Productivity, and Wellbeing

The Neurodivergence Skills Workbook for Autism and ADHD

General executive functioning workbooks:

The Executive Functioning Workbook for Teens

Executive Functioning Workbook for Adults: Exercises to Help You Get Organized, Stay Focused, and Achieve Your Goals

Hope these are helpful to someone!!
