POKÉMON GO PEEPS: i put the discord in the description! let's raid! -jarvis

jarvis’ thing abt being afraid to be wrong is so true i double check my own name all the time because i’m afraid of embarrassing myself by literally saying it in front of people

On that very fist thing about the "eating 8 spiders a year in your sleep", it was actually a social experiment by college researchers about how, if you make something SEEM factual and official, it will spread with little to no regard for sourcing the information.

Obviously they proved their hypothesis like a million times over lmao

Jordan is dead on with the optics thing. Those kind of people are infuriating because they only get mad at the optics of something and never look at the context or  nuance of a situation.

“You offer somebody shelter and they didn’t like the decor” that full on punched me in the face.

The thing about being wrong hit so hard, I have autism/ADHD and rejection sensitive dysphoria is so bad sometimes that it makes me feel physically sick. It's awesome that more people are talking about it

That whole thing about not being wrong is so relatable, I once repeated the quote "If thou tastest a crust of bread, thou tastest all the stars and all the heavens" but I couldn't remember who said it so I looked it up and google said Robert Browning. So I looked up what poem he said it in and google said Paracelsus.


So I looked up the story and it does not appear in that story at all. I also found that WB Yeats said it and quoted it to Paracelsus, the actual guy not the story. So I looked him up and unfortunately all his work is in German.

So I asked one the the foremost English language experts on Paracelsus (you can just email university professors) if he said it and his response was "well it certainly is representative of his worldview, but I do not recall him ever saying that exactly."

So my best guess is that WB Yeats said it as a summation of Paracelsus' philosophy and he wrote it in the form of a quote.

This shit took me a week and I was just going to text the quote to a friend under a picture of some bread I made.

The practice Jarvis is talking about is actually called "body doubling!"
It's a great way to increase your productivity by working at the same time with a friend.

I know commenting on the way they sit is so old but I love how chill and comfy they get. Jarvis is fully lying down by 1:38:40 lmao

Sarah Z has a great video about how the more left leaning or 'safe' you try to be the more you're criticized for not doing it to the right extent or in the way that everyone deems 'appropriate'

i was really gullible as a kid and got made fun of for it. so as i got older i overcorrected and always factchecked things before speaking on topics. people started calling me a know-it-all because i always needed to be right. it wasn't because i needed to be right but because i had an overwhelming fear of being wrong. it's gotten better but i definitely don't have a lot of friends because of it and it's still a struggle not to question or push back on things. gotta love that asd/adhd combo ♥

I would love a poster or an embroidery that just says "isn't it weird that there are two kinds of berets, and one is for guns and the other is for, like, a mime"

the jubilee thing jordan mentioned was when jordan laughed when a woman started crying at the thought of someone being hispanic and the chat went "oh but youre making fun of a single mother for crying :/"
looking back im surprised he laughed it off i wouldve lost my mind

I think you guys had a really nuanced and interesting conversation about the concept of safe spaces, it's hard to come to the conclusion that safe spaces aren't going to be perfect. Recognizing that is a really important aspect of advocating or just being a good "ally" (i hate that term sorry lmao). I see people all the time trying to contort themselves into the most all pleasing community and in a very small few of these spaces even resorting to tactics of harassment comparable to harassment campaigns run by the right. No one space is going to perfect, that's why there's a lot more than one. There's always going to be someone you don't get along with, there's always going to be some weird aspect to your community that someone doesn't vibe with. We are humans, there's irrational reasons for every single thing we think, feel, and do.

I'm really sorry if this comes off weird or i said something stupid, i just smoked a bowl AND im autistic, i'd love to clarify anything if i worded it stupid lol <3

speaking of fighting for no reason, the other day my friend and I fought for an hour about whether a latte had to be coffee and milk, AND I WAS RIGHT, a latte doesn't have to EXCLUSIVELY be coffee and milk. even when I proved her right she just said "nuh uh" LIKE

Not all medical specialists stay in their lane. My father was a podiatrist and he dealt with the foot and toes once it got into the ankle he was like “not my specialty here are my recommendations for other doctors” but other podiatrist that also don’t specialize in ankles may jump over and give advice. In worst case scenarios I’ve seen specialists running full on like crystal MLM scams in their office. Not to discredit your ENT doctor I just feel like they were speaking outside of their experience.

as someone who's been both running the parasocial relationship gambit and witnessing it from an outside perspective for like ten years, it is really refreshing to see youtubers who both understand the nuances of parasociality and don't manipulate it for platform gain (cough cough dream). I do hope future generations of YouTube take a page from your book in this regard.

EVERY SINGLE Instagram reels comment section I’ve seen is always  filled with “Um actually” or “I can’t believe you…” or “you didn’t mention…” You guys did a great job about talking about the toll of that from a creators perspective. Very therapeutic to hear it dissected and made me feel less crazy for really disliking it. Couldn’t every be a creator myself without losing my mind…props to you guys

The eating spiders thing may be fake, but I had a spider crawl into my ear while I was asleep once. It was just as upsetting as you’re imagining.

people thinking i dont know something when i just have incredible issues recalling specific words even though im very familiar with them is such a pet peeve of mine. especially at work (college info center)  bc patrons will assume i dont know shit but i just have bad at speaking syndrome
